In this article I will discuss the most common and used pike fishing techniques and their pike fishing lures. If you are new and interested in this highly recommended fishery, pick one or two techniques and learn and observe as much as possible to become a successful pike fisherman.

Pike Spoons/ Crankbaits/ Wobblers

The traditional northern pike lures are pike spoons and different pike crankbaits or wobblers. Many are still using these and catch many fish with them. They move in different depths from the surface to 15 - 20 feet deep and move straight forward with a wobbly and lively movements like a sick or weakened fish. Pike spoons have to be more or less constantly retrieved if the water is shallow, but are most effective when retrieved slowly.

Crankbaits or wobblers are imitations of fish that are made of wood or plastic. They have a small plate mounted under the head at an angle of approximately 40 degrees which will press these pike lures down when pulled forward.

The movements are very similar to a fresh fish with some wobbly movements. Jointed wobblers have much more lively movements.

Pikes are fond of these types of lures and especially big silver pike fishing spoons (i.e. Abu`s Toby) and jointed red and white wobblers (Abu`s HILO).

Pike Swimbaits

Pike swimbaits are lures made of soft plastics and come in a large variety of shapes. They are mainly imitations of fish, frogs, snakes and other undefined shapes. The main purpose of swimbaits is to create extremely lively movements which trigger predators to attack. The most effective way to fish with these are to reel them in with a jerking motion. These movements are similar to dying or injured fish, frogs or other living water creatures, and this pattern of movement is extremely effective at triggering attacks from all predators since this represents the easiest prey to catch. When pike see these lures they often attack them from longer distances than other pike fishing lures that are similar to more healthy prey.

Pike Jerkbaits

Pike jerkbaits are very popular among pike fishing enthusiasts because they are very effective for catching pike too. These pike fishing lures are made to look like a fish and must be reeled in with jerks and snaps. This is done by nibbing with the rod tip pointing up. Different types of jerkbaits are made for fishing in different depths of water. Jerkbaits are made to represent dying fish or a weakened fish trying to escape.

Pike Top Water Lures

Fishing with pike lures that are moving on or just under the surface of the water is exciting. Pike that are in relatively shallow areas are always aware of whats going on on the surface as prey in these areas are often very easy to catch, and predators are always looking for the easiest way to fill their stomachs. Because of this, different kinds of pike poppers, jerkbaits or other top water lures are great choices for surface fishing.

It is a fact that pike eat large amounts of ducklings or frogs each year, so the combination of small birds, frogs, small mammals and dying or injured fish on the water's surface triggers ambushes from these predators. Today's top water lures are developed to imitate this group of prey both in looks and in movement. Another fun and exciting aspect of this kind of fishing is that a reaction from a pike is very visible. Often you will feel a powerful pull on the line combined with a huge splash that tears you out of your quiet relaxing state and the adrenaline rushes instantly into your veins. Personally, this is my favourite way to fish. Large buzzbaits or Spook are excellent top water lures for pike.

Northern Fly Fishing

Fly fishing for pike has become very popular and pike seem to like both poppers and large colorful and flashy flies. This type of fishing can be done from spring to autumn in relatively shallow areas. Northern flies are very effective during the spring when the water is cold and the pike are slow. Pike flies can easily be presented slowly to trigger attacks from pike. When the water is warmer and the pike hide in the weeds, it is time to use poppers.

Poppers are "flies" with a bit of floating material which will dive under the surface when you pull the line. When stopped, the popper will pop up and make waves and lively movements. This is irresistible to pikes and an ambush will soon be under way when a pike spots the popper. Haggerty lures has numerous northern flies for sale and I recommend purchasing several of those if you are new to northern fly fishing.

Pike Dead Baiting

Pike dead baiting is increasing in popularity and this type of fishing has been developed and greatly improved over the last few years. With this type of fishing, you arrange a dead bait rig and then throw at an angle into hot spots. There are many ways to arrange the pike bait so that it is presented to the pike in the depths or position where you want it. When fishing in this way you can have lots of additional equipment such as fishing bite indicators, a telescopic landing net, rod stands, keep nets, and many other things to improve and take care of the catch.

Good treatment of the caught fish is a high priority among these sport fishermen. A dead bait-fish is a very good way of catching pikes since this is an easy meal for a pike and most pike will not hesitate to grab it when they spot dead bait in their hunting wanderings. Many anglers puncture the dead bait so the smell of it alone will attract some pike which could be stationary nearby, since a pike has a well developed sense of smell.

Pike Spinners/ Spinnerbaits

Pike spinners come in many varieties and have been well-developed. Ordinary spinners consist of an oblong body, hooks and a rotating blade on the top. Spinners function well for small pike but pike spinners with some colorful feathers at the hooks that are retrieved slowly are more popular among pike. Mepps (black and yellow) or Abu reflex are extremely good pike spinners.

Spinnerbaits developed from ordinary spinners and are very effective in weedy waters or water that has a lot of snags. They consist of a 90 degree bent wire with rotating blades at one end and a big flashy and colorful skirt of hair or feathers with trebble hooks inside it on the other end. Llungen lures and Blue fox make very good spinnerbaits for pike and these are a good choice.

Spinners imitate prey fish and attract pike by sending visual impressions and vibrating signals to the pike since they are sensitive to all kind of vibrations in the water. These northern pike lures are often used by new and young sport fishermen and are a good choice because they usually attract several types of predator fish as perch, pike, bass and walleye.

Pike Ice Fishing

In the wintertime all fish eat very little and their metabolism is slow. They do not grow at all and therefore their appetite is very poor but they do eat sometimes and anglers usually catch them with dead bait or many kinds of pike jigs.

Ice fishing can be a test of patience and often you don't see many fish under the ice , but it can be very rewarding as well. I recall when we were kids we axed large holes in the ice in shallow areas and we laid on isolating plates with covers over the head. This way we could see everything down there, and it was amazing. We saw lots of different fish pass by, some sniffing the bait but moving on, while some took the bait. We often saw large pike sniffing and studying our pike fishing lures before they moved on, but we caught some of those too.

I highly recommend this as this is another exiting aspect to type of fishing. Pike ice fishing jigs are a good choice and swimming jigs are most effective in my opinion. I recommend jigging rapala or jigging shad rap. Jigging spoons are also good. Bomber or Dick Nite make great pike lures.

Fishing lures are items that are similar to baits to which fish get attracted. Conventionally, live worms or such other small, living animals were used for the same purpose. But later even artificial fishing lures were used. Artificial baits could be reused each time. These antique fishing lures have become popular have become popular collectible items over the years.

The oldest lure manufacturing company was established in 1860s.  The first commercially made lures were available in Michigan and Ohio. The companies that made these artificial fishing lures were Heddon, William Shakespeare Jr and Pflueger. They dominated the fishing lures market for above 40 years that is from 1900 to 1940. The earliest lures were prepared by the company at home. They prepared the later lures using carvings on wood with glass eyes which made the fishing lures very exquisite.

The antique fishing lures date back to the time. In 1898, the fishing lures were carved frog shaped lures attached to broom sticks. This simple kind of lure was successful in attracting fish to it. From there, began the idea of commercially prepared artificial lures.

The antique fishing lures are made out of wood or metal. These lures are painted with attractive colors to lure different kinds of fish. The antique fishing lures are classified based on the size, weight, material, color and many other more factors. These fishing lures could help catch any kinds of fish. Moreover the condition and the age of the lures were important for determining its value. For example, a ‘mint’ lure in a very good condition fetches far more than the one in an average condition.

Sometimes even the paint was considered as an important factor in deciding the value of lures. Metal lures also had a great commercial value. many collectors and buyers were even interested by the rare plastic lures as they had longer life and were comparatively cheaper.

The wooden lures were much popular than any other kinds of lures. These lures were made available for casual use from the 1800s. Wooden fishing lures dominated the market from 1915 to the 1950s.

Early 20th century fishing lures are available even today. Collecting fishing lures has become a hobby for many people. Antique fishing lures has also become a sort of collectible. Well decorated wooden boxes are also available for holding these artificial fishing lures. They are exquisitely decorated and have compartments for keeping the lures. Different collectors of the lures pay only a small amount of money to get hold of these boxes as well as lures.

The antique fishing lures are available on the Internet biddings, auctions as well as passed down as heirlooms. These lures are also available at antique stores. Some well preserved antique lures are hard to find but the dealers can fix them for interested buyers. A great deal of information can be found on these lures from the different dealers and shops.

Today antique fishing lures are available at reasonable costs. These lures are considered to be fortunes and people consider themselves lucky to get hold of one. As they are reasonable in cost many people are interested in buying them because of their value and rustic charm.

Plastic worms, grubs, and minnows

What you will need:

Liquid plastic

Rubber or hard plastic molds

A small pot (preferably one with a pouring spout )

Hot plate or stove top. Either one will work but a hot plate helps you make sure you keep it heated at the right temperature.

Softener or hardener if you want to experiment changing the consistency.

Coloring for plastic

First what you want to do is melt the plastic. Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area because of the fumes the plastic produces.

* Mix the plastic well before being used. When you pour it into the pan, make sure you do not fill it too full. This will make it harder to pour into the molds.

* Heat the hot plate or stove top to 350 degrees

* As it heats it will turn clear and thicken. Continue until it's about as consistent as syrup.

* Add your preferred color. Most colors are added to the hot plastic, but fluorescent colors are better when added before it's heated.

* Pour plastic into mold. Allow to cool in the molds for a couple minutes, then in cold water to finish.

Note: If you wish to add softener, you can add it to the melted plastic, but hardener should be added before heating.

That's it! Feel free to experiment with your own colors and styles. Starter kits can be purchased online easily and are not very expensive. Good luck with your new lures! It can get pretty addicting and you may not want to buy any from a store anymore!

These 2 shad fishing lures (or types of fishing lures) are the main two varieties when it comes to baits that mimic shad, and is what this article is about. The "perfect" shad imitation comes from one of these to varieties of fishing lures. The number one "perfect" fishing lure is probably impossible to determine, and depends on the angler and temperament of the bass themselves, but if there is one single "perfect" shad imitation it comes form these two fishing lure varieties.

Soft Plastics - Soft plastics, especially swim baits, are very effective shad fishing lures. Typically these baits are segmented soft plastic baits with a thumping tail. Normally Swimbaits are retrieved quite fast, and then stopped from time to time to allow the bait to sink into the strike zone. There are Swimbaits that imitate shad as well as other bait fish. On most waterways the shad imitating Swimbaits are the most effective. YUM brand soft plastic shad are an effective shad imitation for bass fishing as well. These soft plastics have been impregnated with scents that smell much like a live shad, which makes them more effective than traditional soft plastics.

Crank Baits - Crank baits have been imitating shad for many years. Some of the more popular and effective shad crank baits would include the Bagley G-force and the Rapala Shad Rap. These are both great shad imitations and are quite effective for bass fishing. Typically crank baits have a lip in the front to allow the bait to 'swim' to different depths when retrieved. When it comes to shad fishing lures another effective crank bait is the KickTail minnow. This shad imitation is sort of a hybrid between a swim bait and a crank bait. In any case many crankbaits are effective shad imitations.

The bottom line is that any serious bass angler needs to have effective shad lures in their tackle bag/box. The most effective bass baits that imitate our friend the shad will come from one of the two varieties of fishing lures listed above. These two bass lure varieties will produce your own personal 'perfect' shad imitation that hopefully will serve you well for many years to come.

Fishing - What to Wear

I have no sense of fashion, and rarely can match my clothing.  I usually choose clothing based on comfort. When selecting what clothing to wear on the river, comfort is key.  Here in the mountains, the weather changes quickly.  In winter months, cold weather is a constant.  Cold temperatures are found along the rivers or low spots across the land.  Temperatures at Teton Valley Lodge along the river can be -30, while Grand Targhee Ski Resort, fifteen miles up the mountain, will be 0 at the same time of day.  
 
Winter fishing can be fantastic, unless you choose the wrong clothing. For winter fishing you should wear the same things you might wear skiing or snowmobiling, plus a bit extra.  One key item is fleece fingerless gloves. You must wear fingerless gloves so you have control over your line.  Fingered gloves just don't work.  The fleece gloves retain heat even when wet and dry easily.  Another great piece of clothing is the boot foot wader by Simms.  This newly redesigned wader is warm and comfortable.  Regular stocking foot waders pale in comparison.  For winter fishing nothing beats the boot foot.
 
Summer clothing has advanced a lot over the past few years.  It wasn't too long ago that we always wore waders or hip boots in the summer.  There just wasn't the clothing available to fish comfortably any other way. Manufacturers like Patagonia, Simms and Cloudveil, have excellent choices for the summer angler.  For most of the summer season you are able to wet wade with quick dry pants and sandals.  There are two different types of shirts made specifically for fishing.  You can select standard button-up shirts in both long and short sleeves. These are quick dry like the pants and most offer an SPF factor.  The other type of shirt is a T-shirt style of lighter weight material than the conventional button-up.  Both are quick drying and cool in hot weather.

Flipping For Bass

The technique of pitching has largely replaced it in some quarters, but the flipping technique remains the same ultra precise, this is a deadly method of catching large bass in cover that Californians Dee Thomas and Dave Gliebe first brought East 30 years ago. This was a technique that revolutionized the sport. When the technique of flipping was introduced to the fishing world it was the most effective method ever. The fisherman learned that flipping was amazingly accurate procedure to get the big bass out of cover. It was such an outstanding weapon the fisherman from the west where the warriors in the early and mid 70s. Bass pro fisherman Roland Martin says flipping changed everything, suddenly we had a way to get a bait to big bass in some bad places.

The virtues of flipping have not changed. Bass fisherman fishing for the bigger bass always pays off when they are flipping for individual bass instead of schoolies. Individual fish are normally big fish. They'll hold on the most unusual piece of cover in the area. They stake out their own territory.

If you are going to be a serious bass fisherman, you will have to master the flipping technique, that's what the pros say. It remains a major part of bass fishing throughout the year.

The bass pros known the merits of flipping are well known. The bass pro fisherman known that technique is just isn't limited for spring and summer when bass are most likely to bury up in cover. Unless the water where you live freezes over in winter, there is an application for this close quarters fighting technique throughout the year.

Here's a look at where experienced flippers concentrate their efforts on flipping year around.

When flipping in the summer fishing main lake flip tight cover that tends to be a little bit better, especially after the spring rains where the water is still high. Also the bass pro says fishing vegetation, downed tree's and branches when the water is high after the spring rains. Many pros us the flipping technique on the thickest mats during the hottest times in the summer with a lake fork trophy tackle craw tube teamed with a 1 ounce tungsten weight and 80 pound test spiderwire braid.

During the dog days of summer the fish are in grass lines on points and main lake cover. Ounce your fishing into the fall, flipping into creek channels becomes more productive. Fishing the channels are the migration of baitfish holding on the channel, but there are always fish in channels but in late summer and early fall the channels play a huge role in finding the most productive fishing area.

Bass fishing in the fall the bass are going to be on thick grass and hydrilla and matted hyacinths. The pros are going to key on stuff, there going to be flipping on isolated patches of grass and hyacinths or hydrilla and even wood. Some of them expend most of there flipping in the backs of creeks throughout the fall.

When the pros are flipping in the winter they will fish shallow situations in muddy, highly fertile lakes, where the bass population doesn't live very deep, to surprisingly deep cover. Some of the pros will us a 1/8 to 3/16 ounce Berkley jig with a big power frog trailer to get a slow descent to entice sluggish coldwater fish.
