If you think the bait is too big then its probably perfect for pike fishing.

I caught dozens of pike in Medicine Lake from shore with a hook under a bobber with a sliver of weiner for bait . I will take some next week and see if I can video one taking a wiener. Also the day I will avoid peeing down the holes I've seen how high a pike can jump!

Banana peel does work, even better when you slice the top end off and squeeze the banana insides out like toothpaste. Left bait at home and only had my lunch.

You gotta do what you gotta do . Caught some impressive sized trout on little pieces of orange peel long ago too. Got my first pike that was 8 pounds when I put my hook with a piece of bread on it in shallow water so I could squeeze it on the hook and toss it out for carp. Came out of the water to grab it and I was thankful I had spare shorts. Use what you have, as long as it's legal, pike see the same old same old day in and day out if you cant feed them pizz them off

We've caught just as many big lake trout on a one ounce jig with the little piece of belly on it

I took a guy once and we trolled all day without a strike. About 16:00 he pulled a banana out of his backpack and I knew what the problem was. Now, I would seriously consider throwing someone off my boat if they brought a banana.

Imagine how many of those little baitfish they could of caught if they didn’t have a boat full of bananas. Rookies.

we were out on the Frazer river with guide trying to catch some pinks for bait and the guide said he's not sure why we are not catching anything as he throws his banana peel in the river ,
never booked with him again

If you can’t catch pink salmon in the Fraser river you have bigger problems then a banana

That was the species I used to introduce young kids to salmon fishing

we did after changing hooks our selves and told the guide we would like to do it our selves .even when we were sturgeon fishing we baited the hooks.

And more likely reason was you were between schools of pinks not the banana. If there was a commercial opening or FN opening it can cause lags in between schools. There is one thing that actually makes a difference with fish like sturgeon is if someone has a high acid content but I doubt your guide would last if he had this issue without using gloves to bait the hook

But hey whatever brings confidence on the water giver. I just get humor out of some fishing theories and superstitions

You bet, they could have been straight up hammering the marlin if it weren't for those pesky bananas.

Hi, I was trying to get a look at the rig. Is that the the lucky strike with green flashers and 2 hooks. I like rigs. Do you bait them and with what and what fish. As for doubles I have a few and not a feat but some skill.

Hey Topshot
This is the predator rig from northlands tackle in the link below.
The bait used is also 8 inch Herring from the same place.

No you don't jig it. You just sit and wait.
