Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For European whitefish

  Use a slow retrieve or jigging action, keeping the lure close to the bottom where whitefish often feed; experiment with different depths.

• For Wels catfish

  Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.
