Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For European chub

  When using lures, vary your retrieve speed and direction to trigger strikes. Chub often hold near cover like overhanging branches or submerged logs.

• For Grass carp

  Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.
