BIG PIKE FLY FISHING with Savage Gear High Rider 170 Float Tube

[@DawidECF]

I felt cold just by looking at that video :) Tough conditions , but you've never give up. And what a results. Keep those videos coming mate, you are the best irish fishing video channel on yt.

[@MarcinKantor]

And that wasn't even the cold one. A few more sessions after that one, they were cold ❄️❄️ Thanks bud, it means a lot. ❤️❤️

[@MarcinKantor]

That's a great days fishing by anyone's standard. You are becoming a dab hand with the fly. Love your entousiam, you are one of my favourites on u tube. Keep them coming. Tight lines

[@bencarvosso3691]

Enjoyed that buddy. Super days fishing by any standards. Gonna have to give the fly piking a go. Only did it once in carton house 15 years ago. A pal is always fishing the fly and had some great fish on it. Will have to pick his brains.

[@MarcinKantor]

Thank you my friend. Only a few sessions in and I feel comfortable enough with it. And there's no comparison in how it feels, the take and the fight against deadbaiting bud, it's like re-discovering piking all over again. Now, need a 20 on it 🤓🤓

Some going Marcin

[@MarcinKantor]

A very enjoyable fishing, I'd recommend it

[@bosco292]

Excellent video Marcin it's not easy to handle and unhook the pike in the high rider, the calmer the lake the better, there is a company in the UK Railblaza online sales they are from New Zealand, they sell plastic specialist attachments for the high rider to attach your fishfinder, and for a rod holder etc you can glue them on with the inflatable marine glue and they also come with a specialist bonding material underneath!

[@MarcinKantor]

Certainly a bit tricky, and controlling the boat while doing everything else 😅 I've actually ordered their accessories after that trip. Got an external gopro holder, next vids from the tube will be a bit better angle

[@bosco292]

@@MarcinKantor l saw a Dutch guy on KZbin he glued a specialist propellor onto his high rider belly boat underneath and a battery goes in the back and he has a controller to hand its sensational but a bit expensive for the propellor €1200, the flippers and oars do the trick but if the lake is windy with waves you will get pushed back into the reeds! Hard arm work to get back out!

[@MarcinKantor]

@@bosco292 yes, seen them. Expensive enough. Was thinking would it not make more sense to get a kayak instead of a tube with that thing. You're right, with a bit of wind tho, the flippers are next to useless, oars just slightly better

[@bosco292]

@@MarcinKantor The propellor would be worth more than the float tube, thus l think the oars and flippers will suffice, the high rider will put you right on the feeding pike tough, the lake has to be calm no wind no waves to properly enjoy the belly boat. Smaller lakes are better, l use the savage gear life jacket too!

[@johnny_jgs2435]

your feet must be freezing 😀 anyway float tube fishing it's always good fun, it will be nice to have camera on the side off float tube, better view.How deep your fly was going?

[@MarcinKantor]

They actually weren't bad with all the socks on :) it got bad a couple of weeks later when water was 3 degrees... Up to about 3.5m on a slow retrieve, int line

[@williamdaly7662]

Brilliant video Marcin keep them coming! What depth finder were you using? How does that fit?

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks William. it's an older Garmin 75SV series (I think). 7in, side scan, down scan, maps and contouring. I just have it on the self-made battery dry box (check latest video for a better look at it), I put it all into one of belly boat bags and secure with bungi cords. It was meant to be a temporary solution for this first trip but works very well and I've no reason to change it. If you want it done properly you would have railblaza attachments to secure it with the battery kept behind the seat

[@davidhunt6322]

Nice channel Marcin! I bought a pair of waders from you last year, glad to see you went ahead and bought a float tube👍 try some popper fishing in the spring time it's great craic, they'll attack the popper a few feet away from you so be prepared for heart stopping frights 😂😂

[@MarcinKantor]

Hi David, hope the waders are going strong 🤓 loving the tube mate, great fun.. And I love surface fishing, but my heart may not take it. Currently I'm getting scared of the whirls I'm making with my own fins 🤣🤣🤣 any particular poppers you'd recommend?

[@grahamgerman3125]

Hi Marcin, great vid, do think the belly float could be used in inshore open water for bass fishing? also looked at the Savage grear 330 kayak but not sure about the drift problem on open water! Thought that the fins with the belly float would help hold position on the open water. Cheers.

[@MarcinKantor]

Yes Graham, the fins would definitely help. You will drift much faster in the kayak than a tube. Now, if there's a tide running tho, I wouldn't use the tube, it would be hopeless. With a moderate wind you can just about managed to keep your position in it. Add the current and that's it.

[@grahamgerman3125]

@@MarcinKantor Thanks Marcin, sounds like a no. I do have a kayak, I will stick with that. From my last Email I mentioned teaser fly's, I have got "surf candy" fly's for the teasers, may be see that video soon about the rigging of a teaser. All the best Graham.

Do you have a life jacket on? Id love to get a float tube but i can't swim, i would be worried if i fell in.

[@MarcinKantor]

Yes, indeed Paul. It's a must. This tube I have is fairly large and stable but I wouldn't get on it without a life jacket

[@darkiee69]

A mouth/jaw spreader might help when getting the fly out.

[@MarcinKantor]

normally I put them on their back and pull the jaw to open it, always works. Just got caught there by surprise with the fly getting tangled in the teeth lol that was funny, never had that problem when lure fishing ;)

[@danieljack1]

What kind of depth are you letting your lures get to?

[@MarcinKantor]

there's no a simple answer to that question. The mantra of large lures fishing is to work them in the top layers of the water, say the top few feet. When pike are feeding they will raise a lot to a lure worked that way, and that method works well in depth of 1-8m, so where you'd usually fish for them. This, however, is the go to method when the water is warmer and pike feed well. In the cold water (this time of the year) pike will move in deeper and won't chase lures as aggresively. If I know they feed on the top of the shelf I fish mid water in relatively shallow water. Otherwise I fish deep and slow, to reach the pike that's sitting on the bottom and is not keen to chase lure...
