4 Tips for PIKE FISHING from the Shore 🐊

Fishing pike from the bank can be extremely fun and rewarding, but it comes with a few limitations and challenges compared to fishing from a boat/float tube or kayak.

In this video Pontus goes pike (and a little perch) fishing in a big lake in Northern Sweden and shares his best tips for pike fishing from the shore.

Thanks for all your love, we’ll make more shore fishing videos for sure! 👊🏼 After reading all your comments and suggestions about the dead fish, I think it is a European Bullhead and not a goby (luckily). Also, I’ve seen two good tips in the comments that I’d like to share with you, which are:

1. Always bring a first aid kit
2. Make sure to make a few short casts from the shore before entering the water with the waders

I’ve also gotten many questions about the tackle box with a handle, which is really convenient for shore fishing, and it’s a Vision Aqua ”Big Daddy” box. You can get it here:


Peace!

Thank you for making a video about fishing from shore. Not everyone has a boat. Great video!!! Thank

I love pike because when you put the pike back In the water they sometimes just sit there slowly swinging around and you can admire how pretty they are

The fact that you’re just losing light at 11 pm shows how far north this is

My best tactic. Throw the lures in the water and not on the shore!

Pontus: goes shore fishing. Brings more stuff than I bring when boat fishing. 😉

If I had to add anything from my little experience:
I like to make a few casts from shore before going into the water. Just in case if I was about to spook out any fish close to the bank :)

Getting my first rod tomorrow. My boy been fishing for a few years so I thought rather then being extremely bored I may as well do it with him. Lake and pike mainly. Thanks for the tips

As someone who fishes what I recommend is buying a kayak you can go where boats can't, you can go where there isn't a shore, and it's cheaper than a boat.

Despite owning a couple boats, I still do quite a bit of shore fishing for pike, and IMO the biggest thing is to move around and cover lots of water. I am constantly moving along the shore and generally only throw 3-6 casts in any spot before wading 10-20 yards further... unless I get a bite or catch a fish. For this reason I take very little gear when fishing from shore... one rod, a few proven spoons and spinners, and some hook removal equipment. When fishing from shore I find increased mobility will get you into far more fish than bringing lots of gear.

I live in Colorado and they just announced a 20 dollar bounty for every pike turned in here in certain lakes. I know absolutely nothing about pike fishing and randomly came across this video and feel i just learned a lot...thank you and I cant wait to try out some of these things tomorrow

The little dead fish is a European Bullhead (Cottus gobio). Mainly lives in stony rivers but Wikipedia says "It also occurs on the gravelly shores of cold lakes".

I’ve been into fishing a while now and it’s really not that easy as everyone thinks, I’m from Sweden and pike is a great asset here in my area but I haven’t caught many. I like to blame my equipment but my technique isn’t the best, I hope this video helps

I figured pike and perch were only in Canada. Sweet man. I've been pike fishing at this creek for the last week by my house and I've pulled in over 20 there this week. 2 foot long average. At this location I've just been using pike swim baits and jigheads with nightcrawlers. I've taken the 3 pronged barbed hooks off cause they love to swallow them lures lol.

Love the way he called the deformed fish beautiful too. So wholesome 🥺🥰

[domedo]

This dead fish is a in German language : Grundel 👌
Nice video dude ✌️

[TomPossibly]

Great video. Keep doing these pls. Combine fishing and a few tips as well. Shorefishing is what most of us do and theres not enough youtubers doing it.

[emilandersson]

Good tips there...using waders was the best for me. I do most of my fishing from shore and searching for wegetation is my number one tip especaly waterlillies, if ther is any. Bring light gear so you dont have to carry so much, i like to use a little bit longer rods so you gain a few meters in your casts cowering more water, but that is up to eweryones taste. And make sure you have a fichingpermit if you need one.
