Fishing Frenzy

A pike is a fish that is usually very easy to catch. There are however a few things you need to know. To illustrate these points we will use an example.

Wolves and lions have just about the same object in life. They hunt for a prey to eat. Both often kill their prey with raw power. There is however one thing that they don't have in common when we talk about catching a prey.

These differences can also be found among fish. The salmon hunts in a similar way as the wolf. It chases its pray until it reaches it, and then eats it. Usually it tries to swim at a moderate speed to save energy and wear out what it is chasing.

Lions have a totally different tactic. It waits for food to come walking by. It can lie in high grass, hiding, for several hours just waiting. When an animal finally comes walking by, the lion rushes out and grabs it before the animal know what is going on. This the same tactic as the pike uses. It lies on the bottom and waits for its prey.

Does this information do us any good when we are fishing? Of course it does. It tells us where we should look for the pike. And that can be the difference between catching one and going home with an empty bag. And now we know that the pike likes places it can hide.

Another thing that we can tell is that we can often find the pike close to the bottom. This is usually where the best hiding spots are, and therefore the pike likes to be there.

So what should we use to catch a pike? the first thing that comes to mind is a sinking wobbler. A wobbler is a lure that is very similar to a real fish. Not only that. It is very much like an injured real fish. Therefore it looks like an easy target for the pike. Another popular bait is the live baits. These have often showed a very impressive catch.
