Hi Thom, fantastic content as usual. I loved the “indoor football in a power cut analogy”, it makes it very relatable and helps getting in the mindset of fish. I took your advise on a few hrs session this morning, just 4” visibility and ice floating in patches on the furnace. I made a plan at home and made myself stick to it by leaving all my soft plastics at home, and just taking one flambeau box of metals, spinners, vibe baits, ice jigs and nays blade baits. I focused on weighting to get it as low in the water while still maintaining enough speed to get vibration. I had 3 jacks to 62 cm in 90 mins, which I was pretty happy about due to conditions. Thanks for all your advise, here’s a real life example of how your efforts to share really help others. 👍🏻
Brilliant! So glad you put it to use and got some results 👌👌👌 Well done, and thanks for letting me know I enjoy it when people have learned from my vids 👍🏻
Another good/useful/teaching video. Thanks . A little to how to add noise into plastic lure. You can push into it plastic rattle stick. Hard to find them but there are useful.
Great informative vlog Thom, I have been on a really coloured canal a few times in the last week and struggled to get hits from perch, so thankyou for these tips as I'm going out again this evening and wanted a tips vid for coloured water from a top lure angler. So thanks buddy. Hope you have a great weekend and Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family, tight lines 🎣
Hi Thom, getting my way through your videos now and very much learning a lot. In your explanation between tactics for fishing in summer and winter you talk about summer tactics but then don't explain how to fish in the winter. I am going for pike in murky coloured canals right now, temperatre anywhere form 4-8 degrees. Thanks!
If the visibility is less than 6” deffo use a bait that has rattles and vibrations like a good paddle tail or creature bait. And fish slow. For colour black or Chartruese green. A very good trick when it’s cold is do 2 consecutive casts on each line. Eg cast towards the left, then next cast down exactly same line to the left. A lot of bites will be on the second cast. (First one wakes them up!)
Amazing info in there Thom 👍 everything you said is so methodical and really shows us the mindset of a pike and why they would hit a lure and how best to increase your chances in different conditions.
Thanks Danny 👍🏻 Glad you enjoyed it and learned a few things! Keep me updated on how you get on 👍🏻 And sharing the videos you really like really helps the channel 💪
Perfect timing, on furlough tomorrow and my river is a muddy mess. I was thinking about trying something unconventional and carolina rigging a chatterbait.... let you know how that works out!..... great video , again I love the methodical way you present the information
Great stuff Thom, ive been fishing 2 or 3 casts in the same spot when it's coloured and when it's cold, definitely gives them time if they want it or not 👍🎣
Excellent video and very informative, thanks for that! Plenty in there for me to try next time I'm out. I'm not sure you've done a vid on this yet, but a corresponding one covering clear water conditions, lure choices, presentation and colour, would be interesting, as a companion to this vid.
Great piece of advice 👌 Thanks Mate 👍 I immediately subscribe to your channel! All the best for you and your channel. Stay healthy! Regards from Germany, Dominik
Thanks for the positive comment Dominik I appreciate it and glad you like the Channel. Please share your favourite videos on other platforms like FB as it really helps 🙏
Hi Thom, love the detail you go into, would be great if you filmed whilst fishing a competition chatting a little about tactics and when and why decide to change tactics, liking the content anyways 👍
Great stuff always love the videos, keep up the good work 👍. What would be good is a video on river water craft, stuff like perhaps why you could suspect somewhere might have a deep hole and the reasons behind it and just general understanding of rivers and potential seasonal holding spots, hopefully you like my video idea, id very much look forward to watching it. Cheers either way, keep grabbing those trophies.
@@Thomhuntfishing how can i find you on Instagram, your water are very similar as mine so i wanted to ask you for some tips and exchange some experiences😄?
Thanks for the tips. I spotted a mosquito in the background 😊. I am curious about your thoughts on it as I own the casting version of the LMAB la mostique rod.
What about lure scents & gels for coloured water Thom, such as Atlas-Mikes etc? I've never used them myself, however I often wonder if they would give me an advantage in coloured water when using soft plastics?
Fantastic tips mate, last year i desided to try some competition fishing but due to work and pandemic i had to abandon it, any tips on where to start when it comes to comp fishing?
Try to start on venues you know well. For example if you fish canals a lot, entering a competition on a reservoir is then very difficult. Do lots of preparation. Practice as much as you can in the weeks before the event and find out which is the best method, colour lure and location etc. Then also ask God for some luck 🙏👌😉
My best lure colour for fishing coloured water is white with a red head but wondering if it would be beneficial to use an indelible marker to put a black line down the back of the lure so getting a better contrast. Do you "add" colours to lures Thom or just use them as they come out of the packet?
I have experimented in the past but to be honest Westin have such an excellent colour selection within their lures (plus every year bring out ‘special editions’) that I don’t mess with them much any more. Having said that, I like your idea and that’s one of the great things about lures that you can play around and adjust them so if you think of an idea.... do it! Every time you try something new you will learn something 👍🏻
@@Thomhuntfishing Many thanks for that Thom. I'll do some experimenting and see if it makes a difference. Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. 👍
Lots of precious advices...so happy that I discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing 😉

Hi Mark, yep my aim is to get on the bank and do something like that, just need some edit skills!

Yep leave it with me I have about 4 other videos to make from other requests first but I will put it on the list 👍🏻
Thanks for the tips bud🤙
Anytime 👍🏻 To be honest I enjoy making them as it gets me to think in depth about the answer. 👌

I’m on Instagram @iamthomhunt_fishing 👍🏻
Thanks for the tips.

Got sent them recently, haven’t managed to try them yet but will be stocking them at www.PredatorTackle.co.uk

Paddle tails are the way to go. Pig shad, Westin teez and peto. I've caught my canal pb on a pig shad.
Agree! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Far too much detail, you lost me I’m afraid.
