Llandegfedd pike fishing part 1 of 2 (video 119)

[@jackm942]

Nice to see an Englishman fishing in Wales. Top blog!

[@riverpiker]

+Trout Fishing Wales cheers mate. First time there so all new to us. Part 2 next week and we get in on some action! tight lines buddy

[@WorldWideFishingwithAlex]

Great looking lake! Nice catch, can't wait for part 2.

[@riverpiker]

+WorldWide Fishing thanks buddy. Lots of water to cover with depths from 5ft to 100ft so we had so much water to cover. Not easy in one day so we had to do our best.

[@WorldWideFishingwithAlex]

+River Piker yeah, when you have large amounts of water like that it's very hard to track fish. When I was in Sweden in late spring the water levels were very high making fishing difficult. On the top of that I didn't have any fish sonar equipment so I had to locate schools of fish on my own.

[@riverpiker]

+WorldWide Fishing That's not easy at all mate. You need the sonar, finding features, depths and fish otherwise you need lots of luck.

My hometown. When the record got caught they had a load of 40s out that 2 week period and they shifted them to other waters. A joke really but look it up. It had a huge concentration of 40lb plus pike and has done the record twice. However, absolutely rock solid fishing. And thats even if you can get on there as its very much who you know getting on the small list to pike fish it.

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Fishing the big waters can be tough. If it produced record class fish I bet it gets s lot of pressure too. A lot of the lakes here are like that they get fished hard and it's tough to catch. Off to a good start on the pig shad though. Cracker 10kilo Ady had, looked like a gator. Hope the fundraiser meet goes well. Wish I could go.

[@riverpiker]

+Huntnfishnuts This place has been closed for 6 years because after it did the record, it got lots of pressure and then seemed to suffer. They opened it only recently but only for a few days, twice a week for 2 months. Not sure what will happen next year. It will have a big fish or two in it somewhere no doubt. cheers pal

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

+River Piker it looks like a trout fishery? If the pike are eating the pellet fed trout there will be a giant in there. Might be a good place for a line through trout. Tight lines

[@borderlands6606]

A bunch of blokes sitting round the same hole watching each other like hawks, not my idea of fun but each to their own!

[@riverpiker]

These places can be like that. I'm starting to learn that that isn't for me.

[@barneyrichardson4071]

Quality video!

[@riverpiker]

+Barney Richardson Thanks Barney. Sets us up for next week nicely.

[@barneyrichardson4071]

Certainly does! Bet you caught the record in the next episode eh?

[@riverpiker]

+Barney Richardson That would be telling pal. lol (I wish! )

[@61diemai]

I was curious and checked the site of the Llandegfedd fisheries , ....always thought , that over here in Germany we anglers are suffering too many limitations , but looks like you fishermen over there in Great Britain are not much better off either .Kinda funny to me to be limited to two certain weekdays and also at given daily hours , .....but found it of advantage , that outboards are included in the hired boats , but why the heck trolling must be done by oar power ?But why should I even complain , ........on too many smaller and medium sized lakes over here no outboards nor trolling is permitted .Nice clip , I've enjoyed watching ,......greetings , Dieter

[@riverpiker]

+61diemai Lots of restrictions mate. This place was closed for 5 or 6 years and only opened this year for those trials. The idea is so it does not get over fished and the pike suffer because of it. Problem is there's lots of water and you don't have much time to figure it all out, which is a shame. Would love to have a week or so continuous on there to see how we got on. Part 2 on friday you'll enjoy that ;)

[@AdyWoodchucker]

Good start buddy 👍

[@riverpiker]

+Ady Woodchucker cheers pal, we need to go find some fish in part 2 :)

[@Szczupakomania]

Very nice video :)

[@riverpiker]

+Szczupakomania thanks matey, part 2 to come Friday and it gets even better! cheers

[@ThePulzeGamer]

River piker becomes lake piker ;)

[@riverpiker]

+PulzeGaming Practice for when I come over to your lakes buddy ;)

[@ThePulzeGamer]

River Piker Haha cant wait ;)

[@tsctsc4373]

River piker last ? How old do you have to be in the fishing contest tomorrow

[@riverpiker]

+Tsc Tsc Hi mate sorry didn't see this in time. There was no age limit just turn up and fish or learn from a few of us.

[@JamaWest]

you got told at the start there haha

[@riverpiker]

😂😂😂

[@hillbill79]

Have you guys ever fished Wykeham lakes?

[@riverpiker]

No mate, and it's not that far from us either. Did you see the big one came out again recently? Super fish. MAybe we should give it a go one day

[@hillbill79]

Yeah, 41.5lb or something. Monster!! Our lasses parents have a caravan in brid. We go there a few times during the summer. Ill be taking a trip to the lakes each time we go from now. (only taken up fishing again recently). I read that the 40lber isn't in the predator lake either. Pretty cheap really. £8 a day and £10 for a boat. Worth a bash.

[@riverpiker]

thats perfect for you then mate. Yeah i think the big girl lives somewhere else, she also manages to evade capture for a very long time. Worth a bash for that price mate, there's a few other chunky fish in there i'm told.

[@baldvale5418]

Want a Laugh ? watch the video from where you first get into the boat onwards, but here's the catch, put the subtitles on. Trust me, it's hilarious. I don't know who did them but they can't get to grips with your accent at all, and how they translate it beggar's belief. Another Great Video Guys.

[@riverpiker]

ha ha. Mate i've done that before. going back a year or two i spotted subtitles and though that would be good so i watched a video to check. Can't remember which video it was, but I was apparently talking about a cure for cancer and all sorts of other random magic. I'm going to watch this one now and have a chuckle! cheers bud

[@baldvale5418]

Nice one, it had me in stitches. You were going on about Vodka or something. Just finished watching Part two, The 19 pounder was awsome.

[@riverpiker]

That was a hard earned fish mate but a top result. Well happy with that from there. Would be good to go back one day. Monsters lurk, but it is a tough water. I'll bring the vodka next time

[@baldvale5418]

Look forward to it.

[@jamesfox3784]

a MacDick breakfast wrap, can't say I've seen that on their menu before 😂😂😂

[@riverpiker]

+James fox ha ha. Tasted ok for a dick to be honest. Though i'm sure I could have handled two! :)

[@jamesfox3784]

+River Piker that's how rumours start Paul!

[@riverpiker]

+James fox No such thing as bad publicity is there? lol

[@jamesfox3784]

+River Piker not in today's market I suppose
