I finally caught a small pike with my bfs rod and reel. I bought a Dark Wolf Ultra. You wouldn't believe how many casts it took me, I'm chuffed to bits. It's all down to you 😊
That first one, nice take. I fished a creek the same size as a kid that went through my uncles farm. I'm having flashbacks of throwing a 50ct spoon and my heart pounding.
What a jump from dat pike. Pike Fishing from the bank is great to Watch. Because dat is What I do to. The pikes are realy hitting the lures this time of year. From Holland so sorry for the bad english.
Love pike fishing. That’s all I target in the winter her in southern Canada. Such an underrated fish and good eating if you know what you are doing. I have some pretty insane pike fishing around where I live. If I I drive less then an an hour West North or East I have a chance at a master pike every time. I’m on 5 winters in a row with a pike over 17Ibs
That first one made Me jump. Nice Session again Chris. Hope all Is going well at Home with the Little one. Hope You took some Dead Baits with You loaded with Oils (They seen to like the Strawberry) and throw them Into the swim You had the Last Big one from, To get the Big Girl active. She won't chase a Lure at this time of Year. Keep them going In every time You go there. Then In The Freeze, go get Her on the bank. I only had a 24lber today, and a ton of little ones to Ten Pound. Keep 'Em Coming.
Another brilliant video again chris, just another idea which you probably arent into, but would be great seeing you tackle some gravel pits, say unknown ones or not fished apart from your forgotten ponds that is:) much appreciated as always...Also chris be good to see you trying the oldskool method sink & draw with sprats one time to see if you can do aswell:)
I bin today on nice wild river, weather condition was absolutely 💯, but fish was not there, small 2 pike's and found nice Japanese made lure hanging on a tree.
the floods have been quite bad at ur end went there hoping to fish the river but the park is 4ft deep full of water!!hope your all keeping safe.tight lines🎣🎣
I actually live just over the road from the river. I know a lot of people were evacuated down our street, but thankfully it didn't reach us. Its going to take a long time for the river to recover. I bet it lost a lot of big perch and pike to the fields
@@The_ginger_fishermanyea man its rlly sad to see. i was suppose to be filming a vid for my other channel but obviousy cant fish the river do u know how the canals fishing with all that colour?
Nice video as usual! Hey my ginger brother i ave question for you . What kind of leader you use for different technique . Like top water or smaller jerk bait i think it would make a realy good topic for a video . Ave a nice day
Your videos are by a country mile the best on TH-cam. Surely there must be a gap in the market for yourself to have a your own tv program. I got a few folk to subscribe to you and they all think the same. The fishing tv programs these days are terrible. Hope it happens for you 👌
Love the videos always in great spots do you now any spots for a beginner to pike fishing in Hampshire Portsmouth area mate not a beginner to fishing but am to pike thanks if you have and keep up the awesome videos mate.
A quick question for you,I might have got it wrong but you appear to be using fluorocarbon traces 🤔 personally I would never use fluorocarbon traces for pike,alway use at least 55lb wire trace,I was just wondering why you use fluro and do you get many bite offs ? Cheers and all the best
What a fantastic video. The tail walking torpedo impersonation of Chris' double is worth the price of admission alone! ☺ Also, are there any better sights on coarse fishing than seeing a Pike grab a lure underwater and shake it in anger as it hits the bait like a freight train?☺🎣
Yo Ginge, me and my brother are going to your canal chub spot and a few other locations you've never disclosed tomorrow, any chance you'll be out having a flick? Id love to get some swim tips and a picture?
I had three different long nose pliers with me including some heavy duty fox ones. I chose those ones in the video as they were thinner and more nimble for working between the gill rakers
I'm wondering if the paternoster rig is good for deadbaiting for pike to allow for more sensitive bite indication or will the pike hesitate when it picks up the weight at the bottom?
The river I fish on is super fast flowing at the moment with very little slack but big double figure pikes do you have any tips for fishing areas like this?
What are the big predatory fish of Europe aside from the pike? I know of the Zander and the wels as well. Is there a fish that occupies the same niche as the largemouth here in the US?
It really depends on the conditions. Sometimes I know what I'm using is the right choice so I just stick with it and other times I might change up every half an hour. Usually it depends on the venue conditions though. For example in shallow weedy areas i might prefer a shallow jerkbait and in deeper areas I'll generally go for a heavier shad etc
@alfredshearing6793 it depends on a couple of things like water temperature and the condition of the fish. ( a female could be full of eggs near spawning time.) The fish should lay on its side when it's ready to be netted. I only fish deadbait from October to march as the pike are very aggressive and swallow the bait very quickly and will get deep hooked In summer time and this increases the chances of serious injury or death. Although they look intimidating pike are actually very fragile and need to be handle with care.
What are the benefits of using a multiplier reel with lures. I've fished for 30 years and never used one or ever felt like I needed to change what I'm using. I have never even looked into it, so I'm curious.
When casting from the side angle (not overhead) you can look at the arch angle and control the distance with minimal thumb pressure to get the perfect cast to the snags and near cover, its a bit harder with a fixed spool... you always need thumb pressure towards the landing spot to avoid the birds nest problem though...
not having to open the bail over and over and over all day for me just makes it easier. when you get good with them you can be an absolute sniper, fine adjustment with your thumb
Make sure you have all the right tools for proper unhooking. Also watch some unhooking tutorials online. If you're dead baiting or live baiting for pike make sure to strike early or only use a single treble rig to make unhooking easier.
I’ve been out on my local Leeds and Liverpool canal for the past 3 days straight and tried every lure. Jig. Crank going and haven’t had a single take. Could I be doing something wrong
Hahah try a single circle hook with 2 or 3 of the biggest longest fattest lob/earth worms you can find i cant catch pike on lures for shit but worms i get zander perch and pike out the canal
If that's just a fluorocarbon leader tied direct to the lure, which it appears to be ?? then that is totally irresponsible and not something folks should be copying. Even with lures you should 100% be using a wire trace for pike..!!
Please weight your fish, just to get a reference, length means nothing, you could get a fish that weights 10lb cause it skinny, then a same size fish that weights 13lb cause eating well.
I finally caught a small pike with my bfs rod and reel. I bought a Dark Wolf Ultra. You wouldn't believe how many casts it took me, I'm chuffed to bits. It's all down to you 😊
We all know what time it is when that intense big fish music comes in lol
😂😂😂
Great video Chris. Hope you and your family are ok after the bad floods. Stay safe. Best wishes.
Beautiful slow mo on that pike jumping excellent work
Chris, your soundtrack doesn't get enough props. Its the gravy in on the mash
A big let down this video you didn't lose your net once!
Don’t encourage him, it worries me!
Hahaha 😂
John Wilson was his laugh. Ginger fisherman it’s his lost nets 😂🎣👌🏻
River pike are strong! 🔥
That first one, nice take. I fished a creek the same size as a kid that went through my uncles farm. I'm having flashbacks of throwing a 50ct spoon and my heart pounding.
lovely mate
Great pikes, and you didn’t even forget your net 😉

Those fish are absolutely smashing those lures. Great session.
Been looking at the Beast paddletail today and now will definitely add it to the box. Great video
Aaand i lost it on the first cast (literally)
Great looking fish. Really like your vids. Especially the huge 24 in brown from that urban trench. Great stuff. Looking forward to more of those😊

Lovely pike Chris. And the lure works brilliantly 👍
REALLY impressed with the accuracy of the casting into some tricky areas. Maybe well edited?? LOL Great video as always
Awesome Chris brilliant filming
Another top video bud. You must have the best cast and eye for a fish on the whole of TH-cam. 🔥🔥
Thanxx for posting
I love your vids
Greetz from Holland 🇱🇺
Another great video 👍🏻
Great Fishing! 🎉 😃
Cracking video once again big man, love the pike fishing vids👍
That braid is Sick
Nice Fish 🎉🎣 🐟
Wish had nice rivers around me... Nearest one is Great Ouse, but haven't had much luck there in the past couple of years..
Great vid 👍
Another awesome video Chris!! Love the videos mate!! …. Smithy
What a slammer of a video nice one crack on
Caught my first Northern pike today and I get home and this is my top recommended video haha. Sweet video! Mine was 31 inches, 5 pounds.
What’s the difference between northern and normal pike
@@zacharybeetham6735 There is no difference northern pike is just the full name
@@FelixFiske ohhh thanks
Love This guy,mebbe accent,yes,but quality content
Have you not been in morrisons carpark to catch a barbel that would make an interesting video 😂(car parks flooded)

Hey my ginger brother i ave question for you .
What kind of leader you use for different technique .
Like top water or smaller jerk bait i think it would make a realy good topic for a video .
Ave a nice day
I'm in the first seconds of the video, but already bet myself you're gonna lose your net 🤣

Since you catch and release, why do you use barbed treble hooks? Single barbless work really well and are much easier on the fish.
Brilliant video-well done ! What sort of leader are you using, please ?
I really enjoy ur videos 🙏❤️❤️
Love the videos always in great spots do you now any spots for a beginner to pike fishing in Hampshire Portsmouth area mate not a beginner to fishing but am to pike thanks if you have and keep up the awesome videos mate.
You have to fish canal and show the flooded river to your subscribers keep safe
I was fishing on the canal during the storm. The canal was flowing over the towpath in some areas haha. Caught fish though
@@The_ginger_fisherman your mad going out in that but noone can call you a fine weather fisherman all the best keep safe

Not to act like I know it all, but I didn't think pike fishing counted as coarse fishing ? Maybe I'm wrong though
Pike are a coarse fish traditional in the UK. They are rarely eaten these days.
Great
Yo Ginge, me and my brother are going to your canal chub spot and a few other locations you've never disclosed tomorrow, any chance you'll be out having a flick? Id love to get some swim tips and a picture?
Hi Chris, great video. I have a question about traces. I see you have nylon? not wire. What do you use?
Dave
I believe its 80lb suffix flurocarbon I'm currently using. Never had an issue
Are you crushing your barbs these days? Been thinking of doing it recently just for quick unhooking
Hi bro was wondering what's the advantage of the multiplier style reel your using cheers
Nice vid Chris! But please invest in a decent, sturdy long-nosed pliers. That silly artery forceps is not something you should use for pike..
I had three different long nose pliers with me including some heavy duty fox ones. I chose those ones in the video as they were thinner and more nimble for working between the gill rakers
I'm wondering if the paternoster rig is good for deadbaiting for pike to allow for more sensitive bite indication or will the pike hesitate when it picks up the weight at the bottom?

Those gloves... Any tips on fishing gloves?
You git your coloured wish today chris
Damn straight! Perhaps a little too coloured 🙃
Need to get out soon
What are the big predatory fish of Europe aside from the pike? I know of the Zander and the wels as well. Is there a fish that occupies the same niche as the largemouth here in the US?
The Perch is probably the UK equivalent of the USA bass
Main mission: do not lose net - done!
Hi ! What camera do you use for recording ?
I have a mirrorless sony zv-e10 👍
What fresh water fish do y’all like to catch for dinner?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
brilliant video as usual, get an agent and get on mainstream tv
How long do you stick with one lure, not catching, before you switch to something different?
It really depends on the conditions. Sometimes I know what I'm using is the right choice so I just stick with it and other times I might change up every half an hour. Usually it depends on the venue conditions though. For example in shallow weedy areas i might prefer a shallow jerkbait and in deeper areas I'll generally go for a heavier shad etc
What heavy setup would you recommend for big heavy lures for around £300 for rod reel combo
When you post pike vids, how long have you played the pike, I know you must edit the fight, just curious?
You get the pike in as soon as you can buddy The longer you play it the more stress the fish is under.
@@paulstares48 let me rephrase the question. How long might it take to land a 10lb or 20lb pike?
@alfredshearing6793 it depends on a couple of things like water temperature and the condition of the fish. ( a female could be full of eggs near spawning time.) The fish should lay on its side when it's ready to be netted.

We should do a collab, I will definitely help you to loose your net.

I'll give it a good go 😂
Where is this river mate? 👀🙏
Plss can you do top ten best light 10g-30g lures
Pike lures
Where do aye buy that rod mate ?
I really want to fish where you fish what area do you fish?
I just got some of these baits 😅
This makes me feel sad as I was planning on going to the river and fish for pike however the rain mains the river side is not currently accessible
i think were all having the same issue 😂
👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi i love your videos, if you could tell me the song name of that outro it would much be appreciated bc im starting a youtube channel ❤

Where u are fishing ?
I’ve been out on my local Leeds and Liverpool canal for the past 3 days straight and tried every lure. Jig. Crank going and haven’t had a single take. Could I be doing something wrong
Use a bigger bait. Honestly chuck a 20-30cm paddle tail swim bait about and you'll find something
@@The_ginger_fisherman I’ll definitely give that ago. I appreciate the reply. Can’t wait for the next video 😀
My local river is a a bit flooded, tried all my lures there today with 0 bites
Get the livebaits out mate had a 10lb zander during the storm
@@WestNorfolkFisherman fishing with live bait is prohibited here in ireland
@@potats1770 ahh shame man. I’m only in Norfolk uk it’s legal here
@@WestNorfolkFisherman I have had success with deadbait at the canal, landing a 75cm pike
How did you know what sex the fish 🐟 was Pike ?
My son would like to know thanks 😊
Do hard baits damage the pikes teeth?
Possibly, but pike regrow lost teeth
@@The_ginger_fisherman thanks Sensei
Which river is this?
Location please?
Mate, why cant i catch pike at all?
Hahah try a single circle hook with 2 or 3 of the biggest longest fattest lob/earth worms you can find i cant catch pike on lures for shit but worms i get zander perch and pike out the canal
If that's just a fluorocarbon leader tied direct to the lure, which it appears to be ?? then that is totally irresponsible and not something folks should be copying. Even with lures you should 100% be using a wire trace for pike..!!
Think fluorocarbon is usually okay, unless trolling for huge pike but even then
100lb fluro is fine. I catch zander on 20lb fluro lol
Please weight your fish, just to get a reference, length means nothing, you could get a fish that weights 10lb cause it skinny, then a same size fish that weights 13lb cause eating well.
If I caught something 15lb+ I'd probably weigh them, but I'm not going to mess about weighing low doubles 😅
First
