Experienced spinners know for sure that the most successful pike fishing will be in spring and autumn. During these periods, the predator will greedily chase almost any of the baits offered to her. Catching pike in the summer on spinning is often less successful, but if you know some secrets and subtleties, then you can easily pull out an impressive specimen.
Features of catching pike in the summer on spinning
Pike are not so actively caught in summer. As in autumn and spring. This is due to the fact that in heated water, almost all ichthy inhabitants become inactive and lethargic. Lowering the temperature stimulates the fish, they begin to scour in search of food.
Spring post-spawning and autumn zhor allow anglers to easily catch a predator of different sizes, but catching pike in the summer on spinning from the shore or boat will in most cases not be as successful, but no less interesting. To always be with the catch, you need to know some features of the capture by months:
| month | where to looking for |
| June | at the beginning of the month, you can look for pike in the places of its permanent parking, with an increase in temperature, the places of fishing can be very different |
| July | in the heat, the predator descends into the pits, where the water temperature is lower, where it stays until dusk and the long-awaited cold snap |
| August | a decrease in temperature at the end of summer activates the pike, it more and more often leaves the pits, returns to permanent parking lots |
In many ways, these indicators depend on weather conditions, cool weather will not be able to drive a pike to a depth, and hot June and August will never lure a predator to the shallows even at night. Therefore, the question of how to catch a pike on spinning in the summer can have several answers at once.
