PIKE AND PERCH FISHING ON THE THAMES

[@wangroBro4034]

Love your enthusiasm Nick . Keep up the good work . Enjoyed that ! Thanks mate 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Thank you mate. Appreciated as always 🙏

[@derycklamb9615]

The reality of piking, sometimes you just don't get much action and the one you might've caught got away . Great to see you using both deadbait and lure 👍

[@famvankesselvankessel9260]

Like the way you fish. I also like moving around like you. Searching . And many styles. Keep going

[@fidelcastro9579]

Those Thames fish were in fantastic condition. 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yes mate, absolutely. They were all in mint condition 👌

[@jasondonaldson2947]

Nice vid, love sessions like this. That was a great pike!

[@miguelsanchez8238]

Another great video with some superb tips, thanks. After watching one of your videos I'm just itching to get out fishing. (Hopefully tomorrow)

[@Lifeonthebank]

Thanks 🙏 hope you caught a monster!!!

[@gavos7401]

Another great video Nick, shame you lost that Pike on the Thames, that looked heavy!

[@dpfisherman]

Always a pleasure to watch nick great work as always 👌🏻👍🏻🎣

[@Lifeonthebank]

Thanks a lot for checking it out mate 👍👍👍

[@pmay222]

those weir pools.. i once watched 2 fellers fishing from a boat right in middle of teddington lock, they were whopping out 10lb+ pike like they were roach fishing one after the other.. the fish love the aerated water and food there i think... shame about the lost lumpy pike but... i do feel you lure anglers are VERY impatient, almost like its a race to get em in as quick as possible... slow up a bit i find the big fish need a good few seconds to realise they are hooked, then let them start the battle.. .. .. very well presented vid 20 mins perfect length wi not too much jibber jabber.. nice one

[@silocke2022]

Nice one Nick, the Thames looks an awesome river to fish, will have to glean some info from you the next time I bump into you in the Lea Valley if thats ok

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yes mate definitely. Always happy to share what I know. Hope to see you on the bank soon!!! 👍👍👍

[@delwigzieful]

Nice 1 nick enjoyed the video how soft plastics changed Lure fishing big-time,para

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah. I remember when I was young it was all about spinners and plugs and that was it! Thanks for watching 🙏👍

[@jackm632]

Love the vids keep it up 👏❤

[@Lifeonthebank]

More in the pipeline mate. Thanks for watching and for your support! 👍

[@nmcben]

Why is there so little love for pike? It seems a lot of people are disappointed when they catch them. I love pike and perch and happy to catch either 😊

Thats very kind of you mate, thank you. We'll get there!!! Thanks for your support!

[@jaspermaytum3142]

Nice Vid, i know this spot where was you after the Weir further down stream?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Ahh no, seeing that float long back must have felt awful. As always lovely video and a cracking pike to finish up with. Was it blind in the eye facing the camera?

[@conalbennett8259]

How would he know if it was blind? Do you think he asked it off camera?

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@conalbennett8259 because the eye facing the camera is not right, no need for the sarcasm

[@Lifeonthebank]

I still feel sick mate. Initially the fish didn’t hardly even move, like a dead weight. Then it started to plod before the hooks flew back it me... gutted. Yes, definitely blind in that eye. Other eye was fine. Looked like quite an old fish tbh. Thanks for checking out the video though mate. Keep your awesome vids coming. Love the takes you manage to capture on camera on those large flies - just awesome! 👍👍👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@Lifeonthebank you could tell it wasn’t moving tbf, always the sign of a better fish isn’t it. Matt caught a pike recently with a Zombie eye too didn’t he 😂. Thanks for the feedback 👍 I tried this week but blanked both days on the lures. I think the temperature drop has put them static for a bit

[@gavin7706]

Nice video mate👍 I fish the lea alot, maybe meet up one day🎣🎣🎣 Tight lines

[@Lifeonthebank]

If you see me about say hi 👋 👍👍👍

[@cheza7061]

Always a pleasure to watch but on this occasion the 1st music was drowning you out & it was a little strange. Great fish, well done!!!! 🎣😎

[@Lifeonthebank]

Thanks for the feedback. Audio can be quite tricky and sounds different depending on what you’re listen on. Can I ask what you were watching on? TV, PC, phone + headphones? Really appreciate your help to refine the content! 👍👍👍

[@cheza7061]

@@Lifeonthebank I was watching on my Samsung phone. Your videos and content are great it was just this once. Keep them coming!!🎣😎

[@checkyourself164]

You're obviously a southerner like myself, I'm in East Sussex, any tips on locations in the South East for some big River perch? I'd love to catch a few good ones this winter, current pb is 3lb 2 oz

[@Lifeonthebank]

That’s a decent PB, big perch 👌 The Ouse is down that way right? Tried that?

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Where are you ? Maidenhead -Cookham I guess

[@Lifeonthebank]

One of the only things I don’t really discuss is location, but you’re not far off mate! 👍😉

[@kennetking1]

A few miles downstream mate 👍

how far up river are you i'm east side and wondering what we have this side I now the west is fresh but do the pike perch and others come down this far

[@Darren14]

Whereabouts on the Stort do you fish mate?

[@Lifeonthebank]

All over mate. I cover most of it.

[@Darren14]

@@Lifeonthebank do you try the town stretch in Stortford?

[@raysievey147]

Another good video. Had to laugh when you started with a bugger which quickly turned to a double b****cks :-)

[@Rob-zq8sy]

Great stuff again Nick... but, like a lot of fishing videos loud music over commentary spoils it,(if I want loud music I listen to AC/DC) I want to hear what you have to say about the fishing..rant over keep em coming!

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah, mentioned by a few. Will be careful on the next edit in terms of voice over music. Thanks for the honest feedback though. Appreciated. Another online tomorrow. 👍

Hello. It Would Be Helpful If You Could Tell Others Who Watch Your Cannel Where You Fish I. Don't Fish Now I. Still Would Watch People Fish There Are A Few I. Like Watching On KZbin Your Fishing Is Great To Watch.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Sometimes, particularly with pike, that’s a bad idea because of poachers. Also, you can often upset other anglers that fish the venues when you mention them by name. Best to swerve it altogether by simply not mentioning them imo.

[@christreacy8563]

I. Can See Your Point If I. Move Down To The Coast I. Will Take Up Sea Fishing Still Have My Other Hobby I. Have KZbin Channel

[@christreacy8563]

I. Very Much Like Your Kind Of Fishing Reservoir Near Me Good Few Fish Now The Otter Killing The Fish I. Have Seen On Another KZbin Site Where A Small Electric Fence Has Been Use Good Idea When I.

[@xsasjonny4360]

Hiya mate just recently found your channle and iv subscribed i love the vids. I was wondering if you could help me i was wondering would a chub take/ go for a small spinner?

[@abdullahcorporation8801]

Yes, definitely Chub and basically any other slightly predator will gladly go for a small spinner! I actually use them on a regular basis while fishing for chub in small rivers. I have even caught roach on spinner so they are basically great for catching any kind of fish ( even though I wouldn’t recommend for roach )

[@xsasjonny4360]

@@abdullahcorporation8801 mate thats great thank you. Im completely new to lure fishing im still trying to gather the gear needed (when funds allow). They are just like a little fish with a little spoon/blade at the front that rotates on like a little bar ( if that makes any sence) so any and all info and advice is very much welcome. Im gunna try get on the river or canal within the next 2 or 3 weeks.

[@simong6049]

What part of the Thames are you fishing mate

[@Lifeonthebank]

Don’t really wanna talk location on here. Feel free to message me on Instagram if you like 👍

[@liammurphy6063]

Less reeling more action with the rodtip imo

[@Lifeonthebank]

You mean in the first part of the video? Ie, lure fishing for the perch?

[@liammurphy6063]

@@Lifeonthebank yeah I commented it then watched the rest and was like “ah okay” 🤣🤣

[@andizgarta6773]

Too bad carp fishing season is coming to an end. Pike fishing is fine i guess.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah, I’ve not fished for carp for a couple of months. You can still catch them in winter though. I have a video on the channel about that actually. 👍

[@andizgarta6773]

@@Lifeonthebank Really? I thought carp stopped eating when it got cold! I'll make sure to go watch it :)

[@marksaunders795]

Locate them with a gold ondex , and fill yer boots on trd!

[@Lifeonthebank]

Very familiar with the TRDs 👍👍 Don’t use spinners so much but I do know how effective they can be! Love the concept though. Spinner = find them, then Finesse TRD = Slow everything down and hammer them!!! 👍👍👍

[@davidmemory7570]

Great video, one small critaziam maybe lose the back ground music,to me it doesn't fit in as I would rather listen to you !

[@Lifeonthebank]

Thanks so much. Don't mind criticism at all, I see it as feedback. In the main I think people think the music is OK (I hope), however it has come up a few times but not that many considering how many view we're starting to get. I do like my music :) Maybe I'll try to be more selective and tweak the volume in places! Thanks again for checking out the channel and giving me your feedback.

[@davidmemory7570]

It would be great if I could spell !!!! Looking forward to your next video 😊

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Agree content great music completely spoils it

[@Lifeonthebank]

Can I ask if you like the music on other major channels? Nash, Fox etc. Out of interest. Thanks.

[@ronniebiggs4026]

@@Lifeonthebank TBH dude I haven’t watched any of those but enjoy others and I have other interest like brickwork and trucking so it not a criticism of yourself just a dislike to naff music drowning out either commentary or say engine noise ... ps I am a massive music fan especially rock so it’s not that .good luck with your channel dude and I might troll through some of your other stuff if it’s not interrupted .✅

[@Sonikks]

Love your content mate. I recently asked a question on one of your older videos and you gave me some tips. My first deadbaited pike; i.imgur.com/VCZA0KH.jpg My heart was in my mouth, what an experience. She weighed just 10lb 2oz spot on! I was sat on roach all day, switched to mackerel with the head cut off and boom, line went. Thanks for the help, love the channel!

[@Lifeonthebank]

That’s wicked mate. Love it when people share their captures. Hope you catch a few more of those through this winter!!! 👍👍👍

[@Sonikks]

@@Lifeonthebank Cheers bud! This water is extremely deep. Up to 25foot in places, it's an old quarry. Do you think it's worth throwing a bait in there at all? I blanked yesterday in the margins. I find it intimidating to fish deeper water for some reason. I just imagine there is nothing there. Any advice? Cheers!

[@Lifeonthebank]

I would move from swim to swim in your first session. 45mins or so in each. Get to know the venue and maybe locate the pike at the same time! 👍

[@planschei]

oo..has the music tape a salad?

[@Lifeonthebank]

🤔😂😂😂

[@johncoombs3128]

I like all your content,it's one of my go to vlogs,but that music is a bit annoying

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah, sorry mate. Feels like some of the music choices and edit wasn’t up to standard going by general feedback. Check out my latest video. I tried hard to improve this and all comments suggest I’ve put this right. Thanks for the feedback and for watching the videos👍👍👍

[@drewking157]

I lost a pike couple weeks back wich was at least double my pb worst thing is it was my own bloody fault lol
