These Topwater Canal Strikes Are Insane! BFS Style!

  • Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
  • This session was all about topwater fishing! My first topwater session of the year. The aim was to hopefully catch a canal chub or two and obviously expecting some pike action too! I was using small frogs in the chub swims and larger frogs with wire leader in the more pike dominated areas. It started off tricky, I couldn't seem to nail the hookset with the light bfs setup at first. After thinking about how to change my approach I decided to just reel into the fish as they took the bait and not strike at all! It ended up being the turning point in the session and took my hook-up rate from 0 to 100%. Hope you enjoy!

    I would love to see more topwater and more bfs fishing. Two approaches that I really enjoy.
    What I have found with weedless topwaters like those frogs is to wait after the strike until you feel the weight of the fish, and then set (at least for bass)

      Same here mate, guess your playing for norf fc , were the canala are drinking chocolate coloured, only remedy is vibration , those small glass vials with small steel reattles work well on soft plazzies, or wopper plopper for surface fishing for pike, small vib lures work well on the perch so there is workarounds, things that i have no answer too is my canal is featureless, the odd bridge or moored up barge is the only structures likely to hold perch 👍

    So long story short, she said to message you and ask you to stop saying that because she won't let me watch your videos on telly 😂😅😂.
