Avon Pike Project Part 3 The Percentage Game
Part 3 - The percentage Game once again finds myself on the backwater, simply down to time restraints, yet unlike last weeks session, that saw a number of pike come adrift, this time see's every pick up converted.
The video, once again contains some top tips, as well as making you aware that a simple slip on the bank could potentially see you ending up in hospital from an avoidable accident.
Part 4, coming very soon, sees myself heading to a new stretch, maybe even a new river, in search of a potential huge river pike.
Keep watching, hit those buttons (you know the ones) and please make a comment or two!

Avon Pike Project - Part 2 Bites on the Backwater!
มุมมอง 1.4Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Part 2 follows myself and angling buddy Darryl as we find the main river in the fields and are forced to head to a backwater. Pick-ups from pike don't take long in coming but our percentage rate of fish in the net to missed or lost fish isn't very good. As I mentioned in the first video, this is a learning curve for me and this new environment means having to beef the kit up whilst finding that...
Grayling Fishing on the river Test - Part 2
มุมมอง 1.7Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This video follows me on a day to the River Test with grayling and chub on my mind, however instead of float fishing corn, today Im going to use bread for a change. Feeding liquidised bread and using corn on the hook is something I have been playing around with recently, the reason being is that corn sinks really quickly as opposed to liquidised bread. This means that not only do you get bites ...
Avon Pike Project Session One
มุมมอง 2.6Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Having fished the Loddon, on the odd occasion, over the past few winters with limited success it was time for a new challenge! The Hampshire Avon was the obvious choice as after a roach session last year, before the floods came, time after time roach and dace were taken on the way in. In fact I played a pike for twenty minutes, never saw it, but in the end it let go off a big dace, which I weig...
Monster Barbel from the Trent

The tidal river Trent where dreams can really come true and proof that there is an element of luck when it comes to fishing. A two day visit to the Trent, a first for my brother, couldn't have got off to a better start with Kevin landing the 'sort-after' barbel called Rhianna at a weight of 18lb 8oz. A quick fire double figured carp for myself then saw a drop in action, not just for us, but rep...

Extreme Bream Fishing on the Waggler

Casting upwards of forty yards would the tactic work? Hi...

What you NEED TO KNOW to catch BIG canal PERCH

This week I headed out with James from @thefishingdiary for a day of Perch fishing on the Kennet and Avon Canal. The question is - was it the worms or the livebaits that won the day? The water conditions looked good but for some reason, the fish weren't feeding as confidently as they have been recently. To find the fish I had to move swims multiple times, and even switched from worms to livebai...

"Bad day to be a worm" is now a catchphrase in our home
last time iever attach forceps to my coat . Never gave it a thought . Another cracking video keep them up
Cheers Dave, better to be safe than sorry. Will do my best, if the weather allows, to keep the videos coming!
cracking video gents, got a little private marina i fish in newbury belonging to my grandad has the river & canal entering it, a livebait doesn't last longer than 30 seconds atm with 2lb plus sarges, the beauty of 0 angling pressure other than me and the old man a handful of times per winter, welcome some more livebaiting videos - love it.
Another top quality instructional video Duncan. Great today to convert every take to pike on the bank. Learnt so much about watercraft, rigs, matching the hatch and where not to keep your forceps! Now on to those bigger girls 🙂
We will find them, just as long as we can get on the river in the coming weeks?
Another brilliantly instructional video Duncan. It was a pleasure spending time with you on the bank mate in the pursuit of pike. It was wet and wild (we forgive you Carol x) but I learnt so much from you on the day. I really must learn to smile more and look less terrified though when I do eventually catch 😂
Cheers Darryl, as I have always said, its a learning curve for both of us!
Hi Duncan, why dont you use a float for bite indication?
Hi Dan, as mentioned in all the videos, the bites can be really slight and spotting these on the rod tips are hard enough, let alone floats in different positions bobbins around in the flow. I will be using a float on the odd occasion in future visits and will use your comment to explain the reason why I rarely use floats in a later video. Thanks for your comment.
Another quality video Duncan, keep up the good work.
Cheers Richard, will do....
Accidents happen, we don't need to encourage them. I had a pike flip on the mat, tethering my hand to hook, pike and mat.
Painfull, happens to the best of us!
You have some great videos in vlog library, enjoying the pike ones. 🎣 🐊
Glad you like them!
You know what, I've never even considered that wearing my forceps on my jacket was dangerous.....up until now! I'm a clumsy bugger at the best of times so thank you. I must also just say that your videos are spot on. I've been Pike fishing for over 30 years but I always keep a very open mind and firmly believe that all anglers can learn something from other anglers. Thank you and please, keep up the good work! Regards Rob...
Thank you Rob for such a positive comment, it's comments like these that encourage me to get out and create more content!
Good to see another pike video. Very informative with some good advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Some good tips there. Thanks
Thank you
Great video, sad to see the demise of the old salopettes.
Excellent and instructional video as always Duncan. However, leave poor Carol alone please. Be honest, you don't watch her for what she says anyway!
Marvellous!
Another very interesting video. Thanks.
Thanks again!
Does the resistance on the rod tip not cause them to drop the bait
I haven't had any problems with dropped runs
@@duncancharmanangling1136 The propensity of pike to drop baits owing to resistance, is overstated in my experience. When fishing close in I have my rods up like you, and wonder whether heavier barbel quiver tip rods would be suitable?
Great video Duncan. Your earlier tip about using a popup ball + paperclip as an indicator has been working really well for me this season.
The simple things are often the best. Glad they are working for you!
Poco wy te kabłąk otwieracie wieszasz jakieś pręty??? Łowię węgorze i sandacze luzują sprzęgło wolnego biegu i nigdy nie było problemu łowię 30 lat od 25 używam shimano baitrunner 6000 ale i okuma, riobi a ostatnio mivardi 5000 wronx.. .
Please don't start calling barbel by name it's fishing that's nowhere near to the awful carp fishing.
Hi Keith, I hate anglers naming fish, and have never done it myself, but just like the carp fishing world, some barbel anglers feel the need to follow suit.
Nice Vid. have subbed. Is that Manor lake?
Arr looks like Stilwater now ;)
Don't know a Manor Lake apart from the one at Thorpe Park where I caught my PB from and it's not Stillwater although there are a couple of decent pike in them. Local lake but have never made it public as if I did then she wouldn't get any peace. Hope you understand?
@@duncancharmanangling1136 understand. Thought looked like the lake behind match lake.
Enjoyed that thank you Duncan.......question, if allowed would you use maggots over corn/bread? Reason I ask is I fish the Derbyshire Dove for Grayling but am allowed maggot, but will def be giving the bread / corn mixture a go, if rivers ever get back in their banks!
Hi Mark, I prefer corn over maggot and bread as a hook bait last. Reason is that if you get six grayling from a swim you are doing well before they wise up, so by using corn it generally knocks out the small pencil grayling and picks up the better fish, so six biggish grayling is better than three big ones along with three small ones!
Just found your channel. Its great. New sub from me 😊
Thank you, appreciate your support.
always a please to watch your videos. i must get over there. i only live 35mins away
Cheers Brian, enjoy the fishing when you do and appreciate the comment.
Top watch as always 👍🏻🎣🎣🎣
Glad you enjoyed it
Where is part 1 please mate? Looks a nice spot. Just fished the Lower Itchin today. You did better than me! A few salmon parr though were a nice surprise.
Hi Mate, It was published Jan 24 2021. You will need to scroll through my video list on my TH-cam page to find it.
Most enjoyable, thanks
@@duncancharmanangling1136 thanks Duncan.
What’s the purpose of the orange plastic tags on the trebles please?
They are called bait flags. When pushing the treble through the tail section, or a dorsal fin, the barbed point often comes out the other side. By pacing a flag over the barbed points it often means that even after catching a pike the bait isn't lost and can be used again. I use them mainly to tell me which are the barbed points when unhooking a pike.
@ thank you.
What ticket do u need for the royalty good vid
The Royalty is a day ticket venue and I think it can be fished by Ringwood as members.
@duncancharmanangling1136 what's the pike fishing like there m8
The feeling "it's not going to work today' ... i recognize very well. It's something not explainable, but you just no. I think it's what you'v experienced trough the years. I realy could tell he is your brother😁 Thnx Duncan.
Cheers Paul, all the time you have a bait in the water you have a chance, but as you say, through experience sometimes you just know that the chance of something happening is so slight its just time to wind the rods in and head home!
How to handle pike vid?
Will start putting some coverage together and create one in the near future...
Whats bait that grasscarp cant neva resist
I want to fish here, but where can I find this stretch? Can you tell me your specific fishing location? As irs a large stretch, thanks mate!

@SootySweepSue ?
Amazing!
Looking forward to bumping into Duncan on the bank at some point. I have a few questions for him. Be prepared
Look forward to meeting you too...
Yeah, the royalty is my old haunt for the past 25 years fishing for Pike.
Its certainly the stretch to be on this year
Exciting fishing. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series.
Cheers Neil, fingers crossed for the odd big fish to turn up....
Excellent as always. Looking forward to seeing the other videos as your campaign develops.
Cheers Richard.
The Royalty is my local river & last year's pike season was a wash out with the amount of rain we had, couldn't get near it, but it's certainly busy this season,with some nice catches coming out.
It's funny because I'm a river angler mainly and always have been. The idea of these famous stretches of river makes me a little cold as I always imagine them heaving with people like a commercial almost . Being able to name all the swims etc. At the same time the royalty is so famous that I would also love to go and see it for myself . Great video
@johnh5660 I've found the Royalty doesn't get that heavily fished, it's managed very well, my local club has 20 tickets for its members & if they are all taken then you buy a day ticket. But the times I've fished it, never had a problem getting a swim.
Thanks for your comment Rich. Only fished The Royalty a couple of times and never for pike but did get smashed to bits fishing for perch in the Compound Pool a few years ago. It rained all day and I still have visions of a twenty plus tail walking out of the pool!
Love your video Duncan keep them coming
Will do Fred, thanks for your comment
If a pike ingests a dead bait with a balsa or polystyrene/foam ball, does it lead to a dead pike? The balsa or polystyrene/foam ball would block its digestive tract? Is that why prolific pike waters are getting rarer and rarer?
The chance of a pike digesting a poly ball or balsa stick is almost impossible as these should always be attached to the wire trace in some way.
Incredible fish and a great video. The 3 rivers rolling baits are great, special the 3rb doing well on Thames!
Glynn certainly knows what he's doing when it comes to making boilies...
Would you fish this same rig for chub if grayling and trout weren't a problem, or would you fish the bait directly on the hook with a longer tail?
Sometimes longer hooklenths works but anglers pressure around you makes it hard to many lines in the water is have learnt it even in bad conditions
Long hook lengths were used on this occasion due to the rubbish coming down river and building up around the lead which can mask the hook bait when using short hook lengths.
A old bloke once told me back in the 60s, worst thing thats happening, barbell getting into the trent, they grub about on the bottom and eat other fishes eggs and will take over, veracious eaters, worst thing ever. And hes been proved right 👍
Maybe he had a point but then again look at the other species the Trent is throwing up now, roach, carp, bream, pike, zander, and all big, so looks like it doesn't have a bad balance at the moment!
@duncancharmanangling1136 I've not seen many stick float roach anglers on the Trent, it's all tip lads, to be fair, every river I go on, I'm outnumbered by tip lads 👍
Thanks Duncan, really enjoyed watching that. Great fishing guys, well done.
Thanks 👍
Hello, sir how are you? I am a regular viewer of your TH-cam channel. I came here to say that- "Your channel always leaves me excited for the next upload!" Good Luck
Thank you.....

Hi please can you help where can i find the bolster sticks online please im very keen to use them thank you
Head over to the Pike Pro website and check out the tackle shops in your area that stock them.
I’ve fished on the Trent for 120 hours this year and I’ve had two bites which resulted in two barbel weighing in at 15lb 2oz & 11lb 9oz, both on the same day. Well worth the long hours with nothing.
Absolutely, when you know the venue contains big fish you don't mind putting in the hours! Well done
Hi Duncan ! Great video. Just wanted to ask you if you use a special type of balsa stick ? Went fishing the other day and I inserted a balsa stick in my deadbait. At first it popped up good but after an hour it went straight to the bottom. I think the wood took water... Do your have any recomandation ? Thx
I use the Pike Pro sticks and never had a problem. This may seem a silly question but was your deadbait frozen when you first tested it as if so this maybe the reason as frozen baits are really buoyant.
Where is the location please?
The river Test, Hampshire. Check out Timsbury, near Ramsey if you are looking for a stretch you can fish on a day ticket.
It's important to remember that rivers change, and the Trent won't always be as prolific a barbel river as it is today. Every river goes through different cycles, whether it be trout to roach, bream to barbel and they can easily revert back again as rivers like the Hampshire Avon have done. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The Loddon and Kennet, rivers close to me, and ones I have spent countless hours on where once the rivers to be on, sadly these have gone through years of tough times. The Kennet seems to be on the way back but as for the Loddon, it's still a sorry state. The Thames stays relatively productive and the Avon seems to be bouncing back. Im guessing the Trent has peaked and still going through an amazing spell, but Im fully aware this may not last. As you say, make the most of the good times as nothing lasts forever!
A lot depends on the Otter!
Hello, I subscribe. It's a pleasure to watch you and you take the time to explain well. Too bad I don't understand English and that TH-cam translates badly. In addition, on PC the comments are not translated either. I am 68 years old and I believe in dead fish fishing. Unfortunately, for the moment nothing caught, and to get specific components for this fishing, in France, it is not easy. If you could continue the videos on the different assemblies with size of the components used, that would be wonderful. Good catches to all Robert
Morning Robert, thank you, I will do my best.
