Quick sesh pike fishing - savage gear eel gets NAILED!

First of many more pike videos coming in 2024. As many of you know I’m trying to raise some money for Muscular Dystrophy in memory of a friend Simon Mirfin. If you have a few quid spare please donate via the justgiving link below and I’ll keep the videos coming.

In this video I basically get out for an hour after work to try and get myself back in to the swing of filming and making videos. I’ve forgotten much of it, i forgot how much there is to do. The fishing part comes easy though, im the riverpiker. 😘🤘

So pleased that you have started posting fresh content. I followed lots of your videos four or five years ago at the start of my pike fishing journey and they were always full of useful advice. The most important being to make sure that your knots clips, swivels and line are all secure and strong enough to be able to land the fish and unhook it safely. I recently snagged something on the bottom of the river and having 60lb braid was able to pull it free. Only to find that it was a huge crankbait with barbed hooks the size of anchors and attached to 10 or 12 lb line with no wire trace. If a pike of reasonable size was to have taken that lure and snapped or bit through the line then that fish would almost certainly die with a lure of that size stuck in it's mouth. So glad that lure ended up in my tackle box and not in a pike. Thanks to you I soon learned that when pike, perch and occasionally chub are chasing a lure they are not put off by a wire trace.

Cheers for the kind words mate and tbh it is a bit nice to be back. Hopefully I can keep it up. Glad the videos have helped and inspired over the years mate. Yes definitely no excuse these days for having the wrong gear as there’s loads of info out there.

Glad to see you back mate,good to see someone say they're using shit hooks in case they get snagged so that they dont lose the lures 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 😂😂😂

[@riverpiker]

Cheers bud. Ha ha I’m a tight arse. I’ve had some of these lures donkeys years! 🤣

[@highlandfishingdiary8818]

Nicely done, good to see a video but other things in life come first and not always easy to have the time to do them. So that’s understandable, all the best for Christmas and the three peaks challenge. P.s i only really tune in to hear the Yorkshire accent 😂 👍

[@themib6747]

I dug out my SG eel and went for 3 short sessions and had a pike each time! Think mine is the middle size. Thanks!

[@riverpiker]

Great to hear! Nice one matey. Little and often if you can is best. Sometimes we plan a day and then grind it out for little reward. Might be better sometimes to stick to a few short sessions.

[@h-dubandy3900]

Brilliant little session. Working the water like a pro

[@riverpiker]

Yeah enjoyed that mate. Got a couple more videos coming from that spot over next few weeks and fishing gets even better. Will try and get something done somewhere else next 👍

Paul you inspired me to take up lure fishing for pike and I religiously copied everything you did. Without you I would not have been able to catch the pike that I did 👍. I can’t see the just giving link so can you paste here please

[@riverpiker]

Matey that’s awesome. I forget sometimes that all my messing about actually does help and inspire in the real world. cheers buddy. Hopefully link works here.. shorturl.at/iSWZ8
