Lovely fish ! Nice video about how to find a fish. You are 1st angler I see using Nomura Kanji rod which is my favourite:)

wow, cracking fish Graeme

We had the Sweetcorn Kid, now the Damson Dude! Brilliant stuff Graeme!

Well done Grahame another cracking video. Cheers Paul 🎣🎣

That is a big one for sure!

Nice one , only just started pike fishing myself, after predominantly targeting carp for years, hope im as lucky you were today; will for sure be using the twitch method on next session, i love your passion for angling

Generally the bigger Pike will pick up a larger deadbait,but I don't have much enthusiasm for sitting in one spot,so I keep mobile and hope I will stumble into any size fish.

Gotta text Mike! That was a crackerjack fish!!! 😁

What a pike. You have excelled yourself GP

Hi Graeme, What a great piece of filming here. Superb Fish on the Kanji Rod. We are definitely heading for Winter now with the Gritters out during the night from Fife to Aberdeen whilst driving the Lorry last night. Hoping to start Cod Fishing sometime soon, with the warm Floatation Suit on of course. Nothing beats them for warmth with my Lined Eiger Wellies. Steve in Fife.

Watch the ice on the roads up there..Its a bit nippy down here tonight,I was out on the beach last night,cool but not really cold.Mind you I had plenty of layers on.

Great pike Graham and aa great video. 😁🎣🎣👍

i have never understood why no one ever made a brand of socks made out of long-john material! - what a great catch! i've not yet caught a pike, it is a hope of mine to add one to my species list great to see u again sir... you bring me some peace...

Great watch, informative and encouraging as always, - I’m a beginner and haven’t caught a pike yet, little nervous although tempted to have a go, wouldn’t want to catch anything so big - the stretch of river that you are on isn’t far away - good to see that very decent fish live in that river, couple of hours in the winter on an afternoon is doable and survivable in the cold, since Pike are an apex predator it should mean that somewhere in the river must be smaller fish which keep them alive.

As a sea fishing only chap, i have to say i am over the moon watching this. Your emotions are enough 😊. Proper angler though and through. Oh, as a PS. I remember going into your shop, which i think was/is in Farnborough. Wow what a tackle shop.😊😊

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water !

It truly bothers that no longer can you just go to any river or canal without having to go and pay for the day tickets.. once over you could just go to any river drop in your rod and a way your go.. in the north east of England it's all about territory.. recently I thought I had found some river that was fishable but then I find out that one mile of natural river is now owned by an angling society.. they certainly don't keep the river weedless.. no they just bring attention to their society and money for their ticket's but yet they do no maintenance on the river yarm.. I'm not saying all angling societies I like this but not everyone wants to go populated heavily fished river.. for me just going and dropping your lures into a river and hoping for the best is part of the fun.. you didn't say that this river your fishing in Greame was day ticket or is it simply just river you can fishing with your rod license? There are NO wild rivers( good rivers) left in the UK that are free to fish as long as you have your rod licence.. rivers are either owned by syndicate A holes Weedless.. you're either the luckiest guy or it's all down to skill Greame. I think I need to be travelling down south for the weekend or at least every other weekend .. it seems to me North Yorkshire is just more stress than pleasure fishing..

@mikehaines6520

It the same in the South, - the fishing rights are owned by someone - either day tickets or by an angling club, some of the angling clubs have been around for a very long time and are quite wealthy, they have a large membership although not sure how many members actively fish, the clubs do maintain the rivers for fishing as best they can but it generally relies on the members being able and willing to assist. There are few areas which are “free” - these tend to get abused. On our local rivers so few people fish these days, seldom do you see anyone, partly because it’s so difficult to catch anything, - most head for the stocked day ticket lakes which get hammered by match fisherman.

Hello Graeme, wow what a Pike mate a real stunner, always enjoy your channel, Im off Carp fishing this coming weekend, long time since ive done this but lets see how it goes,all the best, be well, keep safe.

Very true comment not only rivers but now lakes there quick to take your money but loads now don't maintain there waters the weed problems are ridiculous and all it takes is once a month dredge the weed it doesn't cost millions,so all you fisheries out there were tired of these conditions do something about it ffs!!!!!!!

brilliant Graeme you could make Damson Gin jut put damsons in a large glass jar cover with Gin add sugar for swwetness leave for 6 months drain and drink

Every time you hook up you always have to empty your net you need a rucksack 😂 but yet another good video

Constant inspiration G! Tell Mike to give up on the septics, and get out perch fishing with ya asap 🤓 Someone should get ya as guest on Mortimer and Whitehouse,maybe you can help the little fella from calling over on the bank every episosde! Muchos,muchos, my friend...M.

Oh you caught it don't tell where its from or it will end up catch and cook

Is that really easier than a sledge hammer, slight improvement I guess.

When says to me "i dont know why your fishing here, there no fish here or the fishing's rubbish here" i amost always catch something. Its like a call to arms for me!!

For a pike that big. The river must be relatively healthy

get pike , no more than you deserve. top fishing

Get the pack of cards.shuffle and split. Put one pile on other.turn the top card how far is the 3 of diamonds.

Invest in a battery heated jacket ,,mine last 4 hrs on one charge it's to hot if anything great buy

Also m8 any suggestions on some good trace wire and correct crimps I can buy just to make some traces??

@TAFishing

6 ай бұрын

I don't use crimps myself for pike fishing traces ,but I do use heavier wire cable,generally about 30lbs or so. If its multistrand I just knot it. Snip off the tag end and you can put a drop of Superglue gel or araldite over the tag end. I think the wire spool I use is probably not made any more,was it Tideline or Tidecutter or something ??. It was basically wire line for either trolling or sea fishing .But if you check you local tackle shop they might have something similar.

Great vlogs graham question for you wat sort of braid do you use for pike? Is it 4 strand or 8? Any help appreciated 👍👍

@TAFishing

6 ай бұрын

I have a feeling it was 8 ?.. It was 50lb Sidewinder Braid,I think it might be marketed as Sidewinder silk ?? Hope you can track it down,I only have it on the reels so no box to check stats. It was a lure angler that put me onto using heavy braid for lure fishing some years back.They want to get their expensive lures back and it makes a lot of sense as now I changed to it I can often drag out whole branches,get my end rig back and clear the river at the same time. Of course if you slam into a sunken tree or solid object its usually game over,but even then I have straighten hooks out with the pressure of pulling,then put them back in shape with long nose pliers.
