knightfisher Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hey all, just wondering how many here target pike. 90 % of my fishing is hunting down these toothie critters. I do enjoy fishing for carp, cats, eyes and bass etc, but pike and musky are my target fish. When you hook into one, you know you usually have a fish 20 inches or more at the end of the line. The fight is usually intense during the initial hookup. Tony and Bubba14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-turd Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 I target them a lot, love fishing for them, got a few trays worth of lures dedicated to chasing em down, and don’t get me started on their topwater strikes….anyone else see them shoot out of the water like a cruise missle when striking your topwater? Best thing ever Cabanaboy, knightfisher and Bubba14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightfisher Posted May 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Quite the thrill when a pike grabs a top water for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Real nice pike Radio ! Is that a local place or north of T.O ? Trolling or casting with lures ? It's nice to know what baits are attracting the big ones . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Thanks guys! North of T. O. I was throwing an 8 in paddle tail swim bait with a weighted hook. First time throwing it. Randomly threw it onto a beachy area and it bit on the drop off. Fish weren't on the lumber nor back bays... temps were 55 to 64... lucky catch it felt like! smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
