Ordinary the pike

Esox lucius - an ordinary pike in New Light it lives mainly across all Canada and the Central Alaska. It has no special success because of the bony meat and also because often pecks when the fisher tracks down a lake trout or other extraction representing greater sports interest. And still a pike - fine object of a sports fishing. Usually it is hungry and ready to attack, is active, strong and is frequent after cutting is capable to show acrobatic numbers.

At an ordinary pike the extended body, which length approximately six times surpasses width. The pike occupies the rivers, lakes, sometimes small streams, prefer quiet, small or sredne-deep waters with the larger sites of ground and coastal vegetation.

Remembering a remarkable teeth of this predator, fishers usually establish a wire lead between a fishing-line and a bait. Baits should be the greater size, than for fishing of a perch, weight from 20 to 35 grammes.

Many pikes descend from a hook. At it the firm bony mouth and if not to make powerful cutting, strongly having tired out a hook sting fish can easily break. Larger copies should be taken out from water by means of a hook or a landing net with the long handle.

The Best season for pike catching - the end of spring and autumn, since the middle of September until, lakes will start to become covered by ice. In August there is a period when the biting, practically stops. There was a superstition earlier, that at pikes, an old teeth at this time drops out, and they in general stop to eat. Now we know, that it not so. Fishes simply leave in deeper and cool waters until the temperature will not start to go down in September.

Recognised world record the pike in weight in 32 kgs is considered. It has been caught from a boat, in the river a St. Lawrence (State of New York) in 1957г. The record weight for the North America an ordinary pike in 1940 in the State of New York (the Water basin a Skandaga) has exceeded 21 kg.

The ordinary pike is considered one of the most widespread objects of sports fishery. The area of its dwelling is stretched from pure Arctic lakes of Northern Scandinavia to the rivers and lakes of Northern Italy, including Baltic sea.

In the most northern lakes which open only during the summer period, the pike is most active in solar summer days when it hunts approximately in two metres from a surface. More close to the pike south leave in more cool sheets of water.

The success of a fishing on shoal depends on speed of conducting, the easy rotating spoon-baits, quickly playing wobblers and superficial fluctuating spoon-baits. Similar, that the pike is pleasant like a bait which it sees any more for the first time. If the fisher knows it and knows, that the pike is nearby, it is necessary to do throws in the same place, changing artificial baits of various colours, the sizes and behaviour. And it is unexpected, after 5, 10 and even more throws a bait, at last, will anger (or will tempt) a pike, its patience will come to an end, and it will seize a hook.

Colour of an artificial bait plays the important role. Each reservoir has "own" colour, but baits can be subdivided on two basic categories - natural and contrast, such as red-blue, red-yellow, white-blue and fluorescent which it is visible in ultra-violet light is better. Fluorescent baits usually happen good-catching in rather turbid, dark water or at weak light. Silver, copper and brass baits, as a rule, bring good results.

The mouth of an ordinary pike is equipped by several hundreds sharp teeth which easily can will cope with a fishing-line that causes of lead use. For open to graze and hook extraction corresponding adaptations: jaw spreaders and ex-tractors.
