Good to see local spots alway thought ya were not aloud on that water
Even funnier than the Jurassic Park vid😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂pml here😂😂
Youse lads are my fav UA-cam pikers. First lads with a genuine sense of humour and don't take yourselves too seriously 😂😂. Pity I only discovered you this evening...... Much appreciated from Co Down man 👌
😂😂😂love your imagination 😂😂😂
finally someone gets it!
Great to see you back making videos I’m following your channel for a good while now so I’m delighted your back in the game 😊 and an even bigger bonus to see you interview the man the legend that is Mr Scobie’s a lot of great topics talked about one that grinds my gears is live scope you guys knocked it on the head it’s not real fishing you might aswell download a fishing game and not leave your sitting room anyway rant over as scobie would say 😂 looking forward to part two 👌🏻
What an interesting chat. I too was in my school fishing club and over 30 years later are still really good friends. We fished in the regent house club on the lower bann. Brilliant days. Many fish then big hybrids and bream and lots of gudgeon too and perch. Loads of trout at Portglenone. The river now is an algae filled sewer. Heart breaking. The schools comp at movanagher and portadown too. I once won movanagher match in the mid 90,s with 3.6 kilos of bream. Only me and the next peg caught. 40 plus blanks. Great days of learning coarse fishing. Thanks for the video.
I fished the Bann not that long ago and the Algae was horrendous. Glad you liked the vid. Part 2 coming soon
@@pikingadventures2872 I have been watching scobes yourself and outdoors dave for a long time. 3 very different channels but all enjoyable in their own way. Your channel is probably most similar to my own fishing growing up. Teaching myself how to fish. My grandparents used to take me to the quoile or lower bann or movanagher or ballyhurley lough in portaferry. Sometimes fishing holidays to Enniskillen or cootehill in cavan. They knew nothing about fishing but provided the transport snacks and encouragement. Many happy memories on the bank. I have lived in England for 26 years and have taken my own kids pike fishing or carp fishing. Now that they are teens not so much now. Looking forward to part 2
George from village tackle was working in tight lines last I seen him it still open
yes he was... and I bought the taxidermied Bream off him. It's in my livingroom on the wall. A piece of Ulster Angling history lives on
Lovely video… very natural , you get tired of these UK guys sponsored by Fox etc pontificating on UA-cam
It's the nonsense talk that we really enjoy Scobe
hope you have moved on from weighing in an ikea bag :(
Yes those were the very early days and we understand that's not acceptable
Straight lined by a monster 😢😢😢
Yas are back 🤟😂😂😂
yes were back!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My m8 has one..its like his car alarm goin off..lol..but it works
I am just starting to use bobbers for pike fishing. I have one rod that is a trolling rod with a levelwind reel and one rod that has a spinning reel. Both will be casted and then put in rod holders. Once I cast poles and put in rod holders, should I have reels engaged or should I put levelwind reel In freespool and leave bail open on spinner reel? Also not sure how long I should let pike take bait before reeling. Thanks
Flute, wit, bade. Check!
Great Job man on the pike thanks for the content 😊🙏
I was hoping you would give some advice on rod and reel

Thank you !! very interesting...well done..
I would love to come over and fish with you mate looks amazing, great video very simple and very easy to listen to thanks Jack from Scotland 😎🏴
Had my first 20 outta Muckno october 85 toome point haven.t fished it in years .Had a drive down bout 10 years ago was saddened by what i saw .Total commercialisation of blayney end of lake and no fishing and trespassing signs at the far end . Made me glad gave up fishing of this great lough b.fore all this took place .
What a buffer
We're do you get the permission for that lake
Many years of passion and relationship building
Yo you gotta try the wormz and squirmz jigged off bottom middle and top Jeb rig ,,,texas rig ,,, etc
Boys where have you gone??
Back soon! Stay tuned!
Looking forward to yous getting back on the quest for a 20lber
I love lough erne my ex bf used to take me down fishing that's where I had my first gay experience really improved my sucking skills
You savages, hooking injures these creatures. YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP BOTHERING NATURE. Cruel and barbaric.
Thanks for watching plz subscrb 👍
You're phone does more damage to this planet than these lads
The best thing about pike fishing in Ireland is busting them with a nice big lump of wood after netting. It’s a great local tradition around Lough Mask and Lough Corrib for the whole family to go out for a days pike killing. It’s a great way to introduce young people to fishing and they love getting their hands dirty while controlling vermin.
That’s an f1 not a carp
I think you’re right! I hadn’t even considered that a possibility. Not done a lot of crap fishing so that’s a new one on me. Thanks for pointing that out.
No problem pal
Any new videos coming soon?
Been busy with work and family but will try to get out soon. Miss making videos!
@@pikingadventures2872 Have to say you both make great content want to see yous get you 20lber 🐊🎣🙏🏻
Didn't know Owen Colgan was into his Angling.
You must have missed the signs on the way down to the lough. Muppet.
You bloody wish you’d fished this spot lol
You need to get a left hand wind baitcaster will make your life a lot easier!
Haha yeah I was kicking myself when I got this. Still though I’m well used to it now. Spent an hour lire fishing yesterday with it
Took me a minute but I soon realised where you are in this video i fish here all the time do you still fish here?
That was my first time at that spot but caught plenty from this river at different spots
How do you know that you are at the right depth
If the float won't sit upright it means you're too deep and the weight is on the bottom. Shorten it up by moving the sliding knot closer to the float gradually each cast until your float 'cocks' upright. Then fish just off the bottom for a while and if nothing bites take it up a bit more each time to see if they're midwater or looking up for food instead of down. 👍😉
I use a single hook through the back of a live minnow. I just don't know when to set the hook. I lost about 4 like today because I either set the hook to early or too late. I had a pike gradually take the bobber out, then stop then it started traveling again so I set the hook. Nope didn't work. So I did it later still nothing. Any thoughts? IL going to pick up one of those kits. Get some more hook might help.
Could be that a strike is not setting the hook well. Try simply tightening down until you feel the weight of the fish and gently easing into it. I think that might get the hook to go into the scissors and set better.
Its tricky because nobody likes deep hooks (especially with trebles) but pike tend to play with or nibble the bait before swimming off with it. Also worth noting they have quite hard mouths so you got to set the hook with a bit of force.
Would you not just use a float stop instead of a “knot” 😂🤷🏻♂️
You sure can. This knot can come in handy if you have no float stops though. Just how I leaned years ago... we had no float stops then lol
The number of times I've called my wife to tell her I'll be packing up to come home, only to call my wife an hour later and tell her I'll be on my way shortly😅
If I didn’t have small children to pick up I’d have stayed there all night lol
@@pikingadventures2872 i hear you on that. My boy is finally old enough to do his own fishing and we are out constantly, haha
@@scrollnreel2851 my 4 year old daughter asked me for a pink fishing rod today... looks like I’m in for some good times!
@@pikingadventures2872 🤜🤛
Do you put the float stop on before the bead and float👍🏼
I didn’t use a float stop I just tied a short length of power gum into a stopknot that you can slide up and down the line to adjust.
@@pikingadventures2872 thanks for replying and the vid out for a year im from galway 👍🏼
Good video but you need to lay the fish flat on a surface before injecting air or anything. If you get yourself with that needle, you could put air into your bloodstream and that can be fatal. Be careful mate.
Absolutely right. I'll remake this vid a bit better as that's a really good point.
The water's still fairly cool here in Canada, but this is tempting me to consider getting a pole for the smorgasburg of fish we have here.
Wow! Pole fishing in Canada, what kinds of fish could you catch? Thanks for watching!
@@pikingadventures2872 I am not sure what might bite, but the local ponds have carp,koi, goldfish, golden shiner, bullhead catfish, white sucker, perch, white perch, bullhead catfish, white suckers, round gobies, pumkinseed and bluegill sunfishes, black crappie, largemouth bass pike, and allegedly eels. I got my first pike on dead bait a few weeks ago and plan to fish for carp in the coming weeks. I can also fish Lake Ontario for those species plus Walleye (think Zander), Freshwater Drum and several species of trout and salmon when it's cool enough to bring them within casting distance from shore. It will take me years to figure out all of the spots, but I am going to try coarse fishing tactics this summer for the first time to see how it works over here.
Absolute loved the video Sam. Love your enthusiasm and sheer joy to be out piking! I had problems on a lake near Saintfield Co Down about 20+ years ago with the farmer. He said I was blocking his lane (which I wasnt) and gave me a load of abuse screaming and shouting at me. I was only about 19 at the time and was a bit spooked. Instead of coming to the lake side and asking me to move he phoned the cops straight away. They never asked me to move either. They just phoned my parents who had no idea where the lake was and this was pre mobile days. When I got back to the car he was waiting and was frothing at the mouth. I did catch 5 good pike there but not worth the hassle ever again! In England where I live now you never get this as all the fisheries are either day ticket, club stretches/lakes or are free fishing. Everywhere else is private and definite no go (like most of the river Test). I literally have 5 day ticket pike lakes within 10 mins of my house and about 20+ carp day ticket waters within 20 minutes. In my experience Co Down farmers are very hostile to anglers unlike Fermanagh/Cavan/Monaghan who seem used to it and much more friendly and will even offer to help with a quad for carrying your gear!. So when I am over I just dont fish on any farm land. Unless with permission or pay a day ticket. My friend in Ards has caught loads of very good pike to 18lb this winter in a lake very near you with the farmers permission and a small day ticket fee. I could send you a private message about it if you wish. Strike early, strike often and keep making the videos Sam!
That’s so much for your kind and considered comment. It’s a pleasure to make videos that people enjoy 😊 I don’t normally take risks and I usually have the landowner’s permission. Something about this spot drew me back for a nostalgic visit I couldn’t resist though! I’d be happy to chat further Re the spot you mentioned Sam.best@yandex.com Thanks again!
U r very lucky lad the police r called 2 that spot every weekend now the resident's r fighting with fishermen week after week what ever u do dont park along the road cars r having there windows smashed and tyres sliced farmer up for attempted murder for running over fishermen i seen in the paper. stay safe
Easy E has nothing on us NI pike anglers
@@pikingadventures2872 where have u been m8?
@@clint-1725 been mad busy working raising kids basically. I'll get out again soon. Miss making the videos
Looks a good one mate
You need the reel handle on the other side of your baitcaster, the same as your fixed spooled reels. Try stopping the lure just before it hits the water with your thumb on the spool should prevent a lot of the birds nests. Gd luck keep at it 👍🏻
Haha I totally nailed it during the course of making that video and the trip after. I got most of it on the GoPro and I’ll probably do a video of me going from zero to well... competent. There may be a lot of negativity during the journey and some swearing haha but I got there
Might be a wise decision to get your hands on a left side handle baitcaster with digital cast control (SLX 151 DC, or Curado DC) to prevent any further trouble and birds nests. There‘s nothing better to cast multi trebled plugs and jerkbaits tangle free but a baitcasting reel.
@@Sabaskong I’d love a left side handle bait caster. Good call. I got the hang of it though and covered the improvement in the next vid. ua-cam.com/video/oDNU_58gpdM/v-deo.html
Sam is that the jet ski lake? We went down one day and we seen its private property sign and left and went to another lake. I'm guessing you just need to ask if your allowed to fish it? If so who do we ask?
Where is this lake mate?
Just as a general rule I don't give out the name of the lake or the people to ask or they'd get requests constantly since I'm asked all the time lol. I found the lakes by looking on maps and driving around and I found the people to ask by being cheeky and knocking the door then being charming lol
we used to pike it 30 odd years ago . getting a 20 now days is harder than ever sorry to say.
Proving very difficult to get a natural 20. Seems trout lakes are a better bet
I love that spot.
It’s a special lake alright!
