What do you catch pike?

Spinning baits there is a huge variety and all of them in one way or another will be suitable for catching pike.

We suggest paying attention to these fluctuators: Strike Pro Killer Pike, Acme Little Cleo, Abu Garcia Pike, Kolebalka-Peter Shchuchya.
Fidget spinners just like wobblers, do not require special skill and are suitable for beginners. However, it is worth paying attention to the quality of the troller when choosing it. Blue Fox Vibrax Fluorescent 04, Mepps Aglia Long, Extreme Fishing Certain Addiction 15, Balzer Colonel Classic 7, Abu Garcia Fast Attack 3 are popular among anglers.

These lures create their own game, thanks to the rotation of the petal. And on the fidget spinners of inadequate quality weight balance is broken and the petal simply does not work.

Wobblers – the fate of experienced anglers. To date, it is almost impossible to list all types of wobblers: poppers, crankbaits, divers, minnows, jerks, sheads, wibes and many more models. Each of them is created for a certain situation and almost for each there is a different model of wobbler.

Under soft baits it is accepted to mean silicone iscas. The popularity of such baits due to the variety of shapes, colors, sizes, thanks to which, you can pick up a variant under the place and type of fishing. Soft baits are commonly used in jigging. It is also possible to use when fishing in the gills when rigging with an offset hook, so as to collect unhooked. Here are the most catching baits for pike: Keitech Easy Shiner, Crazy Fish Vibro Fat, Akkoi Prime, Pontoon 21 Awaruna, Lucky John Tioga Fat.

Porolon fish. This is the simplest in its design bait, which, however, very accurately imitates a real fish with its game. The foam does not slip on the hook, so it is easier to fix it on the offset. Best of all for such a bait is suitable for step wiring. But if the catch is conducted in shallow water, you can apply and even. But it should be borne in mind that foam rubber is very easily damaged, so in the arsenal of the fisherman should have a sufficient supply of such baits.
Porolonki, produced under the brand Lefty NN, are made very plausibly to imitate a live fish. For example, models Animator have a wide head, curved shape, elongated narrow body. Due to this shape, this bait is perfect for active animation. Lex Porolonium baits are developed by a team of professional sportsmen-spinningists. The geometry of these simple lures is carefully thought out. The flat back makes the hook-up more confident, the gills are beveled, so you can place a double behind them and get an unhooked. In the assortment of this brand there are also interesting models of the mandula type. Segmented body of such a bait realistically moves when wiring, and the plumage of lurex becomes an additional provoking factor.

Searching for pike staging areas

Pike is a predatory fish that prefers to hunt from ambush. If the prey swims at a safely close distance, the pike makes a sharp lunge and grabs it.

The main stands of pike are thickets of algae, snags, berms, pools, exits from holes.

In the hot season it is worth paying attention to the areas of the reservoir, sheltered by the shadow of coastal plants. It is hard for pike in warm water and it tries to find the coolest area.

Time of day for pike fishing

The classic time of day for pike is early morning and evening before sunset. In cloudy weather, it can peck and throughout the day. This is due to the fact that the surface of the water is not warmed under the rays of the sun, as a result of which the pike feels more comfortable and goes on the hunt.

Season for catching pike

Pike on spinning catch from the moment of breaking off the ice on the reservoir and until the appearance of ice crust on the river.

It is difficult to choose the best season for catching pike, but, rather, it is fall. After all, it is this time of year is famous for trophy specimens.

Catching pike in the spring

After breaking the ice, fishermen have a certain period of time when you can actively hunt for pike. This is due to the fact that the pike have a pre spawning feast, which will last until the water warms up to 5-6 °C. Please note that there may be a spawning ban in your region. And it is strictly forbidden to catch pike at this time! After the pike spawns, it starts to get sick and almost completely stops eating. This stage lasts about two weeks. After that, the nibble gradually increases until the water does not begin to heat up too much and the nibble will not go down again.

At this time it is worth giving preference to baits of small sizes.

Catching pike in the summer

Summer is probably the worst season for catching pike. This is due to the presence of some factors.

First, in the summer period is enough animal food base for pike.
Secondly, it is the temperature of the water. It is worth noting that there is a difference between a body of standing water and a river with a current. In a body of standing water is a strong heating of the surface layer of water, and the water in the bottom layer remains cold. This results in a sharp temperature difference, which is known as a “thermocline”. The main object of pike food – white fish – rises in search of food in the upper layers of the reservoir, rich in oxygen. The pike follows it. Therefore, when fishing in such conditions in your arsenal should have different baits. To be able to cover all the layers of the reservoir and find the desired prey.

In reservoirs with the flow of water is mixed and the difference in temperature of the surface and bottom layer is almost no.

Pike at this time of year should be sought under the crowns of nearby growing trees, in dense thickets. It is in such places it tries to hide from the heat.

Catching pike in the fall

Autumn can rightfully be called the time of jigs, deep wobblers and trophies. Cold autumn nights, the water begins to cool down and the fish rolls into deep holes in search of a place to hibernate. It is at this time that the so-called “feeding day” of the pike increases. The fish spends more time on the hunt, so it is much easier to catch it.

What color to choose a bait?

Perhaps one of the most difficult choices of the fisherman is the color of the bait. It’s always worth remembering that there is no universal color that will work always and everywhere. Here are a few tips:

Pike really like the color white. Not always, but the chance that this particular color will shoot is very high;
you should always remember about lures of natural colors: silver, bronze, steel;
in bright sunny days lures with dull colors are suitable;
in cloudy weather you should give preference to bright lures, perhaps even bright acidic;
dark-colored lures are suitable for fishing in dark water;
when fishing at a depth of more than 5 meters color is of minimal importance.

Ideally, it is desirable to keep a large selection of color range of baits. To be able to change them in large quantities and pick up the color for today.

The size of the bait

Pike can swallow a food object with the size of 50% of its length. Usually it will attack a bait equal to 15-20% of its size. Occasionally, of course, there may be some deviations. For example, a large adult may bite a bait designed for a small perch.
