Big Pit Piking
You join me today in the county of Royal Berkshire on one of my club waters, where I will be targeting pike at a big 20 acre gravel pit. This lake has a few pike in it, not massive pike but the lake is usually good for a bite or two. We are now in the month of December with temperatures at 10c with a cold westerly wind and cloudy conditions making it not a bad day to go in pursuit of pike. Join me as I show you how I go about fishing these big pits, using a good old favourite tactic of mine ledger dead baiting. In this video I will show you how I use dead baits and how I set up my end tackle and rods. So join me for a piking adventure where I catch a few and loose a few. These videos are filmed as they happen on the day, bringing you a bit of an experience on how I go about my angling, hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy bringing my angling adventures to you. 😊

    Lovely chub! Great videos, too, and I subscribed recently after discovering your channel. I’ve only been with FAS for one season and hoping to try the Loddon for the first time in the near future - your content has been really helpful, even if this particular one is a good few years old now! Many thanks and tight lines 🎣🐟

    Thoroughly enjoyable, the best catch of my life had just gone up to bed, so that's a mug of tea and a plate of toast for me whilst enjoying your fishing! I recently showed my grandson how to use a bait dropper on the river Adur down here in Sussex, he'd never heard of them before,🤔 but, he did like the idea of them once he'd seen them!🤫👍👍👍👍👍

  • @martinklein4651
    @martinklein4651 9 місяців тому

    Nice to see you back Dave, some lovely chub. And the Roach was a beauty too. One thing I would say though, most anglers when they catch large fish, tend to say it's a female. But apart from Tench and Pike, I don't think you can tell the difference. Bream in the breeding season is another. I could be wrong.

    I noticed in previous vids you weighed your catch with the rueben heaton 9000 scales and now you use korum...I've just bought the ruebens mate after looking at mixed reviews...whats your thought on them dave.

    • @chasingshadows-ananglingob2295
      @chasingshadows-ananglingob2295 11 місяців тому

      HI Kev, to be honest I had no problem with the Ruebens until they gave up on me after about three years of use. I do find the Korum better and more forgiving. I lost my tackle bag in the River Wye with my Korums scales in it, however after dragging it out of the river the korums still worked! and i do give them a good workout using them recommend

  • @davewalker2167

  • @matthewharding6245
    @matthewharding6245 11 місяців тому

    Another enjoyable video. Interesting that you use a hair and a bolt rig for Chub fishing, that's not something I would have ever considered. I was always told that hair rigs don't work for Chub. It clearly does though so I will have to give it a go. Thanks

    • @kevt7931
      @kevt7931 11 місяців тому

      A long hair if you was using for barbel don't really work, chub are renown for holding the bait and hesitating before the take...hence the shorter hair nearer the hook and the bolt affect.

    Hi Andrew, they are sticky baits krill, soaked in a hot chorizo sauce with some boilie crumb sprinkled over them. Unfortunately, the boilies I was using was a little too soft as the kray fish were destroying them in minutes. That krill is a harder bait. Thanks for watching..😊
