Searching the City Relentlessly - Urban PIKE Fishing LONDON ft. Karens & Security
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2021
- In this episode, I spend several days searching the city for the big predators inhabiting its urban waterways.
Big things await, well worth the wait, and while I do so I must face the many obstacles London can present, when one heads out in the urban wild seeking what is not meant to be found.

Its so suprising to me how many people dont understand fishing
City folk don't understand nature without fisherman the rivers would all be polluted and fishless
Couldn't do city fishing. I would get pissy with all the repeat questions and people getting in the way lol
Absolutely. There are very few spots where I regularly get interactions from passers by, can't be doing with cities 😅
Any luck mate
I'd end up throwing them in the water lol
I’d have to agree there, it would drive me mental! I wouldn’t be able to keep my cool and I’d end up telling a Karen to get fucked 😂 some people are so stupid they just can’t be reasoned with
How things have changed in regards to fishing, when I fished in and around East London no one gave a damn, now it's full of nosey busy bodies, such a bloody shame.
And half aren't even from this this country the UK really has become something sad
I find it amazing that people in London don't understand fishing
By leaving the fishing spots all your doing is reinforcing their belief that they're right. You should stand your ground more.
Cool vids though mate, some lovely fish 😉👍
Your obvious passion for angling, along with your calming voice and narration style makes for great viewing. Well done.
This is the problem with urbanites. They are absolutely clueless when it comes to hunting fishing and farming. They will absolutely jump up-and-down and pitch a fit because you're fishing but turn right around and go order fishing chips having no clue where the fish comes from.
I live in a small Essex village with a small river at the bottom of my garden and I feel blessed with what I have, but seeing these videos give me a big smiles as I know that you find peace in what you do.........BUT..........people are people and I can tell you that I piss a few people off by fishing with my son on public waters :( Why do these people have nothing better to do than make it hard for us to enjoy a simple loving life. Sending my best.....keep posting because I'm watching bro :) TY
Overcast in London always, here’s a tip if you choose to listen or not up to you but toss a popper, plus it’s more fun
dude uses a swimbait in the gnarliest conditions. i tip my hat to you good sir. if you ever make it across the pond, you have honorary access to my tacklebox. Cheers from the
US
I am staggered by all the hassle you get trying to fish, it's a traditional past time in England, how do people in London not understand? I'm sure with an environment agencies license you can fish anywhere providing you have access to the land etc, I feel lucky to live in the countryside.
I'm pretty sure the great John Wilson would have fished the same waterways as you
You get hassle for anything these days, no matter what you're doing, someone out there is going to have an issue with it. In this case it's just one of the many obstacles you can expect to encounter when seeking what I was after in this episode. However, you'll also find that most of the time it's definitely worth it! Tight lines🤘🏼
Hey man, I'm really liking the narrative you've added to your videos. It adds a documentary-esque feel to your videos, gripping the viewer closer by each passing second. Really great stuff 😃👏🏼🔥
I used to do a lot of street photography and had security trying to move me on all the time too. A good tip is to look at the pavement outside of that property. If you see a row of flat metal studs running parallel to the front of the building, they are boundary markers. Security are entitled to ask you to leave the property if you are inside the boundary. If you step outside of them then they have no right to tell you what to do. Also bear in mind most security guards are not well trained by their employer and may not be aware of how this works. Hope that's useful info for you. Tight lines!
Thanks for sharing such an incredible experience with the rest of us. It is so unfortunate people don't get it that fish is usually put back ..its annoying when people are just being a pain. More exposure and enlightenment to many may help in the future 😆
You're most welcome! I intend to keep sharing them, although not for them to keep featuring unlikeable characters such as some of the ones I encountered in this episode.
That pike down the ladder was a chunk!
Keep up the good work and ignore the Karens they need to moan at people to make themselves feel better in their boring existence.
Top dangling bro
I love the canal system in England.
Iv never seen so many anti fishing folks
Love the passion you clearly have for angling 👌🏻👍🏻 Your calmness with the ‘you can’t fish here Brigade’ is admirable 👏🏻
Mystery is my greatest motivator..love it👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you! 🎣🤙🏻the passion has no limit, and I'm sure many here can relate haha, every situation deserves a calm approach in order to be dealt with correctly so I do my best. Mystery is motivation 🙌🏻🌌
I’m so thankful I live in America. In all but a couple states in America no one can own the water if there is a public access.
Good on you ,for having a good try ,you know ,your rights of fishing , love the captures ,on the great thames .
Desde chile, buen hombre buen pescador👍
Thank you for sharing your quest for big inner city pike. It was very interesting for me seeing the landscape, waterway and your determination. Nice work on the revival. Cheers from Los Angeles, California. Keep having fun and tight lines!
What a fun-loving bunch of grasses those residents are. Clearly nothing going on in their wealthy world. Good fishing to be had there with the pike.
Excellent tape. It still really, really annoys me when ignorant passers-by assume that you're going to take the fish away. Keep up the brilliant work.
Excellent,the way you treat the fish and troublesome people with respect 👍
Very well made video and excellent narration. That last fish was a beauty. Congratulations.
What an incredibly professional video; you have a really calming voice, perfect for documentary narration.
I remember catching my one and only pike when I was around 14, many, many moons ago. It was totally accidental and I thought I was reeling in yet another tonne of pondweed. It was only when I was about to grab the weed to remove it from my hook when it jumped (which made me jump even more!) to reveal a young pike. I seriously didn't fancy de-hooking that mini-monster after seeing its teeth, certainly nothing like the perch and roach I was used to bringing in. :D
This really was a great video to watch, thanks for the upload.
I think your videos are great and they inspire me to get out to the urban spots in my city for pike and perch! Hopefully you return with some more action, I'm going to have another run through of your channel in the meantime 😁
Something very unique about this young man
Brilliant mate! The Sherlock Holmes of UA-cam fishing 😁👏🏻
Thank you!! Now there's a new nickname haha I like it 🙌🏻
Fantastic videos mate my haunts from 65-1983 although there was no way to seek peace around the concrete jungle destination Hertfordshire even at the young and innocent age of eleven the train journeys were worth it and I was rewarded by the early 1980s I found myself in another world for me it was heaven with unused water mills miles of uncharted rivers I found myself in Norfolk
Thanks bud, those do sound like good old days, but remember peace goes where you take it, and you'll often go out in search of it on the bank only to find it's been there with you all along (until it's broken by those who challenge it, but then again it's up to you to defend it)
Tight lines 🤘🏻🎣 all the best
over 6 million anglers in the UK and you have a foreigner telling you, you can't fish, So sad what Britain has become.
Its disgusting mate
Would it have made any difference if it had have been a Pearly King (incorrectly) telling him he couldn't fish?
Another top video despite the urban warfare . You have to relate to many jobsworth people and selfish residents, they should get a proper life.
mate im not a fisherman anymore keep going its great to see someone who cares doing no harm enjoying themselves good luck mate
Thank you, and oh no! May I ask how that came to be? I hope all is well!
yes mate quite simply life took over sadly, i used to fish in spain for big rays and ive fished the gulf of mexico which was amazing im enjoying the energy of your channel and i love the way that you dont bite when dealing with the idiots and jobs worths surely they can see you are doing no harm and leaving no trace ? keep well j
Outstanding effort! Gréât finish! Nice vid.
Put ffing headphones on - after you inform them that you're doing nothing illegal and they should call the police if bothered. Then, headphones on - and ignore while casting them an occasional eye on case they get extra lippy.
Exactly.
Hi I am big fan you don’t know how much you inspired me to fish more I love when you catch urban carp keep up the good work big fan
That's great dude thank you, and I sure will 🎣🤙🏻
Well done you really earned that last pike. Nice one !!
Thank you bud, I certainly hope I did 😆 it felt all the more special
Love your new editing style. Keep up the good work
Thank you that's great to know 👌🏻 I sure plan to 🎣🎬
@@theHorizonLiner are the pike spawning where u are ?
@@theHorizonLiner You make me wanna fish more and more
Great content as always, I noticed you changed the format slightly on this one more of a narration than the usual in action commentary, I like it 👍
Thank you! Happy you like it, I deprived myself of the outdoors for several days to get this one out as soon as I could 😆 I think I'll be including narrations in most episodes from now on 👌🏻
Like the story either 👍 Thanks for the video 📹
Just subbed cracking channel. If ever you get sick of fishing you could easily earn major money doing voice overs your voice is incredible. Your patience with the Anti fish brigade is commendable.
Nice vid keep them up I have been waiting for the next one finally
Thank you, I intend to 🙌🏻🎬
Nice I have made my own fishing you tube channel
Great fishing,
Proves that perseverance pays.
Hey dude, I hope this helps you. So there is a law and I mean law, that if you have a fishing licence you have rights to fish all public waters. Now, you can put up all the signs in the world, but if the water is public LEGALLY you can fish it, they might moan, they might not like it BUT that does not change the law. If the water is private however then do not fish it, as this legally constitutes theft. Yes theft as you have “taken” the fish from the water. The fish belong to the land owner. If the land is private but the water is public, then you can get in trouble for trespass but not for fishing cos again the water is public. It really annoys me seeing these stupid people who don’t know the law. It’s worth brushing up on it as whenever I have these encounters I enjoy pointing out the law rather than the theory.
Job done bro.I saw him there many times.congratulation.
Quality video mate 🤙🏻🎣
Thank you dude 🎣🤘🏻
I'm a fisherman that no longer fishes due to health issues. I will have a go again when I get a bit better. But I feel for you with the restrictions, Recently I had a thought to go to the flashes by the River Weaver. Near to the swing bridge. Since I was a boy 40 years + I could get to the little over spills of the river. As my mobility became a problem it was one place I could take my lad because I could drive to it. Get out of the car and fish by it. Now there's a gate across the track. No access. Just a sign saying no vehicles are allowed . That's one of the few easy places where I thought I could fish. There is another place a pit locally that I've fished over 50 years. Its fairly hidden away but i'm actually scared to go to see it , in case its filled in or out of bounds or what ever. I used to fish at Hatchmere lake and then the Prince Albert Society. I had arguments to join so I could fish in a lake I'd fished in since a lad. I did Join with £££'s member ship. To fish maybe 4 times in a year. Each time we were there I was asked if I was allowed there. One time we went up and they had put a fence up , despite showing them the membership. They would not open the gate or the Fence. Fellow society members. I was a member at this point. I didn't rejoin a second year. I found the club to be unfair to locals where every they went. Now as a member of the public I can not get to parts of the lake I used to as they have fenced it off for the few. There's no need for it. Every Sunday there were wild swimmers that swam there. They stopped that. It is something that had happened for 100 years. Family Picnic areas , RC Boats - all stopped for a few people who are fishing. That's not the problem its the few not sharing with the many. I am told the Prince Albert Society does good work and I expect they do, but I was not impressed with how they operated myself. At the time I thought I'll go the flash if my Grand kids want to fish. They don't have to go where I did as a kid. Turns out that is now gated to vehicles too. A right of way still exists for on foot. But I'm unable to walk that far. It was so handy as well. I always bought my rod licence , obeyed the legalities. But like an minority sport , the many like to take time from watching reality TV to stop other peoples fun. I could not do what you do and stay calm. For my condition I take steroids. I can go a bit Incredible Hulk and so avoid stress and confrontation. I am would not want to suffer the anxiety and anger that I would probably feel. Enjoy your videos. Keep fighting the 'man'. Well done
Pike are very lovely fishes, everyone is different.
If you had rope and at the end tie 3 lengths of string with cheap little carabiner clips you can undo net from pole and turn it into drop net and simply clip it together when needed. Get the right rope and just keep it in the bag. 👍👍👍😁
Throwing you a sub just for all the crap you put up with. I'm in the states, east coast, we get hassled every now and then but not comparable. Appreciate your passion!
I've watched smallmouth and northern chase for regurgitated bait. Occasionally had following pike strike hooked pike too.
I'd love to try the savage gear rat down there .Great vid bud
Nice footage mate.
Mate I was born in London Tower Bridge but we moved to sudbury suffolk best thing we did and more so the fishing is great mate but keep up the good work
My cousins lived in wapping and moved to Sudbury too
Lol, the stour isn't as good as it used to be, the otters have ruined it, bures is good if you have LAA membership, I live just up the road from Sudbury, tight lines
Great video mate, well done
Thank you! 🎣🤘🏻
Oh man you’d have so much fun here in Greece every one is cool with fishing nobody messes with you while you fish and there are lots of small and big ports you can fish both with bait and lures
Nicely done... navigating it adroitly ...in the urban jungle...that last fish looked a bit of a character..yea Mandy is the time I walked a fish to those vital access points...
Do you ..as far as I am informed ..if a farmer owned the land on both sides of any given river....he has no direct ownership if the river bed and the water flowing through it.....
Fantastic last fish 👍🏻
What I usually do is take printed copies I have of the authorities to contact in regards to the waters I fish. Any Karen's or people that say its illegal etc I pass them the numbers and let them know these are the people to contact and they'll let them know the laws and also enforce them. I also let them know theyll be wasting 45 minutes to an hour doing so......they usually leave without taking the numbers
Ha ha my new favourite thing this channel
Love your videos bro,pike are such delicate creatures despite there mean appearance
Great vid mate. Don’t understand all them Karen’s but it is what it is 😂 surely you can fish in that last place where security came due to it being common land
Thank you! Who _does_ understand those people?! 😂 all these places where people moan about "no fishing" are completely public and accessible to anyone. They just have nothing better in their lives to do than interfere in other people's.
@@theHorizonLiner Lots of people moaning about youngsters sitting behind their computers or game consoles all the time and not getting out in the fresh air when they do show some initiative and learn a bit about nature they are hounded, they can't win.
may i suggest u get a pier basket net with a rope for those elevated places that u cant reach with ur own net... i use them when im fishing a spillway about 20 feet above ... might make ur life much easier that way
Just came across your channel. I'm in the states and I was curious as to why people there have so many issues with you guys fishing? I know of people fishing in canals and city ponds all the time with no issues here. I'm in the country, but when I lived in a major city I'd pretty common place to see people urban fishing. It's actually becoming a very popular thing to do. Keep up the great work.
It's the mentality of city folk in the UK, its a generalisation but they have no clue about the world outside their own little bubble, and think everyone should conform to their ideals. Constantly trying to ban things they have no experience or knowledge about.
@@FishingWithBradders You'll find the "city folk" aren't from London they're usually outsiders. I and thousands of others used to fish all the time on canals when they were run down and nobody would dare walk along them, now the metropolitan elites think they own the air you breath
Hi Nice fishing.
What kind of permit did you got to avoid any problems with fishing on non private property.
High quality video 🙏
2:30 I thought she was joking, blaaaady ell
How boring has the life of these guys to be having nothing better to do than harassing a fisherman.
You need to get a ticket to Australia when the world is normal again, you will never go back home again.
Well done and a shame on the Karens and Darrens of the world with nothing to do better but whinge and whine.
Be safe, fish and Keep it reel
Brad
Public water, public footpath, public canal path.
End of.
Take down the illegal no fishing signs that the residents have put up.
Brilliant pike at the end .
Good one mate , did you weigh the last fish ? I still haven't used the 6000 reel I bought off of you , I'm going to Christian it on the river when they open 🤙tight lines buddy 🎣
Cheers man, I haven't been able to weigh any of my fish since I forgot my scales late in the dark of night last summer, but I'll get a new one as soon as I have enough disposable income for it 😆
It'll be time to use that reel soon 💪🏻 let us know how it goes when you do 🎣🤘🏻 all the best
@@theHorizonLiner will do 🤙🎣
Good on ya brother! From Indiana.u.s.a
That last pike was a nice one , if you have your licence you can fish the water ways and I don’t think any of them are private not like lakes. It time to get the books out to find out your rights. I wish people would mind there own business.
Tbh I use to think you were a divvy like there's no point in glossing it. Watching a few of your recent videos, I can see you aren't and it seems in London the problem of you can't fish here or there really is a massive issue and I'm actually surprised you can stay that calm. Just keeping doing your thing pal 👍
Man talk about complete entitlement. Some people just need to learn how to mind their own damn business
David Attenborough of fishing
Good one haha
Those fish u are using are great but they swim and sink too fast for my liking. Try a kamono 2 sub surface lure not cheap but they catch. Retrieve can be much slower giving more time for fish to react. Also if you are getting follows bit of fish bait or fish oil on lure may help as it will trick the fish into believing it’s real food 😁👍
Great style , I subscribe
Are there very big pike in there ? Lucky to catch a double where I am (Devon) but there are big ones in here
That’s why I never fish where there are people around. I don’t get scared night fishing in the country on my own but I would never fish in the inner city. Onlookers freaks me out.
next time we go together we'll get something for sure. Nice vid
Great ! what was the length of this fish?
Nice one buddy:) see ya on the bank soon 👀🤫
Nice one bro 🤙🏻
"You dont own the water bro." - Googan squad.
The pike you landed, the one that was following, do you think they could’ve been a pair?
A pair?
You should blow £30 on a license and flash it about more, too many people poking their nose in with no clue man.
Cool video, gonna sub.
hi bro, i planning to go to London this December . do i need a license for fishing in London canals or ponds ? thank you.
Why do people hate on fishing so much there?!? I’m in the USA
Bravo !!!
I dont know how you keep your cool. I would be telling them to mind their business, get the Peelers or shut up.
The world of Marys is now apon us.
Good health and good fishing.
You see, this is the drawback of urban fishing. While it’s usually free and full of fish that are easy to catch, it’s just blighted by self-entitled middle class tw**s. It’s similar up here in Manchester.
Should have politely told them all to do one if they don’t leave turn the tables and call the police and claim harassment.
I totally see the house owners' point of view but would love to know the actual legal position.
Can anyone tell me the locations of these locks in London?I am new to London and struggle to catch a pike on the canals for a while now
Great video as always! I'm 23 and new to London, I have a huge passion for fishing. Would you ever be up for meeting up for some fishing?
Should you ever have the chance friend: Try Minnesota (the land of 10,000 lakes) Leech lake (in I know I don't have the spell right Bemiji) Third cast with a Dare Devil Spoon and I landed my first of many Pikes. I enjoy your show and I am hoisting a pint to you and our fine English friend. May God bless you all. Michael Weeks, San Antonio, Texas.
What how are you catching pike in a tidal body of water? Is it freshwater or saltwater? Im so confused, do they lower and raise the water level with man made devices or is it an actual tidal zone? Im beyond confused right now lol. Guess i should google about canals and waterways in london and whether its saltwater or freshwater and how the tides work cause now im genuinely curious and confused over it lol.
Pike and carp can live in tidal/salt water
@@Biggazzygaz well you learn something new everyday thats very interesting i did not know that.
Please we want another upload!
Watch those hooks in that net, you may get some bad tangles if a pike thrashes in there
I use a rubber mesh net when I can but if not I tend to crush the barbs on most big hooks 👍🏻
If I owned one of those canal boats, you would be welcome to fish from it everyday.
I would lose my sanity being surrounded by waterways and no one wanting me to fish.
