How to Catch a Pike
October 15th, 2009Advises, Tips & Tricks, Fishing & HuntingFirst of all you need to find pike locations. Pike feed on minnows, walleye and frogs, so you’ll find pike in places which support such wildlife. Pike are a fish that can be caught in great numbers in all seasons.
In summertime pike will be in shallow water, usually bedded down in weeds, because of bright sunlight and shade which bring hunting benefit for pike-predators. In deep weeds try any hooks that look like minnows.
From one side pike is a very aggressive fish, from another side it is enough lazy to forage for a meal if it can take a free one. You can catch a pike by using small fish. But big pike would rather not waste too much time and energy chasing bugs or minnows. So, use a bigger fish to draw a greater pike.
In the fall time the pike will be feeding like crazy because they are getting ready for the up coming winter. You should be focusing on trolling. And if you find the bait fish you can be assured that you have found the pike.
Don’t be in a hurry, before a pike take your lure, it will play with it and bite several times. Leave your lure in the water even if you had the pike and lost it, it is possible that the pike will return. And you will see the float take off through the water if the pike hits your bait.
Anytime at the end of the day is a good time for fishing. Trial and error is the best way to find the fish and find out how they are reacting and to what. And the whole aim is to have fun; of course you will have more fun if you catch the pike. Good luck!
