Fishing for Pike - What do you use?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Are you talking about <a href="http://www.kids-n-cowboys.com/cisco-kid.html">this Cisco kid?</a>

Looks like he's only good at catching sequins and wide brim hats!

I like bucktails and jointed lures when trolling ... I've got some pike when bass fishing with the silver minnow and spinners ... can't lay claims to any big ones yet though

Spoons!
3 1/2" Toronto or Williams Wablers work great for myself! Either Silver or silver and gold..

Good luck

Any coloured spinner (as long as it's white with silver blades...lol).
Use brightly coloured spinners and don't forget the topwater lures like buzzbaits, poppers and wobblers.

I now have to update my earlier post .. I was fishing with a brown tube and weedless hook with a snap weight about two feet up the line ... caught a really nice pike expecting bass ... he hit it hard including the first time when he took everything including the swivel .. had to retie everything and then got him ... by the way some folks might find this setup with the snap weight a little strange ... I found that fishing with a weighted jig does get the tube to the bottom but in weedy areas they can be a pain in the butt .. .so I just use a weedless hook and let the lead weight take the jig down .. it has excellent action ... limited casting distance .. but from a yak it's just about right.

So I'll add scented tube jigs to the pike arsenal ...
