Fishing for pike in October with a spinning rod: choosing a place, bait, tackle

Fishing in late autumn changes significantly. It is no longer warm, but at least 4-6 weeks before the first frost. Fish moves from shallow water to deep parts of the reservoir. At this time, it is already pointless to fish in shallow places. Where, a month earlier, it was possible to catch both predators and peaceful fish. This is especially pronounced during calm and warm weather by the standards of October. The behavior of the pike is also changing – it shifts to deep places – it stands along the channel and coastal edges, in pools, in a snag on the pits.

Peculiarities of behavior and stops of pike in October

In most cases, the toothy predator attacks the prey from an ambush. Underwater shelters are the main place where she lives, and only occasionally goes hunting. The time of day has practically no effect on the behavior of the predator. The pike can hunt both late in the evening and early in the morning. This depends entirely on the needs of the fish. However, the biting pike in October
on a spinning best during windy and cloudy weather. Light rain and light wind reduce the visibility of the fish, which undoubtedly helps the fisherman. What weather conditions affect successful fishing:

1. Light wind, about 3 meters per second . Among the fishermen there is a special name – the pike wind. It forms inconspicuous ripples on the surface of the water.
2. If the weather is rainy outside , then the reservoir becomes cloudy, which reduces visibility and the chances of potential prey.
3. Stable atmospheric pressure . Sudden changes can negatively affect spinning pike fishing in the fall.
4. The ideal water temperature is 8-11 degrees . At this temperature, the predator succumbs to its needs and neglects caution.
5. Cloudy weather conditions . Along with light rain, a cloudy sky will create visibility problems for the predator, and will also allow less noticeable use of the boat and heavy baits.

Autumn pike   is a fairly simple catch compared to the summer heat. At this time, the predator succumbs to a strong fever, and usually does not pay attention to weather conditions, greedily rushing at potential prey. But in any case, it is necessary to choose the right place of fishing, bait and tackle, even when the pike is in the period of October zhora.
Fishing in October for pike is most effective in medium and large bodies of water, while it is advisable for the spinner to use a boat. Even at the very beginning of autumn, you can catch a predator with relatively small and medium-sized wobblers and spinners right from the shore. Towards the end of September, it is already necessary to use long-range spinning rods with powerful reels, equipped with heavy lures. There are also so-called exceptions – these are bodies of water where the river bed goes close to the shore and where long-distance casting is not required. Here you can try using small
jig lures , as well as medium and 
heavy baits . When fishing for pike on the lake, you cannot do without a boat. It is necessary to use vibrators with a weight corresponding to the depth, turntables numbered 3-5,
minnow wobblers,
rolls , silicone.

Where to look for a predator in October

The habitat of the predator is where you can easily find food. The pike feeds on small fish, which, with the onset of the autumn cold snap, moves away from shallow areas towards the deep parts of the reservoir. The middle layers of water are another habitat for a predator. Also, her favorite places in October are deep pits measuring 8-10 meters in depth, on large rivers and lakes these are shallow depths of 3-5 meters. If there are still algae in the reservoir, then this is one of the factors in the presence of pike. With the onset of frost, they begin to fall off, and become unsuitable for feeding small fish, so the predator leaves the coast following the food supply. During good weather conditions in October, a couple of small pikes can be caught in shallow water, however, the closer the winter, the worse the result will be in shallow waters. Which places to check first:

• deep pits and relief features of the reservoir;
• zones near the river bed;
• whirlpools;
• areas with a countercurrent;
• areas of medium depth where driftwood can be seen.

2. Lazy twitching for minnow, for the same type of bait with different pulling amplitudes.
3. Wavy animation for vibrators, silicone.
4. Step for jig lures.
5. Stop & Go, dog walk for sheds, rolls, some types of silicone and spinners.

Step-by-step instructions for playing a predator:

1. The pike should not be allowed to sink to the bottom. If the fish is trying to change direction and go lower, then you should create a strong tension on the line so that it does not break off.
2. Spinning must be lifted slowly, the main thing is not to make sudden movements.
3. After the spinning rod looks up, you should quickly lower it closer to the water and wind up the fishing line.
4. In no case should the form and the cord be combined in one line.
5. Adjust the clutch well in advance.

The bait must be held by hand before casting, and it is very important not to catch on the tackle when the moment of departure occurs. This method requires a lot of coordination, which can only be achieved through personal experience. You need to take a
wobbler or other lure in your auxiliary hand, pull the line so that the rod bends slightly. After that, make a sharp motion with the spinning rod upward and simultaneously release the bait. She will rush forward due to the properties of the rod. Casting in this way on soft rods most likely will not succeed, it may even break.
