5 (More) Tips for PIKE FISHING from the Shore 🐊🎣

Fishing pike from the bank can be extremely fun and rewarding, but it comes with a few limitations and challenges compared to fishing from a boat, float tube or kayak.
In this video Pontus goes pike fishing in the archipelago of Åland Islands and shares some his best tips for pike fishing from the shore, some of them found in the comments of the last shore fishing video.

Can u do a tackle-box video where you show all your pike baits and explain different situation where you can use them? Thanks

[@jamiedickson2196]

When sight-fishing in sunny, calm weather I’ve had good success casting from quite a long way back from the water’s edge, crouching if necessary. That way your silhouette isn’t visible to the fish while you cast so they can’t get spooked. I used that method to catch my PB chub on a bright morning from among a group of very spooky large chub on a local stream. Another tip is always determine in advance if you can actually land the fish on or near to the spot you’re casting from - it’s easy to get over excited and cast from a spot where bringing the fish to net is actually really difficult. Once you’re hooked up you realise too late and have a problem. An example might be casting from a bank too steep to retrieve the fish from the water without either falling in yourself or dragging a potentially heavy fish up the bank - not good fish handling practice. Nets with long handles can help, but at full extension even that might not reach if you’ve chose the spot badly.

Again great video Pontus, love kanalgratis content always top quality videos and tips!! Greetings from Ireland guys

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I just discovered you a few weeks back and you put out the heat man! Keep up the good work.

Dziękuję Wam że są polskie napisy, bo kocham Was oglądać a tak to rozumiałbym tylko połowę.

[@janosczovek8524]

Really good video really enjoyed it thanks 👍 keep up the good work

[@BhekiBear]

Great tips Pontus. I would say the best tip for me would be to bring some cooler container with ice if you are planning to take any fish back home to eat. Keeping the fish cold will preserve the fish while you continue your fishing trip...

[@davvelitoo7461]

Riktigt bra video :)

[@emilandersson1507]

Goood video as usual... i cast in a sunfeather the most but as you say, it depends on the terrain. Sometimes i feel that it can be harder landing a fish in a shallow shorline, i think the pike has nowhere to go so it jumps more. So like you said make a plan for casting but for landing the fish too. A net can be hard to cary around so finding a good landingspot can help or just step out in the water and lift the fish out. I have had many pikes getting loose just by the wateredge "forcing" me to step out in the water. And not always on a warm summers day😨😂

[@danielnystrom6835]

I start casting forward and go to right, then forward and to left. 2 or 3 cast to my right, then walk to that point. Cast forward, then right, forward and left. And so on BUT i have just picked up pikeing again after 25 years almost 🙈 Great video AGAIN.

[@AK-uq7lg]

I think that the second method of casting covers faster and a little bit more ground it is also more easy to set reference points. I always cast a few times close and parallel to the shore line to not scare the fish off close to the shore and then do the second method till i get to the point where i cast close to the shore and then repeat. Extra tip for the first aid box:bring a little can cola if you or the fish are bleeding pour some cola on the wound and it stops bleeding in a instant and it desinfect also. And as always a nice video to watch!!!

Awesome!!

Fan va bra video Pontus

Tusen tack! Skitfiske på dig! 😀

It would be awesome to do buster jerk vs pig shad, or other types of softbaits

[@dustplanderlinde2202]

Here in lapland we fish where we want and we dont really have snakes and usually i have something i can cut hooks with

[@erkkialarik]

have some goddamm faith artturi

[@danielnystrom6835]

Could be a hood idea to bring first aid kit for thw fish, as they do here in UK when they carping. A drop where the hook been jist to get bacteria away, especialy during the summer

[@ikempi]

While moving I like to cast 45 degrees in the direction I move. Sometimes extra casts when the bank is curving. Lets say I move North, then I will be casting to NortEast or NorthWest depending on the side - but you get the idea.

[@kanalgratisdotse]

ikempi I understand, interesting! For what reason? Thanks for watching!

[@ikempi]

Just personal thing. Yes, I will lose couple of meters from max distance instead of going 90 degrees, but on the other hand you will disturb the bank a little less - this all depends on the sun creating shadow for example. Don't get me wrong I will cast 90 or back as well, if I happen to see some action somewhere. Or spot a good weedline up ahead and do lets say 10 degree cast along the bank. Mostly I liked your explanation of doing full circle and moving on. Usually if I have 1-2h to roam some bank I will just bring one rod (56g test). With backpack this gives me opportunity to litterally cast on the move. Oh and cheers from Estonia!

Greetings from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 only question I have is what do you feel are the best times of day for things like pike and fishing in general? (Best times of day in relation to times of year are nice to know too) 😊

[@KevinRDSL]

I recommend to try fishing with voblers only and make a video of pike fishing with them

[@andycrawford1885]

Nice tips 👍

[@kanalgratisdotse]

Andy Crawford I’m glad you liked them! Thanks for watching 👊🏼

[@andycrawford1885]

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I think you have good knowledge of the pike keep the good work up

[@chaos_f4i]

Take some form of carbonated really fizzy drink as it helps stop bleeding from gill hooked/gut hooked fish and might save a fish's life

[@gostagos6143]

here's a question that I have since I started watching all these Swedish high class pike fishing videos: why do you guys hardly ever fish double bladed bucktail spinners? Fishing in Germany they have saved me more than once from blanking. and got me nice bycatch on the smaller sizes like db6...

[@patoche6628]

Nice video I really like you, I'm french

[@kanalgratisdotse]

Thank you very much!

[@bbfishing9573]

Make multiple casts in the same ar area if your bumping or getting bites

[@irmollaar]

My tip. Vary your retrieve. Fast, slow, pauses, try different things. With jerkbaits I like to jerk it every 2 seconds or so but i still mix it up

[@icep34ch]

Hey can you give me some weight tipps for fishing for pike in different water depths? I dont know which weight to choose if the pikes are standing in 8m water depth for example... My bait is a 20cm pig shad... Which weight would you choose for 2,4,6,8,10,12 m waterdepth?

[@oskaribrooks9723]

[@FVT-tn8ji]

Using a wolfram leader on your perch rod to be safe and fishing a fluocarbon on your pike rod xD I would have done it the exact other way

[@rafmak7656]

Hi. What reel are you using?

[@gustavmalm112]

YES YES YES

[@K.B.Fishing]

I would prefer first to cast to your left and right. If there is big fish, you don't want to disturb them with a fish you hooked further away

[@valtern1200]

I have never caught 2 pike at the same spot this might be why

[@kjellremi89]

Hi, I have a question, so I live in the U.S and am wondering if it’s possible to get your baits when I live here because they all look so cool but I don’t know how to get them and would they even be effective here? Thanks

In estonia fishermen who catch pike and use softbait they say that do some pauses into reeling, like do two times reeling and pause for a half of second.

[@netspl1t]

Don't agree with the sun feather method. A skilled angler is able to read the water and determine where to focus the majority of the casts.

[@lotarrrrr]

Tip number 6 Always take a backpack, and if you don't have one, get one...

[@MrRobsec]

Use deeper....
