The Most Successful Way of Catching Northern Pike

What is the best method to catch northern pike?

If you are going to fish for northern pike it is best to do it during the winter months. For this reason this type of fishing is often referred to as fish fishing. The winter is the best time of the year to catch northern pike, as the surface will be frozen. This encourages the fish to come to the surface to feed when the sun is out. The northern pike is one of the most popular species for fishermen to go out looking for during the winter months. This is a popular fish for anglers as they are good for everything including mounting and eating, and they can also be a bit of a challenge to catch. They can be a bit of a challenge to catch as they have been known to put up a fight when they are being caught. For fishermen that are starting out in the world of northern pike fishing it is a good idea to start in the winter months. The fish are rather sluggish and inactive during the winter months so they will bite almost anything that is within easy reach for them. During the winter months they do not want to put effort into moving around so will just wait for food to float past them and then catch it. Some of the most common methods of northern pike fishing are jigging and tip off. The jigging method of northern pike fishing is when artificial bait that resembles live fish food is used in order to encourage the fish to bite. A lot of the jigs that are used are brightly colored and they imitate the way that the live bait would actually move and the way that it would normally behave in the water. Some of the jigs are even scented so that they smell like fish, such as walleye. The method of northern pike fishing that is very popular is tipping off. This method of northern pike fishing is when the anglers raise a flag from a special device that alerts other anglers to the fact that the fish are biting at that particular point. With this type of fishing there is no need for reels. The fish are simply bought in by hand. This method of fishing is great for the smaller fish; however it is not very good for the larger fish. This method should not be carried out on the larger fish, as it can be very dangerous and may result in the loss of fingers or even a hand.
