Thank you very much for watching! The BRAND NEW Adventure Fishing online store is now live, I’d massively appreciate it if you could check it out! www.adventurefishinguk.com/
What weight of line do you usually use for pike, George? My lightest setup has approx. 26 lbs braid, my medium 40 lbs, and the heavier ones I plan to create will probably be 60 - 80 lbs.
When Mine were that little, there was no way I was taking a rod on a walk. How times have changed, and how lucky You are to have Understanding Lady. As soon as they could hold a rod, and catch their first Pike. There was no stopping them. Both have caught Pike over 20lb's now, and loving It. Thanks for sharing. Keep 'Em Coming.
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Love fishing myself, and just so you know that I subscribed to your channel only because you seem to be very nice and humble. Take care and looking forward to your next video mate.
Fantastic job!! Love your style and I’m impressed that you had the little one with you as you fished ! Very impressive!! Look forward to seeing more from you!
Nice video! Pike fisherman from northern US here. The Jerkbait is a really overlooked lure here in the states fishing for pike, but I use jerkbaits 80% of the time for them. Try using the jerkbait by twitching the lure. I've caught decent sized pike with the Rapala Ripstop 12. If you really want serious action with a simple to use lure I highly suggest the rapala J13 jointed swimbait. PIKE ARE CRAZY for those lures.
As if your lass goes with you and has a go too! Diamond right there mate, I hooked a massive pike on a jack lure fist cast the other day I was buzzin! Nice vid lad
Best endeavours with fly fishing..casting , retrieve .lines ..leaders... and that small matter of the actual fishing... Ive just about finished my fly fishing apprenticeship...started in 1974
Fishing with Rapala 5g sinker today was gold trout addition. Pike absolutely smashed it. Was not expecting it. Originally bought lure for troat fishing but catches all predators basically.
Very inspiring video haven't been fishing since I moved inland despite there being loads of free river fishing on the Thames near me after seeing this I might give it a try.
The best lure for canal pike i found was the rap all super shad rap in natural roach finish. I used to work mine by throwing it out 10-15 ft from the bank and then i would start walking the tow path, towing the lure behind me. It always got nailed as it came in closer to the bank and not just by pike but perch as well, i heartily recommend trying it, yes i know its big but they love it. Oh i used to fish mine with a 6ft bait casting rod and reel ( the john Wilson one) loaded with braid, tight lines.
Awesome action! A gross but effective tip is to smear the blood on the lure, and it's a great fish attractant. Husky jerks work great here in the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair in the US, where we have lots of really fat pike that don't get very long due to warm summer temperatures. A 3 foot fish is a really big one here, but we can catch mid 20s to low 30s inch fish all day long. It's also an awesome trolling lure, run way back. Pumping motions often get them to nail it. The countdown minnow is also great for casting, and the 13cm fatter bodied X-Rap jointed shad is great for good sized fish, either cast or trolled. definitely have a go at those ones.
Thanks for the comment, really cool to hear how things are done differently over in different countries. Yeah countdowns are great, trout love them too!
I’m lucky my partner allows it! Good job the baby was asleep, or he’d have been getting bored after about 15 minutes and the whole village would know about it 😂
i appriciate your sacrifice with the bollacking you will get of the missus lol , keep it up as im new to your channel but your content is fantastic. i cant stop watchi g lol . ok get back to your family , keep up the great work , reguards paul

@@adventurefishinguk yeah I did, while I have you, can you guide me somewhere for that net you were using, like the rod set up I don’t want to be taking my large carp one out for a walk 😂
Great job! Pike are so much fun to catch! Along the canal, do some people live on the boats year round? That would be an interesting way to live. Here in the states some people do that. I’ve caught some big Pike on the Rapala Shad Rap. Give that one a try if you haven’t used it before. They also make a jointed Shad Rap that is pretty cool.
Thanks mate! Yeah I believe quite a lot of people live on canal boats year round. Not for me I don’t think but It definitely has its merits. Not tried the lures you mentioned but I’ll look into getting a couple 🎣
I have caught 9 pike in six minutes on monkland canal on savage gear foreplay br all similar size to your fish was out yesterday with big rods and blanked first time out for pike since 2nd January..
Haha brilliant stuff George, loved it when the fella stopped to ask you what breed the trout was lol 😆 🙂. Brilliant stuff and very professionally done just to carry on doing you're piece to camera. Great stuff mate, great night's fishing and worth a bollocking Atb fella, Rick
Great video, took my son Lancaster Canal yesterday hoping to catch his 1st pike. Unfortunately blanked but will be back at it soon , definitely with a Rapala! What stretch of the canal do you advise? We started at Hest bank and walked towards Lancaster
Great session, im learning about pike fishing still and every proper guide i find seems to say either float or ledger but what i see most people catching on is just lures with no weight. I was out today with a ball weight and float and caught nothing, although i was also trying to jig the bait about a bit by reeling it in slowly. Am i right in thinking you have nothing but the leader and the lure? Is there a name for this type of pike fishing and is there a time when you would stop doing this? E.g when it gets colder?
Just wire trace with a lure clipped on that's all you need! You can catch pike all year round doing this. Using deadbaits can be more productive when the water is really cold though as the fish are more lethargic and less likely to chase something down. In winter use bigger lures with slower presentation!
Nice video and well done on such a short session. Do you take the barbs off your lures. I only ask as I'm new to pike fishing on canals and every bit of advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks mate! I take the barbs off my trout lures yeah, and any pike deadbait gear, but not normally for pike lures. Just make sure your line is braid and strong enough with a wire trace 👍
Just saw this video. Awesome angling? QQ, Do you think the Husky-Jerk lure you used in the video might also work in the USA? I’m new to Pike fishing, so I’m not sure what equipment to start with. Spent the past two years gearing up with Carp gear from the UK. Thanks - Joe
Great short session which couldn't get any better really especially for a Canal. That Rapala (always been a fan) husky jerk comes in so many colours and length's even suspended but i could not find the colour that you used in this vid, well not on Amazon. All the best.
Thanks mate! Colour was an instant success, I think it’s called fire tiger. I’ve never found Amazon to be a great place to buy lures personally! Thanks for watching 👍
@@adventurefishinguk Cheers Bud, Amazon is good for next day delivery and it's return policy i kinda know where i stand with them ; ) Your welcome, you have a great channel.
bought one and fished it a couple of time recently and not a sniff. Just hoping the Northern lights one i bought off your website does better lol....I must be doing something wrong as ive STILL NOT CAUGHT a pike
@@adventurefishinguk I've not used it yet due to extreme hot weather and water temp high on canal. I've just been catching perch on micro jigs and not many of them lol. I'm still trying to find pike on canal as not seen any caught only on your older videos. Any ideas where to try when weather cools a bit ?
@@adventurefishinguk Update.....Went out today as weather temp had dropped AND GUESS WHAT ????? Yes 4th cast on canal with the NORTHERN LIGHTS PERCH lure from your shop and a nice little jack pike...SO IT WORKED FOR ME....better than the Husky Jerk for me...also had a pike follow it in but wouldnt go for it ....THANKS BUDDY
Mate you have got to get yourself up to Skeggles water. Find kentmere tarn on a map look right and its that small mountain tarn parallel to kentmere tarn. Big perch, jack pike everywhere. Its literally a big puddle filled with predators.
are you garstang or more lancaster way? i fish guys hamlet had a few on drop and jig but looking at new areas without the weed thats covering the canal down path. tyia tight lines
Hi love the channel, just trying to get into fishing myself I’ve bought a x5 adventure rigged and ready rod on your recommendation, just curious what braid you used on this trip?
Thanks for watching! The X5 is great, for pike I’d recommend the rigged and ready 33lb if you’re fishing somewhere snaggy, or 22lb if there aren’t many snags and you’re just using lures
@@adventurefishingukI use one that dives to 6 metres, another to 9 metres max and the other 12 metres max. Deep Dancer is its name, some of the commercial guys use the 12 metres one if they are not live baiting; my favourite is the Yo Zuri Floating Cyrstal Minnow - but they only dive to 6 metres. Had 7lb 8oz, PB when trolling. Yo Zuri can be expensive though.
Nice fishing mate, I used to use tfgear years ago not fished for a while now so thought I'd get a travel rod to get out with on my bike I just ordered the 3000 reel and the smuggler 6 rod from rigged and ready looking forward to getting back out
Complete newbie to fish type of fishing, always been a float fisher for carp/silver etc. Can I ask how you know when you have a bite? And also, what is that net please?
Hi mate use to take my little along with me. Can you add a UK link for that exact lure please . Majority of ones on ebay are different sizes and from overseas with very high postage.
Ahh, we just love fishing around densely populated areas. Just amazing, especially when they ask if you have a fishing license, where you're from and act like they're interested 😒
Hi, great video. I've been sea fishing for a few years but looking to try and catch some pike I'm the scottish lochs. I've just bought a 14g lure, would u just attach a swivel and the lure or would you add weight to that?
Id tie the line to a wire trace then just use that unless the water is really deep. Then you can use a little clip on weight. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
The rigged and ready travel net max. It's available on their website i think it's on offer at the moment for about £17. You can get 10% off too with code AFUK10 at checkout
This is the landing net max by rigged and ready mate, great little net. You can get 10% off too using code AFUK10 on the rigged and ready website, it’s only cheap.
@@adventurefishinguk found the comment I was looking for! Thanks for sharing the name and code. I too don't want to treck most of my gear on public transport so this helps! Following 🎣
First time fishing for pike today myself ever (carp fisherman) and went with the mrs! And swear after about 4 hours I hooked into one about 3lb and knocked it off at the net 😂 can you recommend any lures for the summertime or is it like different colour for winter summer ? Like baits for carp ? Great video btw
Unlucky mate, happens to the best of us! For the summertime its more about presentation that colour. Topwater lures work well in the summer, i'd recommend having a go with the savage gear topwater snake in its smaller size. Great lure and you'll have some good fun with it!
Hello,i pike fish alot and i can highly recommend the Westin swim 12cm suspending..the roach one with the orange belly,its a magnet. The Westin shad teez is brilliant too.
@@adventurefishinguk 2 n half inch diving crank bait. I was there going for chub on the bread. Thdn i saw the pike sitting in a slack. So switch over to the lure and banged a wire trace on. It took it 2nd cast.

I went for an hour but wasn't feeling great, had head ache that kept pounding, but there is always next time
Plenty of pikes in that water, jeez. That many in 96 minutes is insane!
I know, it doesn't normally fish that well!
Nothing beats fishing with us kid mine all love it wen I get a bite on I pass it to my boy to reel in now all he wants to do is fish
Can't wait for that mate!

The canal can be hard! I normally find it's best between lancaster and preston. Thanks for watching!
Up in preston its harder, the fish know the lures due to the amount who fish there leave preston and its way easier

I know that boat can't get a touch near it though I do well south towards the bridge though
I’ve had plenty of blanks on the stretch! Can be tough going, which bridge is that?
@@adventurefishinguk the bridge south towards where the boats

Hi! Great video 🎉
Thank you!
Great video. What's the net you're using?
Thank you! It's the rigged and ready travel landing net max
Thanks for the reply. Looks perfect for fishing light and keeping mobile.
Mate your content is awesome 👌 thanks
Thanks for taking the time to comment mate!
Hi, great video. I've been sea fishing for a few years but looking to try and catch some pike I'm the scottish lochs. I've just bought a 14g lure, would u just attach a swivel and the lure or would you add weight to that?
Oh and it's the rapala x rap peto lure I have just bought
Id tie the line to a wire trace then just use that unless the water is really deep. Then you can use a little clip on weight. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
That's a great lure, good choice
What net are you using?
The rigged and ready travel net max. It's available on their website i think it's on offer at the moment for about £17. You can get 10% off too with code AFUK10 at checkout
@@adventurefishinguk lovely I might have to get it!
Hi, great video, do you need a permit to fish that stretch?
You do yes, it’s just a nip into the local post office job though!
@@adventurefishinguk great thank you, might see you out there some time
@@collingmorris919 hopefully mate, come say hello if you do 👍
What net are you using
This is the landing net max by rigged and ready mate, great little net. You can get 10% off too using code AFUK10 on the rigged and ready website, it’s only cheap.
@@adventurefishinguk found the comment I was looking for! Thanks for sharing the name and code. I too don't want to treck most of my gear on public transport so this helps! Following 🎣
Can you use a baitcaster on that rod?
I wouldn’t personally it’s not really built for it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Brilliant.
Thanks mate!
How big is that husky ? I need to get one asap
I think 8cm mate!
@@adventurefishinguk managed to get hold of one now thanks
First time fishing for pike today myself ever (carp fisherman) and went with the mrs! And swear after about 4 hours I hooked into one about 3lb and knocked it off at the net 😂 can you recommend any lures for the summertime or is it like different colour for winter summer ? Like baits for carp ?
Great video btw
Unlucky mate, happens to the best of us! For the summertime its more about presentation that colour. Topwater lures work well in the summer, i'd recommend having a go with the savage gear topwater snake in its smaller size. Great lure and you'll have some good fun with it!
@@adventurefishinguk thanks for the reply, only just see it as my YT notifications ain’t working for some reason.will give it a go cheers
Hello,i pike fish alot and i can highly recommend the Westin swim 12cm suspending..the roach one with the orange belly,its a magnet.
The Westin shad teez is brilliant too.
Can you tell us what lure you were using?
😂
@@adventurefishingukgreat video
Caught a monster pike on a light perch rod, felt like fighting a great white!
Jack be nimble, jack be quick , jack jump in this fecking net 😂. P.S. “ Your like a sick pike !” ( Withnail & I ) 😂
I'm not quite sure what you mean!
Its warmed up they finished spawning there hungry easy fishing this time of year
Definitely felt like easy fishing at the time!
What was the name of the lure again pal?
😂
Got my 1st pike today mate. My god my heart was pounding lol.
Well done mate! What lure did you get it on?
@@adventurefishinguk 2 n half inch diving crank bait. I was there going for chub on the bread. Thdn i saw the pike sitting in a slack. So switch over to the lure and banged a wire trace on. It took it 2nd cast.
@@adventurefishinguk Actually my lure was the same colour as yours in this vid. They must like that
@@riverhuntersuk7387 good fishing mate 👍 glad you nailed it
@@adventurefishinguk Thanks bro! Think im addicted now 😂👍
Think the cat thought you had a mouse on early in the video 🤣
😂
I think it did too 😂 had to be very careful it didn’t go for it. Wouldn’t leave me along haha
im so jealouse man i have been fishing maybe 6 days with my friend on a big fort pond and we caught 2 pikes each they dont bite at all here
Can be tough this time of year!
Hey where is this canal bc this has more pike than my spot
In the North west 👍
I forget pike are harder to catch over there. In 🇨🇦 6 pike in 6 casts is possible, right place and right time. Good stuff though, you got it done.
Thanks mate! Yeah unfortunately we aren’t blessed with the same fishing as the Canadians. A small island with a lot of people can make it tough!
What net is that pal?
I'm not sure of the model but it comes from Fladen
