Pike - Trolling on lakes in Finland

Trolling is an excellent way to fish pike.

It is enough to have one rod and a lure when trolling along rushes. You should troll near sides of rushes by rowing or with a motor, so you can fish a big area effectively. This method is often quite effective and fun. Use weighed lures lures or lures with divers if you want to catch big pike from deep waters. Sounds and abrupt banks are excellent places.

Pike fishing season begins after spawning in spring. Immediately after the spawning pike bite agressively. Big pikes are in deep water in summer when water is warm. There are plenty of small pike weighing under 2 kg in shallow water. Big pike come back into shallow water in spring.

You should troll pike near the bottom. Sides of rushes and ranges of rocks are excellent trolling places.

The best times to catch pike are early in the mornings and in the evening at sunset, but it is also possible during the day.

Big spoons and wobblers are excellent lures for pike fishing. You should always use a cast when fishing pike.
