Now then George. Hope everything is okay with you and the family. What a cracking video on blocks an absolutely amazing spot. Plenty of fishing and some chilling with other half. What could be better. Some lovely pike and well done with your catch my friend. Hope everything is okay with the little one and all the best to you and the family. 👍👍👍😄😄😄🎣🎣🎣
@@adventurefishinguk No problem :) I recently got the x5 max adventure after watching one of your videos. I can’t wait to get out next week and use it!
Always wondered about that place George when driving past. Water quality looked outstanding, bit like the stamp of pike. Golden showers 😂 then doubling down on it! 😂 R&R rod looked really useful. Honestly think you need a net with a longer handle, you would have had that pike, you only fannied about cause it was just out of reach.👍
Yeah the water clarity was unbelievable I think it used to be a quarry. Rigged and ready rod is a great bit of kit too! Thanks for watching and yeah I definitely need to upgrade the net!
Brilliant vid If I’m thinking right, does this place have motor boats and canoes on it? If so I fished it about 10 years ago and had. A couple of pike up to 18lb Exciting place to fish 👍
Another great video mate pity about the school boy error but we all have them at times, and just wondering if you are still doing the 4cast clothing and if you could post a link to the site if you are mate
Thanks for watching mate! 4CAST didn't work out for various reasons but I've got something bigger and better planned for the near future so keep an eye out!
Great video, I think I'm slowly progressing in to a miserable old sod as it was all just to enthusiastic for me. I mean I wouldn't have been shocked if when you almost slipped over, you turned and said it was the most amazing awesome way you'd ever almost slipped over.... Still I loved the video all of the way through, great stuff!
we stay here twice a year and will be going again in may! we started fishing the lake last year as my lad had started watching your videos and wanted to give fishing a try, didn't catch anything but your vid has given us hopes for this year! 👍🏻😊
George you should invest in a belly boat for medium sized lakes like that one, great craic...it's like fishing in your armchair! Great video as usual 👍
I'm sure there's some great big pike in there. You dropped a clanger with that pike though. You have to grab it while you can. You live and learn. Looked a great cabin to chill out in though. cheers
i fished there frequently about fifeteen years ago with a good friend who is no longer with us... i have seen fish 30+ in the shallows!!! there are also a few kittys in there too...
I've heard of a low 20 or two coming out over the years but never a 30, there's definitely a chance there could still be a fish like that in there though! Thanks for watching!
I think ull find the Syrup is for the carp I used it with banoffee it's like crack to them n the lures where perfect n known for catching decent pike great video
Did someone from Hello Fresh take pity on your previous terrible meal deals habit? 😂 Great video well worth the wait! I won't ever see golden syrup in the same way again though 🤔
So fishing ... old guy here, it's not about the landing. A lot that I catch, even eaters, when I've had my excitement and enough for a meal, I just un hook in the water, yes it's nice to have the odd one in the hand ... but you caught it fair and square? I love bait casters, they are small, compact, light and strong. I would love to know where this is? When I am let off the leash by SWMBO we go to a chalet park on Loch Linnhe, just on the narrows where Lock Eil starts. Since I was 12, 40 odd years ago? It's the sea so fly for sea trout or a bit of the bottom for some red cod. But I am always looking to break up the journey now as I get older? This looks a fine place?
Yeah I agree it is more about being outside and enjoying nature! Personally I don’t count a fish as caught normally until it’s in the net 👍 great fun to cross paths with a big fish like that regardless though and it’s a lesson! Unfortunately I’m not able to say the name of the place publicly in case people go and fish it without proper permission 👍
Proper fannied about 😂 was a belter that. Get ya drag set abit slacker when you have a fish that close lad. Soon as it's at ya feet get it scooped up... it sat looking at ya for 5 mins 😅 great video
That happened to me with a big salmon years ago. I was river trout fishing from a high bank with a Mepps spinner and didnt have a landing net and lost a fish of a lifetime it spat the lure when i was lying on my belly trying to tail it. I was traumatised 😅😅
It was a crying shame when they stopped selling day tickets on there. A lad that used to own a local tackle shop fished it regularly and he said the pike ran to 20lb +. I fished it once ( blanked) but the Perch I saw were a decent size, wish I'd fished it a bit more as it's only a mile from me.
That place used to be amazing in the 80s, huge roach, perch, trout, i had a 3.5 perch there, you should still be allowed to fish day ticket as it was in the original planning permission, also the bottom end should have a large cordoned off area as a nature reserve, that didn't last long.
The Tilcon workers used to rear rainbows there in pens while they were still extracting gravel, me old fella worked for them, then there was a big canal leak at capenwray and the Keer was filled with coarse fish and that links into there, was a big weed bank on the A6 side and you could float fish for huge roach, there was also plenty of wild brownies, you'd have to get the council involved to insist on day ticket if they refuse as it was written into planning along with the nature reserve, i was allowed on when i quoted this years ago but told to keep quiet, i had a letter printed in the visitor when we were thrown off and they had to let us back on the far bank, that place was out of this world.@@adventurefishinguk
I lost my biggest pike last year this one must have been 10kg+ no doubt have a strong rod tip and was dead baiting with it and never have got anything that strong on my line and the wire (dont know english name) but it was 15kg strong, was using a roach about 10-15cm and 7 small floating balls Brighg colors and a weight 20g and line 30cm and the bait was floating in the water works very good! But i know There are monster pike in there saw one take a swan 🦢 2 weeks ago when was baitfishing but this lake is 10km long and 27m as deepest
Sorry pal but that's quite possibly the worst price of angling I e ever seen in 20 years. What were you thinking lol😂 learn from your mistakes . That fish didn't have a clue it was hooked which threw you off confused so I guess playing dead worked for her 🤔😂 1-0 to the pike x great video bro 👊
Fish with carl, snagged bro, ginger fisherman and Adventure fishing uk. Weekend complete 🎉
Haha yeah a good lineup of videos that's for sure!
I've watched them all to including lee on obsession with angling check his channel out 👌
Sean might even catch a fish 😂!!
All good except fish with Carl, he is a kn*b
You missed Black Country Piker off that list!
Oooh! That was a heartbreaker. You're the new Sean.
Haha yeah I should’ve set the hook shouldn’t I! 😂
Great video man also the snag bro one was class good to see you all together like top gear fishing 😂
Haha yeah that was great fun to film!
Cool vid mate some nice pike there 🎣
Thanks for watching mate!
Mateeeee u made me shout out awwww when u lost that high double...... Crumbled like a cookie didn't u son haha too much time with snagged bro 😂😂😂
Haha I'm still gutted about that one, I should've set the hook 😂
Ahhhahhahhhhahahaha sick man
@@joshuacloake6088 😂😉
should try galgate and garstang george had 9lb pike last week from galgate just near the locks
@@adventurefishinguk Or perhaps get a net suitable for double figure fish!!!!
Now then George. Hope everything is okay with you and the family.
What a cracking video on blocks an absolutely amazing spot. Plenty of fishing and some chilling with other half. What could be better. Some lovely pike and well done with your catch my friend.
Hope everything is okay with the little one and all the best to you and the family. 👍👍👍😄😄😄🎣🎣🎣
Ay up John, good to hear from you! Hope you’re well 👍 thanks for watching the video I’m glad you liked it
@@adventurefishinguk yeah all good buddy and all the best to yours my lad 😄😄👍👍🎣🎣🎣🎣
Handy useful looking rod .. Interesting lake to fish that..
Tabla music at end...exotic...
It’s a great bit of kit, thanks for watching!
Again another great video and what a beautiful place :)
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!
@@adventurefishinguk No problem :) I recently got the x5 max adventure after watching one of your videos. I can’t wait to get out next week and use it!
That 1st pike earned my subscription. Way to go, awesome fish man and greetings from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 😅
Thanks a lot for watching mate! Really appreciate it!
You hang around with Sean from Snagged Bro and you are bound not to set the hook right 😂😂
😂 Yeah too much time with Sean I think!
It's not just the fish you are punching with mate ! Well done 🫣👌👍👍👍
Haha I’m very aware! Thanks for watching 👍
I can't believe u said that about that syrup buddy great laugh I had got me ear to ear 😂
😂 Thanks for watching!
Looks like a lovely place to fish! Nice video mate!
Thanks a lot for watching mate, much appreciated! It's great fun fishing places like that
Great video, gutted for you on that second double..😬
Golden shower perch 😂😂
Thanks mate I’m gutted too! Won’t be forgetting that one anytime soon
The Old Ball and Chain!!!! Jeepas you are a brave man!!
😂
Nice one George! The one that got away 😢
Thanks mate, I know. I bet it was a PB too, not quite the magical 20 i've been after but i'd bet 15lb ish!
Always wondered about that place George when driving past. Water quality looked outstanding, bit like the stamp of pike.
Golden showers 😂 then doubling down on it! 😂
R&R rod looked really useful.
Honestly think you need a net with a longer handle, you would have had that pike, you only fannied about cause it was just out of reach.👍
Yeah the water clarity was unbelievable I think it used to be a quarry. Rigged and ready rod is a great bit of kit too! Thanks for watching and yeah I definitely need to upgrade the net!
Where abouts is this guys?and do you know if there's any carp in there??awesome vid George👌
I wonder is the lake spring fed? The water clarity is really good. Hard luck losing the big fish but the other two were great fish also 👍
Brilliant video ive just ordered mine to take on holiday to Martha's vineyard to try for the big bass
Thanks for watching! I'm sure you'll love the rod!
I'll tell you what that fish was doing just sitting there. It was laughing at you mate! 😂
Haha it definitely was 😂 the cheek!
The fish sometimes go into shock when you set the hook it’s best to net them before they wake up it can happen with other types of fish aswell
Very interesting point I haven't heard this before, I definitely needed to be faster I think!
Maybe a larger net for those big fish?
Nice cabins. Tight lines!
I definitely need an upgrade! Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome catches and they were healthy ones. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate, all very heavy for their length!
Good video George, great stamp of pike unlucky losing the big one
Thanks mate! Yeah I’m gutted about that big one 🙁
@@adventurefishinguk You’ll have to book another holiday 🤣
Nice place looks great for a break. Shame you lost that pike mate and the rod looked great too😊
Thanks for watching mate! Really nice place isn’t it 👍
@@adventurefishinguk have to look for some of these they look great 😊 and
Great video George 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for watching mate!
...Great video! Can feel your loss, happens to all anglers, however, the next one may be better...
Thanks for watching mate, yeah it does. Everyone needs a few ‘the one that got away’ stories!
...'The one that got away' is especially entertaining @ the local Pub here & there because everyone has a tale to tell...
Brilliant vid
If I’m thinking right, does this place have motor boats and canoes on it?
If so I fished it about 10 years ago and had. A couple of pike up to 18lb
Exciting place to fish 👍
Thanks mate! I’m not completely sure what it’s like in summer but there wasn’t any boats really this time of year
Can anyone tell me the name of this place or is that not allowed ? Thanks 👍🎣
Another great video mate pity about the school boy error but we all have them at times, and just wondering if you are still doing the 4cast clothing and if you could post a link to the site if you are mate

@@adventurefishinguksorry to hear that mate and I'll keep an eye out for your announcement
Great fishing spot and video.
Thanks mate I appreciate that!
Great video, George, nice location, shame about that pike, but at least you got to see it😅
Thanks mate, big shame but we live and learn!
Great video, I think I'm slowly progressing in to a miserable old sod as it was all just to enthusiastic for me. I mean I wouldn't have been shocked if when you almost slipped over, you turned and said it was the most amazing awesome way you'd ever almost slipped over....
Still I loved the video all of the way through, great stuff!
Thanks for watching! Understood, I can’t do anything about my enthusiasm for fishing unfortunately it’s just the way it is!
we stay here twice a year and will be going again in may! we started fishing the lake last year as my lad had started watching your videos and wanted to give fishing a try, didn't catch anything but your vid has given us hopes for this year! 👍🏻😊
If you wanted me to come stop by for a few casts I'm only round the corner 👍 I'm sure you'll get one if you put the time in! Good luck!
would also like to say my son would love it if you fished this lake with him! maybe we could arrange something when we are their next 😂 😊👍🏻
@@pixelmonkey7543 feel free to give me an email on george@riggedandready.net when the time comes if you fancy it!
@@adventurefishinguk my lads in shock you have actually taken the time to reply 😂 we are there in may so will email nearer the time!
Where is this mate
Great video George 👍
Thanks for watching mate!
George you should invest in a belly boat for medium sized lakes like that one, great craic...it's like fishing in your armchair! Great video as usual 👍
I’ve been using mine on lough Erne.
I'm planning a video using them in summer in france, if i like it maybe i'll get one!
I'm sure there's some great big pike in there. You dropped a clanger with that pike though. You have to grab it while you can. You live and learn. Looked a great cabin to chill out in though. cheers
I'm sure there are a few really big ones in there too, i'll have to try again some day. Definitely a lesson learned with the one that came off though!
i fished there frequently about fifeteen years ago with a good friend who is no longer with us... i have seen fish 30+ in the shallows!!! there are also a few kittys in there too...
I've heard of a low 20 or two coming out over the years but never a 30, there's definitely a chance there could still be a fish like that in there though! Thanks for watching!
Great video George, i was gutted when you lost the big girl.
You should take those Pike and put them i the Pro's only stretch of a certain canal ; )
Thanks mate, I'm gutted too! haha yeah that stretch could definitely do with a few more fish in based on the results from the comp!
Great video some lovely pike there. I see you needed me to net that fish for you 😂.
Thanks mate! Yeah I could’ve definitely done with a hand 😂
I think ull find the Syrup is for the carp I used it with banoffee it's like crack to them n the lures where perfect n known for catching decent pike great video
I hadn’t considered that, I can see why carp love it! Thanks for watching
Wow mate that fish was a big girl 😮 unlucky it got off,will have to give some of my lures a golden shower 😂😂😂
Massive wasn’t it, I won’t be forgetting about that one any time soon!
@adventurefishinguk you need a bigger net lol 👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one George. Do you fancy coming over after the hounds next month?
Thanks mate! I definitely fancy coming over at some point during summer, a few interesting marks I fancy checking out. You’d be welcome to join!
@@adventurefishinguk that would be fantastic. Let me know when you are coming over 🦈🦈
Well done young fella
Thanks for watching!
Hi George what reel and rod would you recommend for me to buy for spinning for trout ? Thanks
The Rigged and Ready RR1000 reel with the Fish Rig 180, or the X5 adventure is what I would suggest 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thanks for the reply I think I’m leaving more towards the x5 but also what line would you recommend on the reel ? Thanks
Looks like a good place to fish in the winter time if it is open . Shame about the one that got away
Yeah definitely, thanks for watching mate!
Did someone from Hello Fresh take pity on your previous terrible meal deals habit? 😂 Great video well worth the wait! I won't ever see golden syrup in the same way again though 🤔
Haha yeah my old meal deal habit wasn't great, hello fresh is 100% an upgrade!
Any reason you have the drag on the reel so tight?
Mostly to get a good hook hold and keep the line tight 👍
😂😂😂the old ball and chain. Jeez if I used that phrase to describe my wife I’d be homeless 😂
😂 I'm a sucker for a good expression!
Looks very familiar to a place I stayed.....is the lake named after a large tree by any chance?
where did you take the ball an chain tho bro it looks amazing place ??? shes untriaged lol
A place called gilpin spice in the lakes mate it’s really nice! Not sure what you mean by untriaged?
@@adventurefishinguk haha me neither mate intrigued lol thanks bud keep up the great vids respect bro
Great video once again
Thanks for watching mate!
That pike came up to hypnotise you. And it worked. 🎣
It absolutely worked 😵💫 Thanks for watching!
That was a big 🐊!!
Thanks mate!
Beautiful sight. I tell my family keep reeling do not let the pressure off of the fish.
Very good advice, thanks for watching!
So fishing ... old guy here, it's not about the landing.

@@adventurefishingukOk, I understand. There is a similar looking place just up the road from me, a few miles. Not half of 600 though ;-) Take Care. T
Superb video but bet Sean don't feel so bad after seeing this.
Haha thanks for watching mate!
What's the baitcaster you're using?
Abu garcia revo beast X 👍
love your vids xx
Thanks a lot for the support!
love your vids pall
Thanks mate glad you like them!
The big pile are 2 to 3 feet off the drop of sitting there dormant covered in leechs getting ready for spawning.
Good point, the ones I caught didn't seem to have leaches. Maybe a few weeks off spawning time still!
You need a bigger landing net on those big waters.
I know I could really do with a longer one for sure!
Proper fannied about 😂 was a belter that. Get ya drag set abit slacker when you have a fish that close lad. Soon as it's at ya feet get it scooped up... it sat looking at ya for 5 mins 😅 great video
Haha I’ll regret that one for a long time! Definitely needed the drag a bit looser didn’t I 👍 thanks for watching!
hi, can you show us how to find free trout fishing on rivers an streams??
Google and just getting out and trying is your best bet! Depends a lot where in the country you are about how much trout fishing there will be
That happened to me with a big salmon years ago. I was river trout fishing from a high bank with a Mepps spinner and didnt have a landing net and lost a fish of a lifetime it spat the lure when i was lying on my belly trying to tail it. I was traumatised 😅😅
Haha that's a shame, happens to the best of us though doesn't it. Every angler needs to have a few 'the one that got away' stories!
There will be big Perch in there Im quite sure ... I wasnt expecting a golden shower though.
Unexpected golden showers are the best ones!
have u tried galgate
I haven't, what's it like?
How much was the perch lure
I'm not sure actually, its called a fox rage replicant wounded perch though if you wanted to look it up!
It was a crying shame when they stopped selling day tickets on there. A lad that used to own a local tackle shop fished it regularly and he said the pike ran to 20lb +. I fished it once ( blanked) but the Perch I saw were a decent size, wish I'd fished it a bit more as it's only a mile from me.
I bet, I wish I could fish it more too. I’ll have to get another holiday planned sometime!!
Superb buddy
Thanks a lot mate!
My folks have been going there for years! Never told their pike obsessed son about the fishing!
They probably don't know! Next time they're there you might have to ask them to get me a fishing ticket ;)
That place used to be amazing in the 80s, huge roach, perch, trout, i had a 3.5 perch there, you should still be allowed to fish day ticket as it was in the original planning permission, also the bottom end should have a large cordoned off area as a nature reserve, that didn't last long.
Unfortunately it’s not a day ticket anymore, unless you’re staying there. I wish it was though! I believe it used to be a trout fishery was it?
The Tilcon workers used to rear rainbows there in pens while they were still extracting gravel, me old fella worked for them, then there was a big canal leak at capenwray and the Keer was filled with coarse fish and that links into there, was a big weed bank on the A6 side and you could float fish for huge roach, there was also plenty of wild brownies, you'd have to get the council involved to insist on day ticket if they refuse as it was written into planning along with the nature reserve, i was allowed on when i quoted this years ago but told to keep quiet, i had a letter printed in the visitor when we were thrown off and they had to let us back on the far bank, that place was out of this world.@@adventurefishinguk
Where is it mate
I’ve never been so annoyed at my tv before you go a monster fish in front of you and you just stood there
Haha not my finest angling moment that's for sure!
Not heard of anybody fishing here in years, went once as a teenager with my dad and uncle. Is it lure only?
I think they allow all sorts of methods as long as you're staying in a caravan!
Hi mate do you know what this place is called thanks or what area it’s in
U ever heard of the sleeping giants caravan song
I haven't, is it worth listening to?
👍👍🐟🐟🐟🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks for watching mate!
The golden shower didn’t work then 😂😂
Haha keep watching until the end...
Hilarious the last thing I expected to see was a fresh bottle off golden syrup 😂😂 quality bro
Two golden showers!
Maybe more!
Careful with the golden shower comments 😂😂
😂
so they call chalets/cabins caravans now ?
Perhaps my mistake!
Tattershall lakes are just as good 👍
I’ll have to check it out!
Why do you throw them back everytime?
Let them fight another day of course!
Gutted for you losing the big 1!! Looks like a good spot for deadbaiting.🐊
Me too! I bet it would be quite good the bottom is very very weedy though and possible too deep to float fish
I lost my biggest pike last year this one must have been 10kg+ no doubt have a strong rod tip and was dead baiting with it and never have got anything that strong on my line and the wire (dont know english name) but it was 15kg strong, was using a roach about 10-15cm and 7 small floating balls Brighg colors and a weight 20g and line 30cm and the bait was floating in the water works very good! But i know There are monster pike in there saw one take a swan 🦢 2 weeks ago when was baitfishing but this lake is 10km long and 27m as deepest
A shame you lost that big one! I’ve never heard of a pike taking a swan before that must be quite rare 👍
Great vid but why go big predator fishing with a small landing net?
It’s the biggest I have unfortunately mate!
Are you allowed to keep at least 1 fish? or buy it? It would be great to cook that pike on the bbq!
Catch and release only for pike in the UK, not legally but ethically!
george dude slip the net, gutted for you that looked like a cracking fish😥😥😥
Definitely going to need a net upgrade I think! Thanks for watching!
I didn't recognise you George , you have lost 10 years somewhere 😂😂
Haha that will be a trim of the beard, hair cut and a bit of weight lost I reckon!
@@adventurefishinguk Georgia looked stunning , you must be very proud of her 👍
I was surprised that when fishing for big fish, you use a small net. ?????
I think it's about time i upgraded to be honest, thanks for watching!
good fishing George! loving that new rigged and ready rod. Hope you're well mate 👍
Thanks mate, great bit of kit isn’t it! Hope you’re well too and thanks for watching
Why you got a tiny net going for big pike 🤦♂️
I desperately need an upgrade!
Why such a small/short net? It's not like you were hiking up a mountain 🤷🏼♂️
I'm in need of an upgrade for sure!
Sorry pal but that's quite possibly the worst price of angling I e ever seen in 20 years. What were you thinking lol😂 learn from your mistakes . That fish didn't have a clue it was hooked which threw you off confused so I guess playing dead worked for her 🤔😂 1-0 to the pike x great video bro 👊
Haha yeah definitely not my finest moment was it! A lesson learned though. Thanks for watching!
There not caravans bro but nice videos never the less ❤
Thanks for watching mate!
Research the Rivers in the Bible and fish them start with the Jordan lake Galilee and the Dead Sea.
Are we allowed to say where this is?
Unfortunately i'm not able to name where I fish on youtube!
@@adventurefishinguk No worries, thanks
Cursed by the snagged bros
Haha yeah I think so!

Really sorry to hear that mate!

I know… gutted!
@@adventurefishinguk keep going George lad...I bet you won't make the same mistake again ... Good luck buddy.
Can't win every time. Why on earth didn't you stay there? The family could have joined you and you still could have done that meal.
Stayed there a couple of nights mate but checked out and still had a bit of time left on my fishing ticket!
Not going lie that was terrible angling haha wtf was you doing man get net under it ha
😂 I thought if I went to net it it would kick off. Lesson learned!
@@adventurefishinguk 😂 aye
haircut and beard trim..looking dapper
Haha thanks mate I’ve definitely been letting it get a bit out of hand over the last couple of years 😂
Why do you take such a small net for big Pike????
I need a bigger one!
