We caught SO many pike on these lures? The pike were biting like CRAZY! - Episode 3

One 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.

This is episode 3 of 6 from a days pike fishing with me and Neil. Riverpiker at it's finest!

Nice one lads! I’ve never fished a jig fly, but I’m going to 👍

[@riverpiker]

They are a good option to have in your bag when using small lures cos they can have a large profile. Good if you spot pike when your perch fishing

[@highlandfishingdiary8818]

Nice to see Neil showing you how it’s done 😆 seriously though, great demonstration of how effective lures can be, the deads you put out, thus far getting ignored. Me - I’ll keep fishing deads and luring around them and blanking, but that’s fishing 😆 👍

[@riverpiker]

I think it's my editing skills making Neil look good! Last video of this series we wrap up the deadbaits so stay tuned. And yeah we often fish like this when staying in one place, lures and deads. Least that way you know you;ve done everything

[@Smiffy830]

Great stuff, I'm a bit envious, I've blanked last 2 times out. 😮

[@riverpiker]

Mate I fished four different venues today and not a sniff. Hopefully this weekends warm wind should get something going. This swim in this video today is a waste of space. Totally different to a few weeks back.

[@Smiffy830]

We've got storm warnings, 70mph winds, leave me tackle in me shed & get the kite out. All the best marmate.

[@riverpiker]

@@Smiffy830 🤣🤣 I’ll dig some heavy jig heads out and see if I can keep my lure down.

[@DefinitelyMaybe7]

Brilliant! I need to invest in some bigger flies. Can you reccomed any?

[@riverpiker]

On facebook check out these guys. Kato Jigfly or MScustomflies,

[@DefinitelyMaybe7]

@riverpiker Thanks mate! Thumbs 👍

[@royhumphreys1278]

Brilliant fishing, I've got a 4 to 24 gram okuma phyco perch rod with a 2500 reel loaded with 30lb berkley whiplash and ti traces. I've a load of good jig flies but I'm blanking every time I go out lately with the flies so it's good to see them working. I'm catching on the bigger lures like the maurus mouse and big wolf creek shads but can't seem to catch on the flies, must be me. I'm fishing the thames and the grand union canal when the weather permits. any advice would be welcome. thanks for the quality videos.

[@riverpiker]

Neil is usually better with them than me. I catch a few but I don’t give them enough time. He tends to fish them really slow and gets them down, especially when it’s cold. There’s a few types of jigfly material I’ve found. I have a few made from the shiny tinsel and some from material more like wool. I do better in the tinsel ones I’ve found.

[@royhumphreys1278]

Thanks for the reply. I'm exactly the same i don't give them enough time that's probly where I'm going wrong. I enjoy throwing the big lures that I have confidence in. Thanks again and tight lines mate.@@riverpiker

[@riverpiker]

Sound just like me mate. I know I could catch more if I tried other lures but usually just end up throwing same lures I normally do

[@nuklearpuppy]

Great stuff 👌

[@riverpiker]

Thank you 🙌

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Great fishing any good for the dead bait's something new??

[@riverpiker]

Good shout mate. Last video in this session is deadbaits, and i might do a session elsewhere at some point.

[@Cavanpikefishing]

@@riverpiker great stuff will look forward to it all aways👍🎣

[@darrenrodd.]

They pulse awesome lures to use

[@riverpiker]

Yeah great action. Nice profile and different in the water to most lures

[@peterboatmanftateamfishing6825]

Where is this happening?!

[@riverpiker]

We're in the UK buddy

[@peterboatmanftateamfishing6825]

I know,same here, ....is near Leeds I think

[@riverpiker]

@@peterboatmanftateamfishing6825 it’s a private peg though buddy luckily I work there

[@peterboatmanftateamfishing6825]

Fantastic day!!!

[@peterboatmanftateamfishing6825]

Near lakes 1and 2 :) found it

[@rsturb01984]

As much as I love your content am kinda getting bored of seeing you fishing the same spot over and over again

[@riverpiker]

Matey this video is a 6 part from same session. It’s not six different days. KZbin stats tells me most people can’t be bothered watching an hour long video so I split it up. I’ve got a couple videos done elsewhere and when I get chance I’ll be fishing other spots and hopefully get a video or two done. 👍

[@rsturb01984]

@@riverpiker it's good to see your catching as it's proving difficult just recently on the lures for myself on my local canal up in shardlow you certainly have them pike well trained 😜
