ANY ONE TRIED SNARING PIKE OR SALMON

[gogogadget 1]

what would be the point in snaring a pike,not very tasty apparently. i know someone that used to do it with salmon until they got caught by the bailiff,got fined few hundred smackers! got to be carefull and be able to run like hell!!

we used to wire small trout for pike fishing bait many years ago , could easily have netted them , but it was more fun,

an old boy in our village is a dab hand at it , he used to do it in daylight aswell on a local stream for trout and grayling, he always calls it a sling and its made from a single strand of rabbit snare wire on the end of a stick , he always walked about with a thumb stick and a wire in his pocket just incase he saw a fish laid

iv heard pike aint that bad and if you take a fillet from a 5/6 pounder and bone it its supposed to be good im gonna give it a go when i get out with the rod againe . as for the snaring my dad used to tell me about them going out along the eden and a boy he knew ses watch this pulled back some weed and ses when your ready tug the rod so he did and nailed a big salmon the boy snared it he ses . my grandad used to do it to my dad ses we went into my grandads one afternoon (mums dads) and there was a salmon on the table with its head hanging of one end and its tail of the other was a big dining table he ses i said why is there a dead parrot on the table i was about 3/4 and that was how he had gotn that fish also . no idea how to do it tho must take a bit skill stalking up on a fish and getting under to get it snared without it spooking .

the best set up for salmon is length of fence wire that wont spook the fish . now for the snare by far the best electric fence wire . connect the two then slip the snare over the tail and pull forward and up then run back and the job is done . thats what i was told not that i would ever think of doing it

I have heard a lot of people say they can snare fish or roosting pheasants but I have never seen it done myself!! A bit like trout tickling . . .

 

As for eating pike - a clean, lean 8lb fish is really good eating, the only drawback is the profusion of tiny bones which puts me right off. :sick:

Tried for months to snare roosting pheasant,gave it up as a bad job and knocked them down with a rimmie or moderated .410 in the end,no more faffing around!

With you there JD .We had a go one night with a roach pole and wire but the damn pheasants kept ducking and diving and eventually flew off .Very disapointing . .
