  • Pike are an extremely misunderstood fish both in Scotland and the rest of the uk and fishing for them comes with certain responsibility. In this video I go through these responsibilities as best I can. everyone has a different method and in this video I explain mine. If you have any added pieces of advice then please feel free to leave a comment as this video was made to provide as in-depth a guide as possible at a time when pike fishing is more popular than ever.

    Really good video, with all the important information needed for the welfare of the pike and to help people understand what’s required.
    Definitely having good indication is key, and striking immediately so as they aren’t deep hooked 👍🐊🎣

    I would only add that it's considered good sportsmanship to use semi barbed treble hooks (only one of the hooks on the treble has a barb for securing into the bait) which eases hook release and further reduce damage/harm to the fish.
    Thanks for another good video.
    Keep up the good work 👌👍

    great stuff mate, this is a must watch for first timers and seasoned pro's, trout do more damage in terms of eating their own young than pike and perch together

    Nice video and a good initiative. Personally I believe there wont be a future for trebles and barbed hooks. Not here in the Netherlands in any case. As anling is up for discussion on a wide scale among those who oppose.

    de barb or use barbless hooks...this is advice from a fly angler who does pike flyfishing.

    Use barbless singles,better to lose 10 fish than kill one.

    Sorry, but I was cringing watching the unhooking. 'A quick tug, and the hooks will come easily' you say. You sped the video up in places because it took so long. One time you were hung up in the landing net. Your main problem is trebles hooks. Singles would come out easier and the video would look far better. It's also better to unhook a pike with it laying on it's side. Holding it up will only induce the pike to thrash about more as shown. And no one in their right mind would hold a trace in their mouth to keep it taught when there's a possibility of the pike having a thrash about. Sorry, but it didn't look easy for newcomers to the sport at all.

      Firstly thank you for you for your comment. When I sped up the clip that’s is correct as yes it did take a while to find the correct angle but once I did they came out easily which was my point. Rather take your time than yank hooks out causing damage and by having the fish in the water you give yourself more time. As a beginner I think keeping the fish in the water it is far safer as if you do drop the fish or it wriggles free then it won’t be damaged. It is also far less likely to get caught up in the net despite what you say as long as you have a deep landing net. If you listened to the video you would here that I say that holding the trace in your mouth is a last resort if you are on your own. Do you suggest leaving hooks in the fish instead? Because that is the only way of pulling the hooks out of the fishes stomach in the worst case scenario.

      Hi, pike fishing has to be the most difficult of all angling, and we all have different ideas on how best to deal with the catch. I'd never leave hooks in. As I use singles, if it happens to gut hook, it really is a piece of p*ss to get them out. Any type of unhooking, scissors, wherever. When alone, you can use tension of your rod and line. Lay the rod parallel with the pike in front of you with the reel in reach. Use 2 tent/brollie or banksticks, one behind the reel where it meets the rod, another on the opposite side near the butt end. This should hold the rod in place. Tighten line with reel, then slide pike backwards on the mat to get the desired tension. Using a mat makes life a lot easier. With care you can lift a gill cover as it lays there and get to the hook/s with forceps through the gaps in the gills. It's like doing surgery, but I've found that it's the best way. Holding a pike up by the gills
      is not good practice anyway, yet everyone does it because they think it's what you do with pike. If you do have to do it your way, I'd suggest looping an elastic band around the trace real tight and hold that in your mouth if you want to keep your teeth in one piece. We know these pike can flick their head in a flash. Better safe than sorry. Still at the end of the day, we're all trying to help each other for the best of the pike. Good luck with your piking ... and ... try at least one rod on singles. You may be surprised. Tight lines.
