Having colour in the water is better for fishing? If its gin clear, they are more likely to see everything, especially when the sun is shining on your line in the water.

Not everyone is blessed with a canal , I live In a area were the nearest canal is 100+ miles away , I'm sitting here itching for the season to start as all I have is rivers to fish 😂

Great video as usual! Keep doing what you doing, nice to see your channel growing, there is obvious reason it's probably one of the best if not the best fishing content channel in UK. Regards from Bedford!

I love the respect you give the fish chris 👍👏👏👏

Haha, that sort of race with the boat was hilarious and kept the tension up 😂 Also loved the drone reconing and drone footage, very entertaining nice work keep it up man :)

What a fantastic stretch of canal. Quality and variety of fish. Another excellent video

Racing against time and narrow boats there Chris. A very enjoyable video

You have truly one of the best fishing channels! Not the super duper record fishing but "just" having a good time in the nature in a very careful way. Based on your recommedation I have bought myself an Abu Garcia Carabus Nano (CNA 612 ULS MGS version - its the best UL fishing rod for trout and perch in small creeks I ever have owned. Thanks!) 🤘🤘

Keep it up, loving the content!

Awesome fishing bro! 🔥 Canals are still quite tough! But we keep on grinding! 🎣🤘

Just found your channel through my brother. Been watching alot of your content. Awesome content and will continue now to be an avid viewer. All the best mate 👍🤗👍

G'day Chris, you did well loved the Bream and Perch . All the best form down under mate 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely love your videos buddy, you've helped me on my journey back into fishing, I think I need it mentally lately. My new rod just turned up, now I have to wait for all the other bits itching to get out!!

Great video, fun to watch and great to what you can catch with this tiny lure. Thanks!

Superb video , well done Chris

Great video; it looked like a lot of fun. My canal’s a bit grubby and there’s a lot of boat traffic. As Phil said, a video with a few tips on fishing these kind of waters would be much appreciated.

I've had other BPM baits kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

Great video as always! We are too obsessed with PBs, so how about an anti pb challenge! See what the smallest of each species is that you can catch!

Awesome as ever, cheers Chris.

Ive got both the solid tip and tubular tip versions of the Abu Garcia Carabus nano rods and love them both . The amount of bend you get from the smallest of perch is amazing !!! Its like having a monster on the end of your line every time . The fun is endless . I use 0.12mm to 0.14mm fluorocarbon mainline on mine max . 2.5lb - 3.5lb braid even better with a fluorocarbon leader . With rods like these its amazing how light you can go with a loose drag and the size of fish you can bring in . Love mine and would never part with them .

Another lovely video Chris,you do have some beautiful places to fish.

Time, the fish themselves and a boat!! Epic vid lad.

Cracking video! 🙂 Have blanked the last 3 sessions so its nice to see some fish!

Awesome fishing challenge man, loved it👀, canal boats are so nice looking too👍! Your attitude and the vibe are the best, keep on doing what you are doing, eventually you will end up being one of the most watched fishing bloggers, I'm sure 💯! Got new sub here from Kazakhstan, I also do fishing an filming here locally! Will be learning from you on how to do it properly😉😁🤝💪👍👋

Great video and ideas...love your videos pal

Excellent footage, thanks for sharing.

Even tho 120k subs is awesome I can’t can’t for the life of me understand how you ain’t hit the million the fishing and camera work is amazing …… favourite fishing channel by far …….

Another great video Chris thanks for sharing 😅

Top Video Chris!!

The rod you are using is unique mate! As a fisherman from Eastern Europe I have the cheaper version the Carabus Delicate but I recently broke its tip 😢 Sadly its really pricey but the feeling when a fish is touching the lure is irreplaceable. I guess I will try gathering cash for the Nano one day also. Good luck and keep it up with the cool videos

Well done mate, a great effort.

Spot on again pal as usual.

Epic as always mate ❤

I'm spending an afternoon catching up on all your videos Chris very entertaining M8 👍🎣

Sehr coole Idee, ein Köder für so viele Fische wie es geht. Hat Spaß gemacht zuzuschauen, danke dafür! Grüße aus dem Münsterland in Germany 👋

"I'll see how long before the Mrs calls,say about 6 hours"..... 6 hours shes a keeper mate!😂😂

Lots of fun 😊

Cracking vid mate.

Great camera work Chris 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed that mate. Will be getting a light jig species match on the go with my pals on our canal Jun 16th

I like this kind of fishing, I mean, light lures and canals/small rivers. Take care!

Great vid! Although I came here expecting a video about lures but got one about lores instead!! 😜

Great video. I'll give it a try when I go to Ireland again.

Good job. Great to see you catch non predatory species on a lure.I was hoping you'd catch a Carp,like they do in Australia. Targeting Carp on lures would be a good challenge.

Brilliant video as usual Chris! What hooks are you using please bud?

Love the videos and passion, thank you for the content. People catch barbel on flies would love to see you catch one on a lure when season opens

Great video. many, many decades ago when I took up fly fishing _(I even caught a 6lb Bluebottle once! 🤣☺😅)_ to practice my casting, I used to go to the bottom of my parents garden and fish the warwickshire avon. Dace were really, really fast on a dry fly. You almost had to use intuition when striking. i.e. You'd strike before you saw them take it. If not, they'd be on and off before you knew what happened. Chub and Perch on lures or a large dry fly like a daddy long legs was fun and for Bream, I used to go to the sunken line with a fresh water shrimp pattern slowly along the bottom.

Well Done Chris ,You were given me kittens riding that bike look like you were gonna end up in the canal kind regards Mr D

i like your videos they teach me alot😁

It is funny. I almost only fish for carp and big pike now in Germany, when fishing throughout my life in the UK and here I have caught carp of all sizes on small pike dead baits like dead roach etc when pike fishing and I have caught pike on colourful pop ups when fishing for carp!! It is not often but funny when it happens. I must admit now I am growing older (as we all sadly do) I am starting to want to get out and go back to old ways which started my passion for fishing, roach, tench, perch, eels, bream and so on and roaming long water stretches and canals etc rather than chasing monster carp and pike all of the time, these videos sure confirm that its a change I will make soon, I miss these times

Amazing video ❤❤❤

Very entertaining .

Hello from france , great video 👏👍

Great video as always pal 👍 A video that I would find helpful would be on the do's and dont's of canal & river fishing, where you can & can't fish and what you need to do so, ie providing you have a rod licence can you fish any canals and river stretches that aren't club owned, do you need any ticket, do you fish on a club ticket? Etc.. It can get a little confusing and I'd like to know what you can and can't do in these regards! Ta. Keep up the great vids

Tbh mate i just fish and if its members only play dumb and move off. the problem is the uk isnt designed for lure fishing as you will walk through 4 different club owned bits of canal in one session so youd need to buy 20 quids worth of day tickets lol.

Nice one 🍻

Great video

Nice vid dude

Great session chris..please let me know what sun glasses you have may give me an edge when needed. Cheers.....

Nice video thanks for sharing.

Another weird homemade bait challenge, be wicked to see you go for zander on lures also

Im loving your vids. They've inspired me to get off the big welsh lakes and come back to basics. Im on the Llangollen Canal again and fishing a semi ultra light setup. Question, do you tie your lures straight to your braid or use a leader?

@matimus100

Жыл бұрын

You love easy

Nice selection of fish. You always worry me wobbling along on your bike filming. Have ever ended up in the canal?

Now the shrooms and the frog make sense lol

The drone footage of the chub was just amazing, great video. Coming from a sea fishing background and doing a bit of lrf where braid is king, what are the benefits of using the 4lb fluoro as a mainline please?

@pvegod1484

Жыл бұрын

you dont have to tie on a flouro leader everytime you fish like you do with braid. ive swapped to flouro main on light setups and its a massive time saver

Last river season I had Barbel, chub, perch and pike on one lure\one day.

I like challenge videos u should do more mate💪🎣

Very nice video. What you used for wheight on the hook ?

We have Creek Chubs here in Kentucky. Not near as big, but they're a really oily fish and they make great Catfish bait.

Battle against the boat , race against time.. deploy the drone... Interesting challenge demo.... lovely colours on all those fish... Good bream juggling...but what about the mighty elephants of the canal savannah??on that rod ..on any rod...

At the first part, i thought,,,, i think i know where that is. Then as you went past Aida i knew where you were. Lol. Sailed it last year in my boat.

You certainly have a gift with the fish. I'm beginning to think peoples body odour either attracts or repels the fish who can smell it on your tackle after you've been handling it. Just a theory I have. Thoughts anyone?!

If thats true then i definitely repel them, i might have to start using rubber gloves. And if its true Chris could make a fortune selling bottled sweat xD

Chris after that vid the next obvious challenge is a tench on a lure 😁

That is fine squeeze good!

Awesome video Chris i was really rooting for you to get the tench. Would be cool to see if you could catch carp on a lure, I've caught them on ESP Zig Bugs before but never on a moving lure

Nice video! Cheers…..

Lovin the toad and shrooms ink 😉

Ciao seguo sempre i tuoi video con interesse.Posso chiederti che modello di canna carabus usi e che sezione filo o tracciato usi nel mulinello? Ti ringrazio anticipatamente..

how did u get the hook out of the rudd mouth? fishing more now but still find deeper hooks intimidating

I appreciate that coloured water is sometimes better,but I’ve literally never seen a fish in my local canal ever,it’s like fishing in pea soup all year boats or No boats,it was clear years ago but it’s been filled with sewage and agricultural waste.luckily there is some decent ponds and lakes nearby,but I do miss being able to fish the canal

@gingerfisherman I think you should do as many species on the fly. Get a weight and length of rod that will cover it all. Even pike!! Be a great video. Fly and tippet can change.

Awesome stuff dude, why not give multispecies fly fishing a go? Might have to head up myself soon to fish it with flies

Here's a challenge for you. Try the same thing on our stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool. Sadly it's nothing like wherever that beautiful stretch is. Beers are on me if you can catch the same number of species as you did here 😊

Try out small white grub we use in Ireland catch all here with them con from Ireland.😊

Love it M8👍

i have literally just got back from a canel session doing the same thing i had nothing lol

Hello Ginger Fisherman! Ive been wanting to get back into fishing (mainly fly fishing) and i was just wondering, can you explain the rules about fishing rivers and streams in the country side? I am aware of requiring a fishing license but Gov rules sometimes confuse me

Awesome as ever Chris very enjoyable thank you👍✌️💯

I didn't know tungsten putty was a thing, but now I need it!

I'm in need of a decent net magnet! Where did you get yours Chris

So let me get this right: Even though the rod says 0.8-3.5lb line, that doesn't really matter and we can go with 4-6lb and that is okay. Would a micro braid be as good or dare I say a better option for small lures on a ultralight setup? I was thinking of wading some small streams nearby as this looks like awesome fun. Trouble is hard to know where to look for the best info on kit.

I like how I have been fishing at this one pond for like a year(it's one of only two spots I can fish near me) and have only caught two pike and blue gill! While you on the other hand in one day catch 4 or more species!

what glasses do you use to spot them fish?

Great vid 👍How much does it cost me and my son to fish the canals?

Most of our fish species get a bit more piscivorous in spring, a small dead minnow, freelined, was a favourite of mine on our local river

Kinda challenge. Grow your own 20 lol haven't seen that pike on ya vids in a good while. Do you still feed it? Another cracking vid pal hope the nipper is doing OK 👍
