I've heard about it but not done it myself, I only fish for pike with a lure.

Another way I heard was to fill the swimfeeder with maggots to bring other "bait" fish to your bait.

Where and when did you catch it?

Done it on the River Tees, works well when the water is coloured.

Feeders can work well slightly modified or adapted for sea fishing. There are a few threads on this. They are good for whitting, dabs and flounders, although can attract too many crabs on occasions and are prone to rolling in the tide. Defo worth experimenting with though.

Dont forget even larger female pike will and do eat tiny maggots, worms especially if its a popular stretch as well and they are used to an easy meal !

If you are targeting pike on a popular course fishery, then locate the holding spots, watercraft is the key. If its not fished regularly feed it, I personally then fish light for the smaller fish, when that dies a death I know the predators are moving ion and its time to change to the pike rod.

Contact the pike club, they are more than keen to help with advice even meet, and their page is great.
