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.
