Catching BIG Pike on BIG Swimbaits in Cold Water! Winter Lure Fishing

My first time back out fishing after taking a little 2 month break, freezing cold water temperature (about 5c) and strong winds I knew it was going to be a difficult session but there is always a chance! I decided to throw the 26cm LMAB Kofi roach for the whole session as it has a lot of pulling power, and when the fish are lethargic and cold they aren't gonna move for a small meal!

*I used to fish with a Crippled Killer growing up in the 50/60’s and **enjoyable.fishing** recommend think this lure gas a smoother propeller action. It is a great surface lure.*

Love your videos Dan! Inspiring. Got me into pikefishing again. Yesterday went on a boat session with my mate. Pretty awesome after 12 years. We only caught 3. You make it look way too easy! 😉 Cheers from the Netherlands

[@samthomsonfishing200]

3:59 on the last chuck with that mahi lure you had a follow. Look carefully after the lure comes in vision a pike comes up to get it

[@Jude_Thompson]

It’s just the lure

[@BUSTERy]

Nice to see someone catching pike! I got a new Wessin large lure casting rod a few months back came with a chipped first eye so it was cutting my braid if I cast a certain direction or the line ran over it. Talk about pissed! I lost 3 lures before realising wtf was wrong with it so sent it back and got it back with the tip smashed ffs, not impressed with postal service at all! Good pike fishing weather now and no flipping rod!

HI Dan, what time do you find you get most bites. For me it seems to be between before 8am and then between 10-11am odd I know but most bike on lure have been caught between them times. In winter

[@carlkemp8435]

Hello. Where did you buy the fishing rod? Greetings from Germany! :)

[@ryansimpkins8386]

Hi Dan, I'm new to pike fishing and was wondering if you could do a video on what budget beginner gear to use as I'm using mostly carp gear, rod and reel, I did catch my first pike last week, man they have some teeth, I did not want to pick it up. Lol

[@Johnnyalexwales]

10-30g rod, 13 fishing reel, titanium trace and some Westin softbaits

[@andrewcarson9068]

how do i get a 26cm kofi roach then

@@whippet7080 experiment with your retrieve, speed it up , cpl of jigs or slow it down let your lure go deeper and sink , search the water columns count down 5 seconds then 8 , 12 etc , gd luck 🎣

[@OutofluckpikerMJK]

I know you don't read this Dan but putting a Citrix on a BFT Instinct rod is almost a crime.. such nice rod and such a really bad reel. I bought one Citrix 364 and I fished it ONE time and then sold it on, because it is the worst rickety rackety reel I've ever had in my hands. Daiwas cheapest reel PR100 felt more quality and that reel is no way near a good quality reel. If you read this, go and try out a Tranx/Curado 200/300 or Tatula/Tatula HD LTD/Coastal 200 or Tatula 300, depending on casting weight, for 130g I would have gone 200 size, I opted for the Daiwa Coastal and Shimano Curado M 201 HG as I only use -120/130g rods, as I have no floating device I can't reach pelagic fish and thus no need to be able to cast more than ~120/130g The difference between a Citrix and these reels, are gigantic. They are worlds apart.. Tatula 300, I had for some months, but it is unnecessary heavy for what I throw, so sold it and bought the Coastal instead, superb reel, really like the big EVA round knobs for my nerve damaged fingers I feel that I'm holding on to something. I wish you would come back and continue fish with us!! We need you!!!
