- Does lure size matter ? Winter Pike fishing ! Small pike on big lures and big pike on small lures!? Whats more effective ?
A day session with my Dad lure fishing on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal at Burscough and part of the Rufford Stretch.
The lures used in todays session where the #foxrage spikey shad and the #rapala X - Peto - 14cm slow sinking lure - colour - Live Rainbow trout.
Those #advanta Rods really do pack a punch for the money.
Enjoyable days fishing with some nice pike caught 🐊
Grab a brew or a beer and enjoy the session!
Any questions feel free to comment !

as a pike angler, i say size of the lures do matter.
Pros and Cons for sizes:
Big Lures (20cm+)
Pro - It is indeed massive and heavy lure, usually target big pikes over 12lb.
Best Chance to catch big ones.
Con - Won't catch much pike as the lure is maybe too big for smaller pikes
Medium Lures (9cm-19cm)
Pro - Probably the most favourite size for most pike anglers, for pike of any size.
It is possible to catch a really massive Perch on these medium lures.
Con - ibh idk if there is any con for medium size lures
Small Lures (under 8cm)
Pro - Some big Pike can be smart knowing they are being targeted by pike anglers with massive lures, usually chase much small lures to feed.
lots of catching for jacks
Con - easy to lose the lure when snagged up with low breaking strain.
Correct me if im wrong, but this is my experience with these lures.
What a great comment ! Definitely sums it up well I think 💪🏻🎣🐊
@@WestysAngling yea congrats on finally getting few pikes in a session. Must be a great feeling about that
The Late Mr John Wilson used "Sink & Draw" with a nose loaded sprat or dead roach, maybe because it imitated an injured fish, (easy prey) more than a Lure. Think he also put a slight kink in the bait too, for a bit of vibration?
I fished this exact stretch on sunday!!! had nothing but a local said it's better the other way. Where you parked
My first time j
Lure fishing too. Can't believe I'm watching you there lol
Well in boys! Same reasons I love it, get some exercise and explore some of our amazing canals 🎣👏
The stretch on the Rochdale canal between Morrisons at the bottom of broadway to Tesco's in Failsworth is heaving with Pike.(Don't fish the Tesco basin,it's full of socks and underpants)Slattocks bridge used to fish well.
I have seen them there ! Who has the fishing rights to that canal ?
Well done you both 👏 👍 your definitely getting better at this pike fishing malarkey 👌👍 some cracking fish 🎣🐊🐊🐊🐊🐟
Practice makes perfect… or at least less shite 😂
We only had one way to go 😂😂😂
@PaulsWest still got a cracking fish Paul 👍
Had some nice pike from.my local pond when it's really Cold small Jack around 5lb and one around 15lb
Nice video mate. I pike fish alot. Ive had 3lb pike on 26cm rapala xrap otus. Mainly at start of season while water is warmer. I had a 10lb pike on 20mm perch shad at start off season too. Usually find as the season goes on and it gets colder the bigger lures will catch the larger pike but as matey says u will blank alot more. Also the last hour of the day into the first hour of dark seems to work for me. Live baiting with a feeder rod is an awesome method for catching on the river also. Never blanked using this method. 3oz weight to a buffer bead then the trace thrown in a slack on the river.. never fails. Good luck for the rest of the season
Recently, I've put down the baitcasting rod and have brought out the light spinning rod (3-15g). I find it more fun as I can cover a range of species and not get fatigued. I love the finesse side of lure fishing. That one rod has caught me a variety of fish from, Perch, Pike, Zander, roach, bream , gudgeon, chub, mackeral, bass, squid
the problem fishing like this too many people asking things walking on canal dog walkers nice vlog keep going
They walk past pretty fast when you wear a camera 😂😉
Go to firswood fisheries you will catch a good few carp even in winter and some good size ones up to 20 let me know if you go 😊
hi mat.. i have caught a 20 pound pike on a meps spinner ! and caught 20 pound pike on a bulldawg jerk bait....so in my experience no size dosent matter...tight lines until next time!....
Epic Kev ! That must of been a battle on light gear !
to be honest mat i ever go to light on my spin rods medium action with 30 Ib braid and a 25 Ib spin trace....made with cannelle wondertress or supertress..the same wire i use for my eel fishing rigs...
its so supple made with wire and kevlar ...check it out..
Just new to lure fishing but we don't have canals up in the North east you southerners are lucky as once out of Durham from tyneside its the south😂your having more luck than me got a 6.6 shimano stc fast action mh 14 to 42g just a cheapo kastking till decide and got shimano stc 2.70 or 3m heavy 20 to 60g I paired that with shimano ultegra 3000 cast better with it but loving baitcasters looking for decent reel now upto 200,250 at push looked at shimano stx dc and daiwa tabula 300 but any info on decent baitcaster reel be great got 2 ugly stick gx travel rods had years there 5 to 15g just need 0.5 to 5g now to do all-round lures ps,it's alot harder when I'm same age as westy senior 😂but seems fun mixed with my feeder fishing which I can get bored seems more exiting lure fishing
Southerners ?!?! I’m in Manchester 😂 maybe southern to you though haha ! Your right though, the further down south you go the easier the fishing gets it seems , nicer rivers and canals 👍🏻
Should see if snagged bros will do a video pike fishing
I’m nowhere near there level mate 😂
How big? Between 5 and 7, do you mean 6 😂
Anywhere between 5 and 7 … could be 5.5 or 6.7
