I got Invited to Fish a PRIVATE Reservoir... (Here's what Happened!) 😯

[@benharry9117]

Usual Sunday . I’m at work, so as usual as soon as I get home I’ll enjoy watching this video :)

[@adventurefishinguk]

Have a good day at work mate and I hope you enjoy the video later!

[@FishWith_Fin]

Hi george just here to say that its nice to see you views up you deserve every single one well done on everything

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate a huge amount of time and effort goes into it so i appreciate that a lot!

[@callumnoblett4905]

Enjoying these Subday vids George. Lot of work done to get fished, edited and posted. Well done

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks a lot mate, a huge amount of time and effort goes into them!

Thanks for watching mate, every day is a school day!

[@leejohnson7471]

Great video im hooked on lure fishing thanks to you and others posting these videos.Look forward to your next one George ❤

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks a lot for watching mate!

[@trevorroberts-o7q]

You get to fish some really interesting , scenic and unusual places. I thought the hooks on your mate's eel shaped lure might have been too strong to set properly but they did finally work. That swift flowing river on the other side looked interesting too. Hope you get to fish that reservoir again soon. Tight Lines !

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, I try my best! Hopefully i'll be back at some point for another go 👍

[@alexabyronfujino8320]

This place looks amazing. I'm so jelly!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Really cool spot isn't it, thanks for watching!

[@Will-am-i]

Another great video, shame you didn't manage to get the all elusive big pike. Thanks for sharing, George. Tight lines.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate really happy you enjoyed the video! I’ll be back after the big one one day. Connor saw it follow his lure in twice on a previous visit 👍 just happy to catch fish regardless of size!

excellent vid. never seen eels like that . need to get a few of them, cheers

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate! They're great lures!

[@DavidcCbrider]

Great stream . Please show us your rigs and knots . We all need to learn . Thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@PandoraChaser2]

Conors 1st landed pike was a real beauty, totally pristine like a bar of gold! Your BEAST on that Snake Lure was amazing. Reminded me of a spot on the Tiverton Canal, that has some amazing top water pike fishing. Sadly on my last visit, there had been a low O2 mass fish kill event, and dead 20lbers and doubles etc were everywhere. It's hopefully recovered now to it's former glory, as it's got same absolute crocodiles in there for such a tiny shallow venue.

[@GeteP]

Yes Mate! another quality video. It's always time to "shut up and watch" when you upload something new! Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@adventurefishinguk it's a pleasure! Great footage. And you love perch! Good enough for me!

Good session George loved the knees shaking pulling that big pike in 😂😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@felix-eg3ew]

great video george provable trout in there to🎣👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, I'd say there will be a few swimming around for sure!

[@alanjust]

Nice one George! Looked a lovely place to fish but no easy access for a lot of it. My Smuggler 7 has arrived and I’m looking forward to using it next month when it cools down a bit.

[@adventurefishinguk]

It was a great place mate! Agreed the access was difficult, lots of high banks and vegetation. I’m sure you’ll love your smuggler 7 👍

[@geordiejones2]

Great clip my friend, if your stuck for a gift idea for your friend Conner for Christmas, may i suggest a Rabbits foot, so unlucky in this vlog. Chris. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@adventurefishinguk]

Haha a good idea but i'm not sure where I would source a rabbits foot from!

[@johnrickards1908]

Really great video George, earned a sub from me. Don't know why I hadn't done it sooner, duhh.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks a lot for subscribing mate I really appreciate it!

[@northernirishviking7283]

Nice video mate, the tiny pike remind me of pickerel

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, I've always wanted to catch one of those!

[@northernirishviking7283]

Same here and the big muskie too, on my to do list

[@tonycamplin8607]

You certainly get around to some great places. That eel lure needs a hook in its tail, I suspect that the lost fish were just hanging on to the end of it. Good luck for next time.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate! It's quite possible that happened yes 👍

@@adventurefishinguk i didnt expect that at the end lol the big pike right there awesome..

[@neilanderson5172]

Fished there a couple of times but always blanked , had many good pike out of the big glacial lake 10 mins drive from there 👍

[@Edge-of-Reason]

Glad to see you monitor water temps. Personally id say it's pretty far from ideal but at least you have standards. Most on YT don't even think about it and then moan about pike not getting big.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Yeah they're around 16 in my local canal at the moment which is really shallow so in a deep lake like this with an in and outflow i'd say they would be even lower! Thanks for watching 👍

[@callumthomson1592]

Great video, as always. email sent and look forward to the next video.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate I'll check my email!

[@andrewshires1766]

grand bit of fishing

[@brandygrandon8101]

i think your jinksing him ever time you bring that net lol.good luck

[@AlexBoom73]

those weedy spots you perfectly could have fished with a dropshot rig, big perch tend to either be on structure in deep water or hide in the shallows between the weeds depending on the water type and where the bait fish is concentrated

[@adventurefishinguk]

I certainly could have, my tackle box could do with a bit of an upgrade I think! Thanks for watching 👍

[@PaulJones-u3e]

A cracking pike

[@baldvale5418]

1:30 was that a savage gear Reel or a savage gear eel ;) Hi George what a special place that lake is, it screams of Pike too. Please you must go back there again to try and catch the big girl as these are the places that all us Pike anglers dream of fishing.

[@adventurefishinguk]

I'll have to go back for another go at the big ones at some point! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@kieronlines8034]

Love the videos that camera are you using for the chest cam?

[@darrengill4765]

Might be worth a stinger treble on the eel's tail to hopefully cut down on long distance releases.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Very good idea and thanks for watching!

[@attermire2109]

Don't wind Bob!

[@adventurefishinguk]

😂 thanks for watching!

[@Jacobdaddy.12]

Maybe try a single stinger hook connected to the second treble hook

[@TheBudgie29]

George, In such deep water like that, you have to retrieve deep and slow, with small jerks every turn of the reel. Then a pause for a second, before jerking and reeling again. I saw You were doing a straight retrieve, this Is way too fast. That Is some place, and there are hundreds of hidden places like this, with really big fish In them. I know quite a few here, that have had no action In years. The fish (If still in them) must be huge by now.

[@martinsowerby5069]

Used to fish there about 30yr ago, it was stocked with rainbows so any pike caught we're to be removed, lots of perch aswell.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate, really cool place isn’t it! Seems like it’s been stocked quite a bit over the years 👍

[@johnbemister1508]

Was the small 'saved ' pike, safer in the little overflow pond 😂

[@MaxHarvey519]

Nice video have u fished the river ribble

[@adventurefishinguk]

A couple of times mate yes but not for a good while!

[@yep.fishing]

OMG dude the thumbnail looks almost identical to the reservoir I went to the first time today all the way on the south coast of Australia

[@adventurefishinguk]

Did you get many fish? I’d love to come fishing down under one day!

[@yep.fishing]

@@adventurefishinguk nah it started blowing 40km/h. Apparently once upon a time it had 5 trout species and perch in it but they treated the water and more or less the trout are non existent in there. Any time you come down under your welcome to stay with me. I live near the end of the great ocean road which is a major tourist attraction.

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Looks like a beautiful venue but doesn't seem to hold many fish

[@misdit]

Just a thought .... the high loss rate with that eel lure makes me pretty sure that they were never really hooked in the first place, having just grabbed the long tail. As you know, predatory fish will hang on to a meal for as long as they possibly can, before eventually letting go.

[@adventurefishinguk]

It’s quite possible yes, that’s the main issue with those lures. The tail has a great action but the hookups can be tricky on smaller fish!

[@misdit]

@@adventurefishinguk yes indeed. I think I'd maybe form up a short link of wire trace from the eye of the back treble hook to a small treble in the tail, just to pick up the smaller fish. Even a big perch would struggle to get to the existing hook arrangement. Those lures were probably made with barracuda in mind!

[@johnrickards1908]

​@@misditStriped bass in the USA and, yes, they often resort to a 'stinger' rig to pick up the short strikers. 😊

[@StuWNZ]

Maybe put a stinger hook on the tail. That'll sort that out. ​@adventurefishinguk

Another brilliant video. Great to watch

I have a quick question what would b e your recommended spinner for trout let me know please 😀

[@And-Not-Do-What-I-say]

Hook set man, like have hard mouths. Pull hard the first pull you feel bub. Sharpen your hooks

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for the advice mate!

[@TopG-o1v]

And once again you caught sod all

[@stevenhowes3346]

Hello, how did you manage to get an invite to fish this spot. My father and I were members of a private fishing syndicate there for a good few years. I thought it was closed. I lo e that spot we used to stock it twice a year with rainbow trout, guess that's why the pike are so big.

[@adventurefishinguk]

My friend Connor knows lots of farmers and landowners in the area from shooting and other various things I believed. He kindly organised the permission!

[@And-Not-Do-What-I-say]

Lastly. Ya need a stiffer rod to set the hook.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Me or Connor? I didn't actually have a bite from a pike all day

[@transform_property_spain]

I could get permission for you to fish a river for large mullet and sea trout . Never fished . Im in Northern Ireland.

[@adventurefishinguk]

That sounds like great fun, quite the journey for me to get over there though but stay in touch because I’d love to visit Northern Ireland one day!

[@NiallMurphyphotography]

@@adventurefishinguk quite the journey 😂😂

[@samuelgarrod8327]

​@@NiallMurphyphotographyThe Irish ocean is massive though.

he could go any where more or less anywere in n.ireland and fish for them without permission needed bar the rod licence for trout 😂

[@polosbigman3673]

another good one! I love your videos, I just have one question. Is there any clubs or ways that you find rivers where your allowed to use lures/spinners for trout? everywhere ive seen is only fly fishing and very expensive and elite.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for watching mate! Just plenty of research, there are places to be found for sure. The amount of availability does vary by region too, it's not too difficult where I am!
