Micro Dropshot Catches BIG Canal Fish!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2021
- A bit of an interesting dropshot session. Using a 1 inch bait catching everything from tiny micro perch, to slab bream and even a big pike at the end. It was a really eventful very enjoyable session on the local canal. Great fun on the ultra light rod and the pike put up an epic scrap.

I don't do much dropshotting, but this was a very enjoyable session. As a disclaimer you will get bitten off by pike on 6lb fluro. Just don't want anyone misinterpreting what i said at the beginning of the video. It just offered slightly more protection than the 2lb i was thinking of using. Tight lines guys!
To be fair I use seaguar ace hard in 9lb and not suffered a bite off yet. Not saying it doesn’t happen but it’s better than most think.
You can tie heavier weighted fluro to a lighter braid! It's no problem if you know how to use your drag. I often use 6lb braid to a 10lb+ fluoro leader
Again may I ask where you are fishing

You need to be so careful when using micro sized lures as anything will take them, I was jigging on the grand union canal and had a 20lb carp on one!!! Took me an hour to get it to the net on ultra light perch gear.
Happened the same thing to me! I was ultralight spinning for perch with 1-5g rod. I was using 4.5cm shad and a 24.5 lb carp ate it. It took me more than 45 minutes to get it out!
That’s amazing 😮
Carp eat almost everything. It makes sense if they gulped the lure down. Gotta be careful w them😂
Disclaimer about bite offs certainly understood and recognised here, Chris.☺ That was an excellent session. The canal slab was impressive but that Pike was awesome. What an epic fight and capture! Well done mate!☺ Keep up the great vids.👍🎣
I would like to thank you, your enthusiasm and catches on micro lure made me invest, having a similar canal here. Fished and not done too great getting used to it. But today you sat on my shoulders several perch and then a PB chub, it was immense as was the fight and getting it into a net far too small. I'd guess over 7lb, so thanks mate!
Brilliant congrats. It just shows everyone that the right time and the right day they'll take it! You don't always have to take your expensive gear to the canal!
That's what i like about ik fishing, catching big pike on a very light gear, nice video Chris, like it 👍
That was some great fishing, the big pike fight was brilliant, great skills on landing that beast
Thanks for pumping the content 👌If I had one slight critique it would be the music but I think everything you say is useful and interesting so more of that would not hurt at all 😁
Awesome video. Nothing better than a big fish on light gear 👍
Thank you yet zgain for a fantastic video. Very informative and enjoyable.👍👍 Tight lines. 👍
Some blank with £200 lures and the legend gets them with a 50p jig 😆😆 top fisherman
Really helpful video, I live right near manc city centre and have only just got back into fishing as an adult after stopping when I was a teenager.
Cheers!
Great stuff Chris, your getting into drop shooting,cheers .
Nice upload , nothing better than a pike that puts up a fight on light gear , nice bream too for a canal
Great video and nice to see you catch a Bream on a softbait welldone!
I remeber when I had a 15lb 7oz pike out the canal on one of those what a day that was keep up the good videos and some very nice fish
Fantastic session Chris , the bream was a beauty. Then the Pike at the end was awesome on light gear . Welldone mate 👍. Take care mate all the best from Downunder 👍
BREAM? ON A LURE? best fishing video I've seen this year!
It’s actually quite common
A friend of mine caught a bream of about 45 cm on a tandem spinner, meant for pike, in a polder canal in Holland. Big surprise😄
@@janhaanstra2245 he had to of snagged it.... what was running through that fishes head hahaha
we used to dropshot for chub on our local small rivers 20+ years ago with fat lobby's! Great fun way to fish.
That was a nice run with the pike. That's what I go for the run... Tight lines
Fishing for perch with a small ultralight combo is so cool over how crazy perch go for
Top class you make it look so easy.
Well done, Cracking bream👌
Perfect all Your videos. 👍🏻 greeting from Slovakia
Cool fishing video. Thanks for sharing! I'm also micro jig fan)
Great job!!! Thanks for sharing.
What a guy what a video brilliant keep it up cracking pike mate been through the wars that one
Chris, you need an antiseptic fish spray for wounds like that. Just spray before releasing.
Decent size bream and pike, but no decent size perch 😁
Pike and perch are incredibly tough with stuff like this. I mean you can do it but they heal really well on their own.
Great vid as always
Nice fish as always bro👊🧙♂️
Great video as usual 😎👊
Great video mate! 😁
HI from France Very nice video you've done here !
You earned my subscription today man , very cool I've often thought of trying that method with a couple of nymphs for trout in my local river and after seeing this video I can't see any reason a hungry wild brown wouldn't take a fly presented that way.
What a session quality 👌
Nice to see someone using gear how it should be that drag is set perfect more or less stops hook pulls im a matchman and I always love to learn and dam have you given me ideas. keep up this epic work. God Bless
Great stuff. It's almost the time of year for daddy long legs (the cranefly sort). You should make a video on fishing them with a bubble float. You use a fine, small hook and they thrash about dramatically on the surface. Very exciting way to catch trout and roach and other species that will feed from the surface.
Very cool .Love targeting fish on micro tackle
Great vid! liked it a lot, might have to use a bigger net next time haha!
What a great session nice slab of a bream and bus of a pike on that light tackle bra
1 like for each time he said "micro jig" 😂
Great video, thinking of fishing similar myself tomorrow with the ballzy worm lures
You need a landing net with a longer handle to make things easier.. Geat video. I must try this micro dropshot technique !
My bets where on the last pike breaking the line, awesome save
Great vid, saw the mallard chicks with their mum and thought... Match the hatch..
Wow, stonking Bream and on a lure. 😎
Love your videos! Would you ever consider heading out to the coast to do a saltwater session?
Watched a Guy drop shotting years ago and when I asked about his set up he had two AA's on a 16" tail which he said served two purposes as he could slide them up or down to alter the depth the lure was off the bottom and they would simply slide off if he got snagged.
Great footage and some nice fish on light gear! Did you know that they make nets with handles of all lengths? You can even buy em yourself!!!
I need to get me a dropshot setup, but there nothing like walking into a shop and having a good old proper look at the gear so I've been holding out. I hope Nath from BostinAngling can get a headcam soon, so we can film some mixed fishing vids. Thumbs Up!
You can see that first bream in the water take the bait, come off and return again if you look closely!
Great video but that net coupled with the elastic is so painful to watch. Just get an extending bank stick with a flip latch and a regular net head so you can quickly make it longer if needed. That net is designed for people wading or sat in kayaks and as this video illustrates is very inconvenient for bank fishing.
Thanks for going over the tackle you’re using, really helpful. Is it the same rod and reel you used for the trout?
Hapy new year!
Bream aren't usually associated with taking lures or moving baits, but I've caught one on a bare hook before as I was plumbing with a float. It took a shiny size 16 hook on the retrieve.
I had a small skimmer bream on a gold mepps spinner no.1 size when looking for perch on the Norfolk Broads last year.
Territorial, happens when fly fishing , caught rudd and bream on ace of spades or dogknobblers
Hate bream with a passion but i bet it must be a nice suprise when youre fishing for smaller fish. Nice video.
Iv just ordered some drop shot rigs on eBay to save me the hastle of making them up. Just bought a ligh rod. The fox rage 2-8g paired up with the Shimano sienna 2000... Iv got loads of micro softies. Can't wait to get out. Gone for heavier brade incase of big pike. 👌👌
Enjoy your vids chap
Great! Inspiring!
Yeah awesome fish mate. A 3lb bream and a couple of small Jack's 🙄
Good job🤙🤙🤙
great vid... i will try a micro lure meself.... firstly i cant believe that bream...ive spent years in matches fishing light gear for finicky bites etc...and you go plop and get a decent slab....
secondly... i think that pike was grabbed by a huge pike when you first hooked it..thats where wound came from.... you need better landing net handle as well. .. .
Can you please do more micro lure fishing on the canal please. I am a big fan I of your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos 👍👍
Could you do a video with the cane pole at the river like you did on the canal a month ago?
5:37 this bream wasn't a good fighter. Nice video, cheers from Poland🇵🇱👌
Bream always seem to lay sideways and come in easy, imo
Great video buddy, could you please tell me how you tie the hook like that?
It would come in handy for fishing the rocks.
Rich
Thanks for this video my friend, very nice pikes. Do you remember the colour of the rubber lure?
Great fishing I think you need longer arms if using that little net though 😅👍
Super film.pozdrawiam z Polski
I have never done dropshots. I have seen the setup, but when you fish on dropshot, do you wait then to sink to bottom and bob it along the bottom or you can start jigging when its just little under water.
I am planning to try this for still water trout.
I have always wondered what’s in those canals
Great vid.
New to drop shot fishing and can you tell me, do you reuse your Tipsys or is it a new one every time? TIA
Looks like a giant pike wanted to bite him in half. Here in Australia there's many toothy ocean fish. Tailor (Bluefish , America) are especially common especially if you throw a little burley around.
I see you use the lmab 1-7g, which model do you use please, the parabolic action or the tip action version?
love bobby the net
Gr8 vid as always. Could you link the lure maybe? I can't find it or it is out of stock. Keep it up 💪
New to your channel, definitely enjoying your content the most. Say, what's your favorite weightclass between ultralight to heavy (about 80g)? Cheers lad!
wouldn't have expected some of these fish to go for such a tiny bait
@Ronnie Kray 😂
Do you not tend to catch a few bream in the same area as they are shoal fish?
Small pond-big fish! Amazing!!😲 It is UK?
Great video quality. 👍 Which canal and where were you fishing?
How do u tie the some of the spinners and micro jigs,
Where can i buy that rod? Looks awesome
Dostum çok iyisin 👍👍 Türkiye'den selamlar 🇹🇷🇹🇷✋✋👏👏
I like the way you fish and funny enough im a ginger too and I like to fish with 4 pound line for huge carp but if I am tryn to fish for pike and use lite line ill use 6 like you do if im tryn to use lite line to getta fun fight bc when you have heavy line you know you can just horse them in so half the time you do so if you know you have 6 pound line and a fish thats 10 to 30 40 pounds with teeth you know your gonna have to take your time in catching that fish
You got lineaffe brand in the uk? lol i thought it was just here in Italy
Will you do a short video of how to properly hold pike for us. Cheers
i try to catch pearch with lures near bathampton at the kennet avon canal does someone know what to do ?
Good that Thanks
What temperature is the water there? Perch aren't really active here where I live, water is 6.5 degrees celsius here
Too cold for Perch
@@lukasfredholm4635 I know now the water is boiling over here over 20 celsius
I'm impressed that light lb line what was it 2lb tippet landed those pike.
My mistake 8lb impressive nonetheless.
I tried dropshotting with a #14 hook and artificial bloodworm...caught so many rudd and roach
Still so mint fishing 🎣What colour are them lures and what's the name of them also we're can I get them thanks 🐟
Nice!
If there's any chance of a pike 🤔 you have to use a trace ,even a small pike would bite u off ,
Wow! 👏👏👏
Impressive .
nice vid m8 id love to get down bank with u sometime mate
To je bre zadružni ribnjak...
If you ever fish the Caledonian Canal you might need heavier gear just in case you hook Nessie lol
