  • Well this ended up being a rollercoaster ride of sessions. Started off with a laid back stalking approach. Just casting to any decent fish that showed like chub and rudd etc then quickly escalated into a canal carp hunt. It took a lot of leg work and over the course of a few weeks i managed to locate a couple of big fish. It was great getting them smashing bread on the surface. Even though i managed to get one of the big ones it was a shame i never got the chance to hold it up to the camera. Don't worry I'll be back. Next time with the big fish gear and i'll but some of these big wild canal carp on the bank!

    Sorry but that was funny as hell, we've all lost fish at the net but it's funny when it's not you. Great channel, very watchable. Glad you're doing what you love and making it work for you.

      Never during a landing, or after it was in the net. And who's got that "brilliant" idea of nets with barely ant dept.? Absurd tool...

      @paula-bm3oq ปีที่แล้ว

      my only issue with this fisherman is that he uses barbed hooks .We al know the damage that type of hook does on the way out and you need very little skill reeling them in .

    So they weren't coming up for floating bread anymore..... ahhh, but the slow sinking bread after being enticed with slingshot bait, and BAM! And then you lost him and netted him again, and lost him again, and I thought you were going for a swim. WoW! I just happened to find you today, and I've enjoyed several of your videos immensely! We get some big Carp here in the States too, and I've enticed a few Hogs using the egg sucking leech on the fly...... not something that Fly Fisherman brag about, but still a heck of a strong fighting fish! Thanks and Blessings!

    • @tommybee6370
      @tommybee6370 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve seen mirror carp on this stretch between the car park and the first lock. Around half a dozen grouped on the surface in the sun. Saw that area where the first chub was caught too, was planning on having a go there myself. Great vid.

    • @liamormerod6257
      @liamormerod6257 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure you get yourself a 42" landing net. I would recommend the sonik xtractor recon landing net as its pack down size is only 30" perfect for on the move fishing 👍.

    Yes. Them choice of words are standard procedure for moments like that. I'm a river angler trough and trough barbel are an awesome fight but hooking in to a good specimen river carp makes me hold my breath for pretty much the whole fight. They say its a peaceful past time but the anxiety during the fight is crazy 😀 good footage pal 😀👌👍

    I did this on the ouse as a 14 year old boy with a perch of about 4lb getting on for 30 years ago , can remember it like it was yesterday .... I have never come close to catching a perch nearly as big but have never stopped trying. Great channel mate 👍

    • @thejudge-kv2jk
      @thejudge-kv2jk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      4lb is a serious fish - especially on a river. My pb is 3lb 11oz from a still water and hoping to get a 4 this winter/spring. Good luck buddy. Still water your best bet.

    At least you got it on video 😧
    I hooked into a sturgeon while walleye fishing with an ultra light rig on a 1/8th oz jig and minnow and 5 lbs line. Fought it for 1/2 hr, got it next to the boat, close to 6 feet and probably 70 lbs. Went to grab my camera and the line snapped !
    Fishing is an addiction and all that comes with that.

  • @troggmeister
    @troggmeister 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Used to fish that length when i was in my early teens . Noticable that you can clearly see the bottom of the canal which you couldnt in my day !. A result of not being dredged for years i suppose .

  • @jedfra9172
    @jedfra9172 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am not an expert angler especially when it comes to fresh water in the UK, but for me that was a fish landed and if you think it was your personal best then in my eyes it was your personal best.
    The perseverance and ultimately the skill you showed in teasing her out of the snags was top class.
    A brilliantly honest video Ginger.
    There are so many fishing channels on youtube and initially it was your lure fishing in UK waters that got me watching yours.
    I spent my youth freshwater fishing in North Louisiana, most of it for predatory fish with lures. When I returned to the UK and up until recently, I considered that freshwater fishing over here was all about sitting on a peg or lining up along the canal.
    I now live on the coast in Wales and I love tossing lures out for sea bass, pollock etc but you, and a few other fishing channels have made me consider what I missed out on when I lived in the midlands.
    Thankyou.

    some of the best fishermen across the Pond (Bill Dance, Roland Martin, etc) they all say
    with the exception of tournaments if you touch the fish it counts lol... so yes, you
    caught it... we'll never know exactly how much it weighed but it was a beast.
    there are some fishing ponds here in North Carolina where they stock carp and have
    monthly contests.... they have carp upwards of 50lbs, no joke. can you imagine....
    good fish right there...

He's been to England and Spain looking for fish, dragging his young boys with him... good content.... anyway, you'll get your golden whale ;) ... I'd love to see you hit that overgrown pond with your belly boat again! That was SERIOUSLY exciting!
    Just a thought, instead of peddling miles up and down the canals, why not do a collab with one of the narrow boat channels? Sort of a there and back again spotting these chungus carp.... keep up the great work, cheers!

    Some thoughts on your bike: I fish the canals alot for all sorts like yourself. I use a rack with ortlieb classic panniers, which are waterproof and give me 40l of storage. No need for a bag on my back and I can comfortably take 2 rods with kit, bait and waterproofs etc. Covering 8 miles is no problem. Might treat myself to one of those electric bikes next - now that would be the ultimate roving set up!

Thank you for all the advise. Good luck on your future fishing adventures.👍🤞
