Pike Eat Everything They Can Get There Teeth On

Pike eat everything in Lakes and Loughs, from trout, perch and roach, and smaller pike. Some times if you catch a pike, you might see another pike come up and grab the one you are reeling in on your line. If you still get your pike you had on your line, you will see a chunk gone out of its back or fins. This happened to me a good few times fishing in Ireland. Pike are the biggest predators in the Irish Lakes and Loughs, They grow huge in Ireland, they grow anywhere from 3lb to 35lb, with some 40lb being caught over the years. One of the best fishing places in Ireland is Lough Acalla in Galway, i have caught over 30lb pike there year after year spinning and dead bating.

Ways For You To Catch pike

There is a number of ways you can catch pike from wobbling to spinning, fly fishing to dead baiting. If you go spinning for trout all the time your sure to come across a pike. There is no season for pike fishing you can fish all year round for them. In the winter months i would prefer dead baiting, and spinning does work quite well once you have gloves on your hand your sorted. Pike move around Lakes and Loughs in the winter looking for food because all the smaller fish hibernate. Spinning is great all year round, there is nothing like a 30lb pike grabbing your rod when your not expecting it. You get the trill of your life, and a nice fight. Pike love to catch fish moving around the water, its what they do best.

I have fished in Ireland the last 10 years. You can check out the pike that i caught in Ireland at Pike Fishing Ireland.
