I would say Lake Wawasee. I've only caught them while bass fishing.
thank you sir
Wawasee spinnerbaits have fun
Or consider going to Green River Lake, in Kentucky (about an hour from Louisville). They have musky - real musky.
Got to agree with Brian. Down through the years, I've caught many pike there while bass fishing.Originally Posted by Brian Craft

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
Wawasee, winona, dewart, James chain for pike.
Barbee, tippy, Webster for musky.
And right now is a real good time. Spinnerbaits, traps, and swim jigs work well for pike.
thank you all
Good info right there!
Nothin like catchin 'em on your own creation!
Fished wawasee today. Water was 72 -73. Caught maybe 10 bass no pike. Beautiful lake. Very clear water any suggestions would be much appreciated. Will fish another lake if pike or Muskie fishing is better. Thank you.
Black spinnerbait with chartreuse blades. Can't explain it, but I've seen it work.

If you make it further North, I've caught pike in Clear Lake (LaPorte), Pine Lake (LaPorte), and Wolf Lake in Hammond. I've only caught them while bass fishing, a few here and there

Chapman and Winona have a bunch of pike and are smaller.
Clear Lake, Hamilton Lake, Lake James would be a few more to consider. Clear holds Indiana's state record for a pike I believe. Hamilton has lots of big ones that get fat on the shad in the lake.
