Catching any fish can be a tricky proposition; here are a few things to be aware of that will make you more successful when fishing for Pike.

1. Be sure you're fishing in a "Pike-friendly" body of water.

It may seem obvious, but if you're not in the right lake or river, your chances of catching a Pike are severely limited. Because Pike like to hide and ambush their prey, you should be looking for structure that will help hide the Pike, such as drop offs and weeds. If the bank is too shallow, the Pike will not be able to hide and if there are no weeds their prey (such as walleye) will be looking for more hidden places to feed. The temperature of the water is also important. Pike are a cold water fish and if the temperature is over 65 degrees the Pike will not feed and may even become sick. Generally, a lake or river with warm water will have many small, skinny, unhealthy Pike. Now you know why so many people head to Canada looking for large, vigorous fish!

2. Pick the best time of day.

Pike are aggressive and will strike almost any time of day, but early morning, early evening and right before a rain storm are especially good times to go fishing for Pike. Take advantage of these times of naturally occurring body rhythms and feeding patterns.

3. Use the proper lure for the situation.

For instance, larger spoons work well for trolling or casting. However, jig heads tipped with live bait or curly-tail type plastic bodies work better for jigging over the side of the boat.

4. Try something new, like back trolling, to improve your results.

Back trolling, a technique that's often used for walleye fishing slows the boat down and gives you more control in windy weather and around drop offs. This will allow you to follow the contours of the lake with more accuracy.

5. Vary your technique.

Some people always fish with the same method because that's all they've ever done. However, I've found that if a technique such as casting into weed beds for instance, isn't working, it's sometimes an advantage to try trolling or even bobber fishing for a while. Also, try changing out that favorite lure for something new and (maybe more) tempting. Don't get stuck doing the same thing over and over. You never know what will encourage the fickle Pike into striking at your bait!
