bradbass Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 What would you say is the best bait for pickerel is, right after ice out? Quote
GTrombly Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I always catch them by accident on jerkbaits and sluggos/flukes. Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 26, 2011 Super User Posted March 26, 2011 Pickerel will readily hit any lure in your arsenal. If I had to pick one, it would be a spinnerbait by a small margin. However, I have no experience with them in water as cold as you're asking about. Quote
Super User webertime Posted March 28, 2011 Super User Posted March 28, 2011 Rapala Subwalk fished eratically. Small Spinnerbaits. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 30, 2011 Super User Posted March 30, 2011 Whatever walks by it, they tend to hide out in the weeds and wait for food to cross their path. I use to catch them on cranks, jigs, and 5" senkos Quote
WanderLust Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 inline spinner chatterbait with a fluke on it Quote
boystcroix Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Seems like anything I'm trying to catch a bass with at my local lake. Bright colored spinnerbaits seem to catch them well, though I never target them. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 10, 2011 Super User Posted April 10, 2011 Like most have said, fish your bass lures and they'll hit it. They do like bright lures, no doubt about it. Then again, an empty soda can with hooks on it would work for them. Try mountain dew. J/K Quote
