Pike Fishing with Lures- Series 1 - Episode 15 - Totally Awesome Fishing

[@77jhunt77]

Awesome video. So much better than any pike fishing I've ever seen on youtube or even television. They should give this guy a TV show of his own!

[@christianhakansson5698]

Somebody please give this man a talkshow.

[@craigannis5060]

I've just got into lure fishing, I didn't really have much of a clue about lure types but this has helped a lot. I would recommend this to any angler interested in lures experienced or not, I'm going fishing for pike this weekend and I am confident that I will catch (especially after this). Thanks guys, great videos, keep'em coming.

[@TAFishing]

Awesome! Good luck!!

[@TAFishing]

Both good on their day. Deadbaits for bigger fish I feel. Small to medium pike on lures. But that is a generalisation.

[@TAFishing]

Dawn and dusk,dusk being better as the pike will be more active as other anglers will have been throwing bait in and the smaller dace/roach etc will not be so wary.Many clubs don't start pike fishing until October,so you would need to check the water you intend fishing. Good fishing.The T/A crew.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

That was testament to an excellent fisherman,it was hooked by the barest margin and due to your drag set up you managed to land it...

[@zoffinger]

Hahaha! Your fight with that 19 pounder had me clapping and laughing! I'm so glad I found your channel here. Totally awesome indeed!

[@garyshears1947]

Great stuff Graeme! Totally Awesome as usual!!!

[@TAFishing]

I bought the lures at a tackle shop in Cairns,Queensland,Australia,where I was marlin fishing. Can't remember the name of the shop,but they were lures for a species of fish called Barramundi . Somebody told me this type of lure is now a collector's item,but maybe if you Google any tackle shop in Cairns,Australia you might have a base to start from.That hot fluoro green is certainly loved by the pike.I don't cast it close to any snags !! Good luck finding some.

[@shawty867]

That's a really good and cool plug!!!!The plug with that adjustable lip...Really handy to fish ALL waters

[@TAFishing]

Minimum temperature is when they start to bounce off the ice !!! As a general rule though,the pike are more likely to pick up a deadbait in really cold weather than chase a lure. I don't think it makes any difference what lure.But I would suggest a lure action that works well with a slow retrieve might be better in cold temps.

[@chadroemer2116]

Thanks for all your postings! I never bring a net with me shore fishing...just run back and pull it up to shore! That is what I thought you were finally doing on the 19 pounder but then you come running back with a net! Thanks again love your vids.

[@TeamBosFishing]

The best fishing for pike with lures is when the temprature is around 9-13 degrees. If it´s warmer, they´ll sink to the bottom and become lazy. If it´s too cold, they´ll not hunt lures if they go too fast, so retrieve the lure slowly and they usually take the lure :)

[@Relixa]

Excellent video Graeme, you are an absolute legend.

[@peclaus]

Fantastic fun, brought back heaps of memories of my lure fishing for pike before I emigrated. Had a good laugh at the landing net incident, the comment was classic.

[@TAFishing]

Start at dawn, finish at dusk....its the only way in the winter as there are not many daylight hours. Good luck.

[@rchippex]

Love the enthusiasm. Nice to see a decent pike vid.

[@PaulRadwell]

Totally awesome video! Very funny! Its great to see some "real" fishing. Its great to see those glorious moments like getting stuck in the mud and catching a monster with no landing net! Ive had countless mishaps over the years and im glad you don't edit them out! Keep up the good work guys :)

[@TAFishing]

The best connection is with something called a Crosslock swivel as they don't open out. Otherwise use a link swivel to join the lure to the leader. I have no idea where to get Crosslocks from.I used to get mine from America.Try Bass Pro shops in USA on your search engine.As for lures in Ireland.The copper spoon is an old favourite,or any plug with bright colours as the waters are generally peat based and therefore slightly coloured

[@chrisclarke4644]

As soon as the Romainian bunch turn up next month the pike will be battered with chips and curry sauce......

[@vladburca1297]

Pike that big is not actually good eating FYI

[@TAFishing]

You need to check the fishing regulations for that particular lake. Day ticket might state whether you can/cannot, or ask at the local tackle shop. I think lures are usually OK at most places, some say no bait fishing until 1st October. Worth checking.

[@TAFishing]

Great to see yet another great fish on our twitching sprat method! It can really do the business, we can't wait for the rivers to clear a bit we will be out there doing more vids!! Watch this space..

[@TAFishing]

Someone told me the ones I use are wood,and now collectors pieces,but I still use them.Barramundi lures come from Australia,I bought mine over there.Suggest you put Cairns Tackle shop in your search engine and see what comes up with lures.There are bound to be lots of shops selling them. Or find an Australian fishing forum and ask someone on there.

[@TAFishing]

They were BARRAMUNDI lures.This is a predator fish like a Nile Perch that they catch in Australia .Check out other comments on that page with the film,I think anorther guy gave a suggestion for similar lures.Good Luck,and spread the TOTALLY AWESOME word .

[@TAFishing]

Can be if it goes clear.Thames weirpools can be really good for pike on spinners or lures.I prefer small deadbaits. Not sure about slower stretches,though many twenties come out each season. Probably stick to the areas that have lots of matches as this means plenty of smaller fish attracted for the pike. Good luck.

[@hibs02]

A good tip about the latex lures, when they get ripped up torn to bieces etc you can melt them back together with a hot knife or soldering iron

[@TAFishing]

Hi,Glad you like the films.The rod is a Ryobi Masterpike (2,I think) reel just a cheaper ,old Shimano baitrunner,but small, not those huge carp models.The plugs came from Australia. Called a Barramundi plug. Good luck with the fishing.The T/A crew.

[@comfortablynumb183]

Nice one Graeme - made me feel very homesick! This is the sort of fishing i fondly remember. I used to fish the Hampshire Avon and Dorset Stour for pike by wobbling deadbaits and caught lots of pike to over 20lbs and often had the place to myself. Really miss it all as I now live in New Zealand where there a no pike at all - Bugger !

[@TAFishing]

The good ones are the patterns that catch you the fish.My best is a Barramundi lure,but no model number.You might try the Abu Hi-Lo jointed lures,there might be a tackle shop somewhere stocking them.Or Shakespeare used to make a single bodied lure called the "BIG S" .Rusty brown or straight silver were my best two colours on those patterns. Probably nobody in the UK selling Barramundi lures,but after the publicity we've given it,you can bet your last swivel someone is going to try and copy it.

[@steveg8322]

Great blast from the past episode

[@TAFishing]

Rod is Ryobi Masterpike.Line,usually Ande Premium 12 or 15lb test in clear.

[@shawty867]

That's a REALLY GOOD BEAUTIFULL FISH... I was happy for you too that you didn't lost him after leaving your rod alone to get your net.. It was a good thing that you didn't needed to pick it up at home ;)

[@TAFishing]

Thanks!! unfortunately don't know anywhere up your way.Check out tree overhangs,bends,bushes and deeper pools,but I would stay away from spinners and use sprats as deadbait which are fairly cheap .At least until you get to know a river. Goods Luck.The T/A Crew

[@TAFishing]

Plenty of fish in the supermarket to eat.No need to kill pike,they are under enough pressure from other factors .A general rule in Britain is to put all pike back alive.

[@TAFishing]

Always use cabled wire,30/40lb breaking strain.Never put a lure on straight mono,its going to get bitten off .Your local tackle shop should sell some,but don't use single strand.It kinks and breaks.Good luck.

[@GameSourceTV]

His voice makes me want to rethink my whole life

[@TAFishing]

I have used 50lb Ande premium for trial mono leaders as its abrasion resistant, but always use a wire leader for safety. About 30lb test is right.But cabled, not single strand.

[@gee3883]

Ha ha one of the best TA vids I've seen, brilliant Graeme

[@TAFishing]

Yes,I made sure that pike went back OK.No problems there.

[@TAFishing]

I never use a glove,but have to say I am more nervous of the treble hooks than the pike's teeth.I find gloves difficult to use,but that just personal,some guys like those mesh gloves that fish filleters use.They are more supple.Its up to you.But watch the loose hooks.

[@Noraa666]

Never seen so many thumbs up without one down lol. Kudos to you old chap and great breakdown of the lures. A big pike is the only thing I'm missing this year. That and a good walleye

[@ddaniellss]

best part 20:00 - 21:00 LOOL hilarious

[@TAFishing]

@hibs02 @hibs02 i, The rod is an old Ryobi Masterpike.So old the casting weight sticker is rubbed off.But I broke it on a "River Stour pike" film (on our channel),but cut back the broken section,re-glued the spigot,and just caught 9 pike to 19lbs on the "Pike on lures" film you watched.So its still going. The biggest fish I have caught on it was a Nile Perch over 50lbs on a lure from Lake Victoria. .They were durable rods,pretty well priced.I like them-Graeme

[@davidharvey5672]

has to be a go-to lure and pike video for anyone. thanks

[@EMTVReviews]

Nice series. I recently came across this Pike fishing playlist and it got me interested. So after watching this entire playlist, I decided to go Pike fishing in a local lake. Live in Denmark, we have plenty of lakes over here. Anyhow, I went out 3 days, and on the third I finally hooked a Pike, on the spinner. It was a small one none the less, nothing more than I'd guess 2-3 pounds, but it was still a rush pulling it ashore. Thanks for all the tips, and hopefully we'll get a new Pike video soon?

[@icy269]

great video!! thank you for your time and effort! Simple and effective explanation.

[@BlazebeatRacing]

Now THAT is fun fishing!!! Gotta love those big nasty predators. I love using the big husky jerks and plugs. Perch pattern and Red/White are great. 20 pounds isn't that big for Pike and Musky actually. 100 years ago they grew to 100 pounds, no joke. The Natives caught them in huge nets. We even have a nice 32 lb. Pike mounted on the wall. Smart fish!

[@TAFishing]

@101hawking I think the lure box was made by a company called PLANO,which are American.I think another company called Ryobi might have imported them into the UK for a while,but I suggest putting the words PLANO lure box into your search engine and see what comes up.There may be a company in the UK selling them.Good Luck.The T/A crew

[@candyraved]

One of my favorite fishing vids to date :)

[@jakenconor]

I love this guy.

[@TAFishing]

Any time, though morning and evening they make take better as their food fish will be more active then. They will take deadbaits at night but I have never heard of them grabbing lures. Any time its light is good for lures so they can see the lure, as there is smell from a bait, but not a lure.

[@TAFishing]

Bass deffo, or Pollack on a deep diver. But I would sooner fish plastics like Sidewinders,firetail worms etc. You can work them slower through the gullies.

[@TAFishing]

Not a lake.It was the Dorset Stour,which is a spate river running in to the sea on the south coast of England.Graeme

[@TAFishing]

Tidal stretch.Ringwood day ticket.Think it was £5 at bottom and £10 further up.

[@TAFishing]

Not really.They will take the smaller green one,but you want to use minnow or bleak livebaits,lobworms ,small spinners with red wool tag,Veltic number 4 red/silver combo used to be my favourite.

[@greatorderofchaos]

Graeme's voice at the end was hilarious, sounded like he was breathing helium

[@TAFishing]

@TheTootsiee Hi there, Pleased you liked the film. Check on the internet as there are plenty of firms doing pike lures.But don't be afraid to look up stuff in Australia.The best lures are plugs manufactured for Barramundi fishing.I certainly like them.Good fishing-Graeme,

[@Dan-folk-vechi]

Nice one sir!!! I love it!

[@TAFishing]

No to braid for me.I've seen a lot of big fish lost with it.So 12/15lb mono.A bit more forgiving, and as no distance casting required on a river it does the job fine.

[@speedystu7922]

lol hahaha 20:00 Im shouting at my laptop watching this "SOMEONE GET HIM HIS NET" AMAZING video WOW!! Loving your videos :o)

[@TAFishing]

We get so into the fishing we forget the landing net! Glad you like the video - Mike

[@TAFishing]

Don't lose lures,they are expensive,take the time to tie a good knot.Why not look on our website/KZbin,I put up two films on tying good fishing knots. Use the one called a tucked blood knot,and use at least 12lb mainline.Good luck for next time,at least you are getting some takes from the pike.

[@johnbrock7528]

i think the mystery lure at the end is unjointed Creek Chub Pikie or a copy. They often turn up on e-bay and don't go for silly money

[@marshman39]

ha ha, crazy old pikeman. great video old chap!

[@TAFishing]

There must be,but I don't know really know the area.Try typing the same question into your search engine and see if it comes up with any forums?

[@lukkyluciano]

Run for the net was hilarious

[@TAFishing]

Tried it years ago,but don't like them on a big lure,only small lures that the pike can engulf almost in one hit.

[@NorthantsNick]

Yes you can still get the "Abu hi-lo" lures. I have one in a pike type colouration.

[@TAFishing]

If I recall it was Sufix line.Probably 8kg(15lb),Better to be too strong than too light ! Graeme

[@alex-xu6qk]

Hello Graeme!! You are totally awesome!!!!

[@Marnek90]

Rapala wobbler, everlasting stuff, works like a charm always! :)

[@Why8827]

Hey guys, just caught my first ever pike. I't was a small jack and didn't give much of a fight, but it was really nice to catch one :D

[@eliteotaku]

if u use those wobbler lure u should put a bit of fish meat on the hook in the front to add some scent to hit.

[@TonyGilbert1]

The first lures you showed we use those for bass here in the USA

[@avaword6293]

You are a legend. i have watched a lot of your piking, good films! i rate single hooks had alot of problems getting double trebles out especially when they are deep in, i rate single hooks i caught a 14 1/2 at my local weir last weekend on a twitched sprat with a size 6 after watching your twitched sprat video! killer method!

[@TAFishing]

Think it was a Plano.There must be a company somewhere in the UK importing them

[@thomasthetankengin7722]

Legend! Lolled so much at the helium comment!

[@tony07sims1]

Very nice Old school wooden Lure's.. I need me some asap, winter's coming soon

[@bigred1342]

Hey nice fish! still waiting to get some good bass yet

[@TheTootsiee]

i don`t usually use plugs but you make me want to try good article love it great fishing

[@TAFishing]

No idea. I've had them years.Prtobably only a couple of pounds each back then.I haven't a clue what a lure costs now.£5 I'm guessing ? Best to search on the internet and see what is out there.

[@CatchingViews]

I love shakespeare reels lures ect.

[@henryzimmer]

Thanks for taking your time and making these videos! Keep up the good work! =D Cheers from Sweden! =)

[@vishuscirquel]

Great video mate. Lol…"i'm in big trouble, so might as well stay".

[@jonesyacdc]

30lb spider wire has never failed me. if you casting over 50 grams buy 60 or 70 pound braid bobcat pike is awesome

[@HarryAfterEffects]

Im in chippenham mate near you and theres a shitload of huge pike up here, u can fish day ticket aswell on the chippenham angling club stretch

[@TAFishing]

I wouldn't use mine. I don't want it broken.10ft ,2-piece spinning rod is what you want.9 feet will do. You may get something on the internet if you look. Don't break your match rod !!

[@MattsFishing]

Great video, I'm off for a lure session on Monday!

[@nanouk54]

I really learn a lot from your films, I just started fishing again after 45 years mostly beach fishing with a lure. Have you any films with beach and lures ?

[@gregmcluskey8280]

Great catch I just caught a pike on a strip of rainbow trout great fun :-)

[@wazapapu]

the best spoon for pike: rapala minnow spoon colour MBT:)

[@milansokanovic4354]

You have a good rod on the Wall !

[@lakingsboi]

Nice hopefully you will fish pike for years to come and catch a monster real soon

[@moodypa]

Haha legend! ran off for net with pike on the rod, great video ! just caught my first pike yesterday only small jack, but already mad to get out again, gonna take ur advice on the lures, cheers.

[@bobhatcher5505]

Great stuff!

[@darrenanthonyshortt9157]

hi guys if your thinking of puting a single hook what is best size hook to use .single hooks be easy on the pike and fingers .

[@blazin420trails]

Dude, RELAX before someone catches you floating in the water. You'll have a heart attack if you don't relax. Lol

[@joostklopper6971]

I don't understand why he is fishing lures with a baitrunner.. I think he doesn't even use a braided line as well. He is catching pike anyway, but it's just weird when you have your own youtube-channel with loads of followers but you don't even have a reel for lure fishing.

[@yikchang]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@MysticKnight38]

if they are tail striking on a regular basis you are retrieving too fast. Also, you can change out those trebles to singles easily.

[@ganners09]

Indeed, But what time in summer would you fish at?
