The archipelago near Helsinki area is a unique place to fish for pike. Nowhere else than in the Baltic Sea, are you able to fish for pike in brackish water. Furthermore, the archipelago on the Finnish coast is exceptionally dense, offering thousands and thousands of bays, shallows and weedbeds for the pikes to hide. This makes pike fishing here like a hide and seek game – we have the possibility to fish lots of different spots to find out where the pikes are located and feeding most aggressively on a particular day. This type of fishing is very fun and exciting, never becoming monotonous. Because of the ample habitats for the fish, pike populations are strong on the Finnish coast. As always in fishing, some days are easier and some days are harder, typically we catch between 5 to 20 pikes per day.
