It is difficult to provide accurate Bass Pike information, but we have gone through the rigor of putting together as much Bass Pike related information as possible.
What is best reel for bass/pike fishing in Canada?
I'm going to canada to go fishing for the first time this summer. I'm Bass Pike exctited but I've never really gone fishing for anything over 6lbs. What are some reels that I should look at and what are some of the mechanical characteristics that I should be looking for in the reel to handle a fish that is 7 to 15lbs.

I’ve caught plenty of pike/pickerel/bass using sunfish and perch for bait…but they need to be small one and alive…bass and pike aren’t big on cut bait (cut up pieces of fish) like salt water fish are…
December 13th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
If you are fishing a stream/river, catch some creek chubs or whatever baitfish swims there on some light tackle and hook it up on your main rig. That’s hard to beat. If conditions are right for topwater (which you can almost always make topwater work).. here is a deadly tip. Take a popper style lure, remove the rear treble, attach about 5 or 6 inche leader with a hook appropriate for a minnow. This way you can get their attention with the top water commotion, and as you pause… AHAA! a nice plump minnow. Honestly, it’s a killer combo lure.
December 14th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Gunner, top waters are a good selection. I’ve never pike fished but most of the lures are just bigger versions of bass lures. Buy some 1/2 ounce rattle traps and the bigger number 4 or 5 Mepps In-line spinners. These are easy lures to use, just chunk and reel. They will run below the surface. Depending on fish activity, depends on where you will find the bite. In morning and evening would be the best times to use your top waters. As the day progresses, that is the time to use crankbaits, in-line spinners, and spinnerbaits. I would recommend using bass jigs also. These are a little harder to fish unless you’ve logged some time on the water. I use them, small ones and I underhand pitch them into brush along the shorline in shallow water. Rapala makes a jointed minnow that is a good plug too. Bass like plastic baits also, but that could be intimidating unless you already knew how to rigg them. And there is not enough space here to do so properly. I’m just trying to get some baits in your hand that work with little or no knowledge. However, if one was so inclined to try anyway, the Berkley Power Worm is a bass favorite. Texas rigged with a worm weight and correct hook is favorable confidence bait for myself. In the end, when you are fishing in unknown waters with limited knowledge, you want cover the entire water column, from top to bottom. This is how to problem shoot where they are. Ask yourself questions. Are they near brush? What depth was that? Was that a slow or fast retrieve? When you catch a fish, think what you did and imitate it everytime. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Ive fished that lake also I was born and raised near flint.Ive never fished that lake at night but used to fish houghton lake at night quite often for pike and always had good luck with a large double blade spinner bait.Keep your retrieve just fast enough to keep the bait churning the surface.
December 15th, 2010 at 6:53 am
It’s a good lure and attracts a lot of fish. Like most top water poppers, wait until you feel the weight of the fish (or a couple seconds) before setting the hook… and the use of a trailer hook will help you catch more fish. Tight lines!
December 15th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
The technic uses spun deer or elk hair for a body. Usually a strip of leather or chamois is used for the tail. If you are new to spinning get some Kevlar thread.Here’s a good link that walks you through the process:http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/intermediate/part44.php

If a Pike is big enough it will attack anything it wants! Last summer my kids (and their cousins) were swimming in a lake and were attacked by a POed Pike. He was only 34″ or so, (I later caught him on a Rapala suspending Husky Jerk Minnow.) Having fished for “Cuda on the Flats of the Keys and elsewhere I understand why they call Pike the “cuda of the North”. I’m not sure if a 10LB Pike would “eat” a 4LB Bass but it would certainly attack one!(Thumbs to Donald)

It is impossible for largemouth bass and northern pike to interbreed.Animals can not interbreed even if they belong to the same family. For example, bluegill, crappie and largemouth all belong to the same family and there are no hybrids between any of them. Human and gorilla belong to the same family and the differences are very obvious. Largemouth bass and northern pike don’t even belong to the same family.Only creatures with same genus can interbreed. (Cole said exactly that and he is absolutely correct) Horse and donkey can interbreed. Smallmouth bass and largemouth bass can interbreed. Largemouth bass and striped bass can not interbreed but white bass and striped bass can. Northern pike and muskie (muskellunge) can interbreed to produce tiger muskie. Northern pike and walleye can not interbreed because they are too different. Northern pike belong to a small genus and they don’t have many living close relatives they could interbreed with; almost all of their close relatives were fossils.It would still be fun and very interesting to see a computer generated pic of northern pike and largemouth bass hybrid though.
PS: The term “BIKE” was very funny. LOL

For bass, if it’s the middle of the day and sunny use rubber worms or a pig and jig on the bottom and around heavy cover. If it’s cloudy use crankbaits.Pike tend to strike out of instinct at anything flashy. It’s usually best to use large spoons for them.

hello, i am across the big lake from you here in Grand Rapids michigan, and yes the hot weather is affecting the pike fishing majorly. Today and tomorrow it is supposed to be around 95 degrees. Right now the inland lakes are really warming up. My home lake is getting around the mid 80s for a water temp! During the summer, as the water warms up, a layer is created between the warm water and the cold water. The warm water is less dense and holds more oxygen. The cold watre cant cirrculate since the warm water is always on top. The thermocline is where the pike and some bass are hanging out right now. You need a deep diving crankbait (about 6-8 inch jointed one for pike and a smaller one for bass) or a dark colored spinnerbait with dark blades. Cast these spinnerbaits and crankbaits out deep. Another good lure to fish the thermocline is a swimbait. You’ll need a larger one for the pike and smaller ones for bass.here is a link i found to explain the thermocline if i didnt explain it good enough for ya…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoclinehope i helped! good luck!
December 18th, 2010 at 7:38 am
Walleye for sure. In northern minnesota every pothole and creek as well as most every lake has northern pike that jump on your hook just to look at it it seemes. Especially the smaller ones. Walleye are fairly common but not as easy to catch.
December 18th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
you got a nice selection there for bass and a couple lures for pike.things for bass i would add to your collection are…senkos (any color works great)yum buzzfrogs (watermelons, pumpkin colors)spinnerbaits (orange/green, junebug, black, chartruese, red)for pike i would add…wild eye baby pike6-8 inch jointed rapala (firetiger, perch, pike colors work great)
December 19th, 2010 at 7:45 am
I like Braided line and i use the highest recommended for your rod. I use 15 pound test on my Abu Garcia baitcaster.
December 19th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
I don’t do any Pike fishing but I see that the most popular lure seems to be the red & white Dare-Devil!For bass it’s the 6″ plastic worm.
December 20th, 2010 at 7:07 am
This is largely a matter of opinion. However, I would say that the best flies for these fish in my opinion would be. . .Bream: Adams dry fly, ant imitations, any small generic nymphs.Bass: If you are talking about largemouth bass, probably wooley buggers or poppers (deer hair or foam). If you are talking about smallmouth bass, probably the same stuff, Clouser minnows, or crayfish imitations. Trout: it varies from stream to stream, species to species, and depending on the time of year. Wooley buggers will usually work along with general insect imitations such as Adam’s dry fly, hares ear nymph etc. As with all species you should try to match your fly with whatever prey items are most available in your area particularly those that fish seem to be eating more than others. I haven’t really fished for salmon or pike, but I would say find a general imitation that represents whatever food source is common in your area that each species seems to eat more of. Basically, starting out fishing for a species that you are not familiar with try to stay pretty general in your fly selection, don’t overthink it, and check out local fishing reports to see what works well in your area.Hope this helps.

When the water goes dark you need to go goofy. Chartreuse, purple, orange and green all produce. My favorite for this situation is a Rapala shad rap in chartreuse or any other bright color. I just caught a pig of a bass in a murky little lake in the suburbs outside detroit using that lure, crank it, then wait and repeat until you get your hit. Sweep all the structure too, theyll probably be held up in the weeds and so forth. Good luck and Tight lines

OK preggers try this. Didn’t bother my wife, In a heavy pan (cast iron if you have it) melt a tsp butter & some olive oil. enough to just cover the bottom. Slice an onion about 1 inch thick & seperate the rings. Arrange the rings in a layer in the bottom of the pan with a layer of fish on top of the rings. Cover tightly and cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes depending on how thick your fillets are. The fish actually steams in its own moisture & the vapor from the onion. Salt & pepper to taste -yummy. I use this for Bass but I see no reason it wouldn’t work for Pike also
December 21st, 2010 at 7:00 pm
1st. Check some of my “starred question’s”. There has been many discussion’s on night-fishing recently.2nd. What type of lures or bait are you using? 3rd. At first “dark”,(when it finally get’s completely “dark”), fish usually need 1-2 hours to change over into “night-hunting” mode. In “jet-black” darkness they rely heavily on there sense of smell and “lateral line”,(kinda like our “ear’s). It takes them a while to adjust to “the night”. IMHO, go fishing right before “dark”. After it get’s “jet black”, leave and come back later, (1-2 hours). OR start your nightfishing around 11:30-12 and fish til 6 am. Your “peak” hours will be 3:30 and 5:30 am. Best lures for night-fishing Bass, Northern’s,Crappie: #1 Spinnerbait’s in 1/8-1/4 sizes. Gold (darker colored) Colorado/indiana blades and “darker” skirt’s & trailer’s. “Slow-rolling”.#2 Swimming/Ribbon-tailed worms in darker color’s. “Slow swimming”.#3 Floating Rapala’s in darker color’s. “Slow swimming”. It’s important to note that repeated cast’s to the same structure/area helps. And a “slow, constant” retrieve helps too!Hope this info helps ya? Go see my “Starred Q” for further info! Good luck!
