Pike Fishing with TUNA POPPERS - (And Snakes!?) ⛰

[@AMG63]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm so pleased I found this channel, the first video I watched was about all the dead fish 😔 but since then I've subbed and slowly but surely watching everything, well done and tight lines mate.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Sorry you joined us on that one mate, not an ideal way to find the channel! I really appreciate you catching up though and sticking around. I hope you enjoy the videos!

[@Sh0g]

Even when you catch nothing, your honesty about the struggles and showing your perseverance is inspirational and motivational. Fishing is also about enjoying nature and emptying your head and this is something you cannot "blank" in if you know what I mean. Also love the catch with the snake lure, brilliant!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks a lot Robin! Couldn't agree more. Glad you liked the video and I appreciate the comment, i've got another snake video out tomorrow!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Catching is a bonus. Being out is what it's all about.

[@adventurefishinguk]

You're not wrong there mate!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

@@adventurefishinguk keep up the great work. Love how you try out different lures in every video. You're costing me a fortune lol

That's cool..... Out interest what 60lb braid do you use?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Can’t remember mate, was just a cheap one from the shop. Lasted well though!

[@michaelburdock6826]

I was in the lakes myself at the time of your video. I was fly fishing WADAA waters which I know you are familiar with. Some great fishing up there and I plan to do some Pike fishing... Loving your channel. Keep em coming.

[@adventurefishinguk]

WADAA have some great waters don't they. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos mate and I appreciate the comment!

[@alanarmer8069]

Wow George what a cracking pike 🦈🦈

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Alan, probably my favourite out of any pike I’ve caught 👍

[@nicholasmoore6716]

Lovely setting George, but twitch that top water bait, that makes it pop. Good vid. Best wishes .Nick

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! I was popping it a bit, just tried to really vary it!

[@wildlifeatheart993]

That pike was huge! Well done!!!!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate!

@@adventurefishinguk My pleasure!

[@jambobee]

Nice one George,that tuna popper is a beast 👍🏻

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! Cracking looking lure isn’t it, I’m sure I’ll have one on it next time I’m out

[@Hardlinesangling]

Loving the video. Wonder if thinner gauge hooks would help with the hook up ratio or an extra split ring/clip to have the hook slightly further away from the bait. I'm going to give topwater a go this year and see if I can get anything.

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think both of those things that you suggested would help mate! Next time i'll have to get it rigged up properly. You definitely should give it a go, it's great fun 👍

[@TheEssexAnglerYT]

Nice Video mate! Interesting challenge, hopefully you will nail one next time!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, fingers crossed!

[@QU1KS1LVAR]

Another cracking video. I'm a recent subscriber and must say I aready binged watch half of your library! Keep it up and the subscribers will come, I'm sure!!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Marcus really appreciate that! Hope you're enjoying the videos 🎣

[@tonnyberben1770]

Where i fish theres a lot off fishing pressure I am thinking buying one pff those literally nobody fishes those 😀 did you fish it over shallow water or also pretty deep water like 5 meter or more

[@adventurefishinguk]

Haha yeah good point! It needs to be prety shallow for topwater yes 👍

[@NetfishnChill]

Well done on the channel growth buddy . Love the content. You'll get one next time on that big plopper 😆👊 tight lines

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate I appreciate that! Hope you're well 👍🎣

@@adventurefishinguk yeh all good here buddy thanks man 🤙🎣

[@foylad4862]

Cool vid mate, we don't always have an easy days fishing. I think it's the tough days that make us appreciate the lucky ones, main thing is your enjoying it regardless. I spotted a monster pike on the canal near me, Leeds/Liverpool, id say 25-30lbs, i would'nt fish for that if you paid me 😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! Sometimes it can be a really tough sport 👍 and yeah it definitely makes the fish worthwhile when they finally come and say hello. That sounds like a massive pike I’d love to catch a fish like that. Maybe one day!

[@user-jk2lu1ib1q]

I'm still waiting for a good day's fishing I only started last year fishing for predators with a baitcaster and lures really love it wish you all the happiness and success with your young family and your fishing Adventures take care and God bless go and smash that 30 Pounder you can do it

[@adventurefishinguk]

@@user-jk2lu1ib1q thanks mate! Still after that 20 pounder though, hopefully it isn’t too far away!

Thank you for doin the vids i've been down our local canal with my son thanks to you :)

That’s really made me smile thanks mate! Lovely comment to read, hope you caught a few!

[@mariuszel759]

Hi, loving your content. Would you do a beginners guide when it comes to gear? Thinking of going to try spinning/lure on Lancaster Canal and maybe Lake District - ( I'm based in Blackpool).

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, much appreciated! Thought about doing something like that but gear guides etc would vary so much based on how many different types of fishing there is. What were you thinking?

[@mariuszel759]

@@adventurefishinguk Thanks for the reply mate. I was thinking pike/perch fishing. I used to do spinning back in Poland years ago and absolutely loved it.

[@jambobee]

check this guy out Mariusz.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJa6opWtpJWAhbs he also fishes on the Lancaster canal

[@dannykennedy6667]

I agree with Mariusz matey, i live in Morecambe and have just taken up fishing to have a hobby and some time for myself. I tried the Canal but i dont know where is best to go and also i cant get my head round the jargon and kit and equipment. I wanted to just fish off the float for pleasure although a mate of mine fishes for pike and loves it so i will be giving that a go but dont want to spend a fortune on stuff i dont need.

[@peterblair8201]

If you go to the other side and fish between the island and where the wall meets the water in South basin. It's over a massive weed bed where the pike lay. Go in the evening.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for the tip mate I’ll have to give it a go next time I’m there 👍

[@tutupez]

Amazing pike dude! I love your content and you deserve a suscribe, keep Up the good work man 😃

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for subscribing mate, really appreciate that!

[@ianharris9612]

The lure was a popper so may have been better working it with the rod more to give it that popping affect. Just a thought but a good watch nevertheless 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Ian glad you enjoyed the video! I gave it it’s fair go popping, just tried to keep mixing it up! Just one of those trips where nothing seemed to really work unfortunately

LOVING THE HAT! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@adventurefishinguk]

Lovely bit of kit isn’t it, kept my head bone dry in all that rain 👍

[@richardjones2811]

I know this comment is a little late but it's in regards to using that lure. A popper is designed to cause a big disturbance in the water. When reeling in the popper it's best to use quick movements of the rod to twitch it in and cause it to make a splash on the surface. Rich

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Rich, I tried to vary my retrieve quite a bit when I was there but I'll work on that more next time!

[@taweraparata3953]

What exactly is that set up I’m currently in the market for heavy set up for pike. Cheers mate

[@adventurefishinguk]

I talk through the set up in my video mate!

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Love my boonie hat, glad it's not just me....

[@adventurefishinguk]

Haha definitely not just you mate I love mine

[@Pikeandslippers]

Just echoing what other guys saying about the popper. I've worked these all day from a kayak in Panama and I can tell you it hurts by the end of it. Not sure swapping out the trebles will do anything for the lure action as these look like BIG owner ST66 hooks made to measure and ultra sharp. Must have been demanding working a popper this big with a light rod too. My guide instructed to make fast sweeps with the rod, reel in the slack line and repeat, causing a continuous wake of bubbles. Could always try a smaller popper like the Savage Gear Panick Popper, I've caught Tuna on these but odly, never a pike?! Tight lines and good to see videos showing frustrating sessions.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Hard work isn't it! That sounds like you were on a great trip. I'd definitely have had more luck using a smaller lure, in hindsight i probably should have. It's hard for me to get an idea out of my head though when i've had one 😂

[@carlosthejackel7581]

Great vid pal. Do you do beach fishing?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, not too often but sometimes. I had a nice ray a while ago at a place called perch rock when i was filming

[@carlosthejackel7581]

@@adventurefishinguk it would be great to see some sea fishing vids

[@gnfishingbfs]

I don't want to be a big headed, but you could catch much more, giving this lure a proper action, instead of retrieving it like a crankbait. You need to use your rod next time. Great video anyway, and lovely scenery.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for the advice mate! Most of the time when I’m talking to camera I’m focusing on that rather than properly fishing for that 30 seconds of time. I tried all sorts with the action and found no way of retrieving to really be much better. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked the video!

[@alison8526]

"The irony" 😂😂😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

😂

[@TheZamboon]

Dude I've got some Hart pencil baits that were made for tuna as well as some x-rap Xplode poppers. I never use them, give us a shout if you want them.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Really kind of you to offer mate but I’ve already got more than my fair share of lures to be getting through. Hope you liked the video and thanks for the comment 👍

[@the_armchair_fisherman]

quality vid there im sure you hook up with it

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate, I reckon i'll get one next time on that. Especially if i switch those hooks out

Will be coming in Early october hopefully mate! Not quite where i want to be with its planning yet, the 10k came round much sooner than expected!

I’ve caught hundreds of pike. Never top water I’ve been living in Siberia Russia for almost a year and they never bite top water here for some reason 😂

[@adventurefishinguk]

Maybe water temperatures are too low for them to be feeding near the surface. Deep water never helps too!

[@ianbowes-taylor3217]

you are not using it correctly , you need to wind it quicker and make it splash more.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks for the advice mate i'll work on it next time
