How to catch a pike at different times of the year?

In early March, you need to be fully equipped to catch pike. Immediately after the descent of ice, it is perfectly caught on spinning, especially when the water has not yet risen.

Where and how to catch pike in the spring

In the spring time, the water has not warmed up sufficiently, so the whole small fish (the main food of the pike) keeps on the rocks near the reeds or last year's algae. The pike starts spawning in the spring, and in front of it it feeds heavily and tries to stay where flocks of podleschika, roach and ruddles gather.

For an ambush, the pike uses those places in reservoirs where there are gaps. So, in spring the most promising place for catching is the border between algae and clean water. And if you manage to find such a place, then you can not pass by it, especially if there is a "walking" mank.

At the pike, spawning begins immediately after the ice converges. Of course, that in all water bodies this happens in different ways, which means that spawning takes place at different times (depending on the water body).

After spawning the pike starts "zhor", it rushes everything. How to catch pike at this time? Unfortunately, the situation when the pike swallows everything that passes it, lasts not for long (about three weeks).

At this time, the predator bites the entire light day. Particular care must be taken to protect the coastal zone, where there is underwater vegetation. For bait, the best bait will do, pick it up, depending on the depth at which you are going to catch.

If it's less than a meter, then it's better to use a light trolley. Wiring should be done closer to the surface, the bait should move sharply, swiftly. Most often the pike attacks in the first seconds after diving the spoon-bait in the water, so you need to be always ready to make a timely and sharp sweep.

Where and how to catch pike in summer

The activity of the pike depends on the temperature of the water in the pond. In summer, the pike does not differ in activity to various baits, its habitats at this time are clearly marked. It goes to the bottom of the reservoirs (closer to underground sources and places where other fish accumulate, mostly these are cool currents).

In addition, the pike likes to be in shaded and turbid water, which gets worse. And another favorite place for fish in the summer is the floods with small vegetation or clams. There, too, the water remains cool enough.

How to catch a pike in the summer? For summer, surface wobblers, twisters or spinning spoons are most suitable . If you use a twister, it's best that it is light green or white with shiny patches. Its length should not be more than 8 cm.

For summer pike fishing on twister, ultralight spinning, equipped with superfast rod , perfectly suits. To keep the wiring afloat, use a jig head in the form of skis or petals.

If you catch on wobbler, then it should be dark with golden sides and cross strips. For catching with a wobbler, the coil spinning is better suited, with its help the broach is made without hooks on the mud. If the reservoir is heavily overgrown, the preference should be given to a black or yellow vibrotail.

Where and how to catch pike in autumn

It is in the autumn time you can catch the largest specimens of this predator. The autumn "zhor" begins in the pike, it is actively preparing for the winter. In addition, during this period there is a significant accumulation of predators in certain places.

In autumn there is practically no vegetation in the reservoirs, so the pike has to go out hunting for open surfaces. She likes to ambush in pits, in ditches, under driftwood and so on. The depth of the catch will not be more than 1.5-2 meters.

How to catch a pike in the autumn time? In autumn the temperature of the water drops, and the movement of the pike becomes slower. Small prey it does not attract, so the bait should be bright and large. These can be vibro-tailed or large specimens of oscillating wobblers.

Pay special attention to the strength of the tackle. In addition, she must send heavy lures into the water . This means that the spinning test should be 30-50 grams, and its system - fast enough. The coil needs to be inertia-free, it must be well balanced with spinning. By observing these conditions, you will be able to make exact casts, and this is the main condition for pike fishing.
