[@scouseblarney6232]

The famous topwater snake strikes again and a bonus new lure to boot great vid George lovely place to fish that canal the scenery is epic keep it up mate really enjoy your content

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate I appreciate that! Yeah the day I lose that snake will be very sad, hoping to get my hands on a rat lure soon too!

[@grumpyguts1967]

gorgeous scenery at 2.30 imagine living in one of those houses and fishing that stretch whenever the mood took you , fantastic.

[@adventurefishinguk]

That’s the dream! I’d love to live right on the water one day

[@JJ.717]

Thank you for saving that’s pikes life! Another great video

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dannykennedy6667]

Great stuff mate, im brand new to fishing but you've got me interested in pike fishing. I think i recognise this stretch of canal so i might have a go myself this weekend. Thanks for the videos mate, keep it up 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate! You’ll have to let me know how you get on if you give it a go

[@delwigzieful]

Love these savage gear 3D snake great lure lots of patience is required when fishing the snake nice video,Dellboy

[@adventurefishinguk]

I love them too, in my opinion over summer they even out fish other traditional lures!

[@delwigzieful]

@@adventurefishinguk i used them in the USA i hammered the muskey and pike and small mouth and large mouth bass fishing from kayaks went lure fishing for 6 weeks 3 weeks in the Everglades then 3 weeks in Florida keys the snake was showed to us by a couple of American guys they came out in the USA 6 weeks before uk there absolutely awesome but i have another very tiny surface lure that is my favorite surface lure pike chub perch trout they all love this lure,Dellboy

[@hazzardoutdoors]

So that net will manage a pike. Nice one.

[@adventurefishinguk]

It will yeah, not a massive one though i've had one break on me before with a double. You dont really want to be lifting anything over 8 or 9 pound with it especially when its extended!

[@hazzardoutdoors]

@@adventurefishinguk thank you

[@durston55]

Beautiful scenery up your way. I've already got the Rigged and Ready 180 and my Predator rod from them just got delivered today. Going to wait until it cools down before I go and use it though. Cheers.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Lovely isn’t it! I hope you used the discount code, best to wait for it to cool down! I’m sure the rods live up to expectation!

[@philipmurray5493]

Nice one mate 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate!

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Love that top water snake 👍 did a great job and a great action. Nice free lure too 🙂

[@adventurefishinguk]

I love it too, got my last one stuck on some big reeds. Had to bite the bullet and order another straight away, set me back nearly £20 but I feel now I can’t go pike fishing without it 😂 ended up catching 3 in 3 trips on her!

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

@@adventurefishinguk fantastic 👍. I need to upgrade some of my kit. Love piking 👍. Will catch up on a few of your other films today. Cheers George, have a top weekend fella n maybe a couple of double figure Pike 👍 Rick

[@japanesefishingadventures]

That SNAAAAAKKKKEEEE!

[@adventurefishinguk]

I lost it unfortunately :( maybe the rat next

[@jambobee]

Well done mate,good job you caught that pike,you probably saved it,I was up there today but it was far to hot for it,went to glasson instead and targeted perch had over 20 👍🏼

[@adventurefishinguk]

Definitely, got myself a new lure too 😂 hopefully I'm gonna make a video fishing with it. I've never fished glassine, is it a day ticket? and any tips if I do? Would love to target perch, hardly any in the canal where I fish. That said, I did see a 3lber on there the other day

[@jambobee]

@@adventurefishinguk Glasson is teaming with perch,i use size 8 micro jig heads with tiny 1" shads catch most at the edge against the wall,Day tickets can be purchased from the shop at Glasson near the little bridge,weekends are very busy atm but midweek isn't as bad.

[@alison8526]

No wonder that Pike was a bit moody - wonder how long he'd been dragging that around...well done for sorting him out 👍👏🏻

[@adventurefishinguk]

I know! it's a first for me, I'll probably make a video using that lure to catch one on it myself in the future!

[@wolfypics7339]

Love your content fella. New sub here. Used to be a big fisherman up unitl 15 years ago. Now looking to get back into it. Is this the stretch near Crooklands? It looks kinda familiar as I have walked around there and thought how fishy it looked! Do you get Perch there too?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks mate I appreciate that! You should get back into it, and yeah it is around there. Can be a really tough stretch and fish aren’t there in numbers but there’s still some around, and the odd nice sized one 👍

[@wolfypics7339]

@@adventurefishinguk Thanks a mill, much appreciated! Would love to start again and give it a go there. Been trying to find out who owns it or where I can purchase a ticket? Thanks again!

[@adventurefishinguk]

@@wolfypics7339 I think it's kendal angling association mate

Looks like a fantastic spot!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Really scenic yeah, thanks for the comment I appreciate it!

[@davidprocter1585]

Riveting sport! Exciting when the action is on top! What's the score with permits for this bit, George? Further down its PAC, but I think that's below Carnforth

[@adventurefishinguk]

I know there's nothing quite like topwater fishing! Its run by kendal angling association either membership or day ticket from a local tackle store or on the bank

[@patomalley1744]

[@jackofalltradesmasterofnon8069]

I wouldn’t say the live snapped unless you took the line off the swivel, knot might has failed

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think you’re right mate didn’t consider that at the time!

[@TheEssexAnglerYT]

Great video mate!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thank you!

[@markfinlay725]

Another top video George. Can i ask, what braid do you use? I am curious because I have tried a few and have been very surprised as to how easily they break. Some at half their rated BS or less. My tests are by no means scientific and I am not going to name names in case it's something I am doing wrong. Highly possible because I ain't been doing this long.

[@adventurefishinguk]

Thanks Mark! I've not had chance to try many out but for my pike set up I splashed out on some expensive stuff and so far it's been worth it's weight in gold. It's called suffix 832 advanced superline

[@Bro_N_Tiller]

Looks like there's no braid on that wire trace so I'd say the knot failed rather than it snapping off. Great video man 💪

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think you're probably right! Glad you enjoyed the video 🎣

any recommendations for good cheap sea rods?

[@triggsyfishing3756]

No snakes here in Ireland but i guess I'll have to get this lure and figure out if the pike will still eat🤔 sick video man 👍

[@adventurefishinguk]

Never seen a snake around my ends either but they can't resist the action, best topwater lure on the market in my opinion!

Do you use a wire trace?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Most of the time, occasionally ill use a strong fluorocarbon leader 60lb ish but most of the time it’s wire

[@shellery87]

NO WAAAY! THAT LURE IS MINE!! I can't believe it. I snapped off on a 20lb fish... Don't know how that fish got hold of it.

Great vid man , try using a spook/walking bait on that canal , bet it would do well , tight lines

I’ll have a look into getting one thanks for the suggestion!
