Easy question, has anyone ever caught a Pike in Wraysbury 1 South, if so on what lure and from what peg, this is causing me some difficulty,
I got so cheesed off with different lures. I started on the dead baits It worked well for tiers1 & 2. Tier 3 after my 4th hourly Attempt I've caught 1 11lb pike and that's it. 1st peg to the right of the house and jetty
Nice one Wolfie. Saw your post and went on the lake and had my first pike on Wraysbury. Any tips for catching the roach.?
Not at the moment I'm concentrating on pike and carp. If I find a method for the roach I gladly share that info. Tight lines
For the pike: Sunset, cloudy 40lb versa braid Size 2 dark matter (silt) Roach deadbaits (I mix it up between 6inch and heads over the 3 rods) I’ve caught most of my pike over 15lb from the same location... middle peg in the swim with the digger / tractor thing in the water. Cast all 3 rods at the digger about 37-40 yards and keep recasting every 10-15 mins if no bites. If you see a showing fish, bring a rod in and cast at it. I’m at 11/15 on tier 3 using this method. Roach: Size 12 legering with small sweet corn
very nice tip, thanks buddy had three pike in that spot out of three casts, i used all three whole dead baits and all worked, very nice.
I need 2 for the mastery challenge and it has to be on a lure for perfect strike? So anyhoo I walk right out (top left peg), toss in the booty shaker and hit a pike on the first try. (Cloudy, morning). However! I have tried for hours to do it again to no avail. #&$&=>=!!
Do you have any tips for barbel in grand union? You seem very knowledgeable and I am having the devil of a time
On the grand union they were a long time coming, but if I remember, it's been a long time. I used a carp set up size 6 hook with 15mm tiger nuts and 30lb line, but you will also have to contend with the carp The barbel at night on Waldsee, that is 1 challenge that I have given up on its impossible. Sorry I can't be anymore help
So wolfie, how do you catch a barbel at Waldsee at any time? Lago Del Mundo is the only place I seem to be successful.
Hi Demeralda, I have caught 1 at night on large sweetcorn, but that was a few months ago and I have been searching for a sure fire method ever since and nothing. So sorry I can't be any more help. Good luck and tight lines
Hi Demerelda I have caught both boss barbel in Grand Union ( Jack once and Jill 3 times ) Jill - night/ dynamic on size 12 braided hook link baited with bread (twice) and 18 ml activate on size 4 dark matter rig Jack - morning/ light clouds ( I think) on a CR1 fluro pop up size 4 dark matter rig Good luck!
Everybody still looking for the nonexistent Waldsee Barbel? This is the only one I've ever seen, and I didn't catch it. Let's catch this fish, or raise hell with DTG until someone does!
I pretty much followed this guide for the pike only difference was instead of re-casting I would just reel in 10-15 yards, had 2 alarms buzzing whilst fighting another. Best catch was 22lb on 6” smelt. Glad I found this as I was convinced there were no pike in this water.
Bread, best bait and they are often buy the bridge they you can walk over, i have had both jack and Jill both on bred
