How To Catch Wels Catfish On Lures! IN THE UK!! 

Dude without a doubt! I’ve just moved in to the new house today, so as soon as this weather sorts itself out, it’s game on!! Ps. I totally spaced on sending you that footage… Been all over the place with the house move recently. My apologies mate

@TheIllustratedAngler that's what I'm talking about! Glad to hear you already managed to find a place for you and your family! Yeah we'll sort something out for sure! No worries bro! That's not important, you just focus on the priorities!🤜🏼🤛🏼

Yeah, unfortunately we found that out the hard way… 😂

@@TheIllustratedAngler wounded. Loads of old pipes and snags in that corner, had it myself 🙈

Excellent! I do sort of wonder how much difference colour makes?? When you consider how “poor” their eyesight is meant to be 🤷‍♂️

Cats don’t care about lure color

Thanks mate!

Yeah. I do think there’s a good chance both of those were hooked in the mouth/pad to start with though. I’ve had it happen to me where I’ve seen a fish hooked in the mouth at the start of the fight and by the end it’s transferred it to its flank/fin. I think with lure fishing with barbless singles, hook holds will be a little sketchy. So bound to pop a few off and with the length of the fish there’s a lot of body to then foul hook as the hook leaves the mouth.

I totally get your point. And I think any lure/Pred angler worth their salt would say how much they despise the widespread destruction MEM et al cause on our canals. But, this option does at the very least give these fish a home without them being destroyed. It’s not ideal at all, but in my mind it is a slightly better option. Plus the fact, Tony, who runs Houchins, really is one of the nice guys in angling. And I’m more than happy to support him.

@@TheIllustratedAngler bless you pal yea your right but if you could c the devastation the crt are causing it would upset you to the core They are also taking large carp and pike to stock their own waters They are destroying our fishing I just need everyone to no what’s going on Cheers 🍻
