Deadbaiting for Pike! (River fishing) 

Thanks angela, roll on spring , the fishing improves so much when the lakes and rivers come to life again 🙌

I just use any rubber bands I have simply knot them on above and below the float, Slide them up or down the line for depth.

Sound Kieran, Ivan’s big into the deadbaiting, I’d sooner be chucking lures but it’s nice to mix it up 😂🙏🐊

@@senanstanleyfishing I'm the same Senan...i hardly did any casting last year,all trolling..i want to get into it more..when you get out on lake again will u do a video on casting,please..where to do it?Finding the right spots etc..

Will do Kieran, it’s one of them things the more you do it the more Youl get the hang of if. Finding features that hold fish is the most important part. Drifting over weedbeds and casting slow sink lures can be really effective

@@senanstanleyfishing thanks Senan, I'm learning alot from you're videos.

Thanks for watching Chris 🙌

Hey Ronan 👌 no worries bud, one of thr reasons I use the short fleuro leader for trout is really because fleuro is a lot more expensive, being able to get a lot of sessions out of 2 feet of fleuro saves a lot of money when your fishing a lot, there’s no real benefit of having a full spool of it, the mono is super cheap, and easy to replace when there’s some wear and tear. ☺️👌 I’ve also started using thin braid mainline for some of my trout spinning also as it’s more fun playing them on braid , which you’d need the fleuro leader for, the trout would notice the braid in the water ☺️👌

@@senanstanleyfishing thanks for that Senan, makes sense👍🏻

There’s reasons behind the madness 😂👌 but everyone’s got a different way of doing things 🙌

Thanks pal, if we waited for calm sunny weather to go fishing in ireland, we would never get to go fishing 😂🙌🎣

Thanks for watching dude 😎🙌

Thanks for watching Smith 🙌☺️ I’m the same I’m on the fence as to whether Pike actually care if there’s oil injected into a deadbait, but Ivan has huge faith in it, I guess every little bit of attraction helps especially when the water is slightly coloured after heavy rainfall 😁🎣🤘

Thank you

Hi Damian, I’m fishing all over ireland in these videos, you will find pike in nearly every body of water bar a few, yes dead bait is a popular method on canals 👍

Thank you! 👌

Not long now lad, blink and it will be spring 🙌🎣

Great information dude 👍 although the floats weight was ok for the side of the perch I had on with the bullet weight, the pike simply didn’t get hooked on the hookset, sometimes the hooks can slip out, I probably should have given the pike a few more seconds to turn the bait in it’s mouth. 👎 great Information though, getting the right size float is very important! 🎣

Thanks Pauric, it’s hard looking at a float when all I want to do is throw lures around 😂 nice to do different things though, some buzz when the float dips under 😅👌

We will be back out after them soon , with some meter+ fish next time 👌😁😎 happy new year 🙌

Thanks for watching pat 🎣

Thanks William, the wellies are dry walker insulated wellies, around the €40/€50 mark I think I can’t really remember maybe cheaper ☺️ Flyfishing tomorrow for rainbows, if the weather allows it 👌

Meant ask how did ye find the sizing with the wellies. Good fit or go up a size down a size.

Same as a shoe to be honest, they come with that thermal sock layer on the inside, unreal for keeping the feet warm

@@senanstanleyfishing ideal thanks. Be a wetsuit be needing this rain doesn't stop 🤣

I don’t think I’ve tried that particular stretch yet, there’s so many little canal stretches along here, it’s hard to get around to them all. 🙌

@@senanstanleyfishing I fished it few months back only had 1 perch chase me in and i missed it😪 going try drop shot after watching your video 💪👌

Good stuff I’m sure you will get them this time 😎👌

Thank you! Consistent uploads is the only thing I’d suggest to anyone, fishing channels are very slow to grow
