Excellent presentation and sound advice! The boat is clearly superlative for piking but I suppose I'm not at too much of a disadvantage with a small displacement hull, my mariner 3.5hp and humminbird helix 10, given the 5mph speed limit in the broads - and 4mph on rivers!
15lb mono, what happens if you end up snagged? Mono breaks and you risk leaving a baited pair of trebles behind for a pike to take. It's gotta be strong braid so you can straighten the hooks if you need to. Especially round norwich there's loads of crap in the water
A tip from me is to pop up your deadbaits... I believe you get a much more positive take, the pike isn't faffing around trying to pick up the bait out of what might be a very weedy bottom... I'd love to have a boat... most of my fishing is bank fishing on lakes using the delks, at 64y.o. I enjoy this not so active way of fishing... 🙄😅 My PB is 28lbs... A sub & a like from me, sir... 🤗 From the Enerald Isle 😎👍☘🍺
🙌🏼 More of this please Justin!! 👏

Awesome vid. Would you give any tips on a starting rod and reel, something that will defo do the job(willing to spend around £125)
Get a mash dwarf 3lb test curve or similar carp rod and a standard shimano baitrunner, they’re cheap and absolutely bulletproof.
Hi mate I'm on the northlk broads on the 24th of June how would u fish it ?
Great video
