Exploring The Forgotten Ponds! Belly Boat Pike Fishing!

Well i decided to go back to the Forgotten Ponds in search of some pike! This time with the aid of a float tube! It enabled me to get amongst the trees and navigate the maze that is the forgotten ponds. I managed a few fish, but it seemed the pike might of had other things on their minds.

Well after I'd finished filming this video my fears were confirmed when i discovered a group of pike partaking in sexy time. I'm confident that if the pike hadn't of been spawning then i might of been able to get twice as many pike. It seemed as though it was only the not as mature pike feeding. Hopefully next time we can crush it!

The sword. You got the sword from the lady in the lake and yet you complain about pike having sex... You turn down the Excalibur and complain about fish having sex. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 Cool session though. ♥️

[@needham831]

Wait until they are done mate then get back out there with the bellyboat. The fish aren't that big but that looked a lot of fun.☺ By the way, I think you should use some shallow running lures and plugs over the weed there. Bag yourself a bonus fish or two lurking under the weed. ☺🎣

[@markymark1940]

Get out again looked class defo part 2? Ps maybe some top water 🐸 you did see the spawn in your hand top water frogs for me in there.all day long over they weeds pike for fun

[@matc4742]

Sure your not meant to fish in there lol great vid

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

@@matc4742 club water and thanks buddy

[@cliffdixon6422]

Only a mad northerner would stick his feet in the freezing water this time of year. Nice one Chris, great vid

[@Davidkinzett]

I go out in winter layer up n seakskin socks n a set or thermals. You sound. But still freezing 🤣

[@steffenblokvigberg1861]

"Fish gonna think a big old duuuck!😂 Nice one

[@GEEMANGONEWILD]

Nice Chris, great to explore virgin territory and you obviously had a ball please do another vid. We call those float tubes in Australia but only really use them in the Southern States. In North Queensland and Northern Territory you’d be like a surface lure to a Croc and you’d be buggered paddling back with no legs😂

[@terryblush]

Deffo do another belly boat episode. I love my belly boat. It’s so much freedom and peaceful plus’s you can target areas you couldn’t get to before

[@KozmykJ]

Looks like a telescopic 'punting' pole and maybe a collapsible paddle could come in useful.

[@MattCatches]

I just lost a massive carp while your video was playing and I am finishing watching your video while crying inside 😭😭😭

[@NetfishnChill]

6 minutes In I'm cracking up with a Hugh smile on my face can't wait for the rest 🤣👊💚

[@cheza7061]

Yes definitely 👍Great video. 🎣😎🐟

[@Jakeos2]

"I lost my flipper!!!" that sent me hahaha, amazing video!

[@freedomofabird]

Really enjoyed that, thinking about buying a float tube like that and came across your channel.

[@neilbuckard723]

Another great video buddy👍⭐️👊💯you look like a young tyson fury with the bald look 😅

[@GothicCinderz]

This ep is so funny. I about spit my drink when you lost your flipper. HAHAHA Those fishing tubes are great. :)

[@justluvfishinguk]

Awesome buddy .. fast Action .. yes do it again .. Cheers Chris & Sam

[@Trevor_Austin]

I love the green bag on the left and red or the right. Nothing quite like sticking to a convention.

[@dannyharris3580]

"Just need to find the nob...knobules" 😂 nice correction 😂

[@romanmathez9259]

Good Video👍🏻😎I see all of your episodes , because i fish much like you do in similar waters .... greetings from Switzerland ....🙋🏻‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻

[@fidelcastro9579]

Excellent work. Reminds me of the various pike content from Finland. Being mobile is a game changer. 👊

[@Davidkinzett]

Great video. I've had a float tube 3 years now n had so many fish from un accessible areas..Great bit of kit. The white Cross brace separater needs to go inside the mesh section. Then clipped in either side 👍

[@DzudemR]

What float tube is that U used any recommendations?

[@368degreefishing4]

That would be AWSOME way to go!

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Belly boat pike attacks where GREAT too watch!!!!

[@Burnersforvanlife]

That last one was like a miniature torpedo. Great fun.

[@pawelandrzejak3325]

Exelent film 👌

[@piyachetty3023]

Awsome video when we going to see you in a kayak ✌️🇿🇦

[@philthorpe4549]

Wonder if I was the only one waiting for you to hook into a 10 pounder and get towed up and down the pond for ten minutes... ;) Great film Chris

[@simonmoore904]

👍 Great video

[@darrenbeechall7020]

Great stuff but you are crazy for trying that bet it's good leg workout 😅🎣👍 you not scared of big 20+lb pike mistake your flippers for fish and munch on your foot 😅🤔😛 great content chris 👍

[@bobieslaw1]

Another one please! Keep em commming!

[@nathanjgallagher2837]

Yeah fish it again Fella good Fun Watching ?

[@seanfraustus]

Glad you had fun buddy 👊

[@hanzelman1963]

Nice vid Chris, i saw the weather was better as it was here! I love these nice little babypikes, in about 6 weeks the closed period is over and we can fish in the Netherlands too, till then am gonna see how you guys catch some pike! Best regards mate 👍😎

[@patchthesinclair5896]

Wow, cool.... Learning curve 😄

[@Nutberg20]

Simply awesome!

[@Jreeez]

if theres alot small pikes, there's also few big pikes around, awesome video once again!

[@anytimefishingandoutdoors6983]

I do love me a pike fishing vid. It’s most of what I fish for here in Canada.

[@differentfins]

I like all fish but yeah pike fishing is a blast here in Canada. Cheers!

[@percher8percher873]

Great video always wanted to try the belly boat looks great fun.

[@thomasburras]

That was ace! Your crazy lol

[@Torius82]

Real cool to see!

[@vr_gamers8116]

I use a long john style neoprene wetsuit and a pair of neoprene kayak shoes with a set of extra long scuba fins, the difference is night and day, also a good PFD is essential, you can use a small lightweight kayak paddle too, if you prefer, or as back up, a leash is a must for your rod and a Go Pro Floaty is also a good idea, belly boats are great fun in calm weather, stay safe m8 and have fun.

[@samdieselpower]

Mate , me and you need to do a session together. I spent all last summer going up and down the Chesterfield canal on a little rib boat and electric engine. Since losing my leg it’s the best way to explore a canal or river. So many good story’s about fishing off that boat. Got a few other venues I want to try it on this summer!! Peto is a good lure 👍also you need to do a runs session at hallcroft. Right laugh on little bite alarms !! Good vid lad 👍.

[@matthewward4334]

Whey I just got one aswell can’t wait for my maiden voyage 🙌

[@nickgraney2119]

Glad you managed to revist the 'Forgotten Ponds', I thought you had forgotten about them. Looks like you had also caught the sun in the closing shoot, good interesting session. Not that you respond to subscribers posts, but what fish are stocked in the ponds, with that many pike it would be a challenge for survival for most other species I would bet. Good production, only missing the usual 'oosh' as your closing words. Nice work Chris, look forward to you getting back to them again at some point

[@jamiemcnab7095]

That was a pleasure to watch, how the hell you cast like that it’s lazer guided

[@angelambriersbriers5026]

Very entertaining.

[@JanekDetko]

Gotta say that looks more hard work then it's worth

[@mrw9513]

Great vlog as always buddy, One quick question, when do you fight Anthony Joshua 😂 😂. You got the Fury vibe going on. Hope you have a great weekend and Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy

[@willstewart9669]

Great video mate,really enjoyed it,u have got to do it again,really cool,take care....

[@piphiemstra1228]

Solid video man! Its always fun to fish where nobody else does! Maybe try to fish shallower/subsurface and remove the extra weight from the lure next time 👌

[@hollythebo]

I’d be too scared of something nipping my legs 😂

[@krisray7463]

I would have wet myself if when you threw the sword into the silt you had accidentally hit your boat 😂😂

[@paulgoodwin4084]

Cool video you help me learn so much about fishing

[@Standerdzz]

Always be safe, especially if you aren’t a confident swimmer.. Take someone with you if you decide to do this!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Like a real man. Instructions, who needs them. By the way the peto 14cm is a great back up lure lad.

[@stevieltiktokshop]

That looks so much fun love the video as always bro :-)

[@RuachEden]

Belly boating? Haven't seen that for years! Quality!

[@tattoedmat]

Yes mate deffinatly get out on it again

[@trevortray541]

Missed this series

[@fishypie]

great vid mr ginge

[@TheGbarber69]

Looked great mate,look forward to next ti e you do it,looks perfect for pike on the fly?

[@tommynaismith6518]

Yes do more lost pond fishing

[@harveyhurrel5005]

Quick tip mate put the white pile threw the end of the net where your knees are it’s allot safer

[@jensnedergaard7206]

"Which some may say is harmonious" :p

[@davebarnett4262]

Next level crazy 😂😂😂😂

[@WolfmanWoody]

I seem to remember you said they belong to a club. If that's correct why don't they do some clearing up. They look like really good ponds. Also, try a Northland reed-runner through that crop of phragmites. Let's see more!

[@zanderdaukantas4155]

Summer would be amazing there with the frog or some sort of top water lure buddy

[@TheBudgie29]

Definitely more forgotten ponds. I must really go over the Miles of Fields by Me, and Investigate all the pools. There are up to seven pools In just one field I know, that had Massive Perch when I used to fish there years ago, God knows how big they are now. Another has loads of Big Roach and Rudd, And one has Pike up 20 pound and Huge Tench. These are not stocked by the Farmer just years of Eggs bought In by Mallards and Coots and Moorhens that nest In them. The pools are still there I checked on Google Maps. And hopefully the Fish are still In them, Could be some UK Record fish In Them. Great Boat, do more In that, You won't need It here though.

[@AR-fq4wz]

The white cross bar goes inside tge sleve of the tray and then yiu hook it in its much stronger. I have a floar tube only used it a few times its pretty cool

[@johnrickards1908]

Chris, why's it called a belly boat? I'm sure you were sitting on your ar... as... Posterior! Great vid man, loved it!

[@WeepingMonk35]

hey there , appreciat for what you do :) all the time like as we all know but where is the location? near leicestershire is very bad fishing

[@tyronealaka6537]

Tyson fury gone Gingrr

[@garrytoole]

Hi bro love your vids used to fish at mainly match angling on commercial waters but due to an injury to my hands and arms couldn't really compete like your style so think I'm going to be tempted back the multiplier bait caster reels what's tge advantage

[@si_blacksheep]

I gotta get me one of those… looks awesome. Where do you find these places Chris?

[@guernica8487]

Would love to see a perch session. How long all in do you reckon to unpack and inflate and then deflate and repack?

[@harveysanglingtv1630]

Great vid, also just wondering what rod that was as it looked really nice

[@stuartcrane9409]

What is the make and model of boat? It certainly looks like your having fun and great results! Great vid as usual

[@daansiderius4283]

Honestly just go pvc.. You will want to do more and heavier stuff and bladders WILL go leaking etc

[@billywhyte4714]

Hi mate. Another great video. Quick question from a complete novice . When I'm dead baiting do I need to use the whole sardine/mackerel etc???..

[@davidhudson7590]

Your baldy 😂never noticed as you always wear cap hey I'm bald and proud saves on haircuts so can buy lures😂

[@VeniViciGamer]

More belly Boat!!!!!!!

[@jasonk1167]

Again Again Again 👌🏻😂

[@BreakerBreakerYeo]

Nice videos, see a baitcaster reel you use how many yards further would it cast than say like a normal reel? I use 18 diawa sensor line, tryed braid before and it isn't good were it's rocky, so would it cast much further with a reel like yours?

[@РыбалкавАнглии-к1ц]

Hi,Great video ✊ Make sense buy belly boat? I fishing in uk on stockton tees wos think to got boat but now change mind start think about Belly boat…?)

[@aslof1069]

That sword is probably 1000 years old xD

[@brandonpisacane2809]

Makes me want to go get mine in the water

[@rustemon3692]

ıt was good challenge.send more pls.

[@Keydan1994]

Kelly's clotted cream.. Great taste in ice cream bud. ;')

[@deanmeat3427]

Finding machetes and that 🤣

[@CraigE415]

Hi I want to get a float tube but was wondering if you need an additional water licence along with your fishing licence? Cheers

[@fuskeren411]

8:15 take the bloody float in the tree

[@DzudemR]

Why you not going off set hook here in the weeds ???

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Quick question if I may, I have put some 16lb nano braid on my Daiwa bait caster reel, in your opinion would it strong enough for pike fishing ?? Or is it ment for slightly smaller fish like perch/ chubb school bass and the like, it's billed as 3 times stronger than normal line. Hope you have some idea or input you might be able to help me with. Cheers Les.

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Are these worth buying if you already have a kayak?

[@jamj9280]

I we still allowed to catch the pike? I thought season was shut till 15 June?

[@samthebarber93]

That only applies to rivers dude

[@420bongs69]

Pike float in the tree at 8:11 lol

[@charmless8358]

Are there any carp in there mate ?

[@iulianmuresanu]

Did you get any leeches stuck to you?

[@Bros795]

Can you Catch a walleye (Zander) or are ther No in your area sry for the Bad english and thx vor the nice vids . 👍

[@droneon01]

Why don't you crush the barbs down on your trebles? Love your videos but I just feel trebles should have crushed barbs 👍

[@jonfisher9214]

Not sure I'd be happy with my legs in the water after that first pike had a leech wriggling around on top of it's head!

[@triumphsteve]

I bet them things are not cheap lol

[@vonhapsburg2700]

what is that thing you are in called?.
