It’s not all plain sailing but I finally banked a Jack Pike

[@LR-Fishing]

“Turd Burglars” 🤣🤣 lovely video mate. You’re getting out, that’s the main thing. The fish will come along in time 👌🎣

[@danspuggti]

I certainly wouldn’t mind catching the fish that grabbed that one! Those marks on the side looked relatively fresh too. I do respect anglers that share the highs AND the lows of their fishing. It’s far too easy for people watching videos to become blinkered thinking that we catch every time we go out. Keep at it though and you’re time will come because those 20’s are in there (I had one myself a week or so back) 👍🏻

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Nice one, yeah it’s not all catch is it

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

I started watching you before you started with the flies, and back then your main lure was a squirrly burt, would love to see you dust them off and give them a cast again

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Honestly Paul, I need to dust them off and re- weight them and get on it

[@pagey5323]

The frown is upside down matie 😂 after “Turd Burglars” , great honest upload mate .

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers 👍

[@leejohnson7471]

Love the videos. It's reassuring that it's not just me that blanks.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

👍

[@Boyson66]

Said this before, you really need a treble stinger on the back of those lures. I bought some after watching your vids about a year and half ago and had the same problem. As soon as I put the stinger on the problem went away.

Last couple of weeks have felt like an absolute slog. Great to see you getting one on the bank. Imagine how much easier it would be just to go golfing 😂 It feels like it's about to get really good though now that the weather is finally dipping down a bit.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Tough times mate unless your fortunate enough to live by the Norwich drains 😂

[@philipmurray5493]

Nice one Steve 👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers Phil 👍

Wow. How did turd burglers make the edit?!! 😂😂😂 absolutely class. Not heard that phrase in about 20 years.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

😂😂 I actually don’t know where it came from 😂

[@the_armchair_fisherman]

Well in steve. Itching to get out now and still got weeks left 😅😭

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Get well soon matey

[@the_armchair_fisherman]

@BlackCountryPiker cheers mate 👍👍👍

[@StuWNZ]

You don’t need to catch fish on every video. I post blanking videos. They are still interesting and nice to see. I’d love to get one of those jig flies over here. There’s a sea fish called Kahawai which would smash them I reckon. I get them on soft baits a lot. I’ve got a great video hauling them in somewhere.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers dude, if you send me an address I’ll see if I can get one to you 👍

[@BostinAngling]

Keep getting out looking for that 20lb’er is they key. 🤞 We get to see you have one 🎣🎣🎣

[@BlackCountryPiker]

I do hope to share 20lb catch 🤙

[@OutofluckpikerMJK]

I know exactly what you smell. No smell outdoors hit higher than autumn in northern Europe. We have those exact same species in our softwood forests here in southern Sweden. Lovely smell that is. Wish pike smelt like that, really. Maybe I'd kiss them then..

[@BlackCountryPiker]

😂😂 glad I’m not the only one 👍

[@OutofluckpikerMJK]

What kind of fishing wand do you throw those light jig flies on? What do they weigh wet? Don't use spinning reels, and most of my casting rods are somewhat stiff, a 6'6" 30-80 Zilla Jerkbait rod is my lightest one, only fish for pike, not interested in batfish fishing 😂

[@BlackCountryPiker]

I’m using an Abu Garcia 15-45g 9ft vendetta rod. Probably a bit soft to be fair
