  • You guys have been asking for pike videos...so here we go! What a great day on the DPR . We landed a few nice pike and I actually caught my first fish on the chatterbait . Don't worry I got a nice net now so you guys won't have to endure any more fish grip cringe . #pikefishing #riverfishing #fishing

    Second video of yours i watched and I subscribed. Thanks for not trying to be too over the top dramatic like some youtube fishermen. Just good solid advice. You aren't trying to play anything up so your excitement when you hook a big one resonates. The hyperventilating when you catch something special is hilarious and relatable.

    Thanks for the DPR pike fishing videos! Cant find any on You tube. 1st time i floated the DPR i landed 7 pike! I was hooked!!! Been fishing it for like 5 years. Love it. So peaceful and the pike fight so hard its wonderful. Ive mainly fished lake county area but the water is soo low i might have to venture south a bit to find some good water.

    'Great vid. The Des Plaines is an under-rated good time for kayak-fishing largemouths and pike. It can be a bit challenging to fish from the bank or in a deep-draft boat. I wouldn't eat anything out of there, but the activity is good.
    Thanks for sharing!

  • @midwestoutdoorstv9235

    Good watch! Just a suggestion but I usually grab pike behind their head when landing then and then by the the gills once landed. Grabbing them behind the head keeps your hands away from the teeth while the fish can still make a move in the water. I know you said you got a net and that would work well too!

    • @suburbanangling

      Bank fishing is all about covering ground . No bites in 15-30 mins move onto to the next deeper zone/logjam

    • @suburbanangling
      @suburbanangling  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You just got to cover ground fam . You can't fish the same spot for over 30 minutes and think cus its a river something will come around you eventually . Even tho its a river they don't constantly move they stay in comfortable areas . So just park at once fishy looking spot (deeper water + fallen trees) and work that area for a bit...nothing there? Ok move onto the next spot . Its best if you're not afraid to walk thru the woods to get to some unpressured shoreline
