How To Catch UK Canal ZANDER - Deadbaits
Welcome back to another video!
With the pike spawning, I have been spending more time locating zander on my local canal. Today I'm going to show you how easy it can be to catch canal zander! These fish are becoming more elusive with the introduction of electrofishing so I recommend that everyone should try to catch zander while they have the chance!

Zander love sea baits mate 💯
Great video, ive just joined a club that has zander in some of its waters. Im more of a lure fisherman myself but famcy trying some deadbaiting, what rods are you using? I don't want to use a 3lb TC carp rod for deabaiting and kill the fight.

Hey, thank you! Yeah I would definitely recommend a bit of deadbaiting! These are 2.75 carp rods here not ideal, if you have something around the 2lb mark that should be alot better!
Like you said it gets electro fished a lot, which really messes with my head and confidence down there, i was told its being electro fished again in January, and the last thing i want to do is pay a day ticket to a club that wants to get rid of the fish i want to catch, lovely 1st fish, and i have hD lots of Zander on smelt chunks

There's definitely plenty of Zander in that stretch not loads but some nice ones! I've also been told that when they electro fish a stretch they put the big ones back in to eat the small ones! That's interesting I'll have to give the smelt a go! I've always been advised against sea baits for Zander and I've never really done much on them 👍
Good job 👌💪🤩 Greetings From Poland ✋👊

hi Dan thanks for another quality upload and sharing does this set up work on more coloured water i guess they still smell the bait my narrowboat is on the grand union canal and its much more coloured than where you are cheers buddy tight lines.

Hey mate! Yes it will 100% work, the more colored the water the better for Zander they'll have no problem finding any baits, you'll find you'll struggle a lot more when the water is clear especially in the day time when it's bright 👍

You’re rigs and tactics are great. However sea baits do work, zander love a smelt either a whole one or cut in half, my preference is whole as I’m after larger ones and it stays on the hook well, with this I’ll use double size 6 or 8 trebles. Mackerel is also a great zander bait, I like fishing a whole tail on double trebles or small 1.5 inch sections on single hooks. My pb of 9lb 2oz was on a smelt, my mates pb of 6lb 7oz came on a mackerel tail

This is a load of BS 😂sea baits are awful for Zander; smelt is the best of bunch but they are nowhere near as effective as coarse baits, they will take them on occasion but there’s never a reason to not just use a superior coarse bait

Hey mate, so I know they've electro fished this stretch a few times since I filmed this, but I also know people still catch here they never come close to getting time all so it's always worth trying 🤞
Roach is my goto bait, but have caught a fair share on Smelt and know people have caught on sardines as well

I've done little to no fishing over your way sorry I can't be more help, what I will say though is as much as I love lure fishing I catch so many more Zander on deadbaits they just seem to love them! If there's Zander in the area you'll get a them on deadbaits 👍 I have had a quick Google and Whilton Locks seems to be a good starting area by you hope this helps 👍

The Zander also isn't native to the Netherlands but it represents an great economic value. It's a popular fish to eat and one of the most popular sporting fish overhere. It also does not really have an negative influence on the eco system. In some of the lakes it's disappearing because of he water quality getting to good. Zander don't like sunlight and some of the lakes are getting to clear. Pike on the other hand are booming on those lakes. But I rather catch Zander!
