What should I do when I can’t get a bite when lure fishing? Here’s the ANSWER! 

Nice video mate! I’m new to fishing and this is my first winter season and I’m kind of frustrated right now, I’ve been fishing probably 12 times last 4 months for a whole day and only managed one decent sized perch with a dropshot worm. But I see now I’ve been using the wrong approach and it makes me feel better thinking I have the chance to catch something 😂

Nicely timed video with the cold weather coming in. Much appreciated 👍

We need more videos like this please keep it coming. Great content! 🔥💯

I haven't caught a fish for weeks, Thom! Thanks for this, I've already applied some of these ideas but you have given me something more to think about.

Thank you for sharing these great tricks. I can't wait to apply on the bank what you showed us.

Fantastic information Thom, thank you. Might help cure some frustration with blanking so often lol 👍

Thanks Thom🤜🤛 I always enjoy your informative content - wish you would do more 🙏

This guy is a freaking genius. Watching this one video doubled my catches instantly.

Hi Thom, brilliant videos, very informative, keep up the good work.

Love your videos Thom 👍🏻 I managed to get a couple of small Percys today ,it was cold but I slow dropshotted with tiny lures.👍🏻

Incredible advice, thank you Thom. What I like best about your videos is you try to describe the reason for fishing certain methods from what seems like a fish psychology perspective - what you think they might be thinking at any given situation. I think thats a great starting point for anticipating your next move when doing any form of fishing, especially lure fishing.

And another cracking video watched today…… hopefully once I’ve been through all your videos I should have a better idea and put your methods into hopefully helping me get some bites and fish. Thankyou so much 🎣👍🏽😀

Good video mate

My method is, I always have a small box full of really whacky and unorthodox lures that ive come across and collected over a long period of time. Whacky could be whacky shapes or whacky colours or just _'out of season'_ lures like using surface lures in winter. I was having one of these hard days with a medium setup trying to fish for some pike. went quite a few hours with nothing and I gave up and broke out the box of whacky lures. I used a tiny 10g 2 section mouse lure that was supposed to be a surface lure but all the terminal gear just caused it to sink really slowly or submerge itself.... With that said. I didnt catch any pike that day, but the perch were absolutely hammering it even though i lost a fair few as the hooks were too big and in really odd positions to get a decent hook up.

My last fish day I used a cray for the first time I said I need to catch something with him I caught a pike My first fish with a cray never used before My best pike 7.5kg was caught with the same lures U have show was I think 19/20cm same pattern Was 16 June 2021

Your videos are great Thom. I am learning an awful lot from your channel as a new Lure angler. I need a bit of advice though please. How would you go about fishing a large clear gravel pit from the bank for large perch with lots of weed and boulders on the bottom. I know there are good perch in it. But I am suffering one blank after another at the moment. I won't give up but to say its getting to me now is a bit of an understatemt. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your videos Thom. I'm a light lure beginner. A beginner full stop to fishing. Your videos have been really helpful. I'm going out next week for the first time.

Hey Thom, maybe a video about picking the right rod/casting weight for your fishing style. Like for example i want to use 9cm shadteez with a 10gr jighead (thats a total of 17gr). Can i still use it on my finesse tc 5-15 gr, are is it better to use a stronger version like the 7-21 gr. I know many people including me struggling with that. Here on the canal i see many people using the wrong setup for their fishing style, and using to heavy lures for their rod.

Hi Thom ! Thanks for the advice your constantly putting into your videos. I want to ask you about getting a bite in these cold days. Im fishing a river with aprox. 5 degrees water temperature full of zander, pike and big perch, however, I'm not able to get a bite for a long period of time recently (3 weeks). I usually use jigging technique and paddle tail lures. Most effective seems to be chartreuse green color for a zander and sparkling blue or motor oil for a pike. I already tried to switch to drop shot with megateez lure. Tried 2 colors (baitfish/lime curd) and sizes (9 cm,5 cm) already. I fished the dropshot montage very slowly, also tried to speed up a little bit, unfortunately, with no results. One unusual thing is that I'm able to fish mostly at night or in the late evening. I used to catch a lot of zander at this time in summer and autumn since they're feeding. Also now in the winter they are feeding in the late evening when I'm fishing so they are higher up in the water column. Only difference is in the intensity of the attacks. Instead of loud splashes now I can see lot of tiny fry steadily spreading on the water surface and sometimes a splash can be heard. Also the water is very clear these days, which might be a problem and actually was a problem in the past (in the water with higher temperature - above 10 degrees). Best regards from Slovakia.

also how long would you give it before changing lure size or how much distance would you cover before changing thanks

Hi Thom another great video. Would love to no your thoughts on leaders ie when do you use wire and when do you use flourocarbon? What strength or diameter you use? do you use swivels and link clips? Thanks for all the information 👍

Useful info thx, just had a negative day pike fishing 🤦‍♂️ I'll give those tips a try 👍do you make up your own stinger rigs or do Westin sell to suit?

Hey mate would like to hear your thoughts on lure fishing a big reservoir for pike from the bank this time of year ..kinds of baits soft plastic or suspending jerk baits..size of lure and style of fishing etc.. always interested to hear your thoughts

Great tips here. Any advise for the lad i go fishing with as he never gets bites every time we go, I’m thinking he should take up karate or something.

Would you consider lures such as the Westin swim a negative lure ?

Id love to see a video of him showing how to make wire traces

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I know it sounds stupid but I only ever catch like 2-3 pike a year and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve got all the expensive lures (savage gear trout,rapala jerkbaits ans all ) and all those cheap amazon ones . I go more a less every weekend on spots that people are literally catching pike on the peg opposite to me and I don’t know what to do. Any tips you would recommend

Thomwhat do you use to fix your stingers to your jig heads please

How long would you give it before switching lures?

Hop-hop-hop 😅

here in summer i just tried catching pike in the span of 3 days around 20 hours fishing not a single bite on 1 lake and 2 ponds :D gonna make better plans for later this week :D
