Plummerterrier 291 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 What baits best for catching jack pike, got two on a single hook with a trace using two maggots last night, thinking of trying half a joey mackerel tomorrow . What other baits are good ? Quote Link to post

toby63 1,236 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Lamprey is a good pike bait Quote Link to post
squab 2,875 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 live bait minows,size 8 trebles on wire trace 6ib line light action rod,hold on tight if you hit into a double Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 A nice piece of jack pike 12lb line minimum,wire trace etc .Make sure you know how to unhook one,removing a set of trebles from a pikes jaws is a bit different to removing a single...make sure you have forceps and wire cutters, ATB 3 Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 What northern lad says i also like a pair of long nosed plyers aswell for the stubbern trebbles Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Get a bag of sprats from the supermarket, two swan shot on your trace and fish them sink and draw, shouldn't get any deep hooked fish then. 1 Quote Link to post

Excellent method at this time of year once saw a 3lb tench caught like this,hooked clean in the mouth Quote Link to post
Plummerterrier 291 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Was fishing the other night for perch using maggot and got cut twice by jack pike . Got a few traces made up now heading out with a few joey Mackrell. Last day off work for a while so hoping for a good few hours Quote Link to post
