4.0 out of 5 stars Your Pike book was informative, March 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pike: An In-Fisherman Handbook of Strategies (Paperback)

I found that the book was generally very informative. I have fished northerns extensively with a great variation of methods. I have a few suggestions for the next book. I think that the book didn't pay enough attention to live bait fishing. I believe that live bait needs to be covered more. I was particularly glad to see the dead bait section and all of the rigs for using both live and dead bait. (I always thought that it was interesting how a pike would hit a chub long after it died.) A second thing that I believe would further enhance the completeness of the book is to inform the readers how to catch how to catch monster pike in the canadian north during the SUMMER and not just the spring. I have found that during this period fishing techniques differ greatly. Other than that I found the book to be an exellent resource and tool to use both as a beginner and an advanced fisherman.

Great review of pike history, fishing, cooking, cleaning, catching, biology, records, etc etc... A modern bible of pike fishing that (unlike most others) spans the diverse methods and charactersitics of North American AND European pike angling. A bit shy on the photographic front since it's all black and white, but the information is top-notch!
