Pike fishing the Lake of Menteith Scotland

Welcome back to a very special episode.
Every year, the PAC hosts a pike fishing event at The Lake of Menteith.
Usually Menteith is fly only but at this event, lures and deadbaits are allowed.
Grab yourself a cuppa and settle down to watch Sean's day out on Menteith and if you're not already subscribed, please do so!

[@IGThomas46]

@@luredbyesox I will do Sean , my mums Scottish from she grew up in Shetland .. but maybe that’s more Viking 🤷‍♂️😂 I usually fish for trout and sea trout in the summer Sean but when it cools down I’d like to go for the pike on the Dee or maybe the Canals .. If you were starting out again would you start with lures or baits? Just interested to hear what you and Katherine think. Thanks you both

[@luredbyesox]

We,ve a few trout video,s on our channel now trying to put a little on for everyone to enjoy 👍😊 my advice on the pike would be fish your canal in autumn with lures that way you cover a lot more water and find the pike quicker go light and be prepared to cover some ground you should bump into a few that way 👍🙂

[@IGThomas46]

@@luredbyesox yes I’m enjoying the trout videos aswell as the esox hunting but they keep following you around 🤣 Thanks mate I’ll have a look round for a decent lure set up for autumn time

[@luredbyesox]

@@IGThomas46 i know mate 😆 fishing for brownies end up with pike 🐊 dont mind though i love em 🫶😊 what type of lure setup are you thinking of? Light lures or medium jerkbaits? Im thinking of doing a how to lure setup and what to buy video hopefully before the rivers open maybe it will help 👍🙂

[@Boxersboy-um1fd]

Cracking fish! - like some here, I looked at her and thought she was over 20lb - in my opinion, at least 22lb! Great stuff!

Thanks mate 👍 she was short but very stocky solid fish i was miles out with my guesstimate 😄 normally im pretty close but she was so big in the body i thought its got to be a twenty 🤔 im not complaining though she was a stunner 👍🙂

Id say that sean..that trip is as close to heaven as i can think of.. its unreal up there. Id love to do it.. well worth the 500 miles💯👌 there was a 32lb caught on a local river about a mile from my house on saturday..some really good fish coming out the last few weeks here👌

Yea exactly the scenery alone is worth it. That fish was just a bonus 😅 i have a picture of the fish in the club chat send me your email i'll foward it on 👌 he was delighted fish of a lifetime. It took a deadbait. I must have fished the same stretch a hundred times never came near 32lb though🙈😅

[@luredbyesox]

Thanks pal she went back strong good stocky female 👍🙂

[@paulstares48]

Another great video mate, that place is only a hour down the road from me. What a fantastic day you must've had there. That would be fish of a lifetime for a lot of people. She was fin perfect. And the scenery isn't too shabby either eh? Pike fishing in Scotland is really tough on the big lochs especially from the bank. They hold some huge fish but they are notoriously hard to catch. Chuffed for you that you had some good weather and a stunning fish in the net.

[@luredbyesox]

Thankyou paul 🤝🙂 your so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌 the weather was kind to us that day 👍 the pike in there are stunning maybe next time i come to scotland i might have to fish lomond too 🙂👍 thanks for watching pal 🤝😊

[@paulstares48]

@lured by esox loch lomond is beautiful as well, it's a massive body of water with some proper monsters!! I would definitely advise going out on a boat, and get some local knowledge or a fishing guide that knows the loch would be even better. There's some big 30's in there and maybe still 40's. Pretty much everything in there grows big. 30lb salmon, 4lb plus perch 20lb plus trout, not sure but I think there's big Roach and bream in there as well. But it's tough fishing

[@luredbyesox]

@@paulstares48 ive fished it before many years ago awesome place to fish its got its own atmosphere i would probably seek some advice before going back if i could get out on a boat it would be even better but just being is more than enough for me the fish would be a huge bonus of any size 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🙂

[@paulstares48]

@lured by esox it's an amazing place. There's a huge pikes head in the museum in Glasgow called the Endrick pike. It was discovered in the in a Marsh near the mouth of the river Endrick which flows into loch Lomond in the 1920's or 30's. It was HUGE. Goggle Endrick pike if you want more info on it🐊

[@luredbyesox]

@@paulstares48 think i read about it a few years back if im right it was hooked n lost then found dead days later in and around the 50lb bracket huge fish back in them days the tackle was,nt as good as it is now so feel for the guy that it happened too shame but im sure they,ll be a big un or two lurking in the depths of lomond somewhere 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@luredbyesox canals mainly marinas

[@luredbyesox]

Have you tried the bobber rig with sprats that can be a deadly method especially in marinas set the depth so its about 6 to 8inches off bottom cast towards the boats and let it trot down with the flow or wind 👍 you could try injecting a little bit of oil into the bait too that helps draw the pike to the bait we did a video on the bobber rig 👌🙂
