Lake of Menteith Pike fishing

[@ryanhewitt99]

Another great video,cracking session. definitely a holding area for pike there mate, I agree with oils they are working for me on the river this season. Tight lines

[@luredbyesox]

@@ryanhewitt99 thanks ryan 🤝🙂 the spot is on a point where two ledges meet always worth a go there was a couple of fish caught from nearby so no way was i moving the pike definetly pick up on the flavour and on rivers your fishing far more water than just infront of you 👌😊 cheers pal tight lines to you too 👍

[@Wheredafish]

Wowee!! What an absolute TREAT. 5 pike. You truly deserve it. How amazing to see you out there solo boating, videoing and catching. Your laughter is contagious Sean. Thanks for an absolutely brilliant session. You're a ROCK STAR!!! Thank you for going the extra mile for your subscribers. Xxx

[@luredbyesox]

I dont know about rock star 🤭😆 its not easy doing everything out solo especially when someone tangled the front anchor rope in a massive knot 🤦😆 great session though loved the whole trip camping and fishing 👌😎 thankyou 🤝😊

[@rossgirvan1884]

i was fly fishing for pike on the lake a few weeks ago..no pike unfortunately but found a float off that same island with a pike on the end. Lost the pike and the trace but got the rod and reel back with the braid and the float w/ scent cage good to get a tug anyway ^^ Great video

[@luredbyesox]

@@rossgirvan1884 hi ross thanks for watching and commenting 🤝🙂 i did a flyfishing video on there a couple of yrs ago had a great fish that video,s well worth a watch if you hav,nt seen it 👍 the float with the rod n reel doesnt sound good,sounds like its being pulled in 🤔 i,ll be going up again with the flyrod well done getting the rod n reel in 👍🙂

Great session mate. It's a cracking lake. One day maybe if I'm lucky. Been trying king crab last two sessions and nothing yet, hopefully it does a fish for me

Thanks mate it was a great trip allround great to see you two getting into a few 👌😎

[@jamesross1799]

Hi mate it's your mate Jimmy from wakey. Thanks so much for the fishcare liquid and that rainbow trout lure. Also the single strand trace I've never used single strand I always use drennan 7 strand in either 15lb or 28lb depending on the water etc. As soon as I manage to drag mysen away from wharfe whiskers (am still not blanking or at least not yet)I'll give it a whirl thanks again mate 👍 j

[@luredbyesox]

@@jamesross1799 if your still catching old whiskers carry on 👌 for me though you cant beat esox 🤘😎 youll find the titanium single strand miles better than drennan 7strand i used to use it but it kinks really easy the titanium just keeps on going youll get loads of fish on the same trace its brilliant stuff enjoy mate🤝🙂

[@jamesross1799]

@@luredbyesox like I say not used it yet but I can tell its really high quality gear. As for barbel I think I've rode my luck to its limit this season nothing big per se but a lot of fish . Thanks again for all the goodies mate it's very much appreciated 👍 😀 j

@@luredbyesox it's when it chuggs along the surface and your thinking 🤔 "how long do I give this before I smack it hard in the gob ......and when I hit it is it going to be a jack or a lump????,,) it's magic and it casts its spell on you pike fishing mate.

[@keithmercer-t1k]

Great session Sean, well deserved shame Catherine was not there to share in person, and a really good watch thank you - what were you using as your deadbait? See you had a fish finder- what sort of depths were you having to cope with? With regards to the oils it is a confidence thing and perhaps the nay sayers do not understand that- it always makes me smile when you have the godfather lure on - you can just see the confidence oozing- do you have any other lures 😀.As always best regards and thanks for your tips on my learning journey.

[@luredbyesox]

@@keithmercer-t1k morning keith the reason sometimes catherine,s not there is because we have a rescue cat that would cry her eyes out if we left her at a cattery 🐈‍⬛😊 as for deadbait it has to as fresh as possible mine were a mix of sardine,herring and large sprat the depth,s were around 16 to 18ft the flavours i personally think it gives your bait something different for the pike,s taste buds 😋🐊😊 as for the lures ive got far too many 🤭😆 i do have huge confidence in the godfarther have a look at mine n catherines top 5 lures we did a video on it 👍🙂 thanks for your comment keith 👍 keep on piking n tight lines 🤝😊

Ill tell you what really dose attract pike (ive found out without meaning to this summer but obviously its going to) lamprey and smoked herring glug from the barbel bait company 3 foot twitch.

Really like your net what is it?and how come your float stops so high up the line?

[@luredbyesox]

The nets a diawa prorex net provided by the fishery its a really good net rubberised with plenty of depth 👍 the reason my float sits so high is the 3ft uptrace the lead can slide up it on the large bore run ring i,ll do a video sometime describing the whole rig in detail 👍🙂

[@alvleicesterlife5510]

Yeah really like the look of that net,it would be helpful to run through your rig setup.cheers
