Go Retro to Catch More River Pike

Using a 1970s Lure and an Old Pike fly, I demonstrate how to catch cautious River Pike by abandoning modern lures and employing old Skool tried and tested methods. I also give advice on staying mobile and stealthy and get to share the magic of pike fishing with a passing family, grandmother Hazel, mother Keeley and little Axton who got to stroke his first Pike! Enjoy!

i think its a creek chub pikie (a uk record breaking lure until this feb) i could be wrong thou!! great vid mate, always good hearing a voice from our province on YT

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks mate, I have had three saying that name! Wow 🤩 I didn’t realise that this was a record smasher! Looking forward to a trip back home to give it a blast! Thanks brother!

Great catch and timing for others to witness while out for a walk. Good on you. I’ve also caught using the older Abu Hi-Lo lures and still rate them highly

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks mate, I might have stored that capture away in my memory banks but with that wee boys reaction it has got to be one of my fish captures of the year! Thanks for watching mate

Thank you, it is great to showcase angling in a good light to a world that often passes by waterways oblivious to the magic of what lies beneath

Thank you very much! ⭐️

piker, how did you weight your pike fly to be able to cast with a normal rod ? or are they already pre weighted. I would love to try that method on the river for chub too if there are any similar chub flies. thanks.. local boy jim

[@PikerBiker]

Hi matey, I will be doing a new in depth video to show how to do this and yes, it is deadly for all species. Perch too! You just need a selection of Cheb weights but I find 7gram to be perfect in most river conditions. Thanks and I will do a specific video breaking down the method

Congratulations a well deserved fish.

Thank you Mr Mad Fisherman! You are the man!!!
