Haha I’m blanking everywhere at the minute 😂 that’s fishing ! You definitely feel it more when your filming a video though ! At least my dad can catch 🐊
Thoroughly enjoyable video. Good start to pike fishing and it is tough. But once you find where they hang out it can be so productive. Next time you go piking together can i suggest one of you hunts the lake with a lure. If you get a hit try setting up a dead bait near to it but keep hunting that spot. 😎
Congrats on the PB Westy's Dad! Quick little advice on the float, idk if you know this but make sure the float is tilting, like 45 degrees angle like, so the bait is on the bottom for pike to pick up the bait. 😊 i could explain about Float Rig when i can. It's complicated for those who are new to pike stuffs 😅 Would love to see more of your Pike fishing Adventures ♥
The weight lay on the bottom yes, that usually when the float is tilting, if the float is flat without float stop touching the float means you have too much line underneath the float and pike will get deep hooked before indication.
I believe Fladen is Norwegian but I may be wrong, great vid as per but I would suggest making up your own treble traces, the premade ones can be a bit 💩
great to see ya both piking!....my first preferance in angling...njoy ...maybe try single circle hooks on ya next visit....for the size baits ya using ...as soon as ya get and indication ...dont strike just lift into the bite....ya mite be pleasently suprised....check singles out!.....tight lines matt as always...
nice video westy. tried your wafters today at holbar, was a slow day had 4 decent breem 3 of which were on westys wafter so they seemed to do better than anything else i tried
I've got my first 20lb carp recently on a normal method feeder and the korum phase 1 feeder rods and for the price there great 👍. I used bread . Do you think that the Korda bait up method feeders are good for big carp fishing or are the method feeders just as good . Anyways great video.
@@WestysAngling have you tried the esp ones? Since I've just ordered the bait up ones but if they are worse I'll return them and get the esp ones No companies have been working on specimen style method feeders, the esp ones are about 11 years old
Great vid westy. Weird actually, I went out for a walk on the canal near me in hoghton and caught my first pike, whack my TH-cam on and see you’ve made a pike video haha
Karen incoming!!!!!!! You should be using 30lb mainline minimum for piking to avoid leaving a live rig in the water if you get snagged or making sure you can save a fish if it takes you into a snag. tut tut
Check out this video for some pike lure fishing action ! - Does Lure Size Matter? Winter Pike Fishing!

I’ve used one of these rigs before the first treble slides up and down the line of you squeeze the knot

Enjoyable video Westy. I quite fancy a bit off lure fishing Myself.
Saved the blank papa west with the p.b. pike nice one my p .b pike is 4lb and caught on a telescopic rod many moons ago😂......
Love to see it mate, hopefully it’s not put you off pike fishing! There can be many blanks but worth it when you catch a good one! 🐊🎣👏

@@WestysAnglingIt is 😂 I haven’t been out much at all recently 😩 Be good to see more of this though bud! Nice change up! 🎣👌

Some great advice as always Nick !
It always starts raining when you have put the brolly away and got to pack up, sod's law every time 😊

100% mate give me all that knowledge 😂
So does the weight lay on the btm or is it suspended? How over depth would you fish the rig as a starting point?
The weight lay on the bottom yes, that usually when the float is tilting, if the float is flat without float stop touching the float means you have too much line underneath the float and pike will get deep hooked before indication.
Weird I got glitched that my reply was supposed to be here 😅
What a beautiful UK weather... amazing🤣🤣🤣

Fladen make some brilliant stuff. Have you seen there zip up hoodie I bought two.
Ja, din fitte😂
nice one westy 7ft spinning rod do you for dead bait as well nice vlog keep on going vlogs thanks
Call in at Morrisons bud, they sometimes do a tray of sprats which are 5 or 6 inch long for next to no money!! Freeze any you don't use.
Great advice 💪🏻🐊

I have used them for cats never for pike! But I know they are effective 💪🏻 what size do you recommend?
@@WestysAngling i use mustad demon circle ..in size 1/0...for smelt sprats half macks....and 2/0 for larger baits,,,,cheers matt....
@rockdogization thanks buddy 💪🏻

I really struggled today ! I think you did well to catch 👌🏻

I have caught on the bait up feeders, but I think if you want a large method feeder for big carp the ESP ones are better 🎣

Use some harder baits like mackerel,smelt can come off on a cast
Yes they where very soft ! Not too bad close in like this 👌🏻
Where did you get the cap . My son collects baseball caps
It’s my own brand - westysangling.co.uk/
I'll try get him one of Santa..
Have you fished birch house fisheries brailsford Derbyshire i would love to see how you go on
Quite a drive for us that but will put it on the list 👌🏻

Great vid westy. Weird actually, I went out for a walk on the canal near me in hoghton and caught my first pike, whack my TH-cam on and see you’ve made a pike video haha

Gädda is Swedish for Pike. Pronounced "yedda" in Swedish.
Thanks for this 😂
Why use a float? Why not just have it lay on the riverbed?
Bait boat crept into piking now then 😂
hi did like your vid,but i dont pike fish,tench for me,cheers m8
I agree tench are a lovely fish 👌🏻

No sharks in there Ian don’t worry
Retie your top hook
Just store bought rigs 😂 I wouldn’t know where to start with tying trebles!
