Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For Zander

  Use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to allow the lure to sink and trigger strikes from zander lying on the bottom.

• For Wels catfish

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