A few questions about pike

Hey guys. Have not posted on here in a bit.

Last weekend I went fishing on the peninsula in the late evening and almost every cast out I had a small to mid-sized pike follow my lure in. I managed to catch 2 but saw a bunch chase but not touch. The next day I went back to the same spot at the same time and conditions were a little different but not that much. In 4 hours I had one tiny pike follow and the girlfriend caught one bass. That being said, I have a few questions

When will the pike start moving out towards deeper water? Are they territorial or are there going to be a bunch in one area? Any guesses as to why I saw a lot one night but none the next?

I realize that this is a questions to ask, but hearing from local/experienced anglers that know the area beats google any day.

Bigger is better.

    first Q: --A: I will assume when the bait moves

    second Q:-- A: Im not sure , When I hook one there are always more in the area.

    third Q: -- A: Not sure why , could be they moved on to find something better.

    I dont usually target them until I see or hook one. To me if a spot looks " pikey " then Ill fish it that way and change up to target them.

    If they followed and didnt take , You should change your presentation to find out what will make them take and not just follow. Reel faster or slower or twitch violently figure out what p i s s es em off and they will take it.

    I Dont normally hang around in one spot to long , I just keep searching. Good luck.....

    Thanks for the help, man. What do you define as "pikey?" I get out of college for the summer on Wednesday and I guess I am just wondering if it will still be worth intentionally fishing for pike so far in to May.
