How to catch pike on lures - Autumn

In this video we take you on an Autumn pike lure fishing journey. As the water starts to cool down the fall transition can be an odd time of year.... sometimes the predators like pike, perch and Zander feed like crazy other times they really don't want to know. Working out exactly what they want is the name of the game and it took a while but we figured it out! catching some nice pike up to about 15lb 95cm mostly on tiny 3-4" baits as the pike were focusing on large balls of fry baitfish. We tried crank baits for a while but without any luck, and it was definitely a soft plastic swimsuit sort of day. Fry feeding pike. Westin lure fishing. How to lure fish for pike. How to catch pike.

Damn Thom, what a great video, I loved the first fight, since you where using a spinning set up and smaller lures the fight became insane, kinda like Salmon, meanwhile in other videos they use huge bait casters with big soft bates etc, even if its a huge fish the fight is just a couple of seconds, max a min.

Tom want to start lure fishing for pike. I have a abu garcia bait caster rod 10 to 40gram lure weight and a abu garcia bait caster reel. Does that limit me or look at a rod with say a 40 to 140 g lure weight. Great videos mate picking up some top info

Hi Tom, great video. Would you recommend lure fishing that venue in late January or early February??

[alfredshearing]

Thoughts on playing them longer to tire them, to aid easy unhooking?

[tomnicholson]

Great vid - what colour shadteez would you recommend for perch on a fairly coloured canal?
