Synopsis
There are few angling encounters more exciting than the heart-stopping, golden-green flash of a big pike as it lunges, like lightning, to seize your bait.
Tactical Pike Fishing describes the essential facts of pike behaviour and biology in a way that takes you right onto the muddy riverbank or reed-lined lakeshore.
This fascinating book will provide you with lots of important facts and plenty of original ideas that will help you to catch more fish.
Topics covered include:
- Where you should put your bait and cast your lure
- The habitats favoured by pike and the results of scientific investigations on this and related matters
- Which waters are most likely to produce pike of different sizes and ages
- The natural history of the pike, its camouflage, muscle power, speed and what its needs and preferences are
- The prey on which the pike feeds and seasonal changes in the abundance and availability of prey
- The movements and migrations of pike
- Fascinating accounts and reminiscences of the capture of pike
