∙ 13y agoUsually northern pike don't get along very well, the bigger one are very territorial and the small ones aren't as aggressive than the big ones. The bigger ones are 4 1/2 pounds and up. The only time they do get along if there is a big pack of minnows swimming by, or if there is a rocky point with some walleyes.When fishing for them, they hide in between docks or under old or big trees, but the bigger ones like to stay around 50 feet apart. They do that because most lakes are packed with perch and bluegill. They like to ambush them. The pike don't want to run into each other going for the same fish. The smaller ones feed on small minnows, so there is more of them. That is when the little ones don't care a lot about how far they are away. They are usually 10-15 feet away usually.
