Okay, what about the whole fisherman's myth about how after 12-1 in the afternoon, pike just stop biting all together? Basically nice the water gets too warm. Dad and I went early and were on the lake about 8, and between the two of us on a rather hot, smokey morning, we caught 4 little pike each. Just fishing off shore, dragging lures from shallow to deep.
What is your suggestion for FALL pike? Its September here In Saskatchewan and its still pretty warm, but cools off once it gets dark. Dad and I had good fun on a new lake, we headed to the shady side, found the dropoff depth and he let the good old 5 of diamonds fly! He caught 4 and I caught 3 on my favourite chartruce and blue sparkle soft plastic swimbait minnows. Dad got the numbers but I got the bigger ones. 😁
