John demonstrates how to target pike on slow-moving rivers and we learn about how to set up for river piking on the float, the tackle to use and how to hook baits correctly to maximize hook-ups and minimise the chance of deep-hooking.
John passes on advice on pike location and fish welfare and enjoys some great action with fighting-fit running water predators into double figures in another informative, enjoyable show from Fishing TV.
Part of the popular Total Coarse Fishing series, ‘River Piking with John Watson’ is split into three parts and is free to view HERE on FishingMagic, on mobile and on Samsung Smart TV and blu-ray players in Issue 14 of Coarse and Match Fishing.
