I Had to Fish Dead Bait in This Wild Forgotten Pond
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 01. 2023
- I just had to fish dead baits in this wild forgotten pond. This session I decided to hit the first ever "forgotten pond" I'd explored a couple years ago. Only this time using dead baits. The aim was to hit a number of different swims drifting a variety of sea baits a few feet beneath the surface in the hopes of pulling out a few forgotten pond pike. There's no better feeling than seeing that float start to bob and slide beneath the surface! Enjoy!

When Chris goes into the woods today... he's in for a big pike surprise ❤️🥰
Know where you are Chris , not going to say ! used to fish it in the 1980s nice to see you can still get on it , love watching your videos brings back good memories ATB !
The weather here has been the same, high winds, endless rain swelling the river and the pools to one giant lake. I can't get to the Forgotten ponds here yet. But there must be some huge fish In them like Yours. Keep 'Em Coming.
Awesome content Chris!🔥 No matter how cold it can be, fishing is more fun than sitting at home!
Another great pike hunt ,, good to see there different sizes of pike in the ponds
Thanks for sharing
chris:"we got so many snags, we got the tree branches, we got the reeds"
me: "we got the traffic cone"
Me - I went out to fish yesterday but came straight back as I'd forgotten where the forgotten pond was.....
Trolleys 😂
Well done Chris you work hard to catch your fish keep the good work up love watching your vids Kindest regards Mr D
I just love to see people fish with dead bait. Continue with the great content.
Love these forgotten ponds videos, you just never know what's in those kind of hidden gems. Looked baltic, hope you had your thermals on. Great tip on the twitching method 👏 👍
Once again i have only just started and know it’s gonna be an incredible video!
I'm always impressed by your skills as a true fishing all rounder. The different species you target and number of methods you use put my own modest efforts to shame.
I wonder if he ever blanks!!
Great fishing Chris - great to learn from you changing tactics on the fly!
I love VMC hooks! 👍
Looks a good but cold day out with the pike,
Love the fact you go on your bike simple , minimal stuff, shows you don’t need lots of stuff just what you need and off you can go.
I go on My Bike to, You don't much to catch big.
You were fishing in a prohibited spot judging by the traffic cone....! Lol. Great vid.
I swear these videos make my Sunday coffees taste better. CHEERS TGF!!!! 🍻
Brilliant footage.
Pukka vid again mate u always deliver so cracking fish mate well done, love fishing forgotten ponds, streams etc as u have proven thers some special fish that can be caught keep the vids coming mate love the channel 😎🎣🎣🎣🤘👍
Great I love fishing in these places. I've found from experience that in small ponds like this, you end up with one or two very large pike, then they are either starve or die of old age, then the pond will sit empty for a while, then the whole cycle starts all over again, usually a seven-year cycle.
Great video again! 👍
Great video. And love the rig. 🐳👍👏👏
Wow! Learned a lot from this vid.
That first pike had stunning colours and markings.
Like always chris. You always smash it. From a stream to pond brilliant. You could fish in my kitchen sink and would pull a pike out lol. Fair play ging.
Inspirational as usual. Might get my pike gear out at the weekend.
Good fishing bro. Some nice pike in that we pond. Great show. Peace out from Ireland 🤙🇮🇪
I've subscribed for a while now great content online the pike fishing vids more than anything and the goldfish one was cool
Another great video!!
Brilliant channel, keep up the good work mate
I'm starting to believe you could rock up to a puddle and pull a fish out. I wish it was as easy as you make it look 😂😂
Great video :) pls keep it going Ginger !
Lovely looking pike in there
Think you should try for the Bait fish in these ponds Chris. Maybe when the weather gets better!! .ust be decent Roach etc kicking about!
Love a forgotten pond me great video mate 💪🎣
Great video brother
Its been so long since i fished i thought cold captain birdseye had a white beard .keep posting your vids chris well done yet again
Awesome am very impresed.
Doesn't look like a forgotten pond to me. It looks like the fishery owner has done a lot of work on those trees. You're very lucky to be able to fish such productive waters, round here they would all be controlled by syndicates or exclusive clubs.
yeah i agree but he does spend a lot of time reviewing the spots nearby that are not controlled by anyone. but i toatally agree withn you all the pike ponds near me are all controlled and i want to catch pike but im not allowed to :(
@@lewisgan1197 All waters belong to the riparian land owner and at the very least you have to get their permission to fish them. Thanks for replying.
The trees were removed by the national grid as they were affecting the power lines 👍
@@The_ginger_fisherman thanks for telling me.
Defo not a forgotten pond. To well looked after
Nice fishing 🎣 mate 👍
Good to see that jack keeping left of the cone. Safety awareness.
You didn't have to take off the single hook before twitching, just turn the baitfish around. Single hook in the mouth and treble in the back and you're done. Awesome video once again!
Good job.🤜🤛
First mate would love to see you fish in london tight lines
Used to hold good pike 20!yrs ago those little ponds and carp
Boooooom Chris like Always \m/
Just love what you do Chris. Thank you. My only comment.... was that last pike only 5lb? Looked alot more than that!
You know most people here in the US calls northern pike slime rockets and they don’t like catching them unless they’re trophy size 10+ lbs. Me on the other hand, always loved catching pike and always took one back to camp to eat, no trophies, but big enough to eat. Again, here people don’t like eating them, too many pin bones, but I was taught how to eat fish carefully. I love your vids and I love the UK style of fishing for them. May your line always be tight and your poles bent.
I always put mine back but had an instance back in the 1980's where I was fishing a local stream and the Pike rarely go above 5lb - I caught an absolute donkey at 11lb but because I was using a small bait it had wolfed it down before my normal 10 count to strike. I damaged the fish removing the hooks so decided it was more humane to put it out of it's misery, whacked it a couple of times with my bankstick and put it in a bag behind my tackle box. When I got home, I presented it to my Dad (I was a teenager then) and said 'here is dinner for tonight'. Being somebody who grew up in the 30's, my father knew how to gut a fish so started to wash it down in the kitchen sink (We had one of those old square deep porcelain ones). 'It's still alive, it's eye just moved' he said to me. 'No chance' I laughed. As he continued to wash it, the water revived it some more and the Pike lunged - I had never seen my father move so fast, he was back across the kitchen so fast Usain Bolt wouldn't have caught him! Quickly despatched for the second time, we ate well that night - As you say, Pike are very boney but if you take care the taste more than makes up for it
@@cliffdixon6422 LOL, great story.
Wish we had some forgotten ponds with pike in by us (walsall) the park lakes and canals by us just don't have hardly any of the pike in they used to
I lovey your movies
Don't look so forgotten now !!! someone has been doing some serious swim clearing ,
Great video as always, do u ever fish for zander? We don't get them up in Scotland
Busta jerk used to drive them wild 🎣💥
What would be worth trying is fishing for the smaller fish to find out what other species live there and what exactly they are feeding on. Roach and Rudd for example. Even just going to basics with maggots on a float
It would be interesting to find out what the pike are feeding on. Perhaps a match rig to see what is there?
Mostly very small roach and Rudd I believe. While out in the tube I did see large shoals of fish all a few inches. Might have to give it a go with the waggler in summer to se exactly what's in there
Liked video 5 seconds in.. fuckin love it 🎣
Been watching all your videos for a while now! Finally started lure fishing recently and love it
Any tips for trying to target big perch??
Notice that the trees have been cut back ? Could this now be getting tidied up? For better access to the ponds ?Love the channel ❤️
Whoever done it has made a right mess of it and left it all in the water🤯
@@catalickconverta6823 Thats good for the fish though. dead wood in water gives food and cover
@@FelixFiske its not good for the fish when it all rots it just fills the pond with gasses and makes black slop that smells like rotten eggs and gives something for that nasty green pond weed to hold onto and suspend itself in thick clumps oxygen killer
@@FelixFiske agreed, more accessible spots but the fish still feel comfortable with cover etc… but would be nice if it remains a hidden gem for a few anglers rather than many
@@catalickconverta6823 Yea if theres too much and the lake has problems with algae blooms more nutrition is probably pretty bad. Where I live that is usually not a big problem and it's pretty common to dump pine trees in the water to help predatory fish like perch.
I read an article that suggested that the massive storm we had here in Sweden in 2005 that caused massive amount of trees to fall down in to lakes and rivers may have significantly increased fish production for a few years after that
I never use double trebles. One hook at the back and a double mid way.
Chris, as a Piker i have always thought you do not hook the deabaits on the head ( unless wobbling that is ) to avoid any potential deep hooking if picked up turned and swallowed head first, but your 1st cast with the Joey was head hooked and still in the scissors so that theory is clearly BS. Lol
👍
How do u find all these forgotten ponds
Chris do you leave the bail arm closed when deadbaiting?
I always thought the spool should be free to allow fish to pick up and move with the bait without feeling resistance?
Let me say I love the video. You walking through the brush and finding tiny spots of water is very impressive. That said mate, you have to set the hook. You are also using an enormous bait. Try just using half that fish or even the head. It's much easier to set a hook when you have a smaller bait. Pike don't care if the meat looks like a fish or not. As long as it smells like something they like, they will eat it. Can't tell you how many pike I've caught on a fish head. You are also using something that looks like a carp pole. Downsize to something you can manage and has some flex.
Please don't let these criticisms get you down. You have the love and drive for the sport. You keep it up and I'll keep watching.
Looks like the forgotten pond has been remembered by someone as I noticed some bankside management going on. Probably be a day ticket soon .
did you move away from circle hooks ;)?
How do you get your float to stay buoyant when ever I pike fish I like to use a running float
Use live gold fish for pike
Spoke extremely fast about the set up I think (I have had a few beers) but I still understood what you said. Do you use anything to weigh a dead down? I’ve found some of mine tend to raise or surface after a while?
And I’d wager the forgotten lake pikes are probably feeding on species that thrive without the human interruptions, like frogs/toads/birds and even rodents
I'm with you mate. What the hell are they eating or are they eating each other?
Azerbaijan hello şuka👍👍
How do the fish get into these ponds
Who has cut the trees behind you in the first swim ? This shows the pond is not abandoned !
National grid
Interesting fishing..reading a book called ..The LightningThread....by David Profumo..
I like this guy it seems that he has not a lot of competition there!
After one season i gave up on the net. It is only good when fishing from the rocks.
One other good reason I won't use a net is that it damages the tail-fin of the fish!
Looks like someone is cutting the trees. Do u know who may own the lake.
I love reading these comments on here & others vids... there's always a armchair commentator who knows better then everyone . I bet they're real wa n ers in real life
I'm not sure why some comments are suggesting it's really a fishery and not wild. I wouldn't be happy paying for a day ticket and turning up at that peg and swim??
Chris, good bit of fishing and filming.
Some nice fish from a water that looks like it has a lot of future potential.
Couldn't help but notice though, although whoever has done all the work felling and cutting back has dropped quite a considerable amount of it into the water ???
Will they at a later date do some swim/ lake edge tidy up ???.
Likely left the drop as cover for the fish.
Use live gol fish for pike
Whose been cutting the trees
You should fish with worms there see What other fish
Is this pond in Northampton? Looks very similar i used to fishing.
it's in Yorkshire somewhere. Most of the pike in Northamptonshire have been taken for food over the past few years.
@@SteeeveO it’s the same in the midlands, Eastern Europeans have eaten then all
@@lesbaty8919 as soon as the logistics warehouses sprang up, the HMO's appeared in every street, the EU's appeared & the pike were always going to be in trouble......
How common it is to find barbecues by the canal or river, & several empty cans of Tyskie.
Where bouts in Northampton do you fish bro I'm from Northamptonshire fished all around there all my life till few years back wen I moved away
@@n1ch0l5 i have moved 4 years ago aswell. But before that Sixfields there is 2 lakes good for pikes. Or billing aquadrom river nene.
Was it a forgotten pond?
Do you think a population of pike in a pond like that could be self sustaining? Pike surviving by eating small pike and no other bait fish at all?
Yes there are plenty of such places in my country, although perch only is more common. A biologist here wrote of a small lake with only pike that had very low levels of oxygen so only the upper level of the water column had enough oxygen for fish to survive. The result was loads of tiny pike no longer than perhaps 10 to 20cm but they still managed to survive. If I remember correctly they lived of insects and fish fry like small trout
You was born unlucky been ginger but my word your not unlucky when it comes to fishing lol
Odd dead bait hookup. It looks a bit irish
What is you favorite recipe for pike ?
hope that's a joke.
@@SteeeveO Could be from across the pond or mainland europe.
Poached in milk with parsley, lemon and other herbs. Think that's it, the missus does it.
@@ollyjackson8733 Poaching Pike is illegal, no ? ....
@@SteeeveO pike is delicious, firm white flesh, you can use same recipes you use for cod.
YO
what knots do you use on your heavy rigs fpr the braid to rig thnks
Sorry mate, no fun in the way you fish , especially for pike. If you set the hook ! Game over ! Far more fun going with a light rig. Talkin old school , always used 10 maybe 12lb line using a lure or a dead bait on a single hook. Snapped up numerous times, but made it so much more enjoyable when landing a decent fish. Give em a chance. 👍🏻
Why would you want to risk a snap and leaving hooks in a fish and line all over the place? That's noddy fishing.
Definitely better to potentially kill a fish just so you can have a bit more fun and hsow off for catching on lighter gear 🤡
Hi Chris…I love your videos, but this time I’m worried about the spot you fished in (lots of branches and tangles). If you get snagged and lose the pike, it will be stuck with hooks and line in it’s mouth and maybe die or get hurt. So imho I’m not so happy seeing this. Sorry.
He's got heavy braid on it won't tangle the hooks will bend out before he loses the hooks in the fish
Enjoy the videos but please, please lose the "music". It really detracts from the content in my view. Just have the background noise, that way the audience are really there with you. Just my view, hope the feedback is welcome.
Chris, you are a legend of an angler, but for god's sake put some wellies on, you know you're going to get cold wet feet in trainers. Please don't start looking like Alan Blair in designer pumps...... heaven forbid. Keep up the mega vids.
