Pre-Spawn Pike Fishing Ireland. Tips, Lures, Methods & Where to Find Them.

[@triggsyfishing3756]

Ah Marcin, I was doing so well with my studies but how can I not watch this immediately! 😂

[@MarcinKantor]

I'm so very sorry 😊😊 I guess as long as you go back to studying and won't go fishing that should be OK...

[@properpiker3219]

Great video buddy was out today on a small lake using the same lures in your video and caught 6 small to medium jacks but I didn’t know that small paddle tails and jerk baits were best for this time of year thanks for the tips 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks Darren. Good fishing, they're active just before the spawning. Yes, late summer to winter it's all about the large lures, but smaller will often outfish them early spring... Had days when nothing on the large lures and 20s to small jerks!

[@JP-ic2ze]

Very informative and a pleasure watching you enjoy so much your chosen sport. Great to see how much your fly fishing skills have been increasing in leaps and bounds.

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks for watching JP! The ratio of good to bad ones is staring to shift ;) very satisfying when one comes out really well...

[@damonmcmahon8581]

Awesome video man!Do you know any spots for the beginner bass angler in Wexford I am not looking for specimen fish just looking for a few bites🎣☘️

[@MarcinKantor]

Cheers Damon, it's not quite like that with Bass. They don't hold in one location but move all the time. What you want is ideally shallow ground, 2-3m is what I'd opt for. Over shallow reefs, not far from beaches. You'll see abundance of good spots on Google maps, using the satelite view. The problem is not the location but putting the time in to find them when the conditions are good and at the right state of the tide. The experience is fun tho, enjoy it 👍

[@damonmcmahon8581]

@@MarcinKantor Ok that’s great info thanks very much, tight lines!👍

[@Fisher7788]

Great video, I love this style of fishing on a tube. How do you find places that allow all methods and also allow tubing? I live near to so many trout fisheries but they only allow fly fishing and it costs a small fortune.

[@MarcinKantor]

Well, I'm fishing wild places so don't really have these limitations. It's great to be able to switch methods at will and see what works best

[@loodytheleprican3079]

Where is this if you can say? Also I'm looking to start pike and salmon fishing and I was wondering if you knew anywhere in Waterford? Also what is a good fly combo to start with for pike/salmon?

[@MarcinKantor]

They're two completely different species and very different gear is needed. You'll find tackle info in the descriptions of my vids. Blackwater, Bandon are two salmon rivers not far from you

[@patrickamorosini2010]

hi Marcin, tell me I will fish in Ireland at the end of April, can you advise me the most interesting color to buy a miuras mouse. thank you !

[@MarcinKantor]

I think most will work, but the one I like personally is Spotted Bullhead

[@pipera1982]

Very useful video. What's the model of Costas? Which is your favorite lure, colour? Thanks and good luck!

[@MarcinKantor]

thank you very much Stefan, the costas are Tuna Alley, also use Fantail. depends on the conditions and time of the year but hammer pro from dragon, miuras mouse, salmo slider all great lures. I do like browny / gold colour but I don't think the colour matters that much

Thanks Marcin. Heading out for a pike session on Saturday. I will keep your tips in mind and give the jerkbaits and paddletails a good bash. Thanks again. Tight lines!

[@magicmemes]

Just lost a 30 pound pike on Lough Erne 😫

[@MarcinKantor]

oh no!!! disaster. did you get it close in?

[@johnratcliffe6438]

Marcin, I am curious to understand why you are using a fly rod and reel to catch the Pike, rather than the usual fixed spool and lure rod? What benefits are there? I am guessing you are using some sorted weighted fly lure at the start?

[@MarcinKantor]

Using all sort of methods John, in this video I'm on fly but also small and large lures. It's for fun, that's all. Each pike feels twice as large on the fly rod and the take and the fight are awesome 😊 it's all getting more personal lol and a 20lb pike on the fly is a nice target.

[@MarcinKantor]

BTW, you know what species comes next on the fly rod... 😉

[@johnratcliffe6438]

@@MarcinKantor Hmm...I think either Salmon, Sea Trout or Bass 😊🤘🐟
