Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

Fishing Tech.
On the way to the fishing area, Ballyhoo are
attached to sailfish rod leaders and a Marlin pole is made ready with a mackerel. When the fishing area is
reached the sport fishing boat slows down and gets
ready to troll. Both outriggers are extended and
drag hook-less lures, usually plastic shapes resembling squids. Four sailfish rods are deployed, two with their lines attached to the outriggers and two
placed in their holders at the back of the boat one at each corner, all dragging Ballyhoo. Additional rods,
including the Marlin rod, are placed nearby in case
they are needed. Once a sailfish has been raised and taken the bait, the captain slows down the boat and reels in the squid shapes on the outriggers always keeping an eye on the fish, one mate reels in the other lines as quickly as possible so they don’t snag and the mate in charge of the rod with the fish runs to it and gets ready to “set the hook”. Depending on the anglers’ preference, he or the mate can set the hook. If a double or triple hookup should happen, then it gets really exciting with anglers and mates shouting and running all over the boat trying not to bump into each other and entangle the lines. If the angler asks, the boat will back up closing in on the area where the bill-fish is swimming to shorten the time the bill fish is fought.
