Classic example of why I love The Totally Awesome Fishing Show! It's not about using the latest and greatest most expensive gear. It's not plugging products they are affiliated with. It's just straight up fishing and in depth examples of tried and tested techniques. No messing. Really awesome presenting by both father and son, 10 times more fun to watch when you see that they are funny and enjoying themselves too.
Thanks! Really pleased you enjoy the show and thank you for the kind feedback - Mike
To be honest some think this isnt a serious show. BUT i love it. No korda or nash chavs. No need to have a bank loan to fish properly and these guys prove it time and time again. Best UA-cam fishing channel. Keep it up guys fish safe 👍👍👍👍
Watched the video. Rigged up as Graeme did.
Went down the local river for the afternoon and got my 1st one ever 14lbs! Best buzz ever!😉 Cheers!
I love this guy. No tackle bullshit, a rod is a rod and a reel is a reel. Always interesting. Always entertaining. Often funny. Brilliant 👍
growing up without a father while also having a deep passion for fishing was a major struggle, i remember finding your videos and feeling like i still had somewhat of a father figure to teach me all about fishing.
Thank you TAfishing, You really are awsome!
Glad the films might have helped you ,and that's pretty much why I try to keep going with them.
To be honest bud i know what you mean. Although i had my dad he never cared for fishing so when i was younger i had to go through the angling mags, angling times etc for ideas. unfortunately YT hadn't been invented which in a way thinking about it made me a better fisherman i guess..... Anyway great comment 😊
Hi Graeme,
I caught my first Pike yesterday. As ive said before shore fishings my absolute passion but ive tried course now with a new pal whos fly fished for Scotland and really enjoy it at a fab venue. He blanked so it just goes to show that anyone can catch with a bit of effort and determination. It was a good size Jack Pike that i reeled in nice and slow to savour the moment. The hook fell out into the net, and once released he very slowly swam away unharmed and not stressed. I will always remember that catch.
Cheers Graeme,
Steve in Fife.
+Stevie D Congratulations! Pleased you caught and keep at it, it's great fun!
Thanks Graeme,
Watching one of your Pike videos at the moment.
Steve.
This channel is great, no flannel and no tackle or rig fetishism! Keep it simple keep it fun! Totally awesome! 👍
caught my first pike 2.5 l/b today with a small plastic lure from a cheap sports direct predator lure pack
This will help me so much when i go float fishing for Pike!
Thanks for all the nice tipps.
When I started pike fishing about a year ago, I started with the basics of spinning and lure fishing as I find bait fishing very boring, and it's great I've seen plenty of younger kids giving it a go. As long as you have someone with you that knows what they're doing there's no reason why you can't have a good time catching these amazing fish.
Coming from trout fishing this is far more exciting :)
You guys are simply the greatest !
Ali A watches TA fishing ! Respect !
Bloody brilliant . . . Stay Frosty .
Graeme - Can explain to the viewers the dangers of chinning a Pike incorrectly. When i was a youngster i cut my finger to the bone chinning a Pike so, maybe explain in detail how to do it the right way.
Thank you.
Keep up with great content that you provide you are the best Ambassador for fishing i've come across, no fancy promotion just great tips and great fishing.
A great video and some lovely fish. It's great how you were trembling with all your years of experience, but that's why we do it I suppose!
Thank you Graeme! My pike fishing game is at it's best and it's all down to your videos.
carp and sea angler myself but I love watching all of your videos! you're amazing!
Great session Graeme! Wouldn't be surprised to see you reusing that sardine you pinched back of the pike!
Great stuff Graeme
What a lovely session graham, another great video
Brilliant as always ! But i do have a question - why are you guys not on TV ! Looking forward to the next dropshot diary !
UA-cam is every week :)
Great video lads, Glad to see your still doing great! Expecting more Perchy videos Mike ;)
They use baiting needle in central pennslyvaina where I live. They use them on Minnows for trout. It's called a minny rig
Nice knitting 🧶 lesson
Totally AWESOME! Thank you! I've been enjoying very much all you're videos, great job! (and the GoPro in the mouth! crazy!) keep it coming! Cheers!
Thanks Eric
This is exactly what I Was looking for.. THanks!!!
Great Video once again !!!!
cheers !!!
Cheers!
nice vid i use an elastic band on my rod handle pull a loop of line through, that way my real drag is always set and much less flapping around with the reel drag
Looking forward to your ideas on making your own double sized hook.
I done it with whipping and super glue
Thank you, Graeme!
great as always, I'm going to try this ice off happens here in Colorado
were your baits suspended, or were you fishing over depth with the bait on the bottom??
Hahah "let me just get the camera set up!" Next shot he's playing the fish with it in his mouth, class
it's called a bridling needle, the closes thing I've found on the technique is called bridling.
Believe it or not, they use this with elastic bands and live bait out in OZ ans SA.
Anyway, great tekkers on the sardine front - top bait for pike, in my mind, nothing better for them. Sprats aren't bad. Roach too, but thats if I can get them and I don't mind spending.
Once again, great video.
Great video as always and great tips, love watching your shows :-)
Great vid as always i went fishing for tench but they wouldnt bite so moved to a small outlet of the lake to catch small roach rudd and perch i ended up spotting a pike so rigged up a dropshot kit i had and used a live roach as bait i ended up catching a five pound pike instead of the ilusive tench that i still havent caught 😂😂
like you,al video please keep it up . i have fish for along time i have learn a hell off a lot info . keep up the good work.
Great video thanks👏🏻
love the videos! keep em coming! what was the music? loved it. also, amd more importantly could you do a video on how to handle pike safely. im really bothered about harming the fish or myself! i dont want to tear the membrane or harm its gills.
Great video Graeme next pike fishing trip I will put your tips to use by the way what size tokushima reel were you using I'm planning on getting one.
hi greame loving the show just Wondering could u do a fly fishing for pike video...
your videos really are superb
Hi Graeme. Great vid as usual - you've helped me with the lure fishing and now I'm on to dead baiting. Just a quick one please - how far off bottom do you usually go? I see you're twitching it fairly regularly and the fish is moving naturally so I guess you're just off bottom? Also do you use a large plummet I guess to gauge bottom? Cheers.
hi in one of your next videos can you show us how to make the hooks you use when you go pike fishing please
Hi Graham, I see you use the partridge VB hooks. Have you tired the VMC double ryder version. I like them as a replacement for the VB, and will hopefully be able to supply these at reasonable prices in the UK, I presently have to get them from Lithuania. which is a pain. Happy twitching man. Love the videos.
could u explain something : not sure i understand how deep you are fishing? is the bait sat on the bottom ? Thanks great video - cant wait to try and catch my first ever pike....
Also... once that float goes under do u have to really strike or just lift the rod up and reel kinda thing
As an average I like a bait about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom.When the float goes under,maybe a few seconds pause then wind quite fast to take the slack up and when you come up tight just pull back firmly.No need for hard striking.
Thanks so much - am i right in thinking now is not the time to fish for pike ?
now is the time to fish for them October onwards really. I caught two nice jacks on a spinner today
hi guys Im going pike fishing soon what should I do spining or float
+Charlie Thornton-clarke If you are roving then spinning allows you to cover more ground.But if you are deadbaiting you might want to spend more time in working one spot.
+TAFishing ok thanks for the help im going fishing in local damb so thanks for the help and can u try and do more pike vids plz it would help me alot have a nice and thanks for answering my comment
Hi Graeme. Great show as always, but, I know floss is stronger, but why not use bait elastic? Raymondo
TAFishing you should go to Lincoln as there is a 25lb+ pike there
I caught my first pike 28 inch
Great session :)
Hi Graeme is that 'bridle rigging' I heard about that for trolling with live baits. Thank you for solving a problem cos I was restricted to using them frozen at short range
Found out about a free to fish lake today in East Suffolk it's a boating lake very big average depth 3 feet it holds 20lb pike and other fish, can't wait to get out of Ipswich drive the 28 miles to go try your methods. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm in suffolk mate dont suppose youd be able to give any info on this lake you mentioned I'm always up for a new venue thanks mate understand if youd rather not say👍
@@DlZZEE Yes Thorpeness Meare on the Suffolk coast.
A few posh people who live next to the Meare will tell you it's a non fishing lake but don't listen to them as they love control and power.
As long as you have a rod licence you will be ok.
I found out about it from saxmundam angling shop and it's a public lake so ok to fish.
Been twice now it's a big water but not very deep as a boating lake so good for using surface plugs all year round.
Where do you live??
@@DlZZEE Forgot to say I've had pike up to 8lb but will be a lot bigger in the place as it's full of small bait fish that have been put in over the years.
@@davetravelingheritage5403 cheers mate i will check that out. I was in needham market but just moved next to Diss but still go to Needham regularly to fish the river/lakes there. Did you deadbait the lake? That's my preferred method for piking👍 cheers
@@DlZZEE Not used dead bait yet but would be good on a float.
Good luck
Good video why not use bait elastic to hold the bait another little tip is use kids lume bands
Nice video .
What kind of hooks are u guy's using
hola que tal - SALUDOS a todos como he aprendido tecnicas de pesca con ustedes yo soy princi- muchas grasias por las ideas geniales - yo seguire con ustedes mucha suerte
great video!!!!
Are day ticket ponds,lakes better than beening a member of a club
No,I think maybe a club might get less pressure and therefore be a bit more productive.It depends if the club waters have pike in them and how many of the members go pike fishing.
two questions!: do you just let the float stay there without flipping it? and: what time of year? Autumn summer Winter or spring?
+WillyTheWow Should be in the film.Pop the float,pause to let the bait sink,pop the float again. Time of year can be anytime ,especially as Pike are caught in other countries at various times of year.
Another fantastic video Graeme, but you should come to the Scottish highlands and fish for some proper wild pike, not some gravel pit toned down cousin of our pike...
Thanks!
How do we make our own hooks ? video ? Look foreward to it !
If anyone knows, what type of reel is he using?
Can you do a in depth video on chinning pile love to do it but the unhooking part puts me off
Not sure rigging up sardine ‘chinstraps’ is beginners stuff haha, but great tips.
Graham going to be trying this setup mate . I’ve been searching for the partridge double hook , but can’t find like yours. Ones I can find the bait retaining hook sits of at a right angle.
Going to have a bash at making my own . What size hooks would you recommend for both retaining and the main hook ??
Cheers Graham great video and tips
Size 4 main hook,size 6 retaining hook ?? You can make whatever size you want.
I have caught 1.03 m long pike but was not as heavy as other pikes of that size though. I think now is kinda early to expect super fed pikes even with same size :(
Hi, I know this is an older video, the fish in the case on the wall, what does the writing say, it looks just like one my grandad caught, his name is Roberts. Cheers.
What do you guys think about trying the fly rod? It's tons of fun
Awesome
How do you know what depth to put the bait???
Great vid as always Graeme is so full of knowledge. I've seen that carp angler before feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square .... doh what a twat
5:58 nice hand shots
Can I ask when dead baiting is it best to have my treble hooks pointing towards the head or tail thanks ? On fish like mackerel herring etc
Hook points towards the tail as Pike tend to swallow a bait head first.
TAFishing thanks guys
What gram pike float would you recommend for sardines?
Can I still get pike in the summer?
Dizzee Rascalyolo yea.
And how long time took it to Catch the first one?
would a Abu Garcia blue max be ok for float fishing for pike
@TAFishing Hello! I really love your videos! Such amazing quality of advice, and knowledge, combined with awesome entertainment! I just have one question. For these pike, what type of line is good to use for the part where the hooks attach? Should it be more thick than the main line? I'm asking because I thought pike had teeth that may be able to bite through the line if it's not of a certain type... In any case, what fish would you deem a Wire leader necessary for? I'm wondering because I want to be prepared for anything! If you could help out, that'd be so great! Thanks!
+Filip Bahunek Always wire for Pike.Cabled,or twisted strands are better than single strand.Then about 12/15lb for your reel line. Around 40cm or wire should be good.And long nosed pliers or long nosed forceps for getting the hooks out.Work quickly unhooking as Pike are not a hardy species out of water.
Definitely use at least 20lb line although 15 is enough if you are not targeting huge pike. Good luck
Aaron Graham Well, the pike caught in this video are quite huge! and if 15lb is good enough for those, then 15lb is good enough for me. However, recently, I got some really good line on sale that is 17lb, so I will most likely be using that. In any case, thanks!
Hi Graeme, could you please tell me who Makes and where can I get those Double Hooks from?
I used to get them from Berkley, I think they’ve stopped Manufacturing them they used to be know as VB’s,
Always like watching your Videos Mate keep em coming, Tight Lines🎣👍
Mine were VB's,I believe Vic Bellars,a Pike fisherman popularised them.I had mine from Partridge of Redditch..No idea who markets them now.
@@TAFishing sorry Graeme i meant Partridge they and Eagle Claw Hooks we’re my choice and Berkley supplied me with My Mono and Braids, Tight Lines.🎣👍
My first pike was a fluke i put spinner in let it drop to the bottom and out popped a five pound pike 😄
Great vid! Itching to catch a pike now.
Don't know if I missed it, but I didn't hear what depth you set the stop knot at? Were you fishing near the bottom, or does it not really matter?
I like about one third the way off the bottom,whatever the depth.
Looked like a croc or alligator when the pike was on the surface
I mainly use sardines but i always chop thr head off.
Thanks for the reply. As I don't like the idea of using treble hooks and not being able to source Partridge vb hooks, I have cut off one of the trebles and bent the remaining two hooks to form a back to back similar to the VBs, only difference is that they are both the same size hooks. Would this be okay to use? Would really appreciate your advice on this method.
Two hooks should be easier for removing than three.
Today I lost two nice pike on, float / sardine. Sunday I am going to do exactly as you have shown here.
Hello, you advise hook points towards the tail, but in the video, your hook points look like they are pointing towards the head. I am just starting pike fishing and would be greatful if you could advise.
When twitching a bait head first hookpoints towards the head as that is the tow point.For static deadbaiting hookpoints towards the tail.That's what I have always done and it works for me.I think you will find it is fairly standard.
@@TAFishing what was the name of the lake you're fishing in this video
Thanks.
How do you plumb the depth of your swim and what depth do you choose it fish at? I would like to know this as im new to pike fishing, thanks.
You could plumb the depth if the water is new to you.I just fish it 1/4 or 1/3 off the bottom depending on water clarity
TAFishing thanks and great vid
nice
Hello mate hook set up have u got a video showing how to make erm
There should be one in the playlist,but with well over 700 films up I can't remember where it is...type into the search totally awesome fishing how to make a pike trace ?...or just scroll through our Pike films.
What rod is that
I've never seen that double hook before. What is it called and where can I buy some? I live in the US and there is no baitshop that sells those hooks! I checked Ebay and couldn't find any. Also, what's the name of that float that you used and where can I buy some? Thanks!
treble hooks
@@DlZZEE e
Wonder if the carp angler caught any seagulls?
Hi Graeme. How far off the bottom are you holding the Sardine ? Thank you.
Should be dragging through about a foot off the bottom,or a foot above any weed.
TAFishing Great Stuff. Thanks a mill. Robert.
has mr pullen got a fish scale stuck to his head??? 15:30. good video even so! :)
Hahaha yes he does.
. Really good and informative video as always. My question to you is on my reel I have 10lb mono. Is this to light?
You can catch Pike on 10lb mono (with a wire trace) but to get a better hook set it would be better to use braid which has very little stretch in the line
+TAFishing Thank you.
TAFishing thinking of going pike fishing in a very deep lake (around 50m deep) this half term. Do you have any advice for fishing in deep water with a lure?
Concentrate on the dropoffs,weedbeds or structure. Baitfish will be near these,followed by the pike.I rarely catch much out in the middle of very deep water.
TAFishing Ok, will do. Thanks! After seeing your lure vs dead bait video I may try some float fishing with dead bait as well haha
would sand eels work as a deadbait for pike fishing?
Yes I have used sandeels before, generally they catch the jack pike, you might want a slightly bigger bait to target the bigger fish
Thats good, sand eels are easier for me sardines are to soft and i will never remember how to sew as you demonstrated in the video, thank you for replying
Hi what reels do you use thanks
In that particular film it was a Tokushima 7500 and another called an ETX 70 I think.
Hi Graham, was this a roving rig ?
I guess so.I says in the film to keep moving the float,and there's a shot showing the float moving through the frame.
so not fished on the bottom then ? cheers
ORIGINALINDIVIDUAL Better for the bait to drag through either a foot off the bottom,or a foot above any weed that might be present.If it starts to drag in the weed you then know to shallow it up until it drifts over the top.
Thanks for the tips Graham tight lines mate
Basically 3 doubles in 1 small session is alright
