Do big pike patrol regular routes?

The mobile ones do, in a loose sense: tracking studies show individual big pike revisiting the same sequence of weed edges, points, and bay mouths on cycles of hours to days, essentially running a trapline of ambush sites rather than wandering randomly. The route logic is prey logic — each stop is a place where baitfish predictably concentrate or funnel. This is why a spot that produced a big fish at 9 a.m. Tuesday deserves attention at similar times later in the week, and why locals who "know the lake's milk runs" out-fish visitors with better electronics.
