Fishing guide

African Pike (Hepsetus odoe) is a small predator that feeds mainly on small fish. This nimble hunter prefers clean and well-oxygenated water. These pikes choose shallow, calm places with dense underwater or floating vegetation, from the cover of which they wait patiently and imperceptibly for an opportunity to attack their prey. The African Pike is mostly diurnal. Although the fish rarely weighs more than 1 kg (2 lb), catching it can be quite fun.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch African Pike would be to use Shiners on a size #1/0 hook.
