Hi Thom, how do you deal with weedy venues when Pike fishing if you don't recommend using weedless hooks on baits? Or is that the trade off, fish efficiently by being weedless but expect to not get many good hook sets?
Yes a bit of a trade off. Chatterbaits are very good at going through weed, or fish suspending lures over the top of the weed like a Westin swim, or even try Topwater baits if the weed is right up towards the surface 👍🏻
I’ve only just come across your channel and I’ve learned more in your last 6 videos than I’ve done in 4 years THANKS 👍🏻
Wow thanks for the message Stuart 👍🏻 Really appreciate it. And hope you can now put it in to practice and catch loads more! Keep me updated 👍🏻
really love your short videos with tips & insights!
