That's a big negative. My brother seems to catch them, but I never have. I have caught some fair size pike though:)

 

Here's an interesting catch,

Thats looks a good 20 - 25 Lbs

 

I enjoy my pike fishing and my biggest to date is just under the 20lb mark caught on a ledgered lamprey! I like spinning for them too covering alot of water its great to watch a pike following then nailing your lure

 

What tactics do you find most productive over there dead bait/live bait/spinning!!

Back to the original question! body looks bream like especially the length of the anal fin red fins of a roach! bream roach hybrid bream wise the silver bream does tend to have a black edged tail fin and black along its back and head! my final guess would be silver bream/roach hybrid

Well, here in the Territories, fishing with live bait is against the law, but down south live bate works well. Here I would say for me, I prefer dead bait in the winter and spinning in the summer. But in all reality, it is not difficult to catch fish here and fly fishing gives a much better challenge. (although I am not very good at fly fishing)

 

This last pic is of an Inconnu (coney). This is the only place where I have ever seen them caught so I do not know how wide spread they are. But this is the largest one that I have ever heard of being caught. Before we caught this one, I did not know that they even grew this big.

 

What is your favourite pike lure? Mine is a five of diamonds spoon. It is yellow with five red diamonds on it. I will see if I can find a picture of a pike.

Like many pike anglers i have lots of lures in the box but if i had too choose 1 lure it would have to be my imitation trout storm shad! it is life like soft rubber with the tail sectioned for improved action and has a weighted head. I have also caught lots of fish on the big s! Muppets work well and are great in really snaggy waters.

 

I have to say though my biggest pike was caught on a dead bait. I use a polaris float when leggering and always use semi barbless trebles, fox are very good quality and i tend to stick with these in size 6. I make my own rigg's with drennan soft strand 28lb micro filament stainless wire, its very supple and easy to use. I heat it up then twist together then back the join up with a crimp, never let me down

Yep, my tackle box is overflowing as well, but for pike, I generally use three different spoons (five of diamonds, red and white devil, and a green with yellow and black). If one doesn't work the other will. I also use a meps spinner (black and yellow), and for those weedy waters muppets (if they are what I think they are?).

 

I have tried shads and other imitation bait, but they do not seem to work as well. Although in the spring (june here) they seem to work okay. They worked great, when I lived down south and there are so many more fishermen there(maybe there is a connection?). Also the shads seemed to work very well for bass.

 

We do use dead bait when trolling for trout. Do you have a picture of your rig? I will see if I can find one of mine.

I will have to try and get a picture off my phone to my pc then upload it! so bear with me!! Its interesting how different lures work for you than what work for me! same species but a world apart! like you say maybe pressure from anglers does make a difference! although I think that its probably more to do with the species of prey fish that the pike here are feeding on compared to the pike you fish for are feeding on

 

Will get going on that picture
