Pike are certainly one of the most interesting fish in Europe. They are fearsome-looking creatures with sharp teeth, long tapering bodies, and wide mouths. However, they also have stunning colourations across their bodies and they grow to preposterous sizes. All these features combined make the Pike a very compelling fish to catch, hence why they are so popular among anglers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to catch Pike is using a lure. This can be anything from a rubber frog to a plastic fish. The idea with lure fishing is to emulate a bait fish in order to trick the Pike into biting the hook.<\/strong> You can then set the hook and reel the fish in. However, for this technique to work effectively, the water needs to be quite clear and the Pike have to be actively feeding. You can also use dead baits for Pike fishing but this style of fishing is much less active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think while a lot of people are aware of Pike, they are perhaps a little intimidated by the thought of catching one. This may be due to their looks, teeth, feeding patterns, & styles, but truthfully, Pike really aren’t that difficult to catch. There are some precautions and considerations you need to take when handling a large predatory fish but otherwise, it’s relatively straightforward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
