2. Mepps Spinner Number 3. Buy from Amazon. Shop Bass Pro Shops. A Mepps number 3 is the best pickerel lure when fishing in smaller areas of water. In smaller areas far casting is not as important and this is a good lure to catch bass and pickerel. A Mepps number 3 weighs 1/4 ounce. Northern pike have spots on their fins, pickerel do not. Pickerel tend to have more spots than northern pike. The pike's jawline curls further back and close to the eyes than the pickerel. The pike's back fin has less of a "split" between halves than the pickerel's. A pike's back fin can have streaks in it. Unlike northern pike, however, the opercles and cheeks of chain pickerel are entirely scaled. It may reach up to 78.7 centimetres (31.0 in) long only on rare occasions. The average size for chain pickerel, however, is 24 in (61 cm) and 3 lb (1 1/2 kg). (The average chain pickerel caught by fishermen is under 2 lb). It lives around 8 yr. The teeth of chain pickerel are sharp and can easily cut thin monofilament. We often use a 14-pound fluorocarbon leader or attach lures directly to the braid mainline. I prefer braids from 14- to 20-pound-test in green. Use a ball-bearing swivel to attach rotating lures like an in-line spinner to relieve line twist. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place two walleye fillets onto the center of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and place 1/2 of the onion rings over top. Bring the sides of the foil over the fish and In the coldest months when bass and crappies are sluggish, pickerel will still run up and hammer a jerkbait. Under the ice, they often attack a shiner on a tip-up faster than a walleye.
