Fish LOVE Locust! Creek/River Fishing Live Locusts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- No lure fishing this time. Fishing with live locusts from the local pet store. Down the local creek / river. Free lining / stalking for big chub. Some big fish caught including a potential personal best!
Great to see so much success with such a simple setup. You caught more decent size chub in one session than I can catch in a whole season. Like ur vids, as you are not pushig fishing gear onto your viewers, but demonstrate how it's done with relatively easy methods. Keep it up!
Chris ...you are the polar opposite of the phrase "All the Gear No Idea". I love how you keep everything cheap and simple with innovative baits very few would dream of trying, yet always catch specimen fish and plenty of them. Amazing Fishing mate 👌
Great vid, brilliant how you bring a different approach to fishing, makes me want to start again!
Live half a hour away had a walk down there today crystal clear but seriously wunt believe fish ya pulling out , brilliant chilled viewing well done lad
"Impale the crap out of him"! 😂😂 I spat tea all over the place
I've actually been out fishing for chub and ran out of bread whilst free lining bread flake on the surface. I set off home, due to running out of bread, when a large grass hopper flew into the river and a huge fish took it, literally sucked under water. So quickly grabbing another large summer grass hopper I put it on my hook and without anything else on my line set up wise, other than a size 10 hook. I caught a huge Chub. Couldn't believe how effective bait they are. Nice fishing....keep up the excellent fishing vids!!!!
I absolutely love your videos always something different thank you
Excellent fishing, no fancy tackle, plenty of fish, just how I like it. Great video as always!
no fancy tackle .. apart from the fancy bait XXXXX
Yeah mate, that was my favourite bait on rivers when I was child fishing for chub in Romania, in that time's were really good chubs in rivers, that is devastating for chub for sure
My dad says that when he was little grasshoppers used to be a really highly rated bait for chub but the problem was you'd spend 6hrs collecting the little buggers and then it'd all be gone within an hour of fishing
Superb vid mate, called it Dapping in the old days didnt they, bloody works in 2020 too, nice one
As a Kid i used to fish the Thames and tributaries, my go to bait for Roach and Chub was the Damselfly used to catch them with the landing net and fish them the same as you with the same results, I really must go back to my fishing roots to have some fun, I think I still have my cane rod and old metal Mitchell 300 reel although some restoration of both will be required I'm sure, I will subscribe to your channel as you have hit my nostalgia button on the head, excellent video thank you
WOW bloody fantastic.
That’s 1 of the 10 plagues of Egypt to fish with...go for the other 9
I'm not sure I want to see him hook impaling first born children.
@@giorgiotatananni9652 Could do this with my first born the way he's acting at the moment haha
@@The_ginger_fisherman A tip, if I may. Bring him/her fishing with you and after the first catch explain that, if s/he doesn't behave, you have the power to put him/her on the "other side of the hook".
17:39 🤣🤣🤣 throws his net on top of the weed I’m dead 😂😂😂
A second later when he's saying he thinks its not a bad fish it flashes to his chest cam for a split second I was able to pause it perfectly
You have inspired me to dash out to the local pet shop to buy some crickets and have a go down to my local creeks & streams!
We use grasshoppers for trout here in Tasmania, a nice fluffy travel rug spread on the grass catches them when they land on it….👍👍👍
Hello, well done. I have used mealworms for Perch with good results, I'll try some of those big beasties.
What size hooks did you use ? I tried it with morio worms when our beardie passed away they were hard to hook properly .
I have exactly the same rod in the same colour made by a company called chevron my dad bought it when he was 16 then gave it to me still use it today great rod loved the video as usual great fish and if you ever get rid of the rod I’ll buy it lol all the best mate stay safe
Lucky for you that you can fish with locusts in your country.. Here in Slovenia is restricted only on maggots or common earthworm if you want to fish with live baits and only for carp and such.. It wasn't always like that.. I remember when I was a kid we went to some small stream near house and we hunted locusts and caught a lot of fish even without rod and some trouts were huge
In France, grasshoppers have almost disappeared in most of the country. "Fini la pêche à la volante" .
Perfectly done!!!
- all the different types of free fishing near Home!!!! coooooool!
// chubbs on bugs - my favorite fishing all the year around liquid water!! *(with frozen bugs too) - can't let it go... it's so visual and entertaining - the best as for me ))
/// I use 3 times bigger hooks (for big bream) - and without lead and bulb- only flourocarbon leader: almost all the takings come on a fall of a bug on the water - and there is no reason to let the tackle to go down without visual control- because of problematic retrieving of fish in the branches and weeds- almost impossible to catch it...
Thanks a lot!!!!! Let The Power and Inspiration be with You!!!
Not a bad lad... !! Lolz.
Top fishing mate. Loving watching your content. Recently started myself and use slot of your tips. Y thank you 🙏
Love this, already have the bad boys in the shed, trying it around the Twickenham canals in few days 😃
How big do we reckon that first chub was then lads? The more i watch the clip back the bigger it looks to me
Thats a good 5.5lb at least. Mate good skills I'm defo going to use these as I also keep these for my tarantula. When they die I usually just chuck em in the bin... not anymore!!!
I'd say that's a shade bigger than 5.10
5.09 😂
The Ginger Fisherman I’m saying late 4, regardless of weights it’s a cracking looking Chub kid!
Dunno but that's a big chub. Big bait big fish.. 5 on the nose
I think you've found a great new chub bait
I use to use Hoopers as a kid and yes they work amazingly!
Great vid again buddy, I'm a new subscriber as only found your channel recently and had a few binge watching sessions. Your a very competent angler, who's likeable and you present the content really well too. Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family and tight lines buddy 🎣
Best chub bait 👍🏻, reminds me of my childhood, these or a chafer beetle were killers on small rivers catching plenty of fish
Consistently brilliant these videos mate, and I'm badly jealous of those chub! Can't seem to find many swims like that with chub in on the small streams I fish in the North West
used crickets too for surface carp.. (kept tarantulas etc so always had lil critters) tthey whack em with zero fear.dipped under branches/foliage so just sit on top of water,legs send out loverly surface tension ripples "dinner time over here"
Awesome video . Thanks for sharing
I think that first chub you caught was pushing around 6lb or a little bit more. I like watching your videos you show great content keep up the good work 👍
Brilliant bit of fishing 👍🎣
Live locusts and crickets are fantastic big Chub baits on the Dorset Stour, shame you forgot the scales for that first Chub, definitely at least 5lb maybe even 6!
I simply love you man, love your videos, like and subscribe straight away:) cheers from Leicester
Thanks buddy
Keep the videos coming buddy please 🙏 😀
Great fish I think we'll over six well done 👍
this may bring tears to your angling eyes, but in Victoria (Aust.) we would drive to the rivers and simply pick the yellow wing locusts off the front of
the radiator grill and fish for trout, which love the locusts. Beats buying foreign food?!
Just imagine they had stocked chub in the Nile, they'd have 50 pounders by now....
Some cracking chub.
Cracking vid mate - love that you use crazy shit to fish with and it works ! I need to get me down the pet shop ! Thanks for making these - nice one
Great video. 🙂
I'd say very close to a 6 that 1st Chub. Well in Chris slaying em as allways!
Good job!Beautyfull fish.Gratulation 😉
Great video as always mate, good fishing. Would love to see you do a "pike love pigeons" video following on from your mice/rat one. There's loads in and around the bridges on my local
Great stretch of river ,behind Morrison😎.
Man, beautiful chubs, love to catch them but unfortunatly we just don't have that rich waters with fish and chubs over 2 pounds are pretty rare
Nice fish bro
I have the same rod that I bought when I was a kid and it's still going strong lol keep making great vids buddy
I always fancied trying crickets as bait as i keep them anyway as food for plants and a gecko. Might finally have to give them a go this weekend.
We fish with crickets here in this part of Iowa and grasshoppers too
I fish with gekos...
6.02 let a right ripper go 👏👏😂😂😂😂 impressive stuff
Quality stamp of fish. I wouldn't say there like Beatles more like an insect. Grass hopper.
1st watch you could have used a hair rig loop too attach locust . thumbs up never thought of using the wifes pet food ) gl
Wondering if this method would be as effective during the winter months?
Everyone’s snakes and lizards are gonna have to go hungry
See if you can get hissing cockroaches or normal crickets would be good the cockroaches float so would be an excellent surface bait
Ловить рыбу где она есть приятно и интересно!!! Rashen lengvig cam on place!!! Veri big laiks. Желаю здравствовать и радоваться !!!
Good luck!
Do you target trout at all. Those hoppers would be great for trout. Wouldnt mind going fishing with you, once covid settles, plan to visit your country. Keep up the great videos, entertaining, and you catch fish. Keen for big redfin👍👍
Man, I love fishing for chubb!
love the vids mate keep them coming
Seems like the best baits are whatever falls into the river naturally.
Great video Chris. Some excellent Chub there. I reckon the biggie went 5 and a half at a conservative estimate. Typical you don't bother taking your scales and you hook a proper whopping great Chub. 😁 lol Those locusts as bait seem to do the business. I'm going to try it out on some of the swims on my local small river here. I hope it works as well.☺👍
Thanks buddy. Good luck!
Have you tried waxworms, also sold to feed pet reptiles and amphibians? They're look like mega-maggots, so might pick out the bigger chub and perch.
Nice video of chub fishing!
Great PB chub and on a retro rod well done thinking out side the box with your bait and keeping it simple always works best.what was the rod I love using vintage retro tackle mainly rods and reels maybe a video for the future? Tight lines mate
i allways went for the chest when hooking the locust, didnt knew the abdomen would also work
Vlad the impaler has got nothing on you :)
My favourite channel at the minute some great looking stretches of water were in the country are you buddy?
In Australia, in summer if the river fish (namely trout) aren't biting bung a live cricket on an unweighted line. Guaranteed! Perch or trout. Lubbly Jubbly! 🤣
Lovely Chubbly!
Would love to try some of these bait ideas but alberta Canada has the TIGHTEST conservation of fish . They dont let you use anything that's not a minnow leech shrimp or maggot . Or like wax worms are good too. But not just anything you find on the bank or other critters like live mice and grasshoppers
6:02 did you fart or did the chub grunt?
That was my arse well spotted XD
@@The_ginger_fisherman well, tends to happen from time to time. My colleague fishermen complain about my winds from time to time as well
Pmsl
Let rip and kept talking, quality 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
And how do you not complain about nettle stings? I spend way too much time swearing about being stung
Those Locusts come from India where they had that giant swarm recently.
Locust we use in România as common bait for chubs.
Salut Tudor, a folosit pluta, plumb si lacuta? Eu pescuiesc doar stiuca si biban, nu stiu nimic despre chub dar e plin raul de chub. Ma poti ajuta cu informatia asta?
Oh man...you deserve a beer !
Awesome video mate
Have you ever used a live Crayfish as bait, I wonder if Chub eat ordinarily? I’d love to see some underwater film of a Chub strike on a Cray💪🤣♥️
Getting done over by weed! You are such a grump lol, pulling out those quality chub.
I would love to fish with the ginger fisherman, as I'm a river fisherman as well, my personal best fish include pike to 23lb 12oz and chub to 7lb 4oz, Barry of Enfield
Im totally new to coarse fishing. Do lots of sea fishing but loving your chanel. I dont know much about coarse rigs. Sea rigs tend to be quite heavy duty.
What shot did you have on the line and how far away from the hook? Did you have a float on too? Cool vid👍
Great fishing i mean skipping 🎣🎣🎣👍😛👍
Great film 👍 as a few others have said a forgotten method and still works, live meal worms another excellent bait 🎣🎣👍
Afternoon mate cracking video again perch love Locusts aswell 👍 what river was that ? Looks nice
A lovely water Chris, and that first fish was a chunk mate. Hope the cockles recovered ?.
Thanks mate just about XD
What reel are you using buddy loving the vids
Serious question; don't regular grashoppers work? Better option than exotic species I would think, plus good exercise trapping them.
Come to the lake district trout fishing in the mountains!
Yeh used to live in kendal, used to go to a tarn round may June time and pick the alder fly off the gorse bushes and fish with those, absolutely brilliant
Trout with locusts?
Hey great vids as always, just wondering what area you fish in as i live in London and the canals are very weedy. would be great to have some natural spots to fish in to try out some of your tips.
Hi from polen good channel m8
Good Angling bud
Nice 🐟🐟
I'm just here to enjoy the videos and laugh at the comments 😂
You should do a video fishing for tench
I'm free...I'm free!! ....wait what?...arghhhh!!!!!
What river is that it looks really nice
awesome
Anyone noticed chub squeak when you catch them they sound like there gagging
They are for sure when I stuff my knob in their mouth
Like it 🦂
I notice that you never seem to take any fish home except as bait. Is this due to not liking fish, UK fishing rules, or because the canals, rivers, and streams you fish are somewhat polluted?
what river are you on please and is it a club stretch?
Was going to try this myself as i have a load of locust at home, did u say u just put a shot weight (what size and where on the line?) and a size 8 hook?
