Pickerel or the Cain Pickerel are mostly found on the East Coast. You can get the just about anywhere from Canada down to Florida. They can also be found in the Southeast states of GA, AL, MI, OK and TX.
Pickerel are best fished on Bass lures. The flashier, the better. Krocodiles and other types of shiny spoons are good.
Since the Pickerel only get on average to around 4 pounds, you do not need very heavy of gear. The biggest Pickerel ever caught was only 9lbs.
15lb test with a 20lb Tyger leader is what I use for them when I'm in the area. I also like the 4in Krocodile with the prismatic tape and bucktail with the red dot.[cool]
