			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p>Pike Fishing is great fun when  you understand a few things about how a Northern Pike thinks.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Northern Pike don&#8217;t think about a lot, and then don&#8217;t think about it for long &#8211; so once you understand the basics, you&#8217;ll always know <a href="http://www.northernpikebook.com">how to catch northern pike</a>, no matter what lake you are fishing.</p>
<p><strong>Pike Fishing For Lunch</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If you are planning to catch fish for a meal, then you&#8217;ll be aiming for the plentiful medium sized pike.  This is ideal for family fishing because many of the smaller sized pike fit great in a frying pan!</p>
<p><strong>Pike Fishing For Glory</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Catching the Biggest Northern Pike in the lake requires a different strategy.  These monster predetors feed on different sized fish &#8211; and require larger fishing lures to attract their attention.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">While average size northern pike hide out to catch bait-fish, the biggest pike are hiding out waiting to ambush the average sized pike!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">So, use bigger Northern Pike lures and fish a little further away from the edge of the weed-bed, and you&#8217;ll have a better chance of reeling in that monster &#8211; the next time you go Pike Fishing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- sphereit start --><p style="text-align: left;">You can remove the ‘Y’ bones before or after you cook the fillets. If you choose to remove them when you’re cleaning the Pike, here’s how.</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove each fillet by cutting down through to the spine and then turn the knife and cut along the spine to the tail.</li>
<li>Now remove the rib cage from the fillet; with the top portion of the fillet to your right, flatten out the rib cage with your fingers or knuckles.</li>
<li>Starting at the top of the fillet, cut between the rib cage and the meat, using more pressure along the rib cage.</li>
</ul>
<p>When you reach the bottom, repeat this on the other side.</p>
<ul>
<li>The thickest part of the fillet will be a ridge of bones that look like white dots, the ‘Y’ bones. To remove, cut above the ridge, but close to the bones.</li>
<li>Follow the bones as they curve upwards a little. Moving to the middle line of the fillet, cut at a 45 degree angle until you can feel the ‘Y’ bones and follow the bones with your knife past the vent.</li>
<li>Easily remove the bones, which should only be held by skin.</li>
</ul>
<p>Another option is to remove the ‘Y’ bones after cooking, when the properly cooked fillet will separate along the line of bones and make for easy removing.</p>

<p>However, there are different options to remove them, and a good sharp knife is crucial. And it’s worth the effort because Pike caught in cold, clean water have a superb taste.</p>
