    The best description of pressured fish I hv ever heard!! I watched this 3x 2 mk sure it sank in...lol. I'm an American n we hv very Lil access to pike but n our small rivers...n alot of people hv taken up fishing as a hobby since covid. N our presence alone has changed the way we fish w/ lures n the last few years. Excellent info!! U hv MY vote sir!

    Funny thing about this video.
    I watched it a while back and i was talking to a family member about it when i was out fishing with him a few days ago. The venue we fish is _'heavily pressured'_ when it comes to carp so I did totally the opposite by targeting the pike and perch.
    Hardly anyone fishes for the pike or perch at this venue to the point where the pike are so neglected that they are being caught with luncheon meat and boilies rigged on a hair rig while fishing for carp, But I digress...
    Small lures....
    I rigged up a 9g spintail lure barely the size of my thumb - I catch a lot of fish with it which is great, but i hate using it because even the smallest perch can hit it and unhooking a perch the size of a fishfinger with trebles in its mouth can lead to a bit of an adventure when unhooking so i keep it in the box for the extremely hard days when ive tried everything and not had no luck.
    Anyway, It was a hard day so i rigged up the spintail for some perch. had a few casts with it and i hook into a pike that was a hair under 15lb.
    ---
    To put it into context, Ive been to this venue 3 or 4 times with heavier spinning gear and throwing bigger lures to catch the pike and it didnt matter what lures (and i've tried just about everything!) i was using, I always blanked. Ive seen big pike being caught on tiny spikey shads all over youtube but i never thought that i would ever encounter a similar situation but it absolutely got my heart beating when i saw it wasnt a log that i had 'snagged' but a big pike that had decided to have a go at it!

      Awesome I love your story 👌👌👌 That’s the great thing with lure fishing…. Constantly change until you understand what they respond to. It might be they are pressured, it might be that they only feed on small fish diet, or it might be something about the vibrations of a spinner they really like. Keep trying to figure it out and your results will get better and better. Great catch by the way a 15lb pike on perch gear is a great fish

    Any advice for a section of water that has been poached a lot? I find lines tied with rope all over the place, the cut down now tho but its been hammered and i think its still getting hammered There is still big perch about because iv seen them come out on different methods. Iv fished the place 5 times short sessions and only caught a pike. It's like a big basin of canal with a inflow then it stretches off up the canal. The basin with the running water entering was always a hotspot but its been hammered. Any advice welcome. I'm thinking head on up the canal more now.

    When would you fish a reaction bite over a feeding bite and visa versac

    • @Thomhuntfishing
      @Thomhuntfishing  2 года назад +1

      I nearly always start on a ‘feeding’ style bait as I’m an optimist! I want to hope they will be feeding that day! However a few scenarios spring to mind to fish a reaction bait. Mostly it’s when the fishing is tough and they are inactive. It’s then possible to get a ‘reaction’ out of them when a standard bait won’t. I’ve literally seen big perch in clear water just slowly mooching about and spent 30-40 minutes throwing shads, creature baits and drop shot at them with ZERO interest. No follows, no twitching to even look at the bait. Just swimming around like my bait was invisible. I’ve then put on bright green/yellow crankbaits and had a fish 2nd cast. A reaction bite bypasses their ‘thinking’ brain and goes straight to their ‘instinct’ brain. However another scenario would be (ironically) when they are actively feeding and soooo tuned in to a bait source (tunnel vision) that they won’t look at anything else. They’re feeding on Roach fry….. even the best Roach imitator lure still doesn’t produce a response….. that’s the time something totally different MAY just get their attention. But again, there has to be a big trigger…. Speed, bright colours, big flashes…. Something that creates an instinct response where they just lash out. As a general rule…. Start on a feeding bait, if no luck and you KNOW you’re covering fish, try a reaction style bait 👍🏻

      @@Thomhuntfishing okay gotcha, so start by jigging if you find fish obviously finesse, otherwise chatterbait, spinnerbait, lemon tiger sorta stuff

    • @Thomhuntfishing
      @Thomhuntfishing  2 года назад +1

      Yep… always remember, a feeding bite will be way better for a days fishing compared to a reaction bite. A reaction bite is generally trying to force a response from an inactive fish, and most fish will ignore it and stay inactive. However a few will bite but never loads, so you have to stick with it and expect only a few bites, but more than you’d get if you stuck to a normal bait
