welcome to the comments section - here's a link to a slightly more productive topwater pike vlog we filmed! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmfTo4J3icinock

That’s fishing and your keeping it real, sadly something many don’t. But oh boy isn’t surface fishing so fun, it doesn’t matter if you hook up or not! It’s all about the take and the explosive visual fishing it offers above any other method. As for the channel it’s getting better and better guys. Keep it up, much love Chris Xx

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers Chris, and thanks for the view! Muchos appreciados 👍👍

[@febriss4267]

*I would say it’s dang good since **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s caught a pike first time using it! My cousin had one that cost the same price I paid, but for one. And didn’t catch anything. I say it’s a winner!*

[@auto_5]

Great production. Thoroughly enjoyed!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Jake! Sorry we couldn't put one on the bank!

[@claytonharrison2920]

Great video guys. Love inducing a topwater take from a pike that has followed to the rod tip. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. I recently had a trace fail on me at a lake and leave a rig in the fish. My mate had never caught anything and was on his 11th blank tried to make me feel better saying it would come out again. I said it wouldn't, as it would be sulking. Then a big momma I didn't know was at my feet got a gobfull of my jigfly tail and no hook and I was ready to drown myself. Next day my mate lands his first ever fish. 8lb pike with my rig in it's mouth, then follows it up with his second. The big momma at 17lb on the nose. Fishing is just like that and we love it that way.

[@wonkylommiter6364]

Great vid guys. I know this bit of canal and have had a good few perch on the float fishing set up, it's handily on my way home from work. haven't tried lures there yet but might get out there again soon.

[@baldvale5418]

Savage Takes ! we'll leave it there.

[@adam1982green]

Great honest video guys, should do another surface video now were having all this hot weather 👍🏻🎣 Keep up the great videos 👌🏻

[@IBandAndyFishing]

not my best day that one, hopefully we'll get something else done soon!

[@jimmynich4791]

I use the daiwa d-popper frog for fishing on the surface and it gets a lot of takes but really tricky to hook the pike. That's the trade off for fishing weedless sometimes.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

totally agree, they need some real setting. Better than winding in weed every cast!

[@Rochdale74]

Ieva made me think of a Roy Chubby Brown song talking about eating the pike.............."who ate all the PIKE?........." hahahaha

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I will need to find that on KZbin and watch it! 🤔🤔🤔

[@feralgrandad4429]

I bet if you'd forget the camera you nailed them all lol! Still a fun video though guys :-)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

We were unlucky with the average size I think FG, they're not usually that tiny around this area!

[@keithbottomley3138]

Shame about the missed takes , but that's fishing , interesting to see the surface lures in action , cheers

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Some very different takes there eh? The static one was fascinating, I've done that before with fish which followed jigs, but for it to happen on a surface lure was really cool!

[@Jomzi01]

You have got my subscription. Congratulations

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thank you! 😍❤

[@richardkennedy7941]

I caught nothing last weekend or the weekend before trout fishing though so i know how it feels aswell, hopefully be better this weekend, just found this channel and been binge watching your vids as i just got back into me fly fishing and started bait and lure fishing after about 9 years away from it altogether through having no time from having a child and work, now I don't work weekends and she's nearly 8 I've started again and she comes aswell the odd time

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

Just a bit of constructive criticism : try working the lures a LOT slower. Frogs and ducklings move quite slowly unless they are panicking and that in itself is enough to put a skittish pike off. Absolutely love your videos BTW!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers Mick, and generally I'd totally agree, but on this (very warm) evening I couldn't get a touch unless I was ripping it - really frustrating! There's usually a few bigger ones around here but no joy this time. It's nearly topwater time again though, thank goodness!

[@thehooky2812]

We’ve always wanted to try pike fishing and this method surely has to be the most fun way to catch them??

[@IBandAndyFishing]

No doubt, if you want giggles then topwater is the way! Some venues though, it just doesn't seem to work for some reason. Give it a go, you'll love it!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

I take it these lures are no good in winter?

[@andrewmcgovern4347]

Im fairly new to fishing i was thinking of getting one of those small frog or duck top water lures but was wondering would they get cought in many reeds.

[@garethhodgson1404]

Hi Andy, one question please, I'm primarily a Fly Fisherman, however I've just got into predator Fishing with Rats etc (and boy is it exciting when they pounce!), having a lot of success with a Spro at the moment, what's the thinking behind 50 pound braid, I'm currently using 15 pound mono with a trace, is it just to give it some extra welly, and to pull free of snags etc?

[@lewishurst4155]

My local canal that have had some good pike from that stretch

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It’s an awesome canal Lewis, when I lived local to it for 3 years, myself and Andy were fishing it regularly. Perhaps we even bumped into each other at some point? IB xx

[@lewishurst4155]

Possibly might bump into each other again

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hopefully!!

[@bosco292]

I get much more follows and hits when l slow the retrieve right down and start twitching the lure slowly around in circles especially near the bank to trigger their aggression! They will normally hit the lures on the first or second cast in each particular new spot the second they see it, if they are in the mood to feed and provided they are still in the canal river or lake. A slower retrieve speed will definitely yield more results! A fast retrieve makes the lure look unnatural on the surface and spookes the pike into turning away!

[@dieseltroy3477]

That’s my local canal aswell😂

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It’s a good canal! Plenty of fish in there, don’t catch them all, leave some for us too! 😂 IB x

[@ben_wilson1605]

Was just about to comment that

[@Ryandawson018]

Catching fish isn't everything 👍🏻 If we all caught everytime we go out it would get boring.... I think you learn more when you blank as you focus more on technique ,style , features etc ..makes us better X 🤟🏻

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I learned I either need smaller lures or bigger pike!

[@Ryandawson018]

@@IBandAndyFishing sometimes the pike will just hit it out just because it's there .. I find with top water lures sometimes the hook up rate can be poor if using weedless... Try using a non weedless top water and I bet you land some

[@SRobinson1485]

Is that canal ever used by boats theres a lot of weed in the middle of it

[@IBandAndyFishing]

this one isn't used much no, hence the weed, a handy little spot for a pike!

[@scottbailey8215]

if you dont minde me asking were is that canal plz

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Hi Scott, out of respect for local anglers we don't give any locations away. Hope you understand 👍👍

[@FanterFishing]

Nice one people 👍👍

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks for the view Fanter!

[@andrewward4575]

Wire trace on the 50lb braid?

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Wire trace indeed Andrew!

[@briain_odonnghaile]

ALWAYS.......Fluoro is for fish with no teeth....and Yanks🤣

[@dpfisherman]

well done both another cracking video :)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Cheers DP, appreciated!

[@russnicholas6796]

nice video you two !! Topwaters always awesome , fly or lure they're all good Last year as the summer rolled on , my most consistent fishing with surface lures was after dark! Bit like a fishy game of murder in the dark I appreciate it's difficult to film at night but it's scary mad fun when you get big takes out of the blue, don't half make me jump sometimes. Looking forward to summer already. Maybe you could try to find the best weedless / snag less lures that are around now? Could be an interesting video My vote for the absolute best weedless lure ever would have to be an old one but a top lure none the less... Heddon Moss Boss in yellow or frog costume

[@IBandAndyFishing]

The moss boss, you're a man after my own heart! Yeah I'd definitely agree that the best topwater sport is in the dark, but as you say, it'd make an odd vlog 😂 Can't wait for topwater time again, it still feels a little way away though!

[@daveberry9922]

have you tried the puppy dog lure lol. or cat fetus xxx

[@TheAdamgilbert]

We've all been there!

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Too often Adam! Have you been fishing topwaters this summer?

[@TheAdamgilbert]

@@IBandAndyFishing yea i fish for bass down on the south coast and have been throwing the albie snax which is pretty much a top water, a deadly one at that!

Need to do this to stop snagging

[@snootystu]

your retrieve is too fast try pulling it in at the speed of the real thing

Keeping it real 😉

You know Andre! Been catching any more?

That music is power shit

[@troyc9026]

This is a great video for those who want to watch what lures look like in the water unimpeded by fish biting them. For those looking to watch fish being caught, look elsewhere.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Certainly not the session we hoped for, that's certain!
