Deadbaiting for Pike in The Trossachs

A few hours on the bank of a loch in the Trossachs. I finally broke my pike blanking streak..

Great vid mate, good set up

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Thanks mate!

[@markcresswell8088]

Enjoyed that mate........can you turn the alarms up a bit, we didn't hear them in The Midlands LOL

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Haha I did realise when watching it back that I should have turned them down in post 😂

[@james94666]

Just a bit of friendly advice eye noticed you have no drop back indicators, when ledgering it's a must as they stop you deep hooking pike bye showing drop back run's when the pike swims towards you the indicator will drop without out them the pike could be sitting there swallowing your bait and you wouldn't have known hope this helps you in the future 👍

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Hi, I do actually have them and normally do use them. Had my first ever drop back the other week so they are worth having

Pike police will keep you right

Enjoyed your video I often go walking in the trossachs but not pike fish yet. Is that loch achray location as it looks familiar? I wouldn’t mind meeting up with you for some guidance/ instruction next time I am up as just getting some pike gear together Newbee 👍

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Thanks! Pike fishing is good fun, one of the most important things about it is learning how to handle these awesome fish. Yep that’s the spot, mostly small pike in it but still good fun. Sure I’m always happy to help

[@gerrygorman273]

Ive only recently started to do pike fishing, im a tad nervous to handle them, any tips?

[@CJsReelAdventures]

I’d recommend watching ginger fisherman’s videos on how to unhook pike safely, once you know how go handle them and have a decent pair of forceps and unhooking mat it all becomes quite easy. You’ll get use to holding them pretty quick, one of the easiest fish to handle once you know how! If I do some pike fishing in the near future I’ll include a tutorial too. Tight lines mate

[@jamesturner5317]

Loving your videos. Have you had any more luck on the Allan ?

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Thanks mate! I’ve had a sea trout and lost a grilse at the net last month, it’s been surprisingly quiet considering all the rain but hopefully I’ll bump into something soon

[@HookedOnAngling]

Just found your videos. Local loch to me. Can’t beat the views in the trossachs. Are you local aswell?

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Yep not far from here! I’ve seen your videos before, you have some of the old forth? That’s an interesting river to fish, do you ever get any pike off it? I know there use to be a good number in there

[@HookedOnAngling]

@@CJsReelAdventures nice one. Yeh I do have some of the old forth. To be honest I haven’t done much with it this season. For a few reasons. But now it’s all sorted. I’ll be looking forward to next season on it. We have had a few smaller pike on it. Nothing huge so far but we haven’t really targeted it. Do you have some way I could message you? Wondering if you’d like a season permit for it (on me) and maybe we could do a couple vids or something. I’m going to be targeting pike on it soon if you’d like to join. I have heard many stories and one amazing story from a diver that will never get back in the old forth due to how big a pike was there. So I’m keen to deadbait it and see if there is in fact still monster pike in it.

[@CJsReelAdventures]

@HookedOnAngling That would be awesome mate sounds great! Here’s my email, [e-mail] Cheers!

[@paulburgess176]

that was a nice place I fish Scotland when I get the chance but litter is a big problem every where

[@CJsReelAdventures]

Unfortunately it is, not many places where litter isn’t a problem around here!
