Whole Carp and Bream as Pike Bait 

The only problem with that is hes a she. Anything over 8lb. Is 99% chance of being female.

@@royjeffery6965 yup.👍

I know how that feels mate I lost a 4lb+ perch on a deadbait once while pike fishing it shook the hook out just when I was about to slip her into the landing net , to say I was gutted is an understatement!

not if you see his latest video!

Any decent reel and medium heavy rod will do mate

That’s a beast, would love to catch a monster like that

Congrats on the PB buddy

I’m agree it’s is a hybrid, I’ve seem bream/carp hybrids and carp/roach hybrids the bream carp,is more common but I’ve caught both

Roach can hybridize with, Rudd Common bream Nothing else and u can also get rudd bream hybrids 2

@@otrnr6959 there was a double figure bream carp hybrid in the Warren at Stanford’ le hope for years

Abu garcia gloves

Was that meant to be a ginger joke

I think it might just be an injury

Its a pike eat pike world.

True but it sometimes eels and perch nibbling I think can cause the float to bobble

Average size probably 6lb in that canal theres only one known 20. And in my local river average is about 3lb and I know of one or two 20s 😅. Even doubles are pretty rare

@@The_ginger_fisherman nice little canals tho its not all about the size :)

@@The_ginger_fisherman when all this lock down is over you should travel to the broads if you can some real monsters in there it use to hold the pike and perch records for a long time

It did actually hmm

What do you fish? Rivers or lakes or canals or all 3

You are so good......... I love pike fishing in Amsterdam..... One's again thanks for beautiful pictures

What are you talking about

I'm playing with him 🤣😂. He is catching so many pikes all the time Iven now wen is hard to catch one . Is this what I'm doing . So don't worry be happy 👍👌

I've had great success in the past with perch and eel as dead bait.

He probably has all the footage...but he says that he forgot to turn the go Pro on...that's just an excuse, to try and protect his fishing location....

Just connect your gopro to a powerbank instead of little batteries and you'll have all the battery you need for the day

Yes

Mup athy the canal has some Jack pike

Yea I haven't got out in a while but there does be lovely fish caught on the canal here

It was like that because i let it breathe. I rested it well so it was full of energy when i was showing it to the camera

So tough at the moment. I've blank last 3 trips out. 🙄

Drop shot is just an overrated fad.. There are way way way better techniques after 45years of pike fishing you'll learn them maybe...

@@tee331 not over rated at all, just another way of fishing, iv also done the pike fishing, 5 different 20s from local park pools in the early 1990s

They probably wouldn't notice if it was that small

trust me it isnt hes just using spots hes fished before

It's Easy during the Summer but in Winter it's the hardest.

@@fraggerjopyt4752 location location location. Your spot on

I reckon the reason for bad camera angles is to not disclose his fishing spots...and the excuse that he "forgot" to turn the go pro on is also to avoid exposing landmarks that would identify his location....he's said it in his other videos.

Get premier its cheap enough..

PREMIUM 👍👍😉

How much is it. Can it be shared. If so send me your details and I’ll give it a go. Thanks

And i have hooked it the other way round for 2 years now And never had a deep hooked fish. Plus it looks more natural if you Twiched the fish moving forward rather than backwards.

You obviously didnt read my comment fully. I said there are new anglers watching these videos ? You may be a well experienced angler who knows when to strike etc. The best way to hook a pike is one hook in the tail one in the flank to avoid deep hooking. Also when your twitching baits its lIke lure fishing your moving the bait away from the pike . It's hard to deep hook a pike that way. But a stagnant or suspended fish sometimes the bites are shy, possibly unnoticed and timing and hook positioning is key. Watch how a pike takes a bait. Nearly always they pick it up on the flank then turn the bait or if the bait is small enough they take the whole thing.

@@tiptoptuckacka3357 well said friend your experience shows nice to meet a fellow master.. Not many of us about..
