Northern Canadian Pike are reputed to be among the wiliest fish around the planet. These fish sure know where to cover and ways to fight. Where and how does one find them across the fishing season? If you wait till the water is good and cold, like may well happen in latter fall season or in the early spring you may have great luck with the Pike of the seas.
The Pike can best be found around rock structures. You may well attempt to catch a jerkbait during these cold water spring or late fall time fishing expeditions. The jerkbaits are not snagless, but you can throw a tough jerk, if there are just a couple of feet of water ott of those deep weeds. If you have to retrieve a tough jerkbait, attempt to do so as close to structure as feasible.
Wind the lure down and jerk it 3 or so times and pause. Sometimes the less warm the water gets the longer you should wait. Nick the tops of the weeds, scrape the rocks and tick the logs and stumps. Pike sometimes strike when the when the lure postpones, rises slowly or starts its next series of jerks.
If your fishing trip takes you in the mid summer time periods you will soon find the Northern Pikes go deep and deeper. Troll hard jerkbaits around rocky main lake points and over the tops of mid lake humps. You may try rigging a giant soft nine in. Shad on a stout five offset hook without any other additional weight. Pop, twitch and pause your lures ceaselessly to imitate a baitfish that is more than in difficulty and indeed could be in its death throes. Along weed edges swim the attraction thru the grass deflecting it off any stalks that you can feel.
