In this action packed, predator fishing episode, I target and catch some big pike in winter from a popular carp lake. I explain the best baits, fishing tackle and rigs for catching these awesome, aggressive fish. Enjoy
Thanks Rich for all your tips, I've just started Pike fishing again after 15+ years, so very grateful for the refresher, can't wait to get out there & have a go🙂
Absolutely fantastic Rich. I thought it would be a struggle to ever come close to watching the legend that was John Wilson, but your videos are on par if not better. I love your respect and care that you show for your fish. Brilliant. Keep them coming! ... oh yeah... Trout!! 👍
Glad I spotted your site Rich as I was skirting through. Some really nice fish there and in such good condition too. These Freshwater Sharks do vary so much in the fight they give you. The LAST time I went Pike fishing was in 2003, a lifetime ago and the year before we moved. I was with a guide in Norfolk with my son. We used the same guy, Allan Griffiths continuously for about 6 years and NOBODY knew the rivers of the Broads like he did. On that final trip which I'll NEVER forget, I landed a huge Pike which didn't put up much fight BUT getting it in took about half hour. She weighed just over 34 lbs and was like lifting a sack of coal! And those 5 days we caught in the region of 20 other Pike, mainly double figures.
Great video, think you are a nice fishing mate. Maybe one tiny tip. First make up the non float rod, and than the floater rod. I learned cause when i once put the floater in, was making up the 2nd rod, and when it was ready, my floater was long gone already haha. Since than if first do the one with my optonic. When that hits while i am making up the floater rod, i hear it go of. Cheers 🎣🍻
Was a small rainbow trout, another great episode with couple cracking pike loving the channel mate one of fav fishing channels to watch! Excited for next episode 👍🎣
I took two things away from this video when I saw it the first time. Trout as a bait and pre baiting. Trout has its day and pre baiting is amazing. Night before, after the feeding window, pop a few chops in and the same at the start of the session the following morning. Winner. Had three doubles in two and a half hours last weekend, last session of the season for me. Happy days. Thabks for the tips, definitely given me some confidence!
Enjoyed your video I'm a keen piker can't believe this is the final first of your videos I've watched but it won't be the last. Trout got your first 2 pike 👍
