Pike Eat SNAKES! Topwater Blow ups!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2022
  • For this session I decided to head out and see if the local pike would fancy snakes for dinner! I hit the canal at dawn and dusk to see if the local predators would be on the feed and they were! I had loads of action, plenty of takes and even got some takes up close and personal! I even managed a couple of slow mo shots. Hope this content is keeping you entertained until the river season starts in a couple weeks time!

    I don't know why your channel wasn't doing well. I really enjoy it especially when you're fishing small rivers. I don't get too much fishing in these days as my legs are failing and body shop does nothing in my size so your videos take me to the water's edge. Thanks

    Yet another very watchable fishing video even the long shots of the canal looked stunning, one thing I noticed was the shot of the malard ducks, they only had one chick, which leads me to suggest a surface duckling lure of sorts may be as deadly, thanks again for such an enjoyable video.

    Great video Chris... May fave type of fishing, topwater blow-ups are epic! I have noticed that once a Pike hits a topwater and missed it rarely has another go, whereas Perch will hit it again till they get iry (more competitive?). But great vid, and inspiring me to run out after work at 7 for a couple of hours :)

    • @The_ginger_fisherman

    love me some top water action I even wrote an article about it which featured in pike predator magazine back in the days of print lol I have used the snake successfully a couple of occasions think my favourites are the fruck and also the spro bbz rat the fruck for getting right on top of the weeds and tempting them out and for whatever reason the bbz rat seems to switch them on when other lures get nowt more than just a follow could be the rattle in them anyway top vid mate

    Hi Mate, i love your videos. Great job! I do use savage gear lures on sea and fresh water and must say that they never let me down. Did you know that pike can eat fish 2/3 of their own length? Also pike can grow up to 60cm in one year from they hatch if they have enough of food 😃 Tight lines mate!

  • @michaelsicowitz362
    @michaelsicowitz362 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @VisitaInteriora
    @VisitaInteriora ปีที่แล้ว

    I find that for top-water lures one should simply retrieve the lure until you feel the resistance of a bite, and not deciding when to set the hook by merely watching the splash on the surface. When fishing for shakehead I got so mad that I wasnt getting any proper hook set but tons of bites, that at some point I just continued the retrieve, which proved to be the way to actually catch them.

    Have you any tips for fishing frogs? I’ve bent my hooks out a bit and tried waiting a couple seconds before striking but missed about 10 blowups in the last week. So frustrating. Thinking maybe my rod isn’t stiff enough? been using 8-20g rod but it’s quite stiff. Drags tightened right up using .30 mm braid and a .80mm fluro trace.

    • @time4videos
      @time4videos ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea, a bit stronger rod wouldnt be a bad idea, also bend the hooks on your frog a bit outward from the frogs body. They are probably lined up right against the body, so just bend them 1mm out. It will still be quite weedless unless you are casting into really really grassy stuff and the hook up ratio will be quite better.

    • @mikeharrison8246
      @mikeharrison8246 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My hook up rate with frogs is horrendous - must be less than 5%! I’ve tried everything, bending the hooks out, delaying the strike, striking really hard straightaway ……you name it.
      Only top water lure that has reasonable hook up rate is the Whopper Plopper - and that’s still only 50%.
      But top water is far more exhilarating than any other form of fishing. And so addictive.

  • @polares420

      @thepikeangler2022 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Go early morning and evenings for the best action. Buy a couple of decent crank lures 5-6cm and your should catch 2-3 a session no problems. If you aren't catching it's more maybe your technique. Give it a few winds a bit of a jerk then pause... then the pike should smash it. 12 in a 2/3 hour session is my best so far.

    • @giorgiotatananni9652
