Pike fishing is one of the styles of fishing that is very popular in North America, everyone in the United States and Canada Fish for Pike. It is also commonly done in the spring and summer although some fishermen will do it in the winter as well.
When fishing for Pike there is a few things that you need to keep in mind. You need to know what exact type of bait to use and how to set the hook. There are also many different species of pike and this can get a little bit confusing if you do not know the difference between them.
There are three main types of pikes called Pickerel, Northern Pike, and Muskellunge. If you are fishing for a certain species of pike then it is a good idea to do a little bit of research so that you can find out the characteristics of each type of fish.
Lures and Bait
When trying to pick the right type of bait, I find that minnows and smaller fish work very well for pike. Rapalas are good if you are fishing for those big ones as well.
Generally live bait is what you want to use. You could also use jigs and worms for the smaller pike as I have had lots of success with these as well. Pike are not picky eaters so a variety of lures are going to work for you. You just need to experiment and see what one is going to work best.
As I mentioned before, the spring is generally the best time to fish for pike. This is when they are first starting to come out from the winter and start to feed. I have noticed that the fish bite better in the spring than any other season.
