They are awesome to be fair, I love that you can pre weigh a sling or net and zero it to add the fish and get a true weight 👍

Thanks Lee, it’s a lovely meander with the lures so long as the weather is ok 😂

@@BlackCountryPiker it’s not often the weather is ok these days mate 🤣

@LR-Fishing true 😂

Thanks Lee 👍

It’s a lovely venue with a huge mixture of fish. I’m sure the pole would deliver as the Mick who manages the pool often fishes the whip

@@BlackCountryPikercheers matey, I have been looking for something like this to cast medium pike lures as well as pike fly’s 🎣 keep the vids coming 💪🏼

@@AtlauaFishing your welcome and thank you

Thank you for watching 👍

Thanks Adam

😂 billly bunter, I haven’t heard that in ages 😂

Cheers Matt, only a short one but thought I’d still put it up 👍

@@BlackCountryPiker glad you did pal 👍🏼🤘🏽🍺👊🏼

Cheers Matt 👍

Glad you caught on the perch, get those jigflies out 👍

Mornings a lot of people do not get to see and one I’m glad of

Cheers, it was only a knock about with a mate but worth it 👍

Sounds like a nightmare, keep at it. Eventually it will come your way 👍

I’ve done a few visits here as an angler and as Angling Trust. It seems to be getting worse! There’s signs of fish removal, rubbish everywhere and then the anglers leaving their junk too 🤦‍♂️

​@@BlackCountryPikeroohh it sounds really sad... Is that mean that fishing in UK getting really worse? My memories about UK since I was living there were as it was a small fishing paradise regarding spinning for pike. Few months ago I arrived in my mother land and still can't catch even one. Here situation is also getting worse and worse. It's really terrible especially compared to my time at UK... 😢

@@ДаниелЧоновthere’s definitely more pressure on predator fishing these days but some of the venues are just dumping grounds. Some anglers just can’t not look after something they supposedly love or care about. It makes me angry and sad. Some venues are well looked after though and often a beauty spot

Thank you very much 👍

Honestly he’s a grand master in the art of pike. Top bloke 👍

Thank you, a little frustrating this time but still managed one so all’s well that ends well 👍

Thank you, I personally believe they are better for the fishes welfare but do appreciate you may loose fish because of them. I’d still use trebles for baits like sardine or big baits

Thank you very much 👍

Nice one, Tom and Sean are awesome aren’t they 👍

@@BlackCountryPiker funny as mate looking forward to getting some pike fishing in over the winter it’s my first go at it and I no the first one will be a 20 and I will bab myself 😂😂😂😂

@@horizonfishkeeping nice one, 😂😂 if you do you’ll of smashed my pb straight away 😂😂. Good luck 👍

@@BlackCountryPiker let’s face it if I catch anything this winter will of been pure luck and thanks will catch up on some of your videos and get some pointers 👍👍👍

Nice one

Absolutely mate 🤙🤙

😂😂 have you been down yet Chris?

@@BlackCountryPikerI haven’t been since I last saw you there, I ended up selling my dead bait stuff as I just don’t get the time any more 😔

@chriscfishing ahh no way, sad times. Sorry to read that Chris. I hope you still have your river trotting gear though?

@@BlackCountryPiker ​​⁠Still got all the trotting gear, loads of lure stuff, and gratuitous amounts of fly gear 😂

@@chriscfishing 😂😂👍

😂😂😂

Thank you Brian and thank you for letting me use your image 👍

😂😂 too right, cheers Lee 👍

This is genuinely the first session I’ve had so many lost fish. It’s probably me not reeling in strong enough or too early. I still prefer to use them over trebles but won’t stop using trebles on sardines and such

Be interested to know your thoughts later down the line trebles can be brutal at times even when you take all the care you possibly can

@leeramskill2683 that’s my worry 😬

Thanks, you should watch “obsession with angling” the stuff he pulls out 🤯

@@BlackCountryPiker I’ll go check him out

Thank you 👍

I'm with you,I tried them lost so many fish,so back to trebles for me.. I'm on the fence a bit with circle hooks as I have seen the damage they can do. But like every thing they have good and bad points...

Thank you very much, I can see I’ll still use them on sardines and bigger baits but where possible I’ll use circles

@@parklandpikerspot on matey, I’m fortunate to have not seen any damage done so far and unhooking is so much easier. That said you can always deep hook if you leave it too long

Thank you very much, good luck when you do 👍

Thank you, there’s lots out there but I had this kit with me. I didn’t get mine off Amazon but to give you an idea 👍 amzn.eu/d/0msVfJ7

Are you on Facebook or instagram John?

I am on Facebook. John

@johnhodgetts2791 facebook.com/share/RCySCPvh6BououXn/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Message me on this profile and I’ll send you the details 👍

Hi mark, thank you. Yeah Martin jacked in the jigflies, he took time out and now only does trout flies I think.

I’ll try and do a quick run through video for you shortly 👍

Thank Vincent, I have no pissing sheep but a munching mouse 😂😂

Yes mate I know 🤦‍♂️ you are right the weir is in the background, the section I’m on is on the inside of an island which is why it looks so narrow. The line was around my quick link and not the fish so may have come out from a tree branch.

Where I was was near stourport

Thank you Andrew, I hope you are well?

@@BlackCountryPiker Very well, thanks. I have been a bit quiet lately with the weather being cold and wet, but been amusing myself playing with my aquariums instead of fishing. But, spring has sprung... the grass is ris, I wonder where the birdy is. (Some say the bird is on the wing. I, however, say this is absurd, indeed the wing is upon the bird!) Trout season opened on the weekend, made it out on Tuesday for a few really solid, nice fish. So that was fun :)

@AndrewFishman 😂😂 how true. Yes and after your falling in I’m sure you wouldn’t be too keen. I sometimes forget as we go in to winter months you guys are going in to summer. Great to see your fist trout outing was good 👍

Thank you, you are absolutely right 👍

Cheers, yeah that was my thoughts

Thank you, yeah I love seeing what he pulls out. Good angler in all dedications as well.

Thank you, I’d probably say more the weight you’ve mentioned. I’ve not heard of a 30 though there is a cheeky catfish that’s been chucked in there 😂

Thanks Matt, one reason why I love the lures so much 👌

You and me both 😂

Thanks Stuart, personally I always use a wire trace and would never fish mono straight through. You’re pretty much guaranteed to get bitten off. There is an alternative of fluro as well, different strengths depending on if you are fishing for pike or perch. I try to match the strength of wire trace to that of my braid. Also try and get something that is 18-20 inches long and not the cheap short green ones 👍

@@BlackCountryPiker thank you

@stuartparkes6791 high Stuart, I’m not sure why but it showed this comment to one of my pike videos and not a trout one as it shows me now, sorry. For trout I’m not too fussed using a trace unless there were pike present. I use 6lb braid as you can feel everything. Monk can be a bit too stretchy

Cheers matey 👍

Cheers Matt, I wish you could upload shorts in panoramic and not portrait to get a better watch but it’s still ok 👍

I’ve only really had the odd issue but I’m not sure if this is a card or camera issue 👍

Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
