3/4 of the pike hits during jerking are when the lure stops. Try the technique of 2 hard pulls, then 1-2 seconds pause, 2 pulls again, 1-2 seconds pause, etc. You'll see a difference in the results.
Thanks David! The pause is definitely the most exciting part, when you get that sixth sense that there’s a fish under the lure, it’s hard to explain the feeling 😁
Nice to see the harbour, I know they have boats docked in lakes in the US too but in Australia I can't think of any lakes that have boats docked like that. Usually just ramps and huge car parks.
Do you fish much on the scariff side of the lake I don't have the same success down here as you, I'm really only getting back into the fishing and learning a lot from your channel keep them coming .thanks Mark
Hi mark, ya the scariff end is full of big fish, lots of good weedbeds this time of year for pike and rocky structures to hold the trout. Side imaging will help you to find them structures to concentrate on. ☺️
@NobleKorhedron the best option for us is 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon. Pike won’t bite through that. I’ve used it for 4 years now and you can imagine how many meter pike it’s landed and I’ve never ever been broken off. You can’t see the “weakness” on wire until it’s too late and snaps, heavy fleuro you can notice nicks after 20-30 fish and then change leader accordingly, it’s really the best option in my opinion.
@NobleKorhedron all good friend. lose the anti-kink vane. Simple leader for lure fishing we use -> mainline 60-80lb braid - swivel(palomar knot) - around 60cm of 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon tied to a 250lb stayloc snap - to your lure. It’s very simple but effective. See my previous video on how to tie your fleuro leader. Lose the wire, you won’t look back, just don’t use anything lighter than 1mm 105lb fleuro. And use good knots, that’s most important, it will not fail, I’ve used it for 4-5 years now.
Nice video Senan,i definitely going to do more jerkbaiting this yr,its exciting to feel that hit...have you seen the new 16cm salmo sliders?they look class.
Hi Colin! No I don’t debarb any of my pike lures, honestly with stiff rods you will just lose a huge amount of fish when they roll on the surface, a small barb on a hook won’t do any more damage to a fish than the treble hook already has done ☺️ that’s just my opinion man, I took out 2 lads yesterday, one lad had barbless trebles, hooked 4 fish lost 3 at the net due to barbless hooks, it’s just a nightmare trying to land them even if you keep pressure on, I’d rather keep the small Barb on them, never had any problem unhooking a pike ☺️🙌
I’ve all mine crushed and rarely loose fish but I’m not fishing from a boat could be something to do with a moving boat ? Bit easier to get out of a finger also on a bad day 😂
Oh I hear ya man there’s definitely some positives to it 😂👍 pulled a hook from my thumb last year, pike was still attached to it in the net at the time, sore one 😂👍
Youl pick it up in no time man, just get out there as much as possible, if you’ve friends that fish go together it will make it more fun for you at the start ☺️👍
Brilliant will give it a go Shannon is great also was on a friends boat Wednesday we fished the Shannon from 7-4:30 also done some of the suck between 3 of us was 15 fish to the boat biggest was 17,3 new pb for my friend all were happy🐊🎣itching to go back already 😂
American pike guy here with a tip ! When ya get a short strike or follow don't pull the bait out of the water ! Instead leave 3-4 ft of line out from the tip and make side to side sweeps with the rod tip ! It aggravates a pike ! If he follows but still doesn't strike sweep it over his head or a figure 8 pattern ! They will come after it buddy !
Great advice there man! I find that also, casting back over it immediately will get a second strike, it’s just when they suddenly appear under the rod Tip and bolt off when they see you that annoys me 😂👍 all part of pike fishing , they appear out of nowhere 😁

Yeah definitely man, they always love that tiny pause, probably the most exciting form of lure fishing 😅
Nice vid. First fish caught on the pause. Love the pause. Classic.

It’s a safe enough spot but at the same time there’s always trouble makers doing things to the boats !
Well Done I wasn`t that lucky last friday ... Still very cold... Nice video !!
Thanks andrzej yes the water temps are still very cold ! 🎣
Nice one ,ah the one's that get away thats what makes fishing great craic & makes you come.back for more 💪

Been using the salmo sliders the last few months, they are quickly becoming my go to lures. Thanks for the great content man.
Love the sliders they are so easy to use aswel 🙏🎣
Have you seen the new 16cm salmo sliders Cormac?look good.

Would love to pick up the 16cm sliders, always sold out when I have the money 😂
Any tips for using jerkbait only getting back into it and seem really good
Nothing like seeing a pike swipe at at jerk bait in clear water.
Gets the blood pumping 🔥
Nice lures, Have to get some now ! Do you crush the barbs down for easier unhooking ?

@@senanstanleyfishing Pike love to track baits from beneath! That’s why they are called the Ghosts ! Saw a 40”er eat a gosling once ! God’s Honest !
Absolutely, you’d never even know there’s a pike underneath tracking the lures 🐊
