So we are catching a ton of pike but nothing big. Can anyone tell me where to look for the big ones

Bigger baits ?

Not sure how true this is but I've read that large pike will behave differently than small ones, and will go deeper in the summer, towards colder water. Not sure how applicable this would be to a river system where the water is mixing, or to St Law specifically which has relatively cooler Lk O water coming in, but point being: you may indeed need to look to different types of areas than you're currently fishing. Could be holding in deeper water using the slack water behind humps or even chasing baitfish in open water.

Check it out and let us know what you find

Troll along deep ledges and structure with magnum spoons and enough lead to get you near bottom

in the summer up there all the shallow weedy bays are loaded with smaller pike. bigger ones will be in the river. i have done well on the north side of wellesy island. work the shoreline and find points and rocks and anywhere there is a current break where they can rest while waiting for food. the river side of the robinson group islands at the mouth of eel bay is good. so is the bay at the state boat launch on wellesy. stay close to shore or you will be in canada.
