Float Tube Pike Fly Fishing. Savage Gear High Rider 170 Setup

Fly fishing for pike 🎣🐊 is my latest fascination, and I am enjoying myself with my Float Tube while pike fishing. Using Savage Gear High Rider 170 Float Tube, taken my pike lure tackle and fly fishing gear and set off for another trip with the belly boat at the end of November. The goal was to find some big pike on the fly.
The day has started amazingly well with a fish over 1 meter 🐊🐊 hitting my fly. Plenty more pike action during the day coming to both, the fly fishing method and lures, namely the Miuras Mouse. The colour of the Miuras Mouse that did the trick was once again the Spotted Bullhead. It was a super cool session as pike fishing in Ireland can be really good.
Enjoy the Video & Tight Lines 🎣🎣

Just came across this channel in the last few days. I'm enjoying all the videos and learning as I watch. I love the joy you get with every hook up! It's an infectious laugh you have Marcin! I haven't yet managed to hook a pike (or mullet or bass!!) on the fly yet. I'll keep trying...

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks Derek, much appreciated mate. I hope it won't take you long, but the journey itself is awesome so enjoy that

[@conorlowry2297]

"These little crazy guys scare the shit out of me"🤣🤣 made me laugh, soo true, another great video marcin, quality fish👏

hahaha true enough, don't mind the big ones lol cheers mate

Ciao, sono un appassionato di pesca 🎣 a spinning in acqua dolce e in mare. Complimenti per le tue catture, le spigole( seabass) sono spettacolari!!!! Un saluto dall'Italia sperando un giorno di venire in Irlanda per una battuta di pesca memorabile!!!! Ciao da Maurizio 🇮🇹🇮🇪

[@MarcinKantor]

Ciao Maurizio, grazie per aver visitato il mio canale e le tue belle parole. Io e mia moglie amiamo l'Italia e la visitiamo il più possibile. Tutto il meglio con la tua pesca! (PS: spero che il traduttore automatico sia buono ;) )

[@zagorfario51]

Ciao Marcin, il traduttore automatico è perfetto, sono contentissimo che l'Italia vi piaccia e spero che ogniqualvolta avete visitato il mio Paese vi siate trovati bene. Un abbraccio e..." sempre in pesca" come si dice qui da noi!!!🎣🐟

Great video again ! Well presented, explained tactics and gear. Great job. Thanx Marcin !

My pleasure! and thanks very much Jacek!

Yeah indeed “a day full of action” ... nice video mate ...

[@MarcinKantor]

Thank you mate, we need more days like that 😉

[@IrishAnglingAdventures]

Nice Day out Marcin. Hope to get out on the Pike as soon as possible now with weather getting warmer

[@MarcinKantor]

The best time is literally just around the corner. Hope to be able to get out before it's too late

Nice video Marcin , good sizes pikes , congrats 👍👏

Wow... It's winter in Korea, so freshwater fishing or sea fishing is not easy yet, but it's amazing to see meat coming out!

it's all C&R as you can see there

great watch! love to try pike from the tube and on the fly rod... awesome :)

Thanks Darren, nice when the play ball

[@properpiker3219]

@@MarcinKantor it sure is 👍🏻👍🏻

[@aidy8093]

Another great video Marcin 👍 maybe try feathering the cast before the mouse hits the water, it should straighten the lure out and keep it away from your leader.

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks mate, unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Seems best if just let hit the water at full speed. Between this and the tail catching hooks it's really annoying. Shame, such a good lure that...

[@aaronmaughan1]

@@MarcinKantor also use a multiplier or bait caster. Much smoother feathering using your thumb. Using the spinning reel makes the lure tumble. This drove me crazy with the pig shads. With the multi you never loose tension during casts. Like a yo yo 😂. Great vids bud keep them coming.

[@MarcinKantor]

@@aaronmaughan1 thanks for the heads up. I've a hate / hate relationship with casting gear lol had two attempts at it, a couple of weeks each time, and very soon I was selling the gear :) just doesn't work for me, hate the shorten casting, although agree with all the pros you said. Still I find much more comfy with the spinning gearl. Although I must say, the Penn slammer 3 is a beast and until I got it with extra heavy rod, it wasn't quite right. It's really, really nice now. But then again, after forgetting how much I hate the baitcasting, I am getting drawn back to thinking about it and giving it a 3rd go LOL

[@aaronmaughan1]

@@MarcinKantor what is the rod your using. Looking for a heavy spinning setup for guests that don’t like the upside down reels 😂. Yes I understand some people just don’t like bait casters.

[@MarcinKantor]

@@aaronmaughan1 I'll come down with my own if that's what you're asking about hahaha Westing W4 Powercast or Powershad up to 130gr. Cracking rod really, especially with the Penn slammer 3. What's the best bait casting reel you'd recommend bud?

[@pedros1410]

Very nice Marcin 👍 I’m usually change fly after second fish or 15 to 20min without contact with fish .

[@MarcinKantor]

That's a nice rule Pawel, Nice 👍 I'll try to follow it the next time instead of using one pattern all day long lol

[@gavharker2254]

Marcin, could you tell me what waders you use and what size flippers,thanks

[@MarcinKantor]

I am fairly sure I had Vision Koski in this video. Also I find Wychwood Gorge very good. the flippers are from decathlon and they come in one size but you can adjust them

[@gavharker2254]

Cheers mate, it seems we both post float tube piking vid at the same time lol added yours to watch later 👍

[@castnorthangling5964]

Haha what are the chances

[@adrianmedvec7380]

Great video Marcin, as usual. Do you think you get more action with fly compare to regular lures? Never tried fly fishing, but Miuras mouse is one of my favourite lures, it’s a big fish catcher🎣

[@MarcinKantor]

Thank you Adrian. Yes, I'd say so, but it's partially because the flies I use are smaller that Miuras Mouse or other big lures and therefore more small fish will hit it, whereas big lures are more selective. It's awesome fun tho. When I master my casting I will be caring really big flies for big pike 🤙🎣😁

[@seanmuldoon6358]

Boom 🔥🔥👊

[@MarcinKantor]

💪💪

[@mickysly1]

Yes mate I’m the same with lures an bass fishing, I’ll have one on say a Walker, then I’ll want to change to a lead head or something completely different.... weird ? 😂😂😂😎😍

[@MarcinKantor]

hahaha, and then I bet you if you won't catch you're thinking, what would have happened if I haven't changed lol glad I am not the only one then!! that's why the fishing is cool, isn't it?

[@mickysly1]

@@MarcinKantor this year I’m trying fly fishing for bass, I used to trout fish many many years ago tying my own flys etc etc , saw all my gear still in the loft all shiny.... so thought hmmmm I’ll give it a go 😳😂😂. Not really the heavyweight stuff but was ok for reservoir trout !! So should be ok at close quarters bass stalking 😎😎😎 need to give that a go in the summer. Know just the place too 🌞🌞🤞🤞

[@MarcinKantor]

@@mickysly1 sounds awesome, just the sun emoji suggest your spot is somewhere abroad 🤣🤣🤣 I tried it last year only once with the lockdown but will also be giving it more time this year. #9 is what they say is the right job for bass

[@mickysly1]

@@MarcinKantor no sunny abroad trips for me mate 😢😢, no I meant there’s a few “local secret” spots I know of 😂😂😂 I’m based down here in the southeast England (Kent), and spinning for bass is just getting popular/started for the mass’s. I’ve found a few good spots that I can fish very close in, so they might do well for the fly. Will be good to see a few vids of you doing some fly/bass fishing later mate. Keep up the good work mate 👍👍😎😍🇬🇧

[@MarcinKantor]

@@mickysly1 thanks again Mike, will try my best to have some decent material to post when they let us out eventually!! Just be careful, I'm being told once you get a bass on the fly you will not want to use the spinning gear again 😉 tight lines for the season ahead 🎣🎣🎣

hi marcin , what lake are you fishing on?

it's not a lake actually, but I wouldn't be naming it either way 👍

o dzięki wielkie :)

[@codyprice1987]

Why not pinch your barbs for easy removal of your hook out of the fishes mouth?

[@MarcinKantor]

I do it for all trebles on lures, 50/50 on single hooks still. The problems with flies were more about the fly hair tangling in their teeth tho

[@codyprice1987]

Up where I live in Northern Manitoba it’s illegal to use barbed hooks. But drive 5 mins to Saskatchewan and barbed hooks are allowed. I pinch them in Saskatchewan too just for easier removal. Great video none the less. Just earned a subscriber 👍🏻

@@codyprice1987 thanks a lot Cody! Oh man, I would so love to come over for some fishing. Just wouldn't know if I'd like a big laker, muskie, sturgeon or salmon best 🤷 or perhaps I'll come for a month and have it all ticked off... 😉🎣🎣
