Pike Fishing With Deadbaits - Rigs, Tips & Tactics
For the latest episode we try something a little different, as we head out in search of Pike. Now what Steve knows about Pike fishing can be written on the back of a postage stamp, so we teamed up with From The Waters Edge regular, good friend and Piking pirate Jack Mills.
Heading out afloat on Jack's own boat, we spend the day picking his brains about all things Pike related and of course try to catch few fish along the way.
At this time of year Pike fishing with static deadbaits is one of the most popular ways to target these hard fighting predators, so it seemed a good place to start.
To find out exactly how we got on and to see if we managed to land a fish or two, you can check out the latest episode from the waters edge.
As usual we hope you enjoy it and any comments and feedback are very much appreciated.

From The Waters Edge TV
I'm a French Fisherman and i really appreciate the modern approach of pike fishing in the Uk. You guys are brilliant . Here in France not so many people know how to fish with dead baits for pikes , even less with Sardines or Mackerels .. And the most amazing feat i have seen of a French fisherman is catching Pikes of 20 inches round the neck , in shallow waters , with a line ending by a thin wire in the shape of a fox snare , and attached to an old bamboo stick !!
Haha, that certainly sounds a bit different! :-D
My personal favourite deadbait is lamprey... tough skinned & low cross-section for casting & very bloody... I also usually inject with oil too.
Re. the rig... I almost always pop up my baits as I get a much more positive take & am not bothered by crayfish.
A 2oz running lead & a 12" trace... I use the plastic ball from a guinness can as a float... 😎👍☘🍺
Mick Brown was my video mentor ... 😏
PB is 28lbs.. 🤗
Absolutely excellent video, and in my fav part of the country. Thinking of moving there. Thanks a lot boys!
Cheers Bob Hatcher glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment! :-)

From The Waters Edge TV Great 😃
Thanks for the video Lads. I used to fish out of Brundall and know the Yare pike well.
I now live in Alberta, Canada and there are some menacingly big pike here!! All hooks here have to be barbless,{I just crimp them with pliers} which can sure test your angling skills. Tight lines, mate. C:
Thanks for the kind comments Gavin and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video! :-) Hope your fishing is going well and that you've been catching a few! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Love the vid and your channel, I’m just setting up my own fishing channel “the occasional angler” ..... would love to know what you think
Best Guy
step one: coffee. I like this guy hahahaha
Haha, indeed +Logic Generator got to start the day with a cuppa! ;-)
Could you please do a video or an article with Jack on how he made his floats? As Jack says there aren't many floats on the market suitable for pike fishing from a boat. Those floats look perfect. Thanks.
Hi Darius, we'll see what we can do! :-)
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV Thank you, much appreciated.
Good vid chaps!
Cheers James Lench :-)
Hi great video was wondering any chance of some info or short video on how to make the pike floats you are using it this video, I would like to have a go at making some myself and I think a lot of others would find it really useful as well. Keep up the good work tight lines
Hi Paul Thacker thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video! I'll have a word with Jack and see if there's anything we can do! You never know we might be able to sort something out. :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Any update on how to make those floats? Nice video, proper piking
Sorry +Alan Hayzelden not as yet, I haven't seen Jack for a little while now, but hopefully I'll catch up with him again this winter for a spot of fishing!
Hi Guys, mint video, really enjoyed watching it, especially Jacks, set up, different to mine, will definitely be trying out the float. Wondered if you had any tips on night fishing for Pike? Its really popular this time of year and we get a lot of success during the day using the dead bait same as you guys but is there anything you would recommend to do differently at night? I've watched a few videos of a guy night fishing for pike in December successfully but he's pretty useless at telling you what he's doing to catch them. Cheers in advance and once again, great video!
Thanks for the kind comments Peter, glad you enjoyed the video! :-) I'm not the right chap to speak to about Pike fishing, let alone Pike fishing at night! Haha. I'll have a word with Jack for you and see if he can offer a few tips. Cheers Chris
Smashing video !!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Let's get the cod quest out!
Haha, hopefully we'll be back out soon Rexicallity I've just been so busy recently I haven't had a chance! I need more time off work I think! ;-) Don't worry though, new parts will be coming soon!
very good and informative video!!!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
+From The Waters Edge TV keep up the good work!!
Having fished for decades and thinking of hiring a boat on the broads do they have a canopy and if not what happens if it rains and the boat fills with water? If it pours first thing for example would it then be a case of having to spend the rest of the day in wellies on a wet bottom boat?
I'm not too sure Amy, some do, some don't. Normally you just have to bail them out if it rains that hard.
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV Okay thanks.
I see on the boat you are using there is a hood. Could you tell me where it was purchased as I'd like to get something similar for my boat
Hi Karl Chaplin I'm not too sure, I'll have a word with Jack for you. I believe it may have been made specially by a company in Wroxham, but as I said I'll try and fine out!
Great vid
Cheers Andrew, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment.
thanks for getting back to me tight lines
No worries at all +Scott Farquhar :-)
enjoyable vid thanks
Thanks john wrasse :-)
Nice vid, subscribed! Quick one if you have a sec, I'm new to dead baiting, I went yesterday, and I used that egg weight that you've used but I couldn't use it properly as the braid was too thick to go through that little rubber bit that connects on to the top of the weight. I bodged it in the end - but how do you guys do it? To me it looks like you could only get mono or trace through the weight. But you have your main braided line, going through the weight and then tied to a swivel - from there you have your wire trace. What am I doing wrong?! The braid parts and wont go through. Cheers.
Cheers +winchuni22 glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd guess its because you aren't getting a clean enough cut on your braid, as it should pass through quite easily, unless you are using 100lb+ braid! If you don't get a clean cut on it when you try and thread it through the fibres on the braid will get caught on the wall of the tubing on the egg sinker. If you use some braid scissors it should do the trick, or perhaps try threading it with an Diamond Eye Elastic Threader (what match anglers use to thread there pole elastic). I think both those things should help! Cheers Chris.
Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. I'll have a go with the elastic threader. I did cut the braid with ESG braid scissors cleanly but the hole is too small and the braid then frays. The top of the weight bit is probably less than a mill, mill tops. Strange. Braid I am using is a bit thick, but its only 28lbs. Oh well!
brilliant thanks a lot
Thanks Scott Farquhar glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Hello nice video, i am looking for a good landing net while boat fising for pike what brand are you recomending. Jonan from Sweden.
Hi Johan, if you click the tackle box link in the video description you should find the details. :-) It's a net from Fox/Rage. Hope that helps and glad you enjoyed the video :-)
Get a frabill
Nice
Thanks mate!
What kind of fish is the dead bite ? From sea or from rivers?
And which is the name of the fish deadbait?
A deadbait is just the name for any dead fish that you'd use for bait. We use both freshwater and saltwater deadbaits for Pike. Things like Mackerel, Hearring etc from saltwater and Roach and Skimmers from freshwater.
Gold Turkey proper got all my match gear sat there gathering dust, when Will get back on the bank , to everyone stay safe to anyone ill get better soon,👍
Those are great floats, how are they made?
I'll ask Jack for you Andrew!
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV thanks!! I appreciate it!! 😁
nice video I love it :-)
Excellent stuff +Lucky “luxxccksszxx” Labrador glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to comment too! :-)
Video started really badly with that naaarwich mug. Great video
Haha! :-D Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed the video.
Were do you fish at
All over Norfolk to be honest. This was filmed on the broads though.
what depth was you fishing at ? did you plumb up with the fish on ? thanks
Hi mate, we were fishing around 4ft deep. (The particular area we were fishing was quite shallow.)
From The Waters Edge TV thanks for the reply
I feel bad when a pike dies, i was on lake ontario the other day and the poor thing swallowed my daredevil and i was as delicate as i could be but he sunk to the bottom :(
Ah no Jared! Fingers crossed it survived.
how deep were you fishing ? and stop Knott's?
Hi +kev leafman I can't really remember now, although I think it may have been around 4-5ft.
Do you think in a deep ish canal or lake around 4ft is a good starting point?
Thanks for reply too
where can I get a couple of those floats lads?
Hi Sean B I'm not sure you can buy them, Jack hand makes them himself. I'm not sure how, either I'm afraid. Apologies about that.
+From The Waters Edge TV there cracking but he did say in the video he made them lol
Looks like a Trinity???
It could be, I'm not sure what the broad is called Sam, but I'll find out for you. :-)
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV Ahh thank you, dunt put yaself out though bud.
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV Might be Barton? 🤔
what braid do you use
Hi +Tom Blench we use Power Pro or the Daiwa Tournament Braid.
I know now one that pike fishes
It's quite popular, especially in the colder months. :-)
please no how to unhook pike ffs if I see any more dead pike I am going grrrrr ffs the tidal piker
Hi +neil phillips Jack does know how to unhook Pike, he's a great Pike angler and has caught lots of nice fish in recent seasons. He always handles them with the utmost care and respect.
+From The Waters Edge TV hi I did not mention your friend you did I am talking about people on the tidal wensum all the gear no idea ffs me and m8 have Sean plenty big upper doubles dead
Ah ok +neil phillips just you didn't say who your were talking about, your first comment sounded like you were talking about the video and not in general. I know what you mean though, Pike are a delicate fish that need looking after!
Nice video, like it. Love the home made floats, very similar to the ones I use ( Eddie Turner Hi-Vis ). Check out my channel for some pike fishing videos.
Nice video an nice fish but not wearing a life jacket on the boat guys should all ways wear life jackets boat fishing
Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed it. I know... Apologies!
So when you doing a norther pike video 😉
Ooh Norwich we will turn u over in the fa cup come on pne
Can i make a request? No more of that disgusting mug in future videos ;)
Hahaha! ITFC45 I might purposely bring it to the beach next time I fish! ;-) We closed the gap at the weekend... :-) Haha.
nooo haha yup but its a big gap!
Biggest tip of all.....wear a life jacket ffs!!
He said it's a out 4 to 5 foot deep didnt he?
