The northern pike (known as the pike in Britain, sometimes known as jack / jackfish in Canada), Esox lucius, is a species of carnivorous fish of the genus Esox (the pikes). They are typical of brackish and freshwaters of the northern hemisphere (i.e. holarctic in distribution).Being carnivorous means that they eat other fishes.
Animals that eat pike include birds of prey like eagles and osprey, as well as other large fish such as northern pike, muskellunge, and large bass. Mammals like otters and minks are also known to prey on pike.
In the United States, Minnesota is one of the most popular places to fish for Pike. Since there are many different types of Pike, there are some areas that are going to be better for Northern Pike (mostly found in the Great Lakes) and others that will be better for Muskellunge (Canada, Great Lakes, Ohio rivers}
pike are always aggressive. but on hot sunny days are good for 10-30 feet deep pike. i use daredevil spoons. my favorite is the 5 diamond daredevil spoon. small pike like 1-3 pounds will go on weed lines. the 5-10 pound pike goes on drop offs or sand bars that drop rapidly. but the big 12-30 pound pike on the deepest part of drop offs or the outer edge of bays or with muskie but they will often be where the walleye are. its one off their favorite baits. fish also in deep water where points or drop offs are. do not say "their are no fish here". pike don't stay in one spot. they swim around. soon a big hungry pike will swim by and see your lure.
