Nice vid. First fish caught on the pause. Love the pause. Classic.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Thanks David! The pause is definitely the most exciting part, when you get that sixth sense that there’s a fish under the lure, it’s hard to explain the feeling 😁

[@Ja_szczupak]

3/4 of the pike hits during jerking are when the lure stops. Try the technique of 2 hard pulls, then 1-2 seconds pause, 2 pulls again, 1-2 seconds pause, etc. You'll see a difference in the results.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Yeah definitely man, they always love that tiny pause, probably the most exciting form of lure fishing 😅

[@yep.fishing]

Nice to see the harbour, I know they have boats docked in lakes in the US too but in Australia I can't think of any lakes that have boats docked like that. Usually just ramps and huge car parks.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

It’s a safe enough spot but at the same time there’s always trouble makers doing things to the boats !

[@andrzejlos4435]

Well Done I wasn`t that lucky last friday ... Still very cold... Nice video !!

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Thanks andrzej yes the water temps are still very cold ! 🎣

Been using the salmo sliders the last few months, they are quickly becoming my go to lures. Thanks for the great content man.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Love the sliders they are so easy to use aswel 🙏🎣

[@kieran3237]

Have you seen the new 16cm salmo sliders Cormac?look good.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

@NobleKorhedron the best option for us is 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon. Pike won’t bite through that. I’ve used it for 4 years now and you can imagine how many meter pike it’s landed and I’ve never ever been broken off. You can’t see the “weakness” on wire until it’s too late and snaps, heavy fleuro you can notice nicks after 20-30 fish and then change leader accordingly, it’s really the best option in my opinion.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

@@NobleKorhedronyou’re welcome to your opinion, I’m not going to tell you how to fish. If you don’t like it you don’t have to watch. Thank you.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

@NobleKorhedron all good friend. lose the anti-kink vane. Simple leader for lure fishing we use -> mainline 60-80lb braid - swivel(palomar knot) - around 60cm of 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon tied to a 250lb stayloc snap - to your lure. It’s very simple but effective. See my previous video on how to tie your fleuro leader. Lose the wire, you won’t look back, just don’t use anything lighter than 1mm 105lb fleuro. And use good knots, that’s most important, it will not fail, I’ve used it for 4-5 years now.

Great videos senan fishing jerkbaits is a fantastic way to get some good sport

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Really good fun man, another few weeks and it will be crazy action in those shallow areas areas🐊

[@paddycarragher9235]

Nice one ,ah the one's that get away thats what makes fishing great craic & makes you come.back for more 💪

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Thanks paddy, yeah It’s good fun even when they come off, getting the hit is enough 😁🙏🎣

[@henz1937]

Do you fish much on the scariff side of the lake I don't have the same success down here as you, I'm really only getting back into the fishing and learning a lot from your channel keep them coming .thanks Mark

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Hi mark, ya the scariff end is full of big fish, lots of good weedbeds this time of year for pike and rocky structures to hold the trout. Side imaging will help you to find them structures to concentrate on. ☺️

[@Lucian66642]

Any tips for using jerkbait only getting back into it and seem really good

[@kieran3237]

Nice video Senan,i definitely going to do more jerkbaiting this yr,its exciting to feel that hit...have you seen the new 16cm salmo sliders?they look class.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Would love to pick up the 16cm sliders, always sold out when I have the money 😂

[@ownerlaptop1169]

You are a legend

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Nice one thanks for watching

[@potluckfishing]

Nice one Senan.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Thanks pal 👍

[@pauriccox2153]

Good stuff Senan

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Thanks pauric ☺️

[@colinhalligan8527]

Nice lures, Have to get some now ! Do you crush the barbs down for easier unhooking ?

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Hi Colin! No I don’t debarb any of my pike lures, honestly with stiff rods you will just lose a huge amount of fish when they roll on the surface, a small barb on a hook won’t do any more damage to a fish than the treble hook already has done ☺️ that’s just my opinion man, I took out 2 lads yesterday, one lad had barbless trebles, hooked 4 fish lost 3 at the net due to barbless hooks, it’s just a nightmare trying to land them even if you keep pressure on, I’d rather keep the small Barb on them, never had any problem unhooking a pike ☺️🙌

[@colinhalligan8527]

I’ve all mine crushed and rarely loose fish but I’m not fishing from a boat could be something to do with a moving boat ? Bit easier to get out of a finger also on a bad day 😂

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Oh I hear ya man there’s definitely some positives to it 😂👍 pulled a hook from my thumb last year, pike was still attached to it in the net at the time, sore one 😂👍

[@pajnolan4459]

​@@senanstanleyfishingI've sat on a barbed treble before 😁 wouldn't recommend it!

[@darraghgubbins9653]

Well lad looking to try fishing in Roscommon any tips

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Youl pick it up in no time man, just get out there as much as possible, if you’ve friends that fish go together it will make it more fun for you at the start ☺️👍

[@Glenco_4]

[@Glenco_4]

[@Glenco_4]

Thanks senan big fan the videos keep them coming🤙🏼🐊🎣wish I was out today but have the flu maybe next weekend😂

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Nothing like seeing a pike swipe at at jerk bait in clear water.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Gets the blood pumping 🔥

[@rbrady85]

That 9.9 can push on rightly

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Oh shes well able to move 👌

[@gavink03]

Broke that same rod twice haha don’t ask how

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Goway haha, could have been a problem with the rod I’ve heard a few lads broke these sg2 ones

[@gavink03]

@@senanstanleyfishing I’ll go with that sure hahaha

[@jameslalley3787]

American pike guy here with a tip ! When ya get a short strike or follow don't pull the bait out of the water ! Instead leave 3-4 ft of line out from the tip and make side to side sweeps with the rod tip ! It aggravates a pike ! If he follows but still doesn't strike sweep it over his head or a figure 8 pattern ! They will come after it buddy !

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Great advice there man! I find that also, casting back over it immediately will get a second strike, it’s just when they suddenly appear under the rod Tip and bolt off when they see you that annoys me 😂👍 all part of pike fishing , they appear out of nowhere 😁

[@pajnolan4459]

Sound advice James 👍

[@jameslalley3787]

@@senanstanleyfishing Pike love to track baits from beneath! That’s why they are called the Ghosts ! Saw a 40”er eat a gosling once ! God’s Honest !

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Absolutely, you’d never even know there’s a pike underneath tracking the lures 🐊
