| Re: hard to catch pike a livebait is a good bait where allowed,dont forget to use wire and to strike as soon as you get a take,you dont want a deep hooked fish, remember pike need a lot of TLC in the summer ,even more so then the winter, you will find plenty of useful info in the PAC website ,the link is below, best of luck mate |
