Thank you! Honestly I wish I had the time to make them longer 😂

Cheers! This is just a 2.75lb carp rod and a 4000 size daiwa reel, not ideal stuff really id recommend something a bit lighter

Thanks mate! Appreciate it

It's a 40 - 100g Abu Garcia rod, thanks mate!

@@DanGoesFishing Ah ok, and what would the length be?

I think it's 8ft👍

I heard that It did! I have tired for them but couldn't get past the small ones, thank you! I have fished it once and had a nice pike but I'll definitely give it another go! Appreciate it massively 🙌

Hey mate yes it is! So I do move around a lot, this time of year on here I find they can be anywhere! I try to look for any signs of bait fish that always helps, but for the most part it is just a case of coving water. In the winter I'll try find the deepest holes I can. This reservoir does have a ledge about 10 foot out where I had the second fish. Id try using jigs if you're not already using them, they're so good for mapping out the water and feature finding 👍

This time of year, the ledges are the place to be like Dan said! Although I've still been getting bites as you'd expect under /next to fallen trees etc. If the water is so low that trees aren't reaching over at all, just cover as much ground as you can and target the upper middle of the water column. Also like Dan said, the easier to spot baitfish usually mean predator fish near by, all year round on any water :)

Thanks both, I had a trip to the reservoir this eveningonly had an hour or so before dark. Took the jigging rod (usually I use swim or jerk baits on a heavy setup and have had quite a few decent fish from there) Jigging the spots I usually fish tonight has taught me a lot about the depth of the reservoir and how much water depth wise I've been missing. Some of the spots are so deep that casting in areas that I thought quite shallow are actually very deep. This reservoir is supposedly 100ft deep in places 😮 keep the vids coming Dan 😊

Thank you! So yeah officially they shouldn't be returned, but it's a extremely long winded and complicated debate 😂 I don't know of any anglers now that don't return them, even when they get elcro fished they put the big ones back because it's destroys the ecosystem removing the top predator, it's all just a bit of a mess really!

Thank you mate!

Yeah I don't see why not! I've never fished it but if you have a quick Google see if there's Zander in there then you'll be able to catch them! As a starting point look for deep holes, dark areas, lock gates stuff like that 👍

@@DanGoesFishing okay thank you! is floating or bottom fishing better

No worries! If you're deadbaiting have them on the bottom

Thank you

Thank you, appreciate it a lot! I use a gopro hero 12 and a sony zv-e10 👍

This is the grand union canal in Warwick, there's Zander all the way along just have to find them, and thank you!

Thank you! 🙌

Thank you! I love them so much 😂 yeah it's such a shame but they'll never go anywhere though, even stretches that get hit every year they bounce back so quickly! Thanks for watching 🙌

@@DanGoesFishing all they do is cause a Zander explosion when they fry the canals also taking big carp and pike I’ve seen it happen at a cost of 80k a year Tight lines pal hope the next one is the magical 10lb they are out there 👍🏼🎣🐳

It's absolutely crazy stuff, I've heard all the stories 😞 hopefully 🤞tight lines!

Thank you! I was happy

They were charging me!😂 Could of been lethal 🤣

They're never going anywhere mate! 🙌 I've never killed one and I never will, thanks as always!

Thank you! And I know it happens 😄

Thank you! It was a lot of fun! 😅

I know 😅 thank you appreciate it!

It's an enjoyable water to fish! Can be hard but has good rewards

Thank you! Aha I was thinking exactly the same! I don't know if it's an experience I'd want to have again 😂

I know, thank you!

People can get weird about carp I find, but thank you!

Thank you! Appreciate it

i am not hating on you i am new to fishing and just wanted ask the question

Hey mate! Yeah no worries from what I know you're completely right you're not suppose to but most anglers including myself ignore it. There's a lot of misinformation on Zander but in the short they're way to integrated into our water ways to ever get rid of. If you remove them especially bigger ones it causes havoc with the ecom system and makes everything worse (because they predate on themselves and keep their own numbers down) so yeah in my opinion put them back and let the waterways find their own balance

Hey! no problem, there's no perfect answer to this, as a rough guide it depends how deep your fishing and how fast you need the bait to get the bottom. However, you then need to balance that out with the weight that the rod can cast and then the fish that you're after. As an example I was fishing for pike recently on a 6 foot deep later, 12cm shad and a 10g jig head (10-40g rod) also don't forget the weight of the shad itself. Id definitely try not to go to heavy though as I believe a slower sink gets more bites. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I'm glad you agree!

Thank you!

Thank you! I was very happy!

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy 👍

Hey, thank you! Yeah I would definitely recommend a bit of deadbaiting! These are 2.75 carp rods here not ideal, if you have something around the 2lb mark that should be alot better!

Thank you!

Thank you! And I know it was stunning

Oh wow thank you I didn't know that! Yeah I agree

Yes it is! Good spot

Thanks for watching!

Thank you appreciate it! And you should definitely give it a go they're the best 🎣

Thank you!

Thank you! 👍

Thank you! Hugely appreciate this 🙌 I like a 7g, you might be better with 10g on 3m. I don't like it to fall to fast because you'll be amazed the amount of bites you get on the drop. 10g should be good provided it suits the rod you're using 👍

Thank you mate! I like yellow and black at the moment catches a lot for me 👍 9cm will catch you anything (pike, perch, zander), 12cm if I just want to catch pike.

Thank you! Yes this is 9cm

Thank you! Me too, all worth it in the end

Thank you mate! Hope you catch a monster 🤞

Thank you appreciate it! And yeah same here got a list of places ready to visit!
