I Can't Believe I Caught This Fish From a Canal!

  • Well todays session took place on a very wet and stormy Autumn day. The plan of action was to hit the canal and use jerkbaits to target the bigger perch that live there! Unfortunately the river was in flood, so if I wanted some wild perch my hands were tied. The x-rap was the bait of choice and with the long pulls and pauses managed to get me some great action landing loads of fish including one really surprising catch! Hope you enjoy!

    I've caught trout on maggot feeder on my local canal, the Aire & Calder, at Woodlesford in West Yorkshire. The canal connects with the River Aire at some points, so there are river fish in the canal, including some sizeable chub.

    @daverichards6557 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to say I’m really enjoying the latest crop of perch videos. Very skilfully shot and edited. I’m not too keen on live baiting to be honest, just a personal thing. But each to their own. But your crank bait and lure fishing is truly inspiring to watch. Unfortunately living where I do there are not that many canal systems. That’s why it’s so nice to watch you have at it! Hopefully you keep entertaining us all with the great stuff you are producing. Tight lines.

    Probably the most passionate angler i've seen on youtube. I used to fish the runs off streams from 3 dams called Greasborough dam in Rotherham area alot as a kid. yeah the big dams hold some big fish but you get alot more bites more frequently from rivers and streams it keeps things exciting. I've had some lovely fish and some times after the rains some wash over the water fall into the deeper parts of the stream i've had 20lb carp tench barbel perch bream you name it. And you can travel light too.

    Another superb watch mate, love the slow mo action and fish takes. Just a question, i know the Euro guys are obsessed with only reporting the length of Preds especially Perch, but i always thought us Brits go with weight? Dont get me wrong i measure the length of a 20lb pike after weighing it but for me the length of a pred is never a gauge for weight.

  • @Flow_State1991

    Cracking!
    What do you think about clipping off one of the hooks on trebles? I've got into trouble before getting trebles out, when they get so stuck into more than one point... It seems to help, don't know if it leads to fewer hookups.

  • @gordonburns8731

    It's probably 25 years ago since I last went angling, and things have changed greatly. I used to mix my own ground bait for carp... mostly bread crumb with added fennel seed... those carp and tench love the aniseed!
    I have two favourite anglers... you for fresh water and John of The Fish Locker for sea fishing.

    @Lunatix246 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    10 years or so ago, I was spinning on my local canal and was absolutely hauling trout out of it. I've fished it for most of my life and never seen anything like it. Every time the spinner went in, it was pursued by 2 or 3 of them. They were very silver with all black spots and around 4-6ish inches long. My girlfriend that was with me said they looked like sea trout or young salmon. The canal does lead to a salmon/sea trout river, so maybe a load of them got a bit lost o_O Never seen it before nor since.

    cool video! in America people can catch big ole “bull reds” aka redfish aka red drum from canals along the gulf coast or “third coast” because they survive in brackish or freshsaltwater mixed up. And there’s certainly tons of manmade shipping canals for the energy industry and other industries especially where I am at along the Texas coast, interspersed amongst the river deltas and estuaries and such. People also catch gars of all types because they survive in both salt and fresh waters or brackish waters.

    I caught a really tasty trout at the Basingstoke canal some many moons past. Very trouty country, and I wondered if it may have hitched a ride on a heron when it was fry.
