In Those Northern Canadian Pike Of Your Dreams
Many fisherman live and dream of reeling in that monster
North Canada Pike fish. An evil looking fish machine is
there ever was a fish to give you a great fight that you
will long remember. It is no small accident that the
Northern Pike which inhabit the northern portions of the
Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan
have earned their reputation. The Northern Pike are an
amazingly adaptable fierce predator fish that live and fight
the angler well in deep shallow waters of the Canadian
North.
It's no accident that Pike prosper in so many diverse
environments. Northern Pike live to exploit every
opportunity that crosses their wily paths. All depending on
the season that you fish, you can and will find Northern
Pike shallow and deep and just about anywhere in between in
the Lakes that you fish. |
It's no accident that the biggest Northern actually behave
in ways different than small pike. Your strategies to fish
these monsters of must vary depending on whether the avid
fisherman is looking for size, action or a combination of
both For example top water lures are a good example. There
is not much more exciting in the life of an avid fisherman
than to watch a Northern Pike grab and crush top water bait.
During the summer months the best time of day for catching
these monsters are early morning. Later in the afternoon and
during overcast conditions such as you find on the lake.
Note deep weed edges, woody shorelines and rocky lake
structures as perfect Northern Pike fishing locations and
locales. The biggest and most colorful ear splitting buzz
baits attract the most attention from these monster pike
fish. Best colors for these lures, according to experienced
and wily fishing guide Noel the Vamdal of the Lake of the
Manitoba Narrows regions are loud vibrant Chartreuse, white,
yellow and proud orange colours. Mr. Vamdal notes that in
his great experience at the narrows that adding a
trailer-hook with a 5 inch worm, twister tail or pork chunk
can make for the winning fish in an angling tournament.
Lastly he adds - the key is not to react to the explosion
when the Northern Pike wallows onto the lure. Keep your rod
pointed up during the retrieval process and reel into the
fish rather than dropping the tip and actually setting the
fishing hook.
Instead of throwing a big noisy buzz bait over a weed bed
though position your fishing boat so you can keep your lures
running in the prime Northern Pike zone. Do the same thing
when you are fishing in and amongst fallen trees and logs.
Pike are major ambush predators that hide along the fringes
of cover, for a quick dash, rather than burying themselves
deep inside the cover.
You can troll these lures as well as cast them, but do not
troll aimlessly and endlessly. Even though it's a good way
to use up a case of Millers. Concentrate of key transitions,
edges; drop off, break-lines and specific bottom contours.
Lucky Craft LV and LVR models are awesome vibrating lipless
casting lures. When you pause them even for a millisecond, a
following pike has only two options - either go for the bait
by opening up its mouth and eating or leaving the vibrant
bait alone. You guess the choice of that aggressive killer
Northern Pike fish.
|
These lures may look a tad on
the small size, but they always fish big. Part of the reason
is that you can retrieve them quickly in a flash. As well
they will not roll over and blow out.
Lastly weedless spoons like the Silver Minnow excel in and
around cover. This occurs especially in the mid summer
periods, while the traditional style spoons produce best in
main lake area especially around rocky structures from early
summer until late fall.
In the end the avid fisherman
and angler will always remember and relish that strike from
the giant Northern.
