Misery Pike?

Pike will eat just about anything. I prefer spoons, but have caught em on spinners, topwaters, crankbaits, live bait, you name it. If you target bass in the bay long enuff....you'll get one. Make sure your line is up to the challenge or use a steel lead.....dem teef r sharp.

What's "pike sent"?

Pike and Musky sent. Not sure whats in it. Pro cure gel. 

 Watched some videos on Youtube and the one guy said to retrieve slow. Maybe thats what Iv been doing wrong. May have been reeling in to fast.

Not enough spelling lessons, oh hell. 

At least for me, i have found reeling in to fast is not bad thing. Speed is great for triggering a strike. Those fish cant stand to see a bait go flying by them, they are programed to react at that kinda of crazy nonsence. You will get some of the hardest strikes when you burn the baits. Everytime i go out, i spend a good portion of the time fishing fast, if the fish are moving they will chase them down, you can not reel faster than the fish can swim...trust me. I know guys who troll for musky at 8 mph and they catch many fish at that speed, pike are just as fast as skies

Each day is different, but atleast give speed some time each time your out there. You can cover alot of water, and move the active fish. Later you can go and fish it slower.

misery pretty weedy now. pike are down deep in the weeds. big minnow suspended under balloon about 2 feet deep should get you pike.
then again, what do I know?

real minnow. blow up balloon size of tennis ball, tie to line 2 ft above big real minnow
and throw out over weeds.

If any pike will do, then keep throwing bass spinner baits and you will eventually catch one. It might be low 20s in length but you will find them, cast in slightly deeper water, fish 4-8 foot deep water and fish liek you would for shallow bass. They are there you just need to put it in front of them.

Wow, thanx so much! Maybe tomorrow we will get to go, they must of made him stay over time, He Called and said hopefully tomorrow b/c he was still at work. We have been having no luck fishing anyways,lol.

I think he means pike scent attractant.
He musta took spelling lessons from Mountian Man.

I wanted to be an english teacther.

I've noticed targeting Northerns that early in the morning or about 4:30 - 5:00 in the afternoon when the wind calms the pike seem to go on a feed! I think it probably has to do with the light conditions, plus the fact they are voracious feeders! I've always had good luck with a big spoon with a baitcaster or spinning rod - cast as far as you can - let sink a little - start your retrieve - 4 or 5 cranks - jerk your rod tip - start retrieve and repeat process all the way - work the water around you - from shore or boat! Daredevle's work well, but any big spoon or spinnerbait will give you good results! Good luck!

Well, today we found the Pike but did not get any on. Only Bass. The Pike where huge. 1 may of been a musky. 

Yeah same here, lots of Gar Pike and some monsters!!! For hours in the same spot, we where anchored. We never seen fish like that before!! We need to get some chubs!!! He left his minnow trap at work, he tried to get minnows when he was working but he did not get any.

"any one have any tips on catching gar?"

Every one I ever caught has been on a spoon.
