Five Pickerel Fishing Lures And When To Use Them

The pickerel is a species that can be found throughout the freshwaters of the Northern parts of the United States and in Canada

. The pickerel is also known as the Northern pike and many people refer to them as just pike. They are a large predatory fish that can weigh up to about ten pounds and they can be very aggressive. This species can be fished all year long and this is one of the reasons why they are so popular.

The pickerel will eat just about anything that gets in their way and they often steal the bait that anglers use when seeking out other species. These two facts is responsible for making many people believe that catching this species is easy but, in reality they're not. They may not be a picky fish when it comes to eating but when you're seeking them out you need to use a bait that will get their attention. Just like with most species, some baits works better than others. If you don't use the right ones, you could spend hours on the water with no bites at all.

The pickerel is highly attracted to live bait and it's sure to get you some bites but there will be times when using live baits is not practical. In these cases, artificial lures can be used and there are even times when using lures would be more productive than live bait. However, you do need to choose something that will get their attention and you need to know when to use them.

Five pickerel fishing lures that work great:

1. Crankbaits - The best time to use crankbaits would be when fishing in cold weather and when fishing in deep waters.

2. Spinners - When using spinners choose the larger ones and they work great in most all conditions.

3. Daredevils - These are a type of spoon and the "red and silver" ones work great in clear water. The "yellow" ones called the "Five-of-Diamonds" work best in muddy waters.

4. Flies - Fly fishing is the most productive when the waters are calm so this would be the best time to use flies.

5. Topwater Lures - These are an excellent choice when fishing in shallow waters because they get the attention of the fish and draw them in your direction.

Out of these five baits there are many different sizes, colors and styles to choose from so there is something to use in every situation. By stocking your tackle box with a variety of the five lures listed above, you should be able to find something that will attract this fish in all situations.
