How do you catch pike in fall?

Answer 1

Northern pike eat almost anything! In the spring they will be in pretty shallow and looking for slow moving baits, so get a sucker minnow, kill it, and cast in about 3-7 feet of water. I catch 5 pound northern with that. In summer they move out deep to around 5-14 ft deep and that is a good time to use maybe a herring, or sucker minnow with a slip bobber and put the bait right above the weeds. I catch northern about 4-8 pounds doing that. In fall they like to stay in shallow like 1-4 ft deep, and the smaller ones move out deep to around 5-7 feet deep. I have only caught one northern in fall, but it was 40 inches and it was in 1 1/2 feet of water. I was bass fishing with a Texas rigged worm and dragging it over the top and it jumped for it and missed, and I casted near the big splash and I got it hooked and it took a run for about 1/2 feet of water. It was a really shallow cove. Use big baits around 4-8 inches in fall, and move them slow or fast. In winter use like a full hot dog or full brat and hook it weedless and and find a rocky point or a weedy are, and the weeds have to be green. Let it drop down and just wait for a really long time. If you want to make your arm tired and then get a BIG one to bite and have a fight of a winter lifetime, then use a red and white spoon. Jig it up and down and if you have a camera, when you see the pike and it isn't biting then make it faster, but smaller flutters. DON'T stop the spoon. You don't want the fish to see the hooks and swim away, the just stinks. Hope this was helpful!
Pike generally inhabit weed edges are drawn to live bait like minnows or lures like crankbaits or jerkbaits.

Answer 2

Young 'Jack' pike up to about 12 lbs (5.4kg) in weight are fast and agile and able to take live prey fish with ease. However, bigger pike (all females) have more bulk to propel and will often turn to scavenging. They take dead, dying or diseased fish and so fulfil a vital role in maintaining a healthy fishery. So for catching pike best bait is dead bait, live bait, spinning lures.

Answer 3

Go to the river and put on bait fish and cast boost and cast 70+ feet out and you will get a huge pike always.

Answer 4

Spinner baits, live baits, topwater chugging baits.
