Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the watch!!! She had some interesting identifying spots if you look closely. That would be awesome to catch her.

Well, according to the regulations you were illegally fishing. You are only allowed one treble hook or up to three individual hooks. Reacquaint yourself with the rule book please.

Second thing, is your bait looked very unnatural in that clear of water. I've seen lots of fish who swam away from a stiff minnow. Pike haven't got to the apex being gullible. Good luck with your adventures

You're wrong. Maybe you should not be a **** head and read the regs yourself. "Hook" as defined on p.15 says a single, double, or triple.

P.20 says it is unlawful to:
"Use a line in angling equipped with more than three hooks (e.g.,
three hooks, or three single-hook lures, or one three-hook lure).
Use a lure in angling with more than three hooks as part of it.
Use a hook with more than three points on a common shaft (see
Important Definitions, Page 15)."

Can have up to 3 trebles on the same line. It says up to 3 "hooks" (remember the definition from P.15) on the same line or lure.

Reacquaint yourself with the rule book please.

And those illegalities are what I'm talking about. In the video there are two three pronged hooks on the lure(bait).

Just the big ones

Ya, you're allowed up to three of those on the lure as I explained above. Read it again, slowly.

Looks to me like classic line shy behaviour. Fish taking a close look. Seemed more interested on the bottom when hooks and line may be less noticeable.



Try wirebite or 30 lb fluoro?

There's a point in the vid where the pike releases as it has felt part of the exposed treble,, I no longer use trebles but a larger single. Regardless, I find that when I bait my herring with the hook more in the hill cheek I get more hook ups. I also don't do the double hook method as I loop the line going back at the belly and a loop again at the tail, this way it presents as a foraging fish and an easy target. Some larger pike hit the bait, release and second hit,, but, the love of the pike fishing is; just when you think your dialed in to their habits, something changes on the next outing. I've also come to the conclusion that if the herring has a flap torn exposing gut there is more likely chance of a big gulp. Tattered and torn.



Really nice leader material you can get from Michael's in the bead section,, I find it nice and supple during ice time.



Pike deserve more respect. When I see someone pick them up by the eyes,, hoh boy, or kick them into the water, or wretch the hook from them like they're working a barbed wire fence,,, they maybe stealthy alpha predators, bit they should be handled no different than the girly fish so sought after in the bow.
