Do pike hunt by sight at night?

Mostly no — pike are daylight and twilight predators, and their catch rates fall off hard after true dark, unlike walleye, whose eyes are specialized for low light. The pike's peak windows are dawn, dusk, and overcast midday, when there is still enough light to aim an ambush lunge but prey see the attack coming late. If you are catching fish at night in pike water, check the species — it is usually the walleye shift, not the pike shift.
