To the best of my knowledge, pike do not bite at night with any type of regularity.
I've never caught one myself but I was out fishing with a guy who caught a 12.6 lber at 11:30 pm. It was caught at a highly pressured lake where I believe some of the fish have resorted to feeding at night to avoid all the commotion.
For those of you who caught the pike at night was there a full moon present? Maybe the extra light from a full moon would be enough light for the pike to still see.Just a thought. WW
