Hi all
New to pike fishing
I have been lure fishing twice and float fishing today and blanked all 3 times. In the local canal there is pike in there and felt i was in some top spots today
I started off today deadbaiting sardines about 4ft down for an hour changing spots in the swim every 30 mins then moved swim and fished on the bottom still no bites
Mainly wondering what is the best depth to try or is it trial and error
Would I be better ledgering one on the bottom and float another rod at different depths? How long should I stay in each place

Re: Pike fishing tips
half an hour in each spot , if nothing is happening ,really hard going on the canals at the moment a lot of extra water has killed it
but going by the weather forecast it should improve over the next few days
try a float at a foot off bottom , with a live bait best , but a dead bait will work .......but not working for me at any depths ....
