Pike Fishing in Spring: 6 Mistakes to Avoid In the spring, pike, having regained their strength after spawning, become active feeders. Fishing for pike at this time can be spectacular, providing many opportunities to catch more than one fish. However, there are some common mistakes that can leave you without a catch. In this video, we'll highlight 6 such mistakes and offer tips on how to avoid them. 1. Fishing in Deep waters. The pike starts feeding when regained their strength after spawning, usually when the water temperature reaches 6-9°C. They spawn in the shallows, laying eggs on last year's underwater or waterlogged terrestrial vegetation. Therefore, the pike in the shallowest and warmer waters are more likely to be hooked at the beginning. However, weather conditions can affect this, and when spring is very warm, fishing can also be effective in deeper lakes. 2. Fishing Only in Calm Weather. By choosing a shallow lake, the pike will be closer to the surface, so it will be more cautious in calm weather. While fishing on a sunny, almost windless day can be more enjoyable and make casting easier, it may not be the best time to fish for pike. Usually, the best fishing happens, when the weather is less enjoyable for anglers. 3. Staying in One Place Too Long In the spring, pike can be active, so staying in one place for a long time is not ideal. Most of the time, when a fish is active, it will bite fast and can see your bait from a distance. It's best to move around, try different spots and adjust to the pike's activity level. 4. Improper Bait retrieve Speed. The optimal bait retrieve speed can vary depending on the water temperature and pike activity level. In warm waters, a faster retrieve may be more effective. 5. Fishing Only Early in the Morning. Although mornings can be cool in the spring, pike become more active during the day. If you fish only in the mornings, you may catch fewer or no fish at all. Pike can be active all day, so don't limit yourself to the morning hours. 6. Improper Bait Selection. There is no exact answer as to which bait works best in the spring. Experienced anglers may have their favourites, but it's important to try different lures if you're not getting bites. As you can see, these isolated mistakes are not fully defined. A pike's behavior can change quickly due to various factors. Fishing is exciting and unpredictable, but it's important to enjoy nature and experience spring on the water.
