And it’s a nice change too bud. Good banter with the mates and super scenery

Hi Andrew. I generally have about 18inch. It helps with protection against rocks etc. most waters I fish are quite shallow but rocky and braid doesn’t generally do well for abrasion resistance m.

Matey that’s awesome to hear. Now you’ve found a way to catch them and an area where there are pike so just keep at it. Sounds to me also that maybe the pike are pressured and that could be why they are taking something meant for perch off the bottom. They usually like to chase but if pressured then they can shy off. Keep enjoying it matey!!

Decent route from seathwaite it had a bit of everything. The last parts I filmed which were the on the rocky slopes etc you don’t need to do that part and actually instead the route up to scafell pike is then gravel track. Give it a go mate you can do an easy route from Wassdale which is only 5m in total. The seathwaite route is better in my opinion though and as I say you do need to do the dodgy parts.

Yeah mate really great day for it. If you fancy it pal there’s an easier route from Wasdale but I’d recommend just getting out for some walks and getting some walking and elevation fitness. Average fitness is all you need then pick a clear day to enjoy the views. Can even take the rod with you as some routes have little lakes and rivers! 👍

🤣🤣 we did pass a tarn but it looked even colder than my last pond dip!

Cheers Anthony. Yeah we did notice that, it was Facebook paradise up there. Trainers and shirts everywhere. Also noted that it looked a tiny bit easier to do the pike from Wass side. It was only 5 mile there and back and a gravel track all way. Anyway really glad we chose this route as we actually all feel like we did actually conquer a couple of proper peaks. Superb weather made it even better we really did get lucky on our first time.

Scafell Pike from Wasdale is about 21/2hrs up and down,you lads did a proper job. I only live about 10 miles from Wasdale,descent trout fishing in wastwater no pike to speak of.

Yeah guessed that’s about what it would take. You live in a beautiful place matey especially when that sun is shining! I need to spend more time fishing up there I’ve not done that much to be honest. May bring the kayak up at some point I just need to get myself some free time sorted.

If you do get up,and need any info launch sites,tickets be happy to help.Regards Anthony.

😂😂

ha ha like me mate calamity after calamity sometimes. Might have to get myself some seal skins for the winter. I'm getting a bit older so i guess i need to keep the cold out. Though it helps staying dry in the first place!

it's what my followers want to see Ian. ha ha!!

nive one mate. Not nice when things go wrong but when you can safely sort it all is good in the end. we best not do it again though i reckon eh!

graham, they do but have you seen how slow the trees grow the nearer you get to the north pole? Deffo not growing in that icey water i tell ya

ha ha good job eh! didn't get that one right did i bud. Hopefully i'm not so sloppy next time out

ha ha mate it was super cold those nads didn't enjoy it. And yes due another bath now so might need to nip back! cheers for the comments and for watching the videos matey

hey matey, cheers for watching. Yeah we did back in the day. We used anything we could get our hands on. For me, i didn't know much better as i never read the mags and certainly was no internet. But i caught some fish and enjoed my fishing. These days we have all the gear and no idea!

cheers Adam

i think she was over the moon mate. She's been taking dog out 4 times a day ever since just in case i go fishing again!

@@riverpiker Don’t let her down 🤣👍

ha ha i'm a numpty mate!

ha ha not my origninal plan but cheers for subbing matey much appreciated.

just for the ladies this one pal they love this kinda thing

Fish care

yeah mate bit of a mess up but least i was able to sort it.

Tell me about it bud i still have to check they are both there now!

matey what a numpty eh! Least i sorted it in the end and it shows we all get it wrong sometimes.

yep, was a little bit nippy mate.

Hi Paul quick question if I may looking for quality bait caster for my heavy pike set up have 300 tranx on my 20-80 jerkbait rod and Bft on my 40-130 which never been fan of

Cheers matey. Looking back it feels as if it was meant to be. A few months ago I get my RUclips act back in the road and off I go fishing filming again. Last fish if the season is a river twenty, I couldn’t have planned it better. Cheers for watching as always matey and thanks for the kind words. I was up the Yorkshire dales yesterday for 14+ mile walk and plenty of climbing as sat watching floats doesn’t get me fit for 24 mile in April. 🤣

Cheers John!!

Cheers matey. Yeah they are fantastic creatures. They still amaze me even now after all these years

Cheers Peter. No my pb is 27lb but from years and years ago. Best in recent years is 25lb. I can’t a few 20s a year but they don’t always drop in the videos. I do keep a bit of fishing back just for myself.

@@riverpiker I have 12oz on ya mate !.. 😂(my avatar pic) and that was 10+ years ago now...but at 66y.o., I'm runnin out of time to get a 30.. 🙄 The pike fishin over here in Ireland is gone very bad these last few years... for obvious reasons , some (you know who) see coarse angling as a source of free food...nothing more... Anyhoo, tight lines , mate !.. I look forward to yer next vid, don't be working too hard .. 😎👍☘️🍺

Belter that matey. I’d be happy catching one an oz under that mate. And yeah I know what you mean mate it’s the same all over these days and also so many people fishing for them makes it hard

​@@riverpiker Still, a bad day out fishin is still better than sittin on yer arse at home, wishing you'd gone.. 😂 You talked in the vid about the pain we go through, well as it happens I have had 20+ (lost count) consecutive day-session blanks of late.. and I mean not even a jack.. Dunno why, I've even started using a baitboat to drop deads out at range and included chopped up free offerings... I've taken a break from it for 3 weeks now, I need to re-group & get my head back in the game, we have no closed season here so that helps too... All my piking is done on large freshwaters here, my local lake, Lough Gara is 12.5 square kilometres area so plenty of hidey-holes for 'em... 🤨 Patience & persistence is the name of the game though so I'll stick at it ...😖😉 😎👍☘🍺

Yeah mate different ball game out where you are. I’ve had a go once and will come back one day. Yes you need ti have a break sometimes that’s either some time off or maybe a new venue or method just to give you a change. You already know it buddy but it can all change in an instant in fishing. And this wild Irish pike don’t always give themselves up so easy but that adds to the whole game doesn’t it buddy. I wish you luck pal and I’m sure you will be in to a beast sometime soon.

Cheers matey appreciate that buddy

Yeah buddy they are. I love how young pikes markings differ from older pike and also how clear water pike look. Their markings usually stand out much more.

Cheers Marc. Yeah she was a super fish to finish off really happy with that. Fish care is a big thing these days with so many at it and if you are pushing out videos for everyone to see then you need to set an example. That said, I try my best always and theres no extras for the cameras. I’ve noticed over my many years at filming that it’s easy to get carried away with the commentating and filming the fish and then when you watch the clip back it can be absolutely ages before the fish goes back in the water. For me now there’s often loads of time where the fish is left in the net while I faff with cameras then you can just get the fish out quickly and get it back. You can probably see me looking at something and that’s my phone screen so I can see what my GoPro is filming live and that makes it all much quicker too. As for the other RUclipsrs, I hope some of them learn to streamline the time the fish is out of the water. Anyway thanks for the kind words and positive feedback matey much appreciated. ❤️

No worries brother! Keep going, we'll keep supporting ya! 😎

Cheers Adam and thanks for watching and commenting all the time it’s very much appreciated.

Cheers matey much appreciated and thanks for watching as always. One of my long time followed and I appreciate that matey 👍

Hi Phil. It’s the Yorkshire Three peaks, Penyghent, Whernside and Ingleborough and the route is 24miles.

Cheers Neil, sure was mate. Couldn’t have written a script as good as that eh! 🤣🤣
