Trying to learn about pike fishing
Message:
Researching different lakes in the state for good pike fishing. Fished Bantam, but in a bass tourney and was looking for any help as to what lakes are good for pike and how to locate them. Really don't know anything about this type of fishing but would love to learn a thing or two. What size wire leader to use? Any insight on pike fishing would be greatly appreciated. Normally fish by myself on my G3 bassboat, but if anybody is willing to take the time out of there day to show me how it's done, I would be happy to have a fishing partner.

I use a 6-8 inch leader 15 lb test same as my line ...they seem to like perch pickeral patterns ...And for me ive noticed they tend to strike more on the pause or sharp turn of the lure ...they allso seem to wait till last second to strike when nearing the boat.

The bigger the better. I use the same, 6ish inch leader or wire but i only use wire when ice fishing. The leader i have now is a coated wire i think. Its more flexible and not that easy to see from a fishes eye. But i dont go pike fishing that often. Im mostly bass, trout, walleye, or panfishing. When i do get a pike its not like im searching for them its luck i think haha. Id just go to the river fishing section on here. Almost every post in there is about the ct river pike. Good luck!
