- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- These underwater videos have changed our way of pike fishing forever.
In this video, we will test different ways to catch pike with dead bait. We will start with dead bait on the bottom, compare bottom bait with floating bait, and use small pieces of floating bait. The results speak for themselves. We learned a lot and would love to share our insights with you.
Do you always wonder what is going on underwater while you are fishing? We will show what is actually happening under the surface and promise you that it is a lot more than you can imagine.

Absolutely cracking footage, gents - well done! I've seen a lot of fish behaviour underwater - and it's not uncommon for female pike to pair up and stay together for prolonged periods (months/years) on 'their' territory - which is why it's always worth another cast when you're resting a big fish. Her sister is often close by. Another really great video - so interesting to see them so cautious and interested in the camera (they can pick up the electrical pulses which is why they come for a look) - really appreciate you guys for making and sharing this stuff! Great content guaranteed every time - thanks!
Thanks for you comment! Really interesting👊
If it was spring, they were a mating pair. Smaller one is the male. Pike will eat anything, alive or dead. This video was not necessary.
@@deadpanfish Come on. This surely is necessary footage. If pike in spring would eat anything, like you say, they would not hesitate to eat a whole deadbait. In this vid you can see what a difference it can make to use different sizes of deadbait and how to get more interest in the bait you are using. Best deadbait pike footage I've seen untill now 👌
Mooie beelden. Alleen een vast lood systeem werkt niet met doodazen. Altijd een vrij loop systeem gebruiken zonder weerstand. Een vis of stuk vis met een pop up gewoon een paar loodjes eronder voelen ze niks van.
Vrij loop systeem gaan we binnekort zeker meer mee doen!
On still waters I've started using inserted balsa sticks to critically balance it and NO weight at all !! ...
I use a baitboat to "cast" and I fill the boat hopper with chopped free offerings to increase scent...
😎👍☘️🍺
Idd snoeken voelen meteen weerstand 😆
Nice sharing the video 🎉❤😊
Thanks
Thats great! How do you manage to get your dead bait float? also do you add a a bobber?
I feel there is only 1 thing to say here. BALSA WOOD.
Great video what are you using to keep the bait up?
I'm wondering the same thing.
It’s attached to the line and a hook with a weight on the bottom

Great stuff! I enjoyed watching this video :)
Adembenemende beelden, dat hebben jullie super goed gemaakt, thanks
Bedankt!
Great images !
Gonna help me for sure.
What did you use to make your bait float ?
Thnx, bonsa sticks
I tried Balsa sticks following your commentary. It works great but after half an hour the wood takes water.
Do you use a waterproof kind of stick or something special ?
Thx
Awesome footage! Where I live pike are considered invasive predators, some areas actually had bounties on them, 5-10$ a head. There is no limit on them and actually illegal to release them alive back into the water. For quite a few years we would catch many pike on dead bait under a large weighted bobber. We would suspend the fish 1/3 off the bottom in a horizontal presentation. Worked very well, we would let them swim around for a few minutes allowing to get a good hookset. Very tasty fish smoked, grilled and pickled!
Where do you live?
considering pike invasive is crazy
Living in Canada it's crazy to think that pike are invasive in certain places around the world. They thrive in very harsh conditions and generally coexist with so many other species without causing problems that would lead to a bounty on them! Curious as to where you live that they are invasive and such a problem. We have a massive issue with Persian carp in Canada, killing many of our lakes and all the vegatation
@@gowancolley7619 I live in Washington state. Pike and Walleye have both become apex predators in quite a few areas. Specifically the Columbia River system and all tributaries. They were not considered a problem because those in charge did not think they would be able to spawn in the fluctuating river levels and ignored sightings and catch reports of them. They were wrong. They found the pike would hold their eggs until conditions were viable for hatching, from what I understand anyway. Coeur d'Alene ID also had quite the bounty program a while back and took drastic measures to lower their numbers, manually removing them with shock boats and nets. From what I understand both species numbers exploded in these environments because they were loaded with native food fish, decimating the populations in some areas. The snake river in lower Wa/Or/ID also has seen Walley numbers rise, not sure about Pike down there though.
What kind of bait did you use
Very nice video! Well done!
Great and informative video. Really enjoyed watching. Thx
Beautiful shots👍
It would have been interesting to see if a bait of fish on the bottom would still have been lying at the spot the next day
Good question, I have not checked it this time...
what a video....well done guys....I am speechless.....just small question.....WHAT THE HELL did you put inside that fish so it can float?? :D:D:D:D:D
If the first bait had been horizontal the pike would have takenn it 🎣
We made so much mistakes, but we keep learning 💪
@@Underfishing I have had 2kg pikes take Savage Gear 4D Line Thru Pike 48cm 820g !!!!
So no bait is to big for pike 😁
@@Freedeeism There is a big difference between a reaction strike on a lure, and picking up a bait.
@@simonspencer397 I know that. Ive been fishing pike for 25 years. But that little roach or whatwvwr it was is just a little snack for that pike
@@Freedeeismpikes can eat thing up to 60-65% thier lenght. Catfish just up to 18-25%.
Nice video,just came across you guys.... new sub here
Hele mooie beelden! Wat hebben jullie gebruikt om het doodaas te laten drijven?
Je kunt het beste balsa sticks gebruiken
Dank je wel voor jullie reactie! Hoop snel weer mooie beelden van jullie te mogen zien.
What did you use top get the bait to float?
Try balsa wood👊
Nice 😊
Great footage. What camera do you use to film underwater?
We use this setup: www.carpcam.eu
@@Underfishing Thank you, I appreciate it.
Thanks..Fascinating!
This is so valuable actually
Smart fish will not fall into the trap 😄
The physical contact is a Jack on the larger female. Is this your first time pike fishing? Good footage though
Perch minnows are a surefire method to catch pike. Pike like perch like my sister likes Reece's peanut butter cups. Yes!
They like live perch the best!.
How did you get the piece of fish floating?
You can use balsa wood👍
Great footage, but for me your trace is way too short, not only for the safety of the pike but for being able to control the presentation. You can see the pop up used was too strong, it's needs neutral presentation to allow the baits tail to remain low yet not pop up the bait to strongly, it needs movement, and making your traces longer at around 18" will help you balance the rig, give more free movement to the bait when it's blown up and the longer trace will help prevent break offs should the pike spin the rig around it's snout and mouth the braid/line.
Hope that helps ❤
here in NY , pike and pickerel take live 8 inch rock bass ...if the pike wanted that bait, it'd take it right in
Hello sin chào bạn cá to quá bạn ơi mình rất thích video này của bạn nhiều lắm à 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks!
How were you able to make the dead bait float.
Bonsa sticks
Balsa wood
🙌🎣
👊
Nice work!
All pike rigs should be free running but ur fishing a carp rig on a lead clip with a single carp hook.. That has not helped at all. Try a single trebble on a small bait free running.
Thnx!
The fishing advice to man small hooks for river;
Get the dead bait to float side on in a natural position rather than upright.
Would of had a bite a lot sooner
Does deadbait even work for pike in Ontario (let alone, North America)? I tried it several times, absolutely no luck.
In America fish are very competitive so im surprised you dont catch with deadbait.
I found that using a small bobber and small bait works best in difficult to fish waters.
try a sliding weight because it will still sink a bobber when a pike is taking it and it lets the pike move the fish around easier while it tries to readjust the fish to it can eat it right
Just caught a monster today while dead baiting, I usually use lures but it was storming so I was going back & forth under cover and I thought might as well throw this perch out and on my bait check retreat BAM nice fight.
Can the Polish anglers please put oor pike back. We don't eat them. Catch n release. I mean the bait you use is surely tastier than a pike. Cheers 🏴🇬🇧🤝
In the Netherlands you now find carp and pike heads because eastern Europeans dont get we only do catch and release in freshwater
Nejspíš je neumíte připravit - uvařit...😮
@pop9164 no comprende
Pike is good fish to eat what u want?
@krazy3217 I will pal... I'm talking about Scottish waters, put them back and leave some for us to catch
Works great through the ice I scale one side in the ice hole then drop.
Put it on a running rig?????
Why not? You only need a fishing rod with a slightly sensitive tip so that you notice when you have a bite before the pike does.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
👊
A running lead and a baitrunner reel to allow the pike to feel no resistance is the best way...
😎👍☘🍻
How do you get cut bait to float
Put something with a positive buoyancy inside it, like certain tipes of wood.
How many pounds was that pike?
It is winter so the mating season is close depending on where you live this can happen earlier or later in the Spring. The smaller ones are males who wait for the moment when the bigger females lay thier eggs. This will happen in a little tail whip where the female scatters the eggs in some underwater plants. Also it is forbidden at least in Germany to fish for pike in the Winter, because they are breeding.
Hello friend, I would like to know how you managed to get the bait to stay suspended on the bottom, how do you get it to float?
Wine bottle cork, dependable on the size of the bait. Big bait-big cork or more than one cork, smaller bait you cut the cork to fit. You test it in the water to see if it floats before casting it. I don't fish for pike nor did I used this method ever but it is a logical and simple solution. Try to be innovative don't just rely in what others do, it feels 10 times better when you solve the problem yourself.
nice
If the bait was hung horizontal instead off vertical, the pike would have consumed it more readily.
MY DAD CAUGHT PIKE WITH DEAD BAIT 60 YEARS AGO!!!
Awesome!
Want a medal?
@@simonspencer397 sure do simple Simon LMAO 🤣
HEARD THAT IT WAS THE PIKE HOW CAUGHT YOUR DAD WITH DEAD BAIT
Maybe next he should teach you to turn caps lock off
очень круто, молодец что отпустил красавицу
WHY IS IT ON UNDER WATER FOOTAGE IT SEEMS THE FISH ARE INTRIGUED BY THE CAMERA?
Interesting right?
Gracias recipes of women;
When u use a smaller piece dead bait how do u keep it up ? Bc i dont see a pop up or balsa stick..
Place a smaller balsa stick in it
Very much like the kebab rig
This is only effective on still water not ever still water has pike in try this technique on a flowing deep river I guarantee you wont catch a thing I've tried and tested this for many years on rivers with little gain so to say this is the best way to catch is weong.
Useless hooking arrangement that. You need two trebles one at the head and one at the tail. Not a single hook. Amateurs
Thnx man. We always test different ways to see underwater what really happens. Your welcome👊
think about it, in our country in most waters only single hooks are allowed, pro !
Or you wont; Hercules State of The obvious assessment; yoga women
Do you reckon having the bait elevated, just those few inches is what made the difference?
