- A bit of a change of pace in this video. I hit the local canal with the intention of catching as much and as many species as i can using my new Shakespeare 11m pole. Rigged up with light line and tiny hooks. With maggots and bread as my bait. The session started with loads of silver fish and ended with some real chunky perch!

love the FISHING sign on the wall :)
Yeah, the FISHING text moved about on the sign a bit too to the point where it was on the back of his head.
I want to know what the sign actually says.
@@captainkenzie6873 it will be a sign illustrating who controls the water ie angling club
Another great vid, thank you 👍
I've got to say, for consistency and variety, you without doubt, the best Fisherman on RUclips bud.
Right.... thats it.... time to get a rod license and dig out my tackle and wipe off the dust. You've just brought back memories of my river fishing days some 15 years ago lol. Thank you for your videos 👍
My 3yo boy has never been interested in fish but he's obsessed with this video, I'm watching it for the 4th time in a row now. He calls you the "Hello guy" 😂
Man I've been binging your videos something fierce. Can't wait till the lockdown here is over. I'm dying to get out fishing. You're videos have been keeping me sane!
Where you from? We have been lucky enough to be allowed to fish here on lockdown.
Here in the Netherlands also.....
Oh we can fish during lockdown. We're just not allowed to travel 5km from our house unless it's absolutely essential like for shopping and doctor appointments. I've no rivers, or canals in my 5km unfortunately. And if I get caught outside the 5km I get fined €2000
Sadly I feel this. Ireland is the same :( hoping this will lift soon
Enjoyed that Chris, something a little different. Informative, relaxed and straight to the point. Nice one.👍
Nice to see the fishing skills were i started with when i was a very young fellow! Good vid Chris, i like it 👍
Nice 👌 so many people skip this type of angling but you can learn so much .As youngsters this is how we started no carp puddles to hammer out 100lb bags just good sport on local cut 👍 Happy days .Nice video Chris
That catch looks good for future of canal, nice to see. Fished that canal a lot as a kid.
Hello brother. your video is awesome. I also love fishing. Nice to meet you, I'm from Vietnam
Bill from the States here. I'm envious of the size the perch species get in Europe. Ours are loads of fun, but half the size.
A very relaxing session . Action without action. Can't get better than that.
Loving the vids, really helping me to catch more from my local canal.
That Perch looked great at the end there. Well done 👍
I appreciate your Outlook on commercial fisheries.
My brother and I started fishing last year and caught plenty on the river but only small bits. Decided to have a go at a local fishery.
It was easy to catch 5lb carp (big for us!) and it almost felt like cheating. Also the fish had horribly disfigured mouths from repeated catches. I had fun putting a bend in my rod, sure, but not a rewarding experience by any measure. So much more satisfying to catch a decent wild fish, even if it is less guaranteed.
probably best if you try both - you can question yourself sometimes spending all day on a freezing cold canal for a few silvers - but you're right that it's more "pure" fishing. Many young people nowadays expect immediate gratification which is something older anglers never had as we only had rivers & a few farm ponds - but on the plus side, commercials have helped to save angling.
@@SteeeveO I've never been on a fishery. I've been brought up on the canals and just recently branched out to brown and rainbow trout fishing. I'm part of that generation youre on about and can agree. If they don't catch in an hour they're bored and wanto go home. Plus they always expect it to be monster fish you're supposed to catch aswell.
@@garveybhoy1105 I think it's the internet that's made all of us - young & old - expect immediate gratification. As an example, we used to get one free paper a week with the property guide, or I had to trudge around the estate agents offices - now with a few clicks on Rightmove every property within my parameters is fed to me. It's probably a bad example, but we don't have patience any more & that is a requirement of being a more traditional angler. Still, I guess whilst we wait for a bite we can always watch youtube on our phones to improve our tactics. Not if you're fly fishing at the same time though.......
Thanks m8 for sharing this. I love canal fishing. Keep up the good work m8!!
Wish I could, I have to hide to enjoy fishing here at the moment, unless things change, quiet lakes are nice though but wish I can find easier hidden pieces of rivers where I can enjoy fishing without the worry of arrest and fines. Great video, miss the UK loads because of the freedom to enjoy fishing like this
What I can say,like always very good session ,is good to see you again fishing .
Great video. Canals provide great fishing in my opinion. My net gets attacked by pike virtually every trip. Great laugh ! Erewash and Beeston Canals are my favourites.
Lovely perch at the end
You definately need to be on the television. Great commentary.
After a terrible fish-less winter piking/perching on the L&L canal and Aire, i resorted to a whip and fine rig on the canal just to catch something....anything.... and found I really enjoyed it. Seeing how many smaller fish you can get in a session is a different scene but still fun, and it taught me something about lure angling. In places that i thought were deserted, where i couldn't get a take on the smallest micro lure, the fish are still there.
I love this simple kind of fishing, I’m definitely going to try it on my local canal! I’ll maybe do a video for my channel too! Great work 💪🏻🎣
Lovely fishing 👍🏻can’t wait to get out and have a go
Spot on Chris, good to see a change of tack
All you were missing was a pike to take one of these Roach.
🖒🖒🖒
I listened to about a minute of this with my eyes shut and I was convinced it was Tyson Fury talking haha
Another great Video Chris, with a bit of variety👍👌
Hi Chris, as usual, brill production and varied too.
First fish I caught was a perch on an east London canal. Never looked back. Love the vids.
you know, in 2005, I was backpacking/fishing Ufa, Russia and since I had never been to Russia, I did not know what to expect. I am from CA. and had never seen poles like this and seeing people use them made me get a taxi to go see some tackle shops. I had never seen stuff like they stocked but on the other hand, I had a Sage, fly rod and Able reel they were drooling after. :-) funny how tackle developed so different in other countries!
Love the variations in the vids! Another great episode 👏
Nice video if the canals weren’t so busy on the towpaths they would be the best venues ever👍🇬🇧
Fish over depth anchoring the bottom keep the bait static you will pick up the bigger fish.If you use dead maggots on the hook they wont wriggle through the silt.
Great video.
Nice perch..well done!
Great videos! I'd like to see you touch a little more on the kit your using as I'm normally a pole fisherman but your videos have inspired me to try more Predator style fishing. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻🎣
Very interesting. I have never seen or even heard of this style of angling here in Canada.
That was a suprise Chris! Scratching bits out of your local canal match style on a pole!😀 I know all about this technique, all too well I'm afraid. Lol. Also, don't neglect the really close line off the near shelf where the canal shallows up. Bonus fish can be found right under just a metre of pole under the tip. I'd like to see you trying this method in May when the weather is hopefully warmer and chasing a few canal Tench on the pole. Get the heavy elastic on though.😉 I think that would make a great vid too and a bag of beautiful Tench from a canal at the end of a session is always a terrific sight. Tight Lines mate!☺🎣
Great days fishing that is mate👍🏼 keep up the good videos 🎣
Just started fishing my local canal and had some fantastic day s out.
As a match angler my self. Please get a cheap pole roller or least put your bag on the floor where your end section will rest after shipping back. I squirmed everytime you went back 😂 noooo dont break that pole
Great to see a pole video, couple of pointers:
- a seatbox of any form definitely required so you can get your thigh tops parallel and holding the pole a lot easier.
- use a rod holdall or something to ship your pole back onto.
- a little pole cup and a catapult would help no end to feed accurately.
- you could put an extra no 10 on that float and see more bites for sure.
- as mentioned elsewhere, you could have caught very quickly just on a top kit at your feet if it was that solid.
- the bigger roach and perch will probably either be tight to the far bank, or at the bottom of the shelves, always have a plumb about
Excellent tips there for everyone mate. 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice bag of fish - as someone who has match fished canals for several years, I would always advise to start on the inside line - then move across. All too often, people go out to the far shelf / mid channel to begin with and miss what's in front of them. Fished a match at Scrubbs Lane (by Pentonville Prison) where roach were the target on squatt - whistle went, everyone went across at 12m. I stayed inside at 3-4m and out caught everyone. With so much bait hitting that line, fish became dispersed - however, I flicked a few squatt across every so often on the long line just as a back up. By the time everyone fishing long, all feeding the same line had struggled and came inside, I went long - and bagged up with roach. Eventually came 3rd on the day but would have won if a cyclist hadn't hit the back end of my pole before I unshipped at the 3rd section with a 1lb+ roach on the hook. The impact threw the pole to the side and pulled the hook from the fish!
Hate cyclists on towpaths....
Fishing with Tyson fury lol good video bud
Those 1st couple of rudd would have made fantastic perch baits 😈😈😈
Brilliant video! I haven’t fished for years and your tip about shots on the line were great! I’d love to see you fish a really hard commercial fishery to see what tips you’d come up with 😊
Nice one. Also was great to see you on On The Bank on Bt sport.
Proper fishing, why would you ever go to a commercial venue their just Hook a Duck type of things you get at fairgrounds
Quite enjoyed this something different to usual video! Good vid pal
What a pretty haul....
Hi Chris love your videos, definitely one of the best on RUclips, fair play to you. Would you be willing to do a sea fishing session for bass? Lure fishing, could do with some tips from a pro 😉🤙🎣🎣
Great video, as always!
Those two Perch were so tubby, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd snaffled one or two of those little Roach and Rudd in the net! :-D
I go fishing every Sunday I can't explain it in UK it's so nice everyone says hi
Great chill session mate
another brill video spot on
More of this PLEASE!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Great content! Keep up the good work
That was ace took me back to where I started 🙂
Great video I would love to see a video where you go after tench
100% when the weather warms up a bit more
Nice to see a different approach today Chris. Though pole dising is like Crap, er sorry, Carp fishing, and leaves me a bit cold. Glad you had fun though.
just subscribe love the channel so far man ! scotland EDI
Fantastic mate
How about a video to go through the basics of what you need, to have a first go at lure fishing for jack pike. I've been fishing for years but never had a go moving around fishing for jack pike. Wouldn't mind a go as the moving around, trying different swims appeals. Not sure what extra equipment I would need. I have a small pair of grippers for helping to get the hook out of silver fish, not sure if they would be ok for pike. I went to a river in the midlands last week and saw a few jack pike swimming along near the bank.
Sat right in front of the entrance to my grandads old allotment
I would Love to See some free lining rud fishing!
Mate keep up the good work love the vids! Would love to see you catch a river or canal carp
Nice video.👍🚣♂️🐟✌
Love the video bro ... I have to hey back to float fishing too its been far too Long hahhaha 🎣🎣🎣
Great video again Chris, beautiful Perch and little silvers . The sign behind you on the bridge , does it say Fishing or no Fishing? Have a great Easter say hi to the Bruvver .all the best from Downunder 👍
Great session, did the perch eat the little Rudd in the keep net 😃
Yeah i love this kind off fishing , all u can catch is the thing for me . Had a decent mirror on last year couldn,t land it tho it broke my hook . But i saw him that was nice . I caught pike,s off 65cm and carps 50cm brims around 65cm this way so yeah i love too fish with worms and or maggots, its the way too go for me .
I’ve got an old Ron Thompson pole I should try, get a bit of silver bashing on the go 👍 nice vid
I genuinely think I've the same one in the shed haha blue and silver 8 metre one. No idea where it came from, I've never used it. Never even fished freshwater to justify getting the thing
@@Jason-im3pz 😂😂 mine is 11mtr but same colours
Great videos...just wish my local canal had fish in it...everytime I try I get blanked. Coventry canal near Lichfield is bad...
Hard to beat the sight of a float going under.
As for suggestions, I'd like to see how you approach a new venue or a venue that you find particularly hard.
Amazing vid and sub thank you for this
Pleaseeeee do more pole fishing love it
You can still target trout on rivers trout season. Would be a good video pal get one made
Nice videos!!
You English have very long poles , cool vid
I wish my canal had 100s of fish in it to catch, there are fish in it but over 35 miles long it's very difficult to find them. And english canals seem to be thriving with fish compared to Scotland.
Never seen you fish on the pole Chris I can’t get on with it but I love whip fishing caught some stonking carp on commercial fisheries
My local lakes are dead at the minute, oh well keep persevering... Tight lines.
How close are you to the waters? Maybe try pre-baiting during the week leading up to your days fishing? I walk the dog round the lake pinging in bits of corn and last weeks maggots in strategic areas.
Nice video Chris!
Can you make a video of winkle picker/light feeder fishing for silverfish or bream.
Check your local byelaws people, certain canals are 'canalized rivers' meaning they dug the river out so boats could sail up it. These waters are classed as rivers and are closed as per the closed season. Also when using a keepnet double check your fishery/angling club rules to make sure they are allowed outside of matches.
Top days fishing on the canal
Nice video👍🏻
For a future vid...
Try riding a unicycle up and down the path while casting. A harmonica would be a bonus.
Has the close seasons changed since the 80's ? Everywhere used to be closed season in March and then open in June.
Very nice video.
Great crashing predators, fist pump-and-grimace videos seem to be the most popular - but I do enjoy this sort of excursion as much, or more.
Some very nice video work, too: at least three camera perspectives, good use of music, and some great B roll.
If I may ask, without objection, what sort of cameras are you using?

Any tips for a new fisher I can catch tons of roach bream Dace but when ever I see a perch they just aren’t interested in my bait I’ve used 1-3 maggots, jigs, hooks with eyes but they don’t bite?
Great fishing nice Perch, and a healthy population of species in a small area of canal, I would like to see if you can replicate that success on a small stream or brook no stocked of course that would make a great video.
Great video Chris, how about some trout fishing?
👍👍👍 good
Loved this video, great to see a different method than your used too!! Beautiful perch too!
What's the Shakespeare pole like? I'm after a cheapish pole and seen this one!?!?
Would love to see maggot to shark in 24 hours. Live bait bonanza 👍😉
Great editing pal that “FISHING” sign is bugging my OCD
Can you use the smaller fish to bait larger ones? I don't know if that's a common practice. I know literally nothing about fishing.
Hey mate, I have a video idea since it's cold in England anyways, try fishing a Carolina rig.
It's alot of fun even though you have to find that "click" before you know how to perfectly fish it
Love fishing those
Good vid
Anyone else notice the Fishing text on the sign? 😂
