Urban Canal Pike LOVE Big Lures! Big Fish Landed!

This session I was on the hunt for some big canal pike using big lures! I started off in an urban location. The conditions were perfect for this type of fishing. I fished most of the session using a 25cm Mc Pike which is a large paddle tail swimbait. The idea was that the large target would be irresistible to a big hungry canal pike. The session went really well with some cracking fish and one of the biggest of the year landed for me.

Best fishing YouTuber hands down. Best knowledge, best technique. You deserve a million subs, more even.

I'm a canal paddleboarder and I've got a phobia of fish that I'm starting to get over, great video, very informative and I love the respect you give the fish, I'd never believe that they are so unharmed and actually better off in some sense like with the leeches after you clean them off and put them back.

Love how you explained how you'd rather lose the fish than it being injured by the hooks

Sadly, as an armchair angler tase days, your films are so well made and remind me of many decades gone by. A newcomer to your splendid site, but will enjoy your back catalogue (much!) and those of 2023. Hope you and yours had a fine Christmas and enjoy the 2023 you deserve. VBW x

Pike look like the sort of fish that would fight harder than they do

I'm a simple man. I see The Ginger Fisherman uploaded a pike fishing video, I click and I watch it.

Happy Holidays and New Years TGF!!!

For big lures, you could try Bomber. All I use for pike and damn... Also, your videos are extra super. Love watching. So relaxing, so enjoyable. You go, ginger!

You're so fortunate to be living in England. There is so much variety to the freshwater fishing there.
