This Pike Walleye was exactly like they said it was. You won’t regret it. Pike Walleye is awesome.
When is it too cold to try to fish?
I live in NE Ohio, and I'm new to lake fishing (for bass, pike, walleye, trout). It's been cold, but not freezing Pike Walleye yet. Most people I mention it to say I'm wasting my time trying to catch something this time of the year. But people in some places ice-fish, and I've heard about people heading up to Canada to catch Northern Pike. Am I wasting my time, or are there some fish active even when it's cold?

North American pikes (northerns) get too large for most home aquariums. And they will eat your other fish when they get large enough. Even walleyes can get large enough to down your smaller fish.Northerns and pikes are the same animal. They are the only pike species native to North America.Other NA pike family fish include the muskie and pickerels. The muskie is definitely too large. Of the pickerels, the chain pickerel would probably be more suitable, but it, along with all members of the pike family, is highly aggressive. With the teeth these fishes have, your other fish would not live long.

Personally, it’s the trophy walleye. I rarely go for pike and when I do catch them it’s usually on accident. There have been many trophy pike that have broken records but rarely is a walleye caught that large enough to be the biggest ever. I don’t know I guess it’s just my opinion. There’s nothing better than catching a 10+ pound walleye on 6-8 pound test and fighting it til’ the end. Good luck fishin’!

the NUMBER ONE lure for bass is a 6″ plastic worm. some may actually run from 3″ to 8″ but more are gotten on the 6″ models than ANY other lure ever made.number one for either pike or walleye??? no idea nor do l care overmuch. we have none of these in so cal so l have no opportunities to pursue these fine gamefish. but if l did, l would use topwaters for pike and live bait such as minnows or leeches on a jig head for ‘eyes.

I guess the most important Q is- Are you on a budget? In my honest opinion, you need to spend (at least) $120 on a decent fishing outfit. (You could spend less but the quality goes out the window!) And that $100-$120 mark is relatively cheap compared to most GOOD combo prices! Anyway, here are some suggestions:Reels1. Pflueger, President 6735 – This is the current “best bang for your buck” reel you can purchase.

I gotta admit, Walleye is much easier to clean. But you do make a point about Pike!I find Pike has just as good a flavor as Walleye. I haven’t scheduled our Father/Son fishing trip yet. (We go on a F/S fishing trip every year.)In the last couple years we’ve been going to the Gunflint, (on the border of Canada). Last year I took my bigger boat, but this year I’m bringin’ the flat-back canoe, (more access to lakes in the area). Here’s where we stay- http://www.gunflintpines.com/camp_cabins.shtmlWe get a “Camping Cabin”. It’s cheaper than a regular cabin, (by quite a bit), and is “almost” as comfortable. These particular Camping Cabins have electricity, (which can power a hot-plate, portable cooler/fridge, a small heater, CHARGE BOAT BATTERY’S, Etc), bunk beds, a cabinet, nice front deck with picnic table and your own personal drinking water source. (There are communal bathrooms for shower within walking distance).I can’t tell you enough how GREAT this area is for Smallmouth, Walleye, and Pike! We average 20-30 fish PER PERSON every day.It’s not uncommon to have 80-100 fish for every boat/canoe! And talk about “wildlife” and scenery! We ALWAYS see at least 3 Moose, MANY deer, and 1 or 2 bear while we are there. It’s just a GREAT experience!I just can’t WAIT!!!!!! Is it only 5 months away? (growl!!!!) (lol) And 4-5 days usually only costs $400 – $500!(growl!) (lol)

Oh contraire! oh heavy tackle one! You can use 6 lb. test line to catch just about any fish. In fact, most people overdo the line test thing. Your best friend is your reel’s drag. Set properly, you will be able to land much bigger fish than you realize.Ok, for reels, I’d recommend an open face Shimano. They are reasonably priced, are my very favorite and I own several. Resist the urge to get the biggest you can find. You will have way more fun with smaller gear and lighter action rods. Visit Cabela’s website to check on the rod/reel combos or just reels if that’s what you want. And check out the ratings from other anglers. I have found this to be a very valuable tool when deciding what I want to buy. Good luck and have fun!P.S. (go light).

I am not familiar with Lake Nippising but I have fished in Canada numerous times. Here is what I’ve found- Most Border and Canadian Lakes can be easily fished with only a handful of various bait’s and lures. Bait’s?- Leeches and Shiners will be your best bait for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, medium-sized Northern Pike. If you are dead-set on catching trophy Pike with bait an 8-12″ Sucker would be your best bait. Lures?- Jigs are probably the cheapest and most productive lure. 1/4-3/8 OZ being the best weight’s and Black & Chartreuse being the better colors. Berkley Gulp Leeches and 4″ Curly-tailed Grubs are good trailers for your jigs. Jigs are also perfect tipped with a live minnow or leech. Spoons can be fantastic for Northern Pike/Musky. Rapala’s can be productive in the shallower sections of any Canadian lake. Any Rapala that resembles Cisco’s, Shiners, or Shad can be deadly if trolled behind the boat. It’s important to use Fluorocarbon leaders or a low diameter Braided line in some clear Canadian lakes because of the amazing clarity of the water. I’ve used Fireline 4/10 “smoke-colored” braid and Power Pro 3/8 braid with very good results. “Dog -walked” Topwater lures can be esp deadly on Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike. Try to find “current” or a stream flowing into your lake. This will increase your odds of catching fish. Remember, it’s not unusual to catch 50-100 fish in one day in Canada! Hope this info helped ya? Good fishing.

Usually you’ll get the monitor, and attached to it you’ll have one power cord, and one sonar cord that hangs over the side of the boat. I like to attach it somehow so that it’s not damaged while moving. They do bounce sonar to the bottom and back up.They work pretty well. There might be different kinds, the one I used was digital, but I’ve seen scrollers that show the bottom and fish with a rolled paper.I’m going to the St. Lawrence next week and going for pike and walleye myself. I hope we both have luck, but like they say, a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
