That double take left me shocked! Great angling landing those two fish mark 💪 Looking forward to the next episode already! Many thanks, Dave

The rubbish problem also happens on my local Nene just west of Peterborough.....seems to originate from a certain part of Europe. The disposable BBQ's are pretty common in these parts....Hopefully the winter should alleviate the problem to some degree.... I lure fish for Perch and Pike (in the winter) and do a lot of roving miles.....it's a problem but mostly where it's a short walk to various swims.. I tell you what though, I'd be well happy with those Jacks you caught as the Nene has been a blank fest since the ridiculous flooding these past few weeks...

[@raybatchelor6601]

Really good angling Mark. You put the time and effort into your fishing and you care for the fish Its ashame that people do not clean up after them self's 10 out of 10 for picking up that rubbish KTF

The wife wasn't too happy me bringing a full bag of someone else's crap 🤣

Interesting how you hook your baits. I go in through the mouth and out through the eye socket. The idea being that we're pulling the baits back out, basically, and hook up when the circle hook turns a corner in the fish's mouth. All mine have been hooked in the scissors. The mouth/eye gives plenty of movement for the hook to swivel and find a spot. Sometimes go in through the mouth and out through the top of the head. Both work for soft baits like sardines. Not saying there's a right or wrong, there are too many variables to be didactic about hooking a pike, and if it works it works. Something I find with sardines, is the guts get torn out. This is a mystery as it's often on reservoirs with no known eel or crayfish populations. Best bet is it's small predators like little perch or maybe sticklebacks having a go at the soft flesh. Anyway, it looked like a good day's piking on the fens.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

I find coming through the eye the bait is liable to fly off during the cast

[@iansanderson6301]

Interesting video, How do you know which drains are free stretches though? Surely chopping and changing locations means you have to be a member of whatever club has the fishing or know about day ticket waters??

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

I've been fishing the area for over 20 years and know them very well, just experience really

[@johnshoesmith2646]

Heart pounding stuff.but good fun.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

get the old heart rate pumping 🤣

[@mickheathcote4570]

Hi Mark, i'm moving to lincs soon, are the drains any good for Roach, Tench, Bream? Not interested in Carp. Will be just outside Mablethorpe, any info would be useful, thanks.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

They are fantastic! Locally Great Eau and Louth canal

[@mickheathcote4570]

@@Fishing4Pleasure Thank you Mark, I'll look them up. Hopefully in by Christmas.

[@terrywhite7039]

Double Take and you had prepared 2 nets!

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Always fish with two nets

[@SGT952]

The bdaa do an absolute terrible job of look after the drains. All they're worried about is the lake they have! Lots of poachers go unchallenged as the bailiffs are to scared to challenge them.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

They only control the match rights for that drain, free fishing and not patrolled by anyone

[@SGT952]

@@Fishing4Pleasure they always seem to find me on the bank and get me to pay for a day ticket 🤣

[@thenotsowrightfamily8205]

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

So sad, but well done to your boys and you
