Met this man today at the opening day for my local fishing shop and honestly he is the most civil and down to earth lad stood chatting him for 10-15 mins and he was explaining everything and showing good interest in sharing his knowledge thanks again for that buddy 🎣
That was hard going alright ..🙄 Those dropped runs are more soul-destroying than not getting any bites at all !!... 😂 I'm on a fishin break at the moment, I had around 15 blank sessions from mid november through all december, not even a jack... fishing 5 or 6 different venues (all bank deadbaiting) ... I needed to step away before I totally lost my motivation. I'll go back at the start of february, in the meantime, its you and other YT pikers who keep my spirits up... Keep on keepin on, lads !! (BTW... thanks for not having the music blaring like some do...and nice drone footage) Tight lines 😎👍☘️🍺
Cheers Peter. 15! That's a hard one to take! And I bet if you went out with a friend and said we will spend the day fishing and not care if we catch, you would have great pike to the bank. Cheers for the music complement. I did make a mistake on one part but do try.
Where do ye get water so calm?! I was on corrib yesterday and even though light winds there were waves. Do you think around islands with cover is good tactic for dead bait fishing or do you prefer open water?
There was very little wind that day. I wouldn't go on a lake like that if there was much wind. A river section would be a better option in that case. around islands can be good but each lake is different, its more depends on what the water is like beside the islands if its a deep hole or all shallow.
Legal amount is 2 each and there is 2 of us ! Maybe check regulations and get onto the ifi if you have an issue. If two rods go it's one each obviously! And if 3 goes you hook into both so the pike can't swallow it.
That is the case with circle hooks for sure, But what iv found without a good hookset you ultimately loose more fish easing into the strike, But i suppose each to there own and enjoy the fishing. Thanks for the comment :)
@@freak.fishing yeah, I agree... I've not bought into the current fad of circle hooks, I read elsewhere that fighting a fish whilst the hook is embedded in the hinge of the jaw may in fact NOT be very good for the fishes health either...we just don't know... My "bible" for all things piking is Jens Bursells fantastic book "Pike Fever" ... his analysis of rigs and bait presentation are sublime, deffo worth the price... The main takeaway from his writings on deadbaiting is smaller hooks and super-light bait hook-holds, leave the bait elastic to the sea anglers, shedding the bait on striking is the key... and his "sliding rigs" are a paradigm shift in rig design in my estimation... very technical.. 🤔

@freak.fishing you're a gent with the replies ryan. Do you do guiding?
@@rflood cheers ronan, I don't do guiding no sorry
Why you got all th m rods out ??? If two or three go the pike are deep hooked and dead !!!!
Legal amount is 2 each and there is 2 of us ! Maybe check regulations and get onto the ifi if you have an issue. If two rods go it's one each obviously! And if 3 goes you hook into both so the pike can't swallow it.
Better if you ease into the strike not yank it better hook up
Let fish hook isn't self

Nice fish, I had a day like that last week, could hook nothing, ended up blanking, I agree with Marko on the tea😂
@@pauriccox2153 one of them days, as for the tea side ! We can no longer be friends 😅😅
