Sight Fishing Big Perch In Crystal Clear Canal 

Well its been a rough week and a half. Everyone in the house is ill including myself. I didn't go fishing for a week and a half helping to look after the poorly kids. Finally yesterday i went out to a forgotten pond caught a cracking mid double pike then somehow lost the main camera in the woodland meaning not only am i down a £700 camera but also lost all my footage. So anyways uploads should resume as usual next week 😂.... hopefully

Perch are some of the most beautiful fish. Love the colours on them

Having taken up lure fishing recently, I've been watching your vids a lot. Great bite sized content. No blatant advertising. Lots of different techniques and different fish. You have a great channel and you've certainly helped me actually start to catch fish on the lures. Thank you. Might need to get the worms out now though 😂

That has got to be the cleanest canal I've ever seen, must be nice to have a stretch where narrow boats don't dump their shit in the water.

Another very enjoyable video, think it was the late Richard Walker that said there's no bigger fish than a big perch, stunning.

Been watching your videos for a while man and I noticed I wasn’t subscribed had to drop a sub 👍🏻 superb vids everytime, really helped me along since I’ve begun fishing. keep it up!

Loved the double perch! Never seen anything like that before - amazing! Great specimens and side by side! Hope you're all feeling better. Thanks again for the great vids.

That was an awesome session. I can't wait to find some nice perch like that this fall as well. I love fishing for perch during the fall when all the big ones come out and try to fatten up for the winter. Thanks for sharing.

Dafuq, even if I would try all day to catch a pike with a worm i wouldn't be able to manage, you landed 2 in a row haha. Nice video! Lovely canal man, looks very promising.

Cheers Chris ,really enjoyed this vlog ,appreciate the work you put in to this ,thanks 👍👍

Reminds me of my childhood where I fished for Pike and Perch in my local lake :)

Your videos are the Dogs Diamonds!

Nice video mate and sorry to hear about the family being ill and losing the camera. I had a chuckle when u said bout pike and ultra light… happens to me every time I hit the canal for Perch go light and the pike show up in abundance 🤦‍♂️ tight lines mate

Chris you make awesome videos , this one is no exception. Stalking and light tackle great way to fish , good way to take up fishing on a budget too 👍

Cracking session Chris, keep them coming.

Awsome perch mate, worms great bait for them, had my best perch on lobs. Me and my family all ill currently too and having to isolate, so can't get on the bank, watching this has helped, cheers.

Fantastic vid!! And I’m definitely going to give that a go this week🎣

Brilliant video Chris, felt I was there so exciting,great simple tactics,🇮🇪

Fantastic brace of perch, stunning fish, thanks for uploading this 🤗

I needed that video thank you for making it

Good video Chris hope you and your family gets better soon.

Cracking video! Fantastic brace of Perch!

Cracking couple of perch at the end mate always a joy watching your videos it's a straight click 😂😁👍

Great way to catch perch mate, takes me back to my youth catching them in ditches this way 😂

"Crystal clear canal"....didn't know they existed...my local canal when I lived in England was the Oxford at Rugby....the clearest I ever saw that was when I could see 6" down! However nice to see that they do exist and are fun places to fish!

Really enjoying your videos 2 great perch not bad pike either

Your canal has amazing clarity, don't get that clear water round here, but have had some good Perch out

Epic perch!!! 🎣😎🐟

Fantastic Perch Chris, well done mate . I see you brought the rain with you 😂😂😂. Take care mate all the best from Downunder 👍

Quality vid perchfect fish 👍

Super Perch 🤩 👏 👊

The perch here in Tasmania should be heating up soon. check out some of the rippers i got last year. great show. just subscribed.😀

Awesome, a new vid

So funny with those pike, my last video i had 2 pike on worm fishing for perch!

I've watched and enjoyed some of your vids on your local river. Do the water authority cut the Summer weed growth I wonder. Noticed some shots with streamer weed and some without when you were wading down the river casting lures. They do this practice on some of the Southern rivers usually in early Summer. Vandalism in my view.

Great video

Awesome vid as usual Chris. Two gorgeous Perch, but the first fish had to be a pesky Pike, didn't it?😁 Sometimes the simplest methods are the best.👍Sorry to hear you and the family haven't been very well. I hope you all feel better soon. And it wouldn't be you without a minor calamity or two occurring during a sesh.😂 Get a new camera and we'll look forward to new Ginger fishing adventures soon. Take care mate.☺

Cant beat free lining with a worm love it

Nice fish mate

great to see big perch, not a lot about now a days

Your blessed atm ginge all my local stretches are baron due to extreme heavy weed and cormorants, maths being one with 2 lb hoping the frost will fix it's the piking this time last year was amazing smallest fish was 7/8 but currently unfishable

Hey where did you get your net and handle from? Great video as always.

Great video buddy..do you ever come across any zander in the waters you fish..Neil

When I used to fish, perch were my favourite but I never got grips with them, literally. No matter where I tried to hold them, they would always get me. Also, they always seemed to take the hook right down and so were difficult to unhook.

Chris, as a newby, and not wanting to damage any fish I catch, I’m wanting to use barbless hooks. Do you buy your lures barbless, or do you take the barbs off, or nip them in? TIA Andy

Hope you and your family are feeling better Chris- been cursing you cos of no new uploads.

Our local canal is pretty useless for fishing now. Ravaged by Zander so no small fish ever seem to survive. You only get the odd old carp and masses of Zander. And that's about it. The biggest Perch I ever had was a smidge under 2 1/2lbs (2lb 6oz.) at Lechlade, on the River Thames. Spinning from the back of my dads boat. I'd cast directly downstream and waited till the spinner had hit the bottom then reeled in. The water was some 7 to 8 foot deep and very clear. My spinner was followed by some dark striped shapes that stopped their pursuit and disappeared down stream. So I recast to the same spot and after waiting for the spinner to hit the bottom, I reeled in, but slightly faster. Again, my spinner was followed. However, this time, I jerked the rod up to speed the retrieve and the smallest Perch from the shoal, dashed forwards and took it. That was the one mentioned above. As for the others, I'd hesitate to guess their weight. But they simply dwarfed the one I caught. Regardless. Your canal looks lovely. Nice to see a variety of fish there too. Though it looks like it's not used much by narrow boats. Hence the clear water.

Great Channel! Have you ever caught any trout?

Hey, which underwater camera are you using in your privious Videos? Thanks a lot and great YT Channel

Nice. Where I live, the canal perch won't take earthworm. Either maggot, or a soft lure, but never worms. Isn't that strangest?

i had the same problem with pike of that size 1 to 2 pound ,, 2 days ago ,in the end i left one on as live bait until a perch took it

Hey ! I just saw a video in the Inurig, its a weird wiggling worm thing and looks like it would be deadly for pike. Look it up, its pretty wild.

You could’ve used an anti-reject rig, back leads, alarms and …oh, a bivvy! But you wouldn’t have enjoyed yourself anywhere near as much. Fishing in its purest form - ace!

My nearest Canal is permanently coloured so the Perch are almost silver in colour. I can only dream about sight fishing and lure fishing generally is tough.

just a question , what i understand it was just the hook that you have warm on, you through in water , right? I mean there no flouter ? how does only hook can go so much far?

verry nice :D

Where is the canal your fishing and love the perch

You're "Accidentally" catching pike and I'm still yet to get my first 🙃

Were abouts roughly in the UK are you that water is so clear?

Where about in the UK are you. I would be good to know your locations.

I wish our canal was that clear. Ours is always like mud soup and you can't even see 2" below the surface

😻

Is it good fishing now at this time of year

Simplicity itself.

Nice vid 👍🏻What canal is this?

Some awesome Perch there pal! When you catch one do you move on or do you gish the same spot for a while? I'm still learning about Perch fishing, inknow they tend to shoal up but do they all scatter when one is caught?

hi, how the pikes' teeth did not cut your line?

@gingerfisherman do you find canals with colour and a lot of traffic any good? My localish canal is the grand union near Northampton

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

What you do is put a 2lb jack back in wth a size 4 teble attached to his top lip and there you go 😊

Could u let us no wot rivers canals streams etc wot your fishing that would b great

Where do You use to fishing? Greetings from Poland.

Are you doing a collab with Carl&alex

Is that Basinstoke canal ?

The large perch had markings reminiscent of a peacock bass

Sorry to hear about your camera mate shit when things like that happen

What reel you on fella

Hi mate, where is this canal please?

What canal are you near?

What canal you on ??

👍👍👍❤️🥇❤️👍👍👍
