Chain Pickerel (Esox Niger), are a formidable gamefish, which is actively pursuing some and despised by others!
Chain pickerel in the Northeast and is located in Florida. In some areas these are the trophies that deserve the same respect as a great largemouth bass are valued in other areas, such as Florida, many anglers consider them nothing more than a nuisance.
Many inexperienced anglers mistake this fish for pike, but there are clearThe differences of these two species. The Chain Pickerel, is the model of the body out along the chain. Pickerel The chain does not reach the same proportions as its counterpart, the pike. Most of the chain pickerel are considered large when they reach 3-4 pounds. A true "trophy" is all about the £ 4 mark. The record of state for Chain Pickerel in most countries is between 6 and 8 pounds. Every year in spring, autumn and winter are great specimens captured in 4-5Pound range of media giants, but few have taken more than 6 kg at any time of year. The Chain Pickerel actually the best in winter and spring, and get to start their spawning process, as water temperatures in the 40s. Unlike many other species, do not go to bed, and lay their eggs on strands of vegetation, sometimes mixed with sticks, and a different structure. They do not defend their young or lay their eggs and bring it up, devours its own little smallafter hatching.
PLACES and tactics:
Chain Pickerel met in the winter months, and even through the ice. Usually cruise the same areas as other gamefish largemouth bass, crappies, yellow perch, panfish and more.
Pickerel are biting the bait fish schools, or persons, whatever the easiest prey at that time. Chain pickerel have catfish in the mouth, which were made too large to swallow captured, and have others attackBait. I also found dead or dying on the chain pickerel, stuck on the surface with huge mouth Bluegills, but at other times of need, only a small bait on or near the bottom.
The best locations for the chain pickerel in the winter along the drop-off points near deeper water and areas that contain a number of underwater vegetation in the vicinity. They are flat, even in very cold water sometimes, but always close to deeper water baitfish and escape routes. You canbrushpiles found through the deep water due to the fact that these areas to take into account other types of prey, panfish, and pike are not far away.
Contrary to popular belief, chain pickerel can be caught in the dark, but this is a rare event, rather than a standard rule of thumb. In early spring, many of the pike in the water near the coast, and emerging grasses and other plants, feed on bait fish and is ready to spawn. It is possible in shallow water like that froma few centimeters to several meters. The easiest way to catch pike with live bait chain. They like medium to large dark circles and large fish. This has always been a standard rate for pike were. There are other methods, however, that for real "trophies" are the most common and not so many 2-3 lbs.
The best way is to catch pike chains, use a small device like a dart shad, in combination yellow / red or yellow / white, in a dimension oz 1 / 64, up to about a 1 / 8 oz Thisare really small baits and finesse is required to reach the chains of these baits. The other bait that works well is a 1 / 16 to 1 / 4 ounces or brown hair jig / blacks. Both devices should start without bait, like minnows to them.
First you will need the fields, you can maintain ', pike drop-off neighbors to cover bumps, and other vegetation. You should rig this jig on 4-6 pound test line. This is the main attraction is the correct actionand depth, which triggers some of the larger fish. It 'the same principle used smallmouth fishing on Pickwick. They use six pounds test line, not because the fish can see, but because you can attract to fall right, the depth and effect for the capture of larger fish.
I like to manipulate with a shad dart two rods on one side and a jig on the other hair. I start from a hundred yard line, and slow trolling baits in this range, 360-degree search for the selectedAreas. She brings the leaves and grass, if you're not doing well, if they do not. . Slow Most of the strikes will be like nothing more than grass or leaves to feel the bait, but most times there is a large chain pickerel!
I can not stress enough how important the line! If the line moves, or does something that they have not already, then set the hook. You can not make love in the same way a bass guitar. It takes a minute slower than the short pulse, while reeling the line-uptight, and the right amount of pressure applied. The drag setting is critical, because you are the light line, and lighting fixtures.
Most of the time I take the anti-reverse off and backreel. You will have long legs and head into deeper water on the floor and try to wrap you in the trolling motor, and break under the boat as they approach. The only way to get a good landing is to catch them. Practice is the only way to get a feel for the landinglight of this tool. If you do not get all customers to work 2 or 3 of the best areas, then add a little fish on the back of the bait, but to go on an ounce 1 / 8 or 1 / 4 green, brown / orange or lime.
Troll in the same way in these areas again, while another cast bids for the areas of research and more action to try to spread the bait, they want to develop a model to date. Pickerel are wild one day and the next picky. They are sometimes unpredictable, so do not give up.On a good day I chain pickerel 5-7, which all have been caught more than 4 pounds, and usually 2 or 3 more than 5 pounds. I have some other lakes in Delaware and New Jersey that exceeded 6 pounds caught. I started a chain pickerel in 2000, the State of Delaware Sportfishing Tournament win for the year was 6 pounds, 14 ounces, just a few grams of the state record!
EQUIPMENT:
You need 3 or 4 spinning rods for these tactics, and in the field from 5 to 5 1 / 2 meter, ultra-light lightAction, with a good deal of sensitivity. I like G. Loomis rods, but there are other light-action rods are good, you can use it as well. Should be coupled with a good parts, like a Shimano or Daiwa, a large movement, put it slightly. But as I said backreeling, with anti-reverse-off is really the best way. I use Stren line in 4-6 pound test for this, because it gives the call the right action and depth. However, recently I have been experimenting with some great lines with goodResults.
Best positions:
Here in the Northeast (Delaware, New Jersey and New York), in particular, are some of the places, the largest chain pike Horsey keep the pond in Lower Delaware, Killens Pond in Dover, and the Nanticoke River (Broad Creek), in Seaford.
In New York I like Lake Champlain, and New Jersey, Farrington, Union and Assunpink Hopetcong include some of the best lakes, although there are many more, large production lines as well. Employs aboutThese tactics this winter and spring in some of these lakes and I think you look at the results will be surprised. Are not so many pike caught with some of these methods, but they are GREAT!
