THIS is why you use GOOGLE MAPS when Fishing! (I couldn’t believe it…) 😯

- I caught something VERY unexpected while fishing a muddy wild river I found on google maps. This is why I ALWAYS use google maps while fishing, it can help you catch some amazing fish! The best part is you never know what's going to happen, whether you're pike fishing, chub fishing, perch fishing, trout fishing etc, the next surprise is always right around the corner!
So how did I find this location? In some cases when I use google maps I look far and wide, finding a place that looks good then researching ownership and club information. This time though, I took a different approach. I'm a member of loads of fishing clubs, some have big lists of rivers I've never been to, and in some cases, never even heard of. I decided to trawl through loads of these waters, look on google maps and see if I could find a place that looked perfect. And I did!

You were asking for dog walker stories: I fished a stretch of a local river a few years ago. I’d been there around 10 minutes, when a dog walker came past and asked if I’d caught anything yet. I just said ‘no, I’ve only just got here’, and he walked off. About 45 minutes later, he walks towards me, presumably going from whence he came, and he asked me again if I’d caught anything. Once again, I said no, to which he replied, I’m not surprised, this river hasn’t been the same since someone poisoned it! Why the hell,he didn’t tell me some 45 minutes just beggar’s belief.
Hahaha that made me laugh! Perhaps someone had poisoned it in the 45 minutes he was gone 😂
Did you catch anything in the end?
I've found a few little beaches and coves down here that have been pretty good as well in my time, just looking at Google Maps and seeing where there's some access, amazing tool for fishermen really. Keep up the good work mate! Tight lines to ya
Thanks for watching mate! yeah google maps is a priceless resource for finding new fishing spots 👍
Pleasure to watch. Thanks buddy❤
Thanks for watching mate!
Nothing better than finding new fishing waters that are beautiful like that! Awesome video !
Couldn't agree more mate thanks for watching!
When I saw the sewage being pumped into the river I was hurting, and then the consented discharge notice added salt to the wound!
Enjoyed that, George. Not had a sea trout since I fished the Wyre in 1986. Rooting for you on the YPC, marra! Keep going, lad!
That's quite some time! Thanks for watching 👍
Tall tale.
Got told a local small lake had a 30lb pike,
Only for the lake to be netted by the club to reveal the biggest was about 6lb
Haha yeah I do love a tall tale!
@@adventurefishinguk well done on a good start in the ypc
@@gymbruh1824 thanks for checking it out!
Haha, didn’t know you were a member George. Great result in those conditions, summer lure fishing for chub on that stretch is great fun.
I am! I've been told it's good, i'll have to head back when it's warmer
allcock pikelex modelled on the old french voblex lures, a killer for pike, as is there version of the "blair" spoon and there version of the toby the "lurgan" spoon, great vid as always mate
Thanks for watching!
Nice one George,I do the same with google maps...the only problem is that it is hard to find info about some places,not all angling clubs are online 🙄 I have found some belting places over the years tho,you have fished some of them haha 👍🏻I remember once catching a pike and being asked by a foreigner how much to buy,I quickly released the fish and said sorry mate these fish are not for the table 🙄
yeah it can be tricky but the rewards are definitely there if you look hard enough! If you know of any other cool spots i'm all ears 👍 And thanks for slipping that fish back, i've heard people can get quite aggressive towards anglers on the bank so a good thing you acted quickly
Smashing vid mate, lovely sea trout, seen plenty of those jumping whist been sea fishing this summer.😊
Thanks mate! You should try and catch a few 👍
For a second i thought he was in Ardnamuruchan also would be cool if he tried some more mystery boxes
I'd love to visit there one day. I'll have a think and see if i can do a mystery box one soon
Well in George. Beautiful fish! I've never caught a sea trout but it looks like they put up a nice scrap!🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks mate! yeah they don't come around too often but they definitely give a good fight for their size 👍
General rule of thumb, which is a bit counter intuitive. Sunny/bright conditions use bright flashy lures. On dull/days or very cloudy water use dark lures. Don't ask me why but it works!
An interesting approach, thanks for the tip!
Nice1 George pal 👍🏼 that was a fat pike & funnily enough the last fish I caught of the season was a sea trout around the same size as yours it’s been easily 15/20 years since I last caught any 🤷🏼♂️
✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼
Thanks mate, had a good belly on it that's for sure! I've noticed this year has been quite good for the sea trout, promising for the future!
@@adventurefishinguk Thanks for the reply 👍🏼😁 I’ve not been out since trout season finished end of September but I’m hoping to get out & try winter fishing for pike & perch but it’s only our lochs or reservoirs that hold them we have the Union canal which starts in the city centre up here in Edinburgh but it has been decimated as far as pike are concerned not that I ever caught of heard of anything other than Jack pike 🤷🏼♂️ there’s still a good perch population but nothing big my pb is around half a pound & tbh I sort of cheated the sun was going down around 6pm mid summer & it was shining right on the water so I could see right to the bottom maybe 6/8ft I had been catching them all day but this time I saw a massive shoal so I stuck half a huge lob worm & basically dunked it in among the shoal & within 10 seconds a big fattie took my worm 😁 looking at the shoal it was among the biggest there so that was my pb 😂 I’ve caught plenty using Mepps & Rapala
There is another canal that runs to Glasgow from Falkirk but I’m not sure it’s the same canal but I’ve heard there’s decent sized pike & perch to be had I’m actually going to contact my little cousin he does all sorts of fishing & I know he has plenty of bigger rods & reels than my one & only 5ft 6 UL spinning rod & 8ft fly rod which btw id love to try fly fishing for pike it’s meant to be great sport 👍🏼 anyways I’d like to try with him as he also has transport 😉 & if I like it I would ask for a new rod & reel for Christmas along with some accessories I had just treated myself in the summer 😁 I had to borrow from my old man though as I couldn’t afford to spend what I spent in one go 🤷🏼♂️ the Mrs wouldn’t have been too happy 😆
I got new proper chest waders & new wading boots to go with them I had a pair of Shakespeare neoprene waders with the wellies attached & while they served me well for 5 years they were just unbearable in the summer & not very comfortable wellies 🤦🏼♂️ but for £80 they did me proud & I caught plenty Wild Browns & managed to retrieve many lures & spinner’s from wayward casts or snagged in structure under water I would have lost most of them without the waders & as you know Mepps Rapala Salmo & yo zuri are not cheap 🤷🏼♂️ my new waders are great & the boots are so comfy they actually look just like rubber soled hiking boots 🥾 they don’t look like your typical wading boots the difference is amazing & now I’ve turned 49 it was getting quite hard on the body being out before sun up until sundown most days I also uses a Shakespeare waist pack which is perfect for spinning while wading as everything I need is right there in one of the many pockets no need to keep taking my rucksack off to get whatever tackle I needed to switch to 👌🏼 anyways with the money remaining I had enough to buy a Shakespeare Sigma 8ft 4W rod & reel combo which I’ve used on about 6/7 sessions but yet to land 🤷🏼♂️ had a few near misses I panicked & didn’t know what to do so lost a few but I’ll get there I bought the same set up about 5 years ago but soon gave up after blanking half a dozen times then sold the combo 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but now my wee Brother has got right into fly fishing he won’t come out with me if I’m spinning he says it’s cheating lol 🤷🏼♂️ I need him for wheels or it’s public transport for me 😕 so I’m going to keep fly fishing but I certainly won’t be giving up spinning for wild browns salmon & sea trout 😁
My God that was a rant n a half sorry bout that once I start it’s hard to stop 🤷🏼♂️😆
You take it easy pal stay safe & Tight lines keep up the great vids you do a great job & i look forward to seeing your knew vlogs 👌🏼
✌🏼💙🎣🏴🙏🏼👍🏼
Unlike down in England Scotland doesn’t have any rivers that hold pike well none I’ve heard off 🤷🏼♂️ which is a pain 😕 I’ve seen many rivers that have pike perch chubb barbel trout grayling & others 🤷🏼♂️ I’d love nothing more than to have rivers up here that held all the species I mentioned in or near Edinburgh but. 🤷🏼♂️ I could move down mind & just become a fishing nomad 😁 what a great life that would be 💙🎣👍🏼🏴
MP Tim Farron is working really hard fighting against raw sewage discharge into rivers and lakes and holding the CEO's and share holders of water companies responsible. The dividends these people reap while not dealing properly with waste literally makes my eyes water. That aside, I really love sea trout and good luck with the predator cup!
" Consented discharge " Grrrrrrrr...
River I fish has sewage in it. I think all rivers in England do now. Overpopulation for the infrastructure in place.
Not built for this many people,intended for native population growth only.
When I was a kid my dad used to take us to Caton for days out and you would see fish jumping up stream,sadly it is very rare to see them now 😢
seatrout?
It's good to hear someone in the government is working on it!
Fishing just off to the side of the ferry pier at Mull one summer, a passerby told me to be careful because the bay was full of basking sharks at that time of year, and that he had once hooked into one that had swum off, stripping his reel down to the bones and almost pulled him in. I said that I would watch out for them and made a face and certain gesture as he walked away. About 20 minutes later, I hooked a basking shark that stripped my reel down to the backing and almost pulled me in. Theyre a bloody menace.
Haha how on earth did you manage to hook a basking shark? I thought they were filter feeders
It's not uncommon to foul hook one, or for it to suck your lure in as it passes. I've foul hooked a dolphin, a few seals and something that I couldnt see, but I'm going to assume was a minky whale at Neist Point on Skye.@@adventurefishinguk
Thank you, always enjoy your channel
Thank you I appreciate that!
Best one I ever heard was for a lad I met a few years ago, he saw a lad catch a massive pike and when the put him on the bank a rat ran out of his mouth after a few minutes 🤣🤣🤣all I could do was walk away. Great job in the ypc on tonight's episode
Haha well pike definitely eat rats but i'd love to see that happening! Thanks for checking out the YPC!
Hi George, loving the channel! My son and I have been blanking a lot on the Lancaster canal recently, do you have any good tips for winter lure fishing?
Thanks mate! Use bigger paddle tail lures and retrieve them slowly 👍
Go there in the summer, and you will catch a chub in almost every cast. There's no many sea trout, but I've caught myself a few , and unfortunately every year is less brownies. Great stretch BTW. Good job with that rare pike, George!!!
I'll make sure I head back! Are there not too many pike in there?
@AdventureFishingUK no my friend. 90 % chub, few trout, dace, perch...
Absolutely beautiful 👍that fish made the miserable weather worth 🙃
It certainly did, thanks for watching!
man ure such positive person, i admire you
I appreciate that thank you!
Excellent fish 🐟, that lure looked like a "catch the fisherman not the fish " type of lure but it really worked, I imagine they'll work for saltwater aswell especially going for Pollack they love a nice red lure. Good look with the tournament I hope to see some footage.
Weirdest story I 🐝 was told about a trout that jumped for a dragon fly hovering by the river and it landed on the bank dragon fly still alive too, the guy said it was a big brown trout, I actually can believe it cuz I've had them jump out the water chasing lures right to the bank and trying to launch at the last second as the lure departs the water so true or not its possible.
Thank you! Yeah it's definitely possible for a trout to jump and land out of the water. they definitely eat dragonflies too!
@@adventurefishinguk I bet you've heard some mad tales
Hi, I absolutley love your videos. I have just ordered the Rig 180 as a starter into adventure fishing, but now I am wondering whether I should got the X5 Adventure. Any thoughts on the best one for me for fishing on adventure days out etc. As a bit of background to my fishing experience, I'm relatively new to fishing in general having just got a set of Coarse fishing gear also.
Hi mate, the Fish Rig 180 is great for ultralight fishing whether it be perch, trout, LRF etc. The X5 is a little heavier and it can be used to fish for bigger species like pike etc. Really depends what you want it for!
@@adventurefishinguk thanks for the reply. I’ll stick with the Rig 180 for now and maybe get the other one down the line if my children ever into it. Thanks
When learning how to fly-fish I used a green in front of the house to practice my casting. When people used to pass by they'd quip you're not going to catch much there! so I replied "well you're the fifth" 😂
Haha that's a classic!
I used to do that down my local park, I used a hula hoop to simulate a rise ring and practiced casting into it.
I'd either use some short lengths of wool as a "fly" (same weight roughly), or just put a small piece of cork on the end of the hook... Sharp hooks, public spaces and people/children/dogs don't mix well!
How do you tell if you can legally fish these rivers and streams you find on google earth, or do you just wing it and see if anyone objects.?
It varies place by place mate! i explained how i found this one in the description of the video 👍
The bait you used looked like a voblex or another version of it.
Yeah it definitely looks like it!
Me and my boy are out perch, fishing and a dog walk. Come up to ask if we had much I said no just started have you seen much about I asked him he said he saw a man catch a 25pound pike with 15 Lures in its mouth…….. I give him a funny look and said okay
Haha that's definitely a stretch isn't it!
All the angling club waters for miles around my area say no spinning.is the regulations differ where you fish ?
It varies from place to place really, there's a lot of fly only water but also a lot of water is more relaxed
Raw sewage discharges are a national disgrace, about time we held these water companies to account.
Couldn't agree more!
So if you use google maps to fish venues it must cost you a lot in permits
Sometimes it does yeah, sometimes free fishing though too!
Could you please recommend me a fishing rod and reel to catch pike on canals?
Rigged and Ready predator travel rod with their RR3000. You can get 10% off with code AFUK10 it's absolutely perfect
An old guy swore blind that a lake that floods with water from the tidal part of the river neath has perch/sea bass hybrids. Silverbacks he called them. Said they weren’t Zander either 🤷🏼
That's very interesting! Now you mention it, zander do look like a cross between a perch and a bass
silverbacks? i bet he told you that they only take bannana yellow lures too 😂😂
@@adventurefishingukZander are also known as Pike Perch. They're extremely aggressive, even going so far as biting anglers through their waders if they're stood in a river.
They ARE classed as invasive non-native and DEFRA have made it illegal to return them once caught. Which is a good thing as they not only decimate small native species such as bleak, dace and gudgeon, but also taste bl00dy good! I was in Berlin recently and it was on the menu! So I had to try it (never eaten it before), OMG was it gooood.! It has a very meaty and flaky flesh like cod or pollock, but the flavour of sea bass! Please, if you catch one.... DO NOT return it to the water. It's reported that in some areas of the UK Gudgeon stocks may well never return to what they were, prior to Zander's illegal introduction.
Hi , is that a free stretch you have found or Day ticket ?
A members stretch mate, check the description where i talk about how i found it 👍
@@adventurefishinguk thanks , I hadn’t even thought to look !
No day ticket for this stretch.
Get yourself to Angelzarke at Chorley
What's the fishing like in there?
@@adventurefishinguk Good for pike perch and course, some clonking fish in there get yourself down make a wee video ;p
An angler on my local canal was telling me about the Piranha he lost 😂
Haha now that would be cool if true!
@AdventureFishingUK also mildly terrifying as well 🤣
Boo 🎉😂❤
Thanks for watching!
Dog walker once said to me while I was fishing my local canal "few years ago we had a load of sea bass in here"
Now I do live close to the sea, but sea bass in a fresh water canal is just too much of a stretch to be believed
I caught hundreds of sea bass in my local river in Porto,Portugal during my childhood. You would catch them all the way to the first dam. I was fishing about 5-10km from the sea.👍🏻
I've heard of bass being caught quite far up rivers, no idea how they would manage to find their way into a canal though!
@AdventureFishingUK it would be very unrealistic to find sea bass in a canal as it's only fresh water. You can find them in tidal rivers up to the point where the river is still mixed with saltwater! That's why I mention I could catch them up to the first dam in the river👍🏻
do you ask permission to fish
In the description i talk about how i found the spot!
It likes like you're on farmers land. Do you have his consent to fish? The problem with using google maps the way you are is most of the places aren’t piblic land.
I explain how I found this place in the description of the video, no rules were broken!
