Does anyone have any awesome techniques for fishing Northern Pike?
I'm looking for a really good technique for fishing these awesome' wolves of the water',i've been fishing this one lake that I know has northern in it,and i can't seem to catch em'! I prefer to use artifical lures,like the jointed RAPALA,or Johnson Silver Minnow tipped w/a curly tail grub.Any idea's for me? Holla Back!
Heres a tip for you and everyone else who likes to fish for pike. Instead of using rapalas, use storms original thundersticks. Thundersticks are made of hard plastic instead of balsa wood. With the hard plastic, the pike will slam the lure and will have a harder time penetrating the lure with its teeth. Thus you get a much better hookset as the lure has an easier time sliding through its mouth. With the rapala, the balsa wood is soft and as im sure youve seen, the pikes teeth pretty easily penetrate the surface of the lure. You dont get as good of a hookset meaning possible lost fish. Try em...ive caught many pike bass and muskeys on them. Try twitching them on the surface for explosive topwater action as well.
If youre going for pike keep the colors loud and gaughty. they love that.Try spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwater plugs like pop-Rs and zara spooks, crankbaits, spoons, mepps...the damn things are so aggressive theyll pretty much eat anything. Also try Powerpro superline. Best fishing line there is in my opinion. Really hard for em to bite you off. Also...buy good quality gear. It might cost you a little more but if youre gonna fish you dont want some cheap rig breaking or failing on you. I use quantom, abu garcia, or shimano reels and the rods i use are either falcon, g-loomis, or st. croix. Its worh the money to not have to worry about failing equipment.
