Little story about the Thumbnail for this video. I did actually catch a pike from inside that pipe during the video, but when it came to transferring the files that clip as well as about 5 others corrupted and I lost the footage. After I caught the pike I decided this would be the thumbnail and was the only thumbnail I took this session. So even though the footage wasn't in the video we're stuck with this thumbnail. Tantalizing story 😂. So how'd you like the video?
@@brandsthatcreatelitter1648 realistically how much plastic bait is left in the water or banking as apposed to all the other shite floating about or dumped on the banking. Fisherman really don't want to lose lures but seems people don't give a crap about throwing that bottle away
@@brandsthatcreatelitter1648 I've just looked at your channel and do commend your mission, fisherman/outdoorsman aren't your enemy, they want to protect these fishing haunts. Just because someone goes fishing leaves there rubbish and crap doesn't make them a fisherman, it just so happens their an idiot who happened to go fishing. I believe in your mission so subscribed
Got to say, its so good seeing a TH-cam angler doing well thats not fixated on carp! There’s so many just hauling known fish out of over stocked lakes, its great to see some actual angling skill, water craft and verity on display in your videos. Keep it up mate 👍🏻
Good session Chris. Shows how knowledgeable you are at reading the areas to fish. Glad that you stopped the bike in time otherwise I guess the base over apex video would have given us all a laugh.!
Congratulations on a great reward for fishing in Sub-Zero conditions. Admire your courage. Don't get much of those conditions here. That redfin perch looked spectacular. Great job, mate. MP
I found in flood on the ribble the chub were around minnow sholes we used to get the minnows going on maggot then use a big bunch on the hook for the chub which threw up minnows n maggots ,, great video will have a go with some lures for them. 👍
Have you consider laminating a 50cm marking on to your net handle? Means you would always be able to measure the fish if you wanted to and seeing you use the net to land decent sized perch, it would always be immediately to hand. Thanks for the stream of awesome videos. Takes me back to my childhood fishing these little streams, cuts and rivers.
You can also just use anthropometric data, which is what ancient measurements systems were based on. i.e Cubit the length between elbow and fingertip approx 18" (460mm).
@@The_ginger_fisherman You can also mark your rods with tape strips or permanent marker. I marked my rods every 10cm, the rest is guessing, and who cares about millimeters anyway?!^^
What a great session! I miss catching Perch and Chub where I am living now! My first fish as a kid was a Perch.... Have always enjoyed catching Perch... That last one you had was a clonker! Great channel!
Hats of for leaving your nearly, you've been framed entry on the bike in,excellent session as usual bud,your catching success is unrivalled on TH-cam, may your excellent channel continue to grow ginge lol
Just a bit of advice and cool way to fish all year round, In the rapid like area where you caught the perch at 7:30 In the video, I grab a small 5 or 6cm micro crankbait, I mainly use the rapala bx minnow or smaller, flick it out at the top of the rapids and let it flow down and let the fast water make the action for you, just don’t let the lure got too far and you’ll catch chub, perch and pike
After watching ur video I took the same lure and went straight to the canal in midnight. Got a perch within 10 mins. Great lure for winter. Appreciate that.
I was fully expecting you to get into the pike. Shocked to see chub and perch hitting that tube bait so aggressively. Finally you got a pike. Best wishes for 2023.
Just found your channel mate,great stuff,i have a rainy day off work so im binge watching your great vids,I got no freshwater fishing here just salt,and i need a licience for that !,Keep up good work you lucky bugger.
Tubes are a fantastic classic bait here in the states! One of my stanby's. Not flashy, but very effective. Put part of an Alka-Seltzer in it and hop it on the bottom is popular.
It is not surprise for me 🙂 winter jigging for chub is a classic. One of my favourite ways of fishing when the weather is cold and they have stopped to chase all the other types of lures
Favourite moment 4:02 with your excitement at the first chub and landing it. For an angler that catches a load of really impressive fish Chris I really enjoy how you retain that “big kid” feeling when hooking and landing fish. I’m guessing these “stupid” soft baits also have an aroma/taste? I’ve used some similar for perch here in the Netherlands and they have a salty crayfish scent - meant to be great for perch but I’m a little bit behind your catch rate I must admit! Tight lines
Tube bait is commonly use in North West Canada, especially those mini one that pair with 1- 3g jig. It is extremely effective, and all fish like it. You shell give a try.
Just ordered some tubes from your link, i hope it was an affiliate link! 👍 thanks agaon chris, great videos, youve really got me out of carp fishign and into small couple hours river sessions for perch and chub, still yet to find the pike! Seem to be hard to find on the river calder where i fish. Would love to know what rivers/canals you fish, they look very productive and so clear in the summer!
G'day Chris, good luck to you fishing in the frezzing cold brrrrrr. Awesme fishing video as always , your feet must be like ice blocks in them trainers . All the best form down under mate 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant little bait and a great video with some stunning fish just a suggestion why don't you mark your landing net handle every 5cm so you can measure your fish without carrying any extra tackle
Evening my good sir! I’m not sure if you’re aware but Justin Hawkins just responded to one of your comments on his most recent video about Alter Bridge. I saw it as a good opportunity to plug your channel 😂 Peace and love x
Nice fish mate. Prob shouldnt have put the last one back thou, he obviously warned the other perch ! We've been doing well with the 3D rat, last few weeks on the he cut 👍
Must over 30 years when I last used them, they were all the rage for a short time, might have been a shopping channel thing, I had a nice box full of the heads and the soft jellies, no idea where it went, probably used them and never saw them in the tackle shop.
Excellent video, I got loads of plastics etc a couple of years back but due to I’ll health and house move not had chance to use them, after watching this I need to get on the bank asap 👍
Another cracking video, wish I had a local river as prolific as that one, its full of fish, is that the same venue that you catch Barbel as well Chris?
Hey. Nice episode. I've been watching you for so long that I already recognize your places. Do you ever catch the same fish twice? Greetings from Poland :)
If I'm targeting pike in 90% of situations I use a wire trace unless I'm throwing really big baits then I use 80-100lb fluorocarbon. If I'm targeting perch with soft plastics I almost always just use fluorocarbon usually between 8 and 15lb depending on the conditions
Great day out in such cold weather, interesting to catch a variety of species, very enjoyable to watch. The new book ' River Pike in Northern England' is good on flooded conditions, have you seen it?
Been watching your vids for a while now and i really enjoy them but i keep getting the same question popping up in my head and that is, how do you go on getting all the permissions to fish all of these different locations or do you only fish known free waters? Keep up the good work.
I’ve seen quite a few of your baits and techniques before from playing some fishing computer games, it seems like you use a similar style to bass fishing in the USA
Tube jigs are deadly multi-species baits here in Ontario , especially through the ice. A proper jig head imparts the best action and garners the strongest bite since the shank of the hook runs within the jig so the fish feel nothing but a big juicy chew.
Yes buddy especially this time of the year almost all my perch fishing is just dragging the bait across the bottom. They're really not moving much this time of year.
How do you handle perch without gloves? They get me every time, whether it’s the fins, gill cover or even their skin. Also, they swallow the hook so far down, I often can’t see it.
never seen anyone using gloves for perch. just be careful. can also thumb them in the mouth, but make sure to support the belly with your other hand when taking a photo
@@riggertoni6624 I think it’s a case of grasping the nettle but I’ve never mastered it. I’ve unhooked countless pike, worked with acid and even broken up fighting dogs but handling perch is not my favourite pastime 😕
Smaller perch I usually hold from above palm holding the spines down and fingers and thumb over the gill plates so they can’t flair and prick you. I try to hold them as lightly as I can get away with and they don’t seem to fuss as much
I know how you feel man, I've been sliced open savagely by the gills before, always wonder how this guy is so chill! I do as Andrew N above says, try and clamp their gills down softly with thumb/forefinger, but absolutely hate it every time
Do you have any friends who sea fish? Because if you do get them to bring you a few dead whiting for the pike I tried these a few weeks ago and wow 👌 it's a game changer

Winter chub fishing is pretty cool! Nice video mate, cheers!
Your videos are very nice and it's so fun to see how happy you get when your fish is on the hook
This time of year every fish is a blessing 😂
Great days fishing the Perch was huge 🐟
Cracking session Chris! 🔥
Great footage - It's summer here, so really fun to see what it's like to be in a cold climate :)
Well done Chris another very good video, I will have to try that sort of fishing one day, Thank you,

I think the name of the bait would also describe the fisherman in my case when I'm fishing in -6 temperatures 🤣. Another great video.
You really need to buy some good winter boots...it looks like you are going to play tennis!
Gj, nice video!
Dunno about use but I appreciate the little talk b4 u start fishing nobody usually tells good info about tackle and what to use
Tube bait is commonly use in North West Canada, especially those mini one that pair with 1- 3g jig. It is extremely effective, and all fish like it. You shell give a try.
👍hello fellow Canadian from the mid west
Рыжий красавец 👍😀
I live in north central US and cracking tubes for river smallmouth is a way of life. Such an overlooked technique, but it always produces fish!
Thank you for sharing another great video bet you're feet was freezing in them shoes
Bloody were😂
@@The_ginger_fisherman but well worth it for catching them lovely chub pike perch
I'd love to do a days fishing with you the amount I would learn would be great great video keep them up let's see some more great fish

is the bit at about 7:30 what they call ice fishing?
Well done for fishing freezing conditions...cracking fish and cracking law fishing...
Brilliant little bait and a great video with some stunning fish just a suggestion why don't you mark your landing net handle every 5cm so you can measure your fish without carrying any extra tackle

Nice fish mate. Prob shouldnt have put the last one back thou, he obviously warned the other perch !
We've been doing well with the 3D rat, last few weeks on the he cut 👍
Red Beard Brother! 👍
It might be because I’m watching this a little high but them chub were lovely
Nothing stupid about tube jigs.perfect crayfish imitation. I've caught many species on them . One of the best smallmouth bass lures of all time !
Those Big Chub sure did come on feed.Cold the better sometimes
I haven't seen those lures for years. My dad used to use those for pike fishing in the 80's/early 90's
Must over 30 years when I last used them, they were all the rage for a short time, might have been a shopping channel thing, I had a nice box full of the heads and the soft jellies, no idea where it went, probably used them and never saw them in the tackle shop.

Lovely chub!!
I’ve been watching you for a few months now. Where abouts are you fishing?
That lure is cool
Twenty years ago they were called Texas flying lures. It's a winning method. 🐟
Really common rig for smallies up here in Ontario. Sorta gone out of vouge as of late but those that know, know
Where that them house look mint never seen owt like that houses backing onto water! Cheers
I’m almost certain I drive trains right past there, if not then it looks identical, even down to the kayak in the water! Always fancied living there!
Hey. Nice episode. I've been watching you for so long that I already recognize your places. Do you ever catch the same fish twice? Greetings from Poland :)
Do you use a wire trace when going for pike? Do you swap between wire and mono for other fish?
If I'm targeting pike in 90% of situations I use a wire trace unless I'm throwing really big baits then I use 80-100lb fluorocarbon. If I'm targeting perch with soft plastics I almost always just use fluorocarbon usually between 8 and 15lb depending on the conditions
@@The_ginger_fisherman thanks for the reply, you’re fishing much heavier than I expected for some reason
What are the specs of that rod mate. Beautiful fish.

Great day out in such cold weather, interesting to catch a variety of species, very enjoyable to watch. The new book ' River Pike in Northern England' is good on flooded conditions, have you seen it?
Top man !!!!!!!
Sensible winter shoes! 👀 Bet your feet were freezing 🥶
Super 👍
can you recommend a good drop shot set up for beginner thanks.
in those conditions i find running a egg fly with some shot 3/4 foot up from the fly along the bottom of the slack gets the chub every time
You could try using a tungsten weight from a texas rig inside and then a 2/0 weedless hook. Might work
Been watching your vids for a while now and i really enjoy them but i keep getting the same question popping up in my head and that is, how do you go on getting all the permissions to fish all of these different locations or do you only fish known free waters? Keep up the good work.
Fantastic session pal, is this on the river dearne?
Did the first pike you caught have 1 of it's lower fins missing?
Yup lil nemo
I’ve seen quite a few of your baits and techniques before from playing some fishing computer games, it seems like you use a similar style to bass fishing in the USA
can i get details of where to order that bait weight hook please.
Nice bit if fishing!! What polarised glasses do you use?
Tube jigs are deadly multi-species baits here in Ontario , especially through the ice. A proper jig head imparts the best action and garners the strongest bite since the shank of the hook runs within the jig so the fish feel nothing but a big juicy chew.
no waay. We ordered some of those in the 90's - they were called the Flying Lure back then! Never caught anything them mind you
you'll have to get snow chains for that bicycle 😄
You can be shure that chub is hanging around in the slack water when the river is fludded. 😁
Morning mate love the posts! Do you let the lure hit bottom then bounce across it? Going to get my arse in gear and finally have a go . Cheers steve
