Fishing in November for pike on a spinning rod: where to look, when it bites, bait

Throughout the month of November, the pike is actively preparing for winter. It becomes colder and colder and this predator moves further and further from the coast. Its food is a peaceful fish, it gradually ceases to appear near the coast, so the pike is mastering new hunting grounds. This is a snag that has accumulated in pits, coastal and channel edges, any uncharacteristic places at the bottom of reservoirs. Having found several, she tries not to move away from them.

, which will be just before the freeze-up, the most favorable for pike fishing in November with a spinning tackle. At this time, frost begins, and ice will begin to appear only after a few days. The period during which there will be especially strong biting lasts for several days. In small reservoirs, it lasts 1-2 days, in large reservoirs, it can reach 4-5 days, and
on the river its duration reaches a week.

The right choice of weather for fishing plays an important role in fishing. The bite will be best in cloudy weather. In this case, there should be no sudden pressure drops or strong winds. The best biting occurs in the morning and evening hours.

Pike fishing in November depends on the climatic conditions in the region. In some places, ice appears earlier, in others later. It will be more successful if you choose the right time and place of fishing. It is difficult to expect a stable bite of pike during this month, but on good days it can be excellent.

Peculiarities of behavior and stops of pike in November – where to look for a toothed predator in late autumn

When fishing for pike, you need to pay attention to the following places:

1. Pits where rivers merge.
2. Thickets of underwater plants. The pike often goes hunting in them in small reservoirs.
3. Pits far from the shore.
4. Trunks of trees that have fallen into the water near the steep banks.
5. Outlets from the reservoir to the channel.
6. Abrupt changes in depths.
7. Curled bottom.

Pike stopping places in October and November [/ caption] It is important not only to find a suitable place, but also to choose the right body of water. In November, it is better to start fishing in small bodies of water and small rivers. After that, they move on to larger ones. You can count on a good result if you fish in non-freezing reservoirs and rivers, where you can find a depth of over 5 meters. The pike finds places that are rich in food. Usually peaceful fish lives where the predator is looking for a suitable hunting ground. If a pike is found in a certain place, you can expect that later it will be possible to catch it here. It is difficult to find a pike near the coast on large reservoirs. Fishing from a boat is more promising, when you can fish in the most promising areas.

What spinning lures to use in November

In November, the pike bite more often at the bottom. The following are used as bait:

1. Made from silicone or edible rubber bait . They are not effective enough when used on small rivers or small bodies of water. Usually such baits are used in large bodies of water when fishing at considerable depths. Foam fish can also be used for fishing. The effectiveness of such baits depends significantly on the color chosen. Large bright silicone – a suitable bait for fishing pike on a spinning in the fall [/ caption]
2. Wobblers . For pike, you can use neutral or sinking ones. They are often used in conjunction with suspenders. With wobblers, stepped wiring and twitching are used. One of the options for using this bait is shown in the figure. Animation of driver wobblers on uniform wiring at the top and twitching at the bottom [/ caption]
3. Oscillating baubles . It is best to use a large or medium sized bait. It attracts prey not only through movement. But also with the help of acoustic exposure. It is believed that the most effective are those with a silver color. These lures have a sweeping vibrating play. The fish sees them as large and easy prey. November fishing – labor [/ caption]
4. Small fish . For fishing, you can use live or dead. This lure is often used when fishing with a drop line .

In practice, larger baits have shown themselves well. It is recommended to choose those that have a length of at least 8 cm. It is believed that in November, pike will prefer one large fish to several small ones. Good results are shown by those with a length of 10-15 cm. It is recommended to take at least three lures with you. After a fisherman tries to work with one of them, he can try the rest. Sometimes it is difficult to guess which of them will suit the predator better.

Fishing for pike on a spinning in autumn in November: tactics, posting

To succeed, you need to look for habitats for this predator. You need to carefully consider the choice of bait, find a suitable wiring. It should be borne in mind that when using any type of posting, pauses between movements are of great importance. They can be as attractive to the pike as the movement of the bait. In cold water, the fish conserves energy and tries to attack the bait for sure. Having come fishing, the strategy can be chosen depending on the intensity of the bite. If it is weak, then it makes sense to predominantly use slow wiring. With a good bite, fast and jerky movements will do. If during 5-6 casts it is not possible to catch anything, then it is recommended to use another bait.

By making various jerks, the fisherman imitates the movement of a live fish. When fishing from the shore, successive casts of 10, 20, 30 m and more are sometimes used. As November progresses, pike is less and less likely to be seen. However, the specimens that fall on the hook are getting larger. At this time, it is almost impossible to catch a predator on the sidelines. In November, the pike spends almost all the time at depth. Pike activity in November is unstable, but closely related to weather conditions. For example, if an anticyclone is expected, bringing with it a sharp cold snap, the pike will have a zeal. If the pressure jumps up sharply, then this provokes the passive behavior of the predator. More details about the behavior of pike in autumn in our article:https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/opisanie-povadki/shhuka-osenyu.htm When night frosts come and the temperature remains above zero during the day, pike reacts well to baits. She feels the approach of winter and tries to better prepare for it. If the fisherman believes that there is a pike at this place, but it does not bite, it is not recommended to immediately leave this place. It is better to try all kinds of baits: oscillating spoons, silicone, foam fish and others. It is worth changing the site only when all attempts have been unsuccessful. When planning to fish in an unfamiliar body of water, you can rely on the stories of those who have already been there to find a place. However, this information is not always effective. It is better to study the bottom of the reservoir with an echo sounder and determine the topography of the bottom and places where fish accumulate. The predator will most likely be there,where there is a lot of food for her.

Features of fishing on the river

The pike will look for places where there is more food for it. This can be in deep or shallow places. She will be able to find food fish on spits, in backwaters and bays. If the river is small, then the most promising areas will be enclosed areas or places with flooded reeds. Here it is more convenient for a predator to ambush peaceful fish.

Features of fishing in small reservoirs

If we are talking about small bodies of water, you should expect them to freeze very quickly as winter approaches. The fish understands this and tries to prepare for the winter season, absorbing the maximum amount of food the days before the appearance of ice will give the fishermen an excellent bite. The pike prefers the deepest parts of such bodies of water, which are usually located in the center. The predator can be found in places where there are underwater snags or pits, if the depth exceeds 1.5 m. [Caption id = “attachment_8213” align = “aligncenter” width = “1000”] We

Selection and collection of gear

For pike fishing in November, a medium-fast or fast action rod is suitable. The first one is usually used with monofilament line, the second one with braid. When choosing a test, you need to take into account what baits you will need to work with. If fishing takes place on a small reservoir, 20 g is often enough, and for large rivers and large reservoirs a test of 30 g is suitable
For any spinning rod, the balance of the blank with the reel is important [/ caption] Pike can be caught from the shore or while in the boat. In the first case, it is convenient to use a rod length of 2.7 m, in the second – 2.2 m. Every fisherman will be happy to catch a trophy specimen. To do this, you need to choose the right tackle. For pike fishing, a 3000 size spinning reel is often used. It is desirable that at least 5 bearings are present in the mechanism. Some people prefer to use a baitcasting reel. However, it must be borne in mind that it is much more expensive than inertialess. However, when making a choice, one must remember that such a mechanism ensures reliable operation with strong and heavy fish. Such a coil will provide years of trouble-free service. You need to pay attention to the material of the spinning rod. It should be lightweight and durable. Blanks made from fiberglass can crack.Therefore, it is preferable to use those made from a more durable material. For fishing in November, carbon fiber or carbon fiber is suitable.
The handle should be made of anti-slip material. In difficult weather conditions, this will ensure that it is not exposed to moisture and cold. This will not make the handle slippery or stick to your hands while fishing. Those made of cork or neoprene will do. The line must be strong and reliable. However, remember that when fishing in cold and clear water, it should be as less noticeable as possible. It is customary to use both monofilament fishing line and braid. The first option is better suited when fishing on a retraction leash or when using a jig. This is due to the higher sensitivity of the tackle. https://tytkleva.net/lovlya-xishhnoj-ryby/spinning/komplektuyushhie-i-montazh/kak-vybrat-spinning-na-shhuku.htm Thickness 0.12-0.14 mm is suitable for braid, 0 for monofilament , 25-0.30 mm.The diverter leads are made of fluorocarbon, the usual ones are made of tungsten.
