Lure Northern Pike
Differences between capture and Walleye Pike
There are numerous differences between Northern Pike and Walleye Pike. As a fisherman you need to be aware of these differences and exploit to their advantage.
Let's start with the physical differences. Northern Pike grow much larger than Walleye. World record Walleye is about half the size of the pike world record. When comparing the same size fish of northern pike is longer, narrower and has a larger mouth.
Northern pike is usually in the top of the food chain where it exists. The only predator to worry of the largest members of own species. Walleye instead has much to fear from predators. This affects how each of these species behave.
Northern Pike a cruise on the water reckless abandon, often feeding if they are hungry or not. You can capture in open water and in a variety of different depths. Walleye on the contrary want to stay depth and are much more reserved in their behavior.
Fish that are to a great extent the impact their choice of equipment. For Northern Pike you want a heavy bar. Northern Pike have bony mouths, have a heavy action rod to penetrate the mouth and make an effective hook set.
From Northern Pike general slam a lure with hard felt loss of a heavy bar will not matter.
Walleye instead require a means to anchor the action of light. You will not need the backbone of a heavy heavy bar to set the hook.
However, you will have a high quality bar that let you feel when you pick up your bait walleye. In short you need a heavy action rod for Northern Pike both set the hook and fight the fish. Since we do not fight so hard Walleye and do not have bony mouths a Medium Action Rod is more appropriate light.
Line selection is also key to fishing for these fish. While fish have teeth, the teeth of northern pike are larger and more abundant. I recommend using braided line of twenty or more pounds when they go to class large Northern Pike.
When fishing for walleye you need to be more concerned with camouflage. A fluorocarbon monofilament line or in the class £ eight is much more efficient, while walleye fishing.
Your choice of bait is also very different for each of these species. Northern Pike are fish you can eat forage much larger than a Walleye of equal size. When using live bait can be used a tent pumping twelve inches long for Northern Pike.
I took the Northern Pike as small as eighteen inches long in the bait that was almost half his size. A smaller tent than three inches long or a leech is more appropriate for Walleye.
The inclinations of these two species also effect the proper presentation of a lure. Northern Pike are fish with a very high cruising speed. They move very well in all water depths.
There are a variety to attract different that you can use both for them. My favorite is a large spoon. Reckless and Johnson Silver Minnows are both excellent. It is necessary to use a very rapid recovery in the presentation of these spoons.
