Pike Tutorials Video 2

- The second pike tutorial video, this time covering the topic of float fishing with lives. I fully understand it's not everyones cup-of-tea, and its not something I have used for pike for many years, but it was a method I used when I was much younger, a time when I was just getting started in predator fishing, so thought I had to cover it at some point.
This video was shot on a beautiful estate lake, where the autumnal colours of the surrounding trees is breathtaking, a venue where kingfishers flash around all day long and I'm led to believe is full of small pike. Unfortunately loads of cold overnight rain didn't help on the day, yet in the very short session a few bites did come which was I needed to demonstrate the method.
The video also shows how to make pike traces, which is far easier than you would think and certainly something that will save you money in the long run.
Hope you enjoy and please subscribe if you haven't already, share and give it the video the thumbs up if you find it helpful.
The next video Im planning is going to be an 'In-session' one where you will be able to see me put many of the topics covered the first into action and hopefully will include the odd bigger pike.
Fingers crossed.
Already looking forward to the next video, thanks Duncan.
Hi Andrew, Hope you enjoyed the later videos.
@duncancharmanangling1136 very much Duncan. You've got it just right. The balance between light harted banter, telling how it is at the venue, without being pessimistic,
And great tutorial. On earlier videos, you mentioned the best time of day to fish. Why you prefer not to use a close face reel for trotting , I could go on, but importantly, that comes from a depth of experience, not some "Johnny come lately"
Duncan really enjoy your videos on fishing and I have been fishing 4 50 years
Thank you Tony
Great video thanks👍🎣
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking forwards to the next one.
Thank you
Amazing mate liked the first one 👌. Gonna try and beat my pb this year.
Good luck...
Awesome video
I see so many people fishing for pike and really haven’t got a clue
Even simple things like an unhooking mat
This fish might have sharp teeth but definitely need the care they deserve
cheers mate
Love fishing wood lake
It certainly is a beautiful venue
Thanks for new knowledge nice fishing 🍺👍
Thank you
You really should have an up trace when float fishing, especially with Livebaits which will swim up to at least the length of the trace.The uptrace can be wire or a suitable high diameter flourocarbon. As you mentioned an uptrace is also required for any form of paternoster,
Hi Duncan, great video. Where3 did you get your waterproof camo trousers?
Hi Ian, Im guessing the camo waterproofs trousers you refer too are the Nash ones....unfortunately they're not waterproof, shower proof maybe.
@@duncancharmanangling1136 thanks Duncan 👍🏻
Nice video Duncan as always. Just wondering if you've ever toyed with semi fixed leads for pike. You were talking about resistance with the float. I've been using korda lead clips for normal deadbaiting for 10 years and found pike don't seem to mind and the runs more positive. Also find i get less deep hooked fish and less dropped runs. Complete opposite to what a lot of pikers do, but works. Worth trying on one rod, see what you think.
Hi Ben,
Its something I will take a look at this coming winter,
@duncancharmanangling1136 try it on one rod and see for yourself. Just takes a leap of faith. Eliminates a host of problems too, like lead separation when casting distances, eliminates a lot of tangles. Also been using the korum bolt and run kit. Does the same job. Find the takes are so positive and can't remember last pike I deep hooked. I mainly have the lead on a weak link and pop up, handy on Rocky irish loughs. Only thing that can snag is the lead and that snaps
Duncan.....can I ask as a professional angler your opinion on single hook fishing vs snap tackle? mention pros & cons of deep hooking vs hook pulls....thanks in advance
Hi Paul, Its a really hard one but I think if you have watched all my videos I have on occasions talked about this. Two hook traces in the right hands 99% of the time are fine, sensitive indication and strike immediately, in the wrong hands, not good! Single hooks, circle hooks I've played with and yes striking immediately fish are missed so once again very dangerous in the wrong hands as I've seen anglers wait ages before striking.
Lets hope this one doest go into overdrive, if snap tackle was banned tomorrow I'd give it the thumbs up, just like dropping lead and the use of leadcore, but in the hands of a competent angler these are fine, in the wrong its a totally different situation.
Hope this helps...
Om another note. Is that the spot wilson did some perch fishing back in the 80s
Im really not sure on this one Ben, it was certainly good for perch back them, remember my dad telling me about it.
When is Ep 3 coming out please?
Hope you enjoyed it
Live baits can catch ANY pike. It's complete rubbish to say they attract mostly jacks! 😂
Would be fair to say that livebaits attract MORE jacks though! If you want to catch larger pike then deads will be 10x more effective....
@@stephenridd6834 I don't agree.
Hi Gary, Thanks for the comment. Hopefully I clarified this in a later video.
