Hey bud. No worries at all and thanks for using the shop it’s much appreciated. Those lures are the ones in this video bud and obviously they work! Tight lines matey

[@Fishfourpike]

Well done Paul. Top vid.

[@riverpiker]

Cheers matey thanks for watching!!

[@Fishfourpike]

@@riverpiker keep filming. Watched for yrs. nice down to earth fishing.

[@highlandfishingdiary8818]

Really enjoyed that, seeing a venue I know from my youth all the way up to leaving ‘the north’. I used to fish different sections, but really nice to see you have a good session on there and once again show how simple pike fishing can be with a roving approach. I wish I had more confidence to try it on the massive lochs up here on the odd trip I do, usually I end up bait fishing. Oh and ‘it’s not a sex toy….’ 😆 all the best.

[@riverpiker]

Yeah matey thought you might like this one. I know what you mean about the big waters it can de hard work in the bank. Too tempting to just find a spot and wait it out but I guess that can be very productive sometimes also.

[@themib6747]

Loved this thanks

Cheers for watching buddy 👍

Thank buddy tight lines matey

Nice reels those ninjas i have a few of them

[@riverpiker]

Yeah same Phil I have a larger one on a sea lure fishing set up I use and also one on another jack bashing rod. Not silly money and they look nice too

Nice upload mate 👍

Cheers matey and thanks for watching!

[@johnloxley8705]

Now then buddy. Great to see you back on the pike yet again. You are an absolute pike magnet. What is going on? 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍 Cracking video buddy. Just to let you know I donated the other day as well. Went down the canal myself the other day. Had quite a few bites and lost a couple of fish. Only managed to catch one pike of 7lb and shame I didn’t catch any perch. Was nice to get back out after such a long time.. Back to work again now so don’t know when I will get back out again. Anyway your videos keep me entertained, and all the best buddy 👍👍😄😄🎣🎣

[@riverpiker]

Hi John. I’m a pike magnet but I couldn’t catch an perch last weekend for a video for ya! What a mare we had. Anyway hopefully out this weekend to do some filming on Sunday see what happens. Nice one on the pike matey good to get out, and not blank! Many thanks for donating also pal that’s much appreciated. ❤️

[@johnloxley8705]

@@riverpiker morning buddy. I think them stripeys are hiding but if anyone can find one, I’m sure you can. no problem buddy & It’s a pleasure as we all have people,, family and friends that at sometime go through certain things in life. Sometimes it’s not even a matter of getting older. It’s just that big man upstairs could be a bit more selective as there a lot of horrible nasty people out there he could have picked on but always takes it out on the good ones unfortunately.. I’m sure he will appreciate every little thing that you are doing to make an effort. It goes a long way but it really does. Anyway, all the best on your next adventure and look forward to seeing the video 👍🎣😄

[@MJ-85]

Great to see you back online mate! I`m used to using bigger lures, but the lighter set up looked like fun there. What rating rod & braid did you go for please? Many thanks mate and happy new year!

[@riverpiker]

Thanks matey good to be back. I will get you a video up soon and explain the set up 👍

[@MJ-85]

@@riverpiker that'd be awesome please mate and very much appreciated also!

[@riverpiker]

@MJ-85 check the latest video buddy

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

Awsome video Paul. My lure fishing has gone dead since the first cold snap few weeks ago. hopefully pick up again once high pressure comes in the prey fish move more then the predators will follow🐊🎣great capturin kes love kestrels

[@riverpiker]

Cheers Adam. Nice to have a blast in an old haunt again. Sometimes you move on from a venue and forget about it so it was nice to go back and catch a few. Shame the cold weather has spoilt your fishing mate. You need to find that area where the bait fish have loved to for winter as that’s where the predators are now also. Yeah love the wildlife when I’m out. Kingfishers and kestrels always bring my a big smile when I’m out 😃

[@gerardvanwestreenen6146]

You too buddy happy new year. I hope this year brings you some nice fish!

Dank je wel gozer 👍

[@PassaicRiverFishing]

Is he using Steel leaders? And what did braid

[@riverpiker]

Titanium leader but you can use steel also. I had 18lb braid and 20lb titanium leader

[@salfordlad69]

What size rod reel combo you using here. Also why kind of leader. Is it a wire trace or fluorocarbon?

[@riverpiker]

Hi matey. It’s a 7-21g rod with. 2500 size reel. 18lb braid with a 20lb titanium trace. It’s a bit of light fun so I’m kind of set up for maybe some perch and of course a few jack pike

[@salfordlad69]

@@riverpiker can’t beat catching pike on the light gear. I have a dam yagi rod and pike on that are a quality fight even the smaller ones.

Paul, did you ever get rid of that Gunki sling bag only I’m looking for one mate?

Hi mate I can’t remember now. I know I’ve not used it for a bit. Let me check my garage tonight. It will be in one of my big Lidl shopping bags stored away if I’ve still got it.

Good thanks mate good to see you back on the bank doing what you do best 👍

[@jimcaola1535]

Paul, couldn’t see if you were using a trace or not? If it was wire, was BS was it.

[@riverpiker]

Jim it was Cahira Nitinol wire in 12lb single strand. Can get it from the Riverpiker shop in various strains. I’ll try and remember to explain all my gear on future videos! 👍

[@jimcaola1535]

Cheers Paul, ordered 👍 maybe put links in the description for what you used?

[@riverpiker]

Cheers matey just packed it up and will post out now. Yes I could do that but to be honest I don’t wish my channel to be just an advert for the shop if you know what I mean. I could do that and maybe retire on the profits and then just pike fish all day, launching my boat from the jetty in the edge of my log cabin in the middle of nowhere. Fish all day catching big pike and maybe musky, then retire to a nice warm fire…..hold on a minute that sounds ace, why don’t do that! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimcaola1535]

That’s a fair comment and it’s why I subscribe to your channel, your are so down to earth and honest. I also love the fact you caught fish with a knackered reel rather than some really expensive bit of kit!! 😂
