How to Find a Pike Fishing Guide

By Jane Mun

Northern Pike is somewhat mysterious creature. They have only recently started becoming more popular among fisherman and anglers, mainly due to restrictions and dwindling numbers of other fish species, such as carp and trout. If you are willing to be satisfied with 2 feet long low weight Pike, then you don't need much in the way of gear or technique. The slimy, smelly, messy nature of Northern Pike necessitates a higher standard for self respecting anglers and fishermen. To get the biggest, most impressive Pike you can catch, you will need a Pike fishing guide. Fortunately, there is no shortage of guides and advice available for pike angling.

Fishing Videos
Pike fishing videos in the form of YouTube clips and movie clips on anglers' blogs and fishing websites are a handy source of quick reference information and inspiration. There are so many amateur movies out there made by people willing to share their knowledge for free, that it is worth your time to scan through some of the videos, using keywords.

Fishing Books
Although conditions change all the time when it comes to fishing, in terms of laws, migratory patterns and fishing gear, owning a good book or two is essential to a beginner Pike angler. Using a book as your primary pike fishing guide is convenient, because you can carry books around with you on your fishing expeditions. This way, you will have a constant source of information to refer to. This helps if you face unforeseen circumstances during your trip. Fishing books are useful for studying advanced techniques, with detailed explanations. Many books are written with a personal touch, and some writers will focus on a specific technique, type of Pike, or location. You can learn a lot about the style of fishing that suits your skill ability and how far you are able to travel to find the best Pike. Search online for the best rated books and read reviews about them to make an informed choice before you buy.

Fishing DVD's
Pike fishing DVD's can be a great source of learning. While books are great for referring to detailed instructions and lists of gear and locations, motion picture is difficult to beat for describing advanced luring techniques. It is easier to learn the art of using spoons properly from a DVD, than just reading about them. Also, movies don't lie when the anglers catch and bag the coveted gigantic Pike. DVD's are reasonably priced, since they cost less than books to produce and copy.

Fishing Forum
Pike fishing forums are great sources of helpful tips and hints. Most of them will feature a Pike fishing guide for beginners. These introductions will equip you with enough basic knowledge to get you started. By joining a forum, you will be able to ask experts and enthusiasts for help on any Pike related topic that you can think of. The larger, very active fishing forums are well monitored and moderated. Many of the forums serve as a fishing guide to all anglers of all ages, so they will be safe to browse for the whole family. Moderators on these forums give their input when there is conflicting with advice given, or when members post bad or incorrect information.
