Do big Fish REALLY eat Bats? (Attempting the Impossible...) 🎣

Fishing using a CRAZY Bat lure... Can I catch one of the BIG fish that live in these lakes? I also put some of my best lures to work across two different trips, one in autumn and one in Winter. Through every swim I cast the bat first to see if anything would take it, and if there's no bites, I followed up with my normal lures. Let's see how we get on! I also take a look at my new Westin Advent calendar, and have a go with the lures inside.

Way way too cold for bats buddy. Warm summers evening as it's heading towards dusk will see them out and about hunting insects. That's when the pike are most likely to encounter the real thing and think of them as a food source. I accidentally caught a bat while fishing for trout, it took my fly during my back cast.

Yeah I started the video in October the weather was still warm but you’re right, I’d be much better off if summer! I’ll have to give it another go. Thanks for watching!

Great vid mate, I thought about getting a Westin advent calendar, but couldn't justify the price 😅😅

Thanks mate! Yeah they aren't cheap, in terms of value though you get far more than the price of the calendar!

oh cool you bought the Westin calendar. I considered to buy it too, but I already have the ones from Zeck and Kanalgratis. So it will be the next year eventually. enjoy yours and open the doors day by day, not all at once 👋 cheers 👌🎣

Im gutted, i was ready for some winter pike and perch fishing but unfortunately i fell down my steps and im in hospital in Glasgow with a broken back. Im completely gutted because I'll never walk again. Ive set a goal to hopefully get fishing next spring timeand maybe join a disabled fishing club. Until then i look forward to watching you and the ginger fisherman and all the other predator hunter's

Don’t let yourself down bro, I’ve been fishing for years with a mate of mine , we became friends in the hospital after he had a tragic accident and lost one of his legs , since he is way to heavy to walk on cruches he is only wheelchair mobile, We always go trout fishing togheter. So keep fighting you will for sure be on the water side soon enough 💪🏽🙏🏽

@stephenbarlow2493 7 ай бұрын

This is an naturalist/ecologist's view. I'm sure a Pike would take a bat in the water, if one got the chance. Occasionally, bats collide with things and end up on the ground. Some, like Daubenton's Bat, specialise in catching insects, just above the water. However, I'd have thought that it's only occasionally a bat ends up in the water. However, as all this is taking part after dark, most incidents would remain unseen, and so no one will really know how regular it is. I'd have thought it more likely in countries with bigger numbers of bats. The more there are, the more likely ones will make occasional mistakes. Although as most of these mistakes would be in the dark, it'd also make it more unlikely a predator, which relies on light, like a Pike, would encounter one. Although I do know Pike feed after dark. Several times I've caught them on maggots at night, in a heavily baited spot.

@adventurefishinguk 7 ай бұрын

Some very good points! Yeah pike are good at hunting in the dark, especially sensing movement and vibrations. If a bat fell in the water and was struggling to get out, I don't imagine a big pike would have any trouble at all taking it!

@docsmellyfella 7 ай бұрын

I would guess that the bat lure may be more effective in the twilight in summer when bats are normally taking insects from over the water. I must say that I have never seen a bat end up in the water.

I think you're right about that! I've never seen it too but it must have happened!

A pike must have had a go at a bat at some point. Hopefully you can get one on it. Would probably be more aggressive before spawing and go after top water more. Ive never tried to catch one with a bat yet...

yeah it must have happened, i'm sure come summer time it will be a lot easier! Snakes are my favourite topwater lures though by far!
