Predator Fishing
Target Species:
Predator fishing is a specialized type of angling focused on catching aggressive, carnivorous fish like pike, perch, zander, bass, and musky, using techniques and gear designed for their strength and hunting behavior, often with artificial lures or dead baits to mimic prey and trigger explosive strikes. It's an exciting, challenging sport that involves mastering specialized rods, reels, lines, and specific lure types (like crankbaits, spinners, shads, jigs) or dead baits, often in freshwater or coastal environments.
Pike, perch, zander, musky, bass, walleye, catfish.
Techniques:
Casting, trolling, jigging, vertical fishing, dropshotting, and fly fishing, often focusing on edges, structures, and ambush points.
Equipment
Heavy-duty rods, reels, strong lines (braid/mono), wire leaders (for pike), specialized lures (spinners, jigs, crankbaits, shads, streamers), and large landing nets and unhooking mats.
Bait:
Artificial lures that imitate baitfish or insects, or dead baits (like herring or mackerel).
