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.
There are many similarities in the animal kingdom. When watching animal programs you can see these similarities, and the differences if pay attention. Wolves and lions are similar in many ways, but there is one thing that separates them in particular.
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.
What can we learn from this? Well, a couple of things actually. First of all we learn that we should usually fish close to a likely hiding place. These places are always good pike spots, and should be identified as soon as you approach the water.
Secondly, we learn that the pike often is close to the bottom. This is because there is more places to hide there. This is where we want to fish for pike.
What should we use as a bait to catch a pike then? The best option would probably be a wobbler. It has everything that a pike looks for and it resembles not only a fish, it resembles an injured fish. An injured fish is always an easier target for the pike and will be much more effective. Another option is live bait.
