    4th May 2014 I caught my very first Pike bang on 8lb, an I used your twitching sprat method an it worked fantastically, thanks very much Graeme Pullen your advice has really helped me!

  • @TAFishing

    Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos. Have you seen our light tackle pollock fishing episode? We will be doing more of that sort of stuff over the summer. Thanks for watching

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад +3

    All baits can be twitched. Minnows or bleak on a single size 6 carp hook can be good for Perch(and small Pike).You might have to add some shot to get them down. Fish the margins for perch, overhanging bushes /trees etc.

    I've been in business for close to 50 years and it does pain me to see over a million hits on a site and we only have 3 DVD's for sale !! I was in retail for 38 of those years so it hurts.But our operation is sponsored financially totally by...ME ! So you don't have to put up with all that tackle gibberish. I know we should sell tackle,but our site is so huge now because guys appreciate we tell the truth and just give techniques. I'll try to talk Mike into doing some extra tackle bits though

    Another awesome vid, well done. Really informative (sink and draw...proper Mr Crabtree stuff) thanks to Graeme and Mike for putting it up and may you continue you to do so.....Brilliant!!

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад +2

    Any bait can be used, with dead rudd being a second favourite.Its just that sprats are cheap, you get lots of them and they are silver so flash well.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад +1

    Watch our film on choosing pike lures.I personally prefer twitching deadbaits as the best technique as I can make them "hang" a few seconds in the best spots,whereas a lure has to be moved to make it look real.I have no idea on modern lure names,as all mine are old(and still catching !) I suggest keeping the lures small,rather than on the large size,and medium divers,not deep divers.

  • @markyycz
    @markyycz 11 лет назад

    These guys are the best, love you guys. This year i got into 'poppers' spinning , dead/live baits all work, but poppers on the surface..................best thrill ever. Tight lines.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Yeah,have done boat fishing for pike.Done lots in Southern Ireland years ago,I call it float trolling.Rudd deadbait.Smokes the pike !! They just can't help themselves ! no twenties,but numbers into low doubles.Great sport .Done it on Blenheim Palace Lake,Oxford too. Could be a film coming as well. I've filmed all the technique at Blenheim but can't find the clips we've got so much stuff on our Tb drives !! Keep watching.Spread the "Awesome" word

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    You need good water clarity,but want mild south westerly airflows.Any hard overnight frost followed by clear blue sky puts off many baitfish,and that slows down the predators as well.Cloudy weather would be better.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад +1

    The tips are for autumn and winter. Some canals are just too weedy in summer.

    Thank you very much for taking you time to do this video. I fish for pike often on lakes and ponds but never on the canal and the ironic thing is my house backs on to a canal. I am going to give it a try with all the tips on you video.
    Cheers

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Clear, no rain to flood them. If its coloured your chances go down as they cannot see so well. Wear polarising glasses so you can work lures near any weedbeds or structures.That's where they will be lying up. Work the lures near the surface, with fast twitches. Watch out for explosive takes near the bank edge as you lift out.Good luck.

  • @TAFishing

    I like hotdog segments, or bread. Plus luncheon meat. Also dog biscuits(soaked)when floater fishing.

    I was out fishing tonight on the canal near my house. I just did what you said. I casted under the bridge and first cast I had a perch of 1.5lb and then 2 casts later I had a 5lb pike. Then I casted alongside the reed beds and had another pike :D

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Hi Kieron, we have had a huge number of questions about the vb double hooks, Graeme bought them many years ago and hasn't bought any since so unfortunately we have no idea where to buy them now, I guess its just a case of typing it into your search engine or asking your local tackle shop.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Basingstoke Canal.Through Hampshire and into Surrey.I think the fishing is better in the Surrey area.

  • @heyitsmetrousers6981
    @heyitsmetrousers6981 3 года назад

    I put the hooks facing the other way as pike have the tendency to take a fish head first and this gives you more chance of setting the hook.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Doesn't matter, tails are better, they can cast further. Lash the 'wrist' of the tail onto the wire trace. helps to keep it straight

    • @TAFishing
      @TAFishing  10 лет назад +1

      That's a good catch ,well done. I can't tell you how many fish I've had over 50 years by having that "last cast". Or what we call,the "5-minute warning" which often lasts half an hour !! Both can be lucky.

  • @jasonrenshaw9010
    @jasonrenshaw9010 11 лет назад

    Leo - as Graeme says, you have to be licensed to net crayfish, even the signal ones.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Either. But there will be weed about so you need to cast into the clear areas,or better still ,alongside the edges of weedbeds. The pike lie under them in summer

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 лет назад

    Where their food fish live. Find the food fish and the pike will not be far away. Try features. Gravel bars, drop-offs,weedbeds,deep[ pools, bankside overhangs, trees etc. Just a question of learning to read the signs. No magic bullet I'm afraid. Just groundwork. Ask others if its a water new to you.

  • @scotthamilton9675
    @scotthamilton9675 7 лет назад

    Proud of you for freeing the cray fish good soon I think ,I think sport fishing should be catch and release

    • @alexcolcombe8438
      @alexcolcombe8438 7 лет назад +1

      it's actually illegal to release signal crayfish back into the water, even if you remove them unintentionally like Graeme. and the signal crayfish carry a disease that wipe out our native crayfish so chances are if you find signals there aren't likely to be the native white clawed crayfish.

  • @Riverman2012
    @Riverman2012 11 лет назад

    In other pike videos you mention not striking too soon and letting the fish take the whole bait. The canal i fish is very murky and i'm unable to see the bait in the water. Is it best that i use a float in that case? I'm new to pike fishing and giving it a go at the weekend. Love your videos Graeme and i'm taking many tips from you...VB hooks on order! Keep up the good work :)

I don't want to use a bait caster, I would like a rod like TA fishing has but incase i didn't like the predator fishing i could just make it a carp rod i would like it to have a cork grip. The rod would be used for fishing for perch, pike, zander, Chub I would prefer to use small lures-spoons, dont really want to use deadbaits. Does anyone know what rod and reel is suited for me my budget is about £200
