Hi, thanks, I’m not sure I do, but I’ll bear it in mind next time I get a chance to go fishing.

Hi, I guess we’ve all got slightly different approaches. I generally try to get them unhooked quickly and back in the water.

Hi, thank you. The landing net is the smallest folding one that Westin make. I’ve had it for a few years now, works well for canal bank fishing.

Thanks, probably a bit of both 😂

Hi, thank you 🙂

Hi, thank you. I’m using a 6lb braid and 5lb flouro leader for most of this session. The lures are a combination of ultralight leeches and grubs from AGM lures. I think the brand of the lures is Crazy Fish.

Hi, thank you!

Hi, the rod is a Westin W6 jerkbait rod, 6ft6”. The reel is an Abu Garcia revo beast. Probably a bit heavy for the canal really, I tend to fish with lighter gear these days 🙂

Hi, I vary how I retrieve the lure. Sometimes I leave it on the bottom, sometimes mid-water. It might not show in the video but I do put quite a bit of movement into the very small lures through the rod tip.

Hi, I use 6lb braid and I use an 8lb single wire titanium trace. I use AGM lures for micro lure clips and swivels, making a trace the same way you would for big pike just scaling it right down. I think the titanium is Cahira Nitinol, I buy a few metres at a time for a few pounds.

Thank you mate,

Hi, thank you. Very similar to the last one, this time of year I do like to fish as light as possible.

You can’t go wrong with some ultralight lures, good luck 🙂

​@@reellures2770 It worked cheers

Haha, always lures! Thank you 🙂

Hi, I use AGM Lures for most of the ultra light jig heads. The 0.5-1gm tungsten jig heads are very good, especially with the little leach lures.

Hi, absolutely. I’m not chasing big fish, just a bit of headspace and the chance to relax.

Hi, thank you. It is a bit nuts thinking you can land a 9Kg Pike and a 9gm Perch, the range in performance is significant. I think the reel has to take a lot of credit as well, the Aldebaran is an awesome bit of kit.

Hi 👋, thank you !

Hi, in terms of lures I’ve used the Suick is definitely up there with the most bizarre 😁, but it works. You cannot beat that top water strike, especially if you’re lucky enough to get near a decent sized fish.

Hi, thank you 🙂

Hi, thank you !

Thank you 👍

Hi, I know exactly where you mean. I’ve had one trout from there on a worm Lure. It took ages and they spooked very quickly 😁

@@reellures2770 I think we all must have had a go at them. Yes so easily spooked but you see them and think ‘yeah I’ll have a go’ 😄

Every time I walk past 😁

Hey Fred, likewise! We ended up with a grand total of 4 tonight 😁

Hey, yes I did give that a go this evening, sadly no bites. I will get there though 🙂

I ended up with 2 nice ish perch a wasp 2 roach abs s baby bream was hard work though

Ha! Me too . Another great video Jamie. Have a great weekend

Thanks gents, I will find the perch!! 😁

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you

Hi, are you lure fishing ?

@@reellures2770 Yes and float.

I don’t tend to float fish, but I’ve found downsizing the lures works quite well. Also slowing the retrieve. The biggest difference for me was going a lot lighter in presentation, braid and trace for example both under 10lb breaking strain.

@reellures2770 I was up there in them spots on the weekend, after some pike but I had a few knocks from some lively perch on my smaller lures.

The bites will come I’m sure 🙂

Hi, thank you. Fingers crossed for this bank holiday weekend. Hoping it doesn’t rain all the way through.

@@reellures2770 it's looking good for now perfect conditions with it being overcast might take a trip up to the canal myself this evening and theres always Bridges to jump under for shelter 👍🎣🎣

Yeh, I’m keeping an eye out. I’ve got a load of BFS lures inbound for some testing as well, although I think they’ll be here next week now.

Hi, we fished for about 2.5-3 hours. Probably walked about 2 miles in total. Most of my sessions are max of 3 hours. Very occasionally I’ll go out for a longer session, although that tends to be winter when the fishing is tougher.

Hi, it can definitely be a tricky time of year. There is no alternative for getting out and exploring a few different spots. It’s taken me a long time to build up a mental map of the local places where I think there may be a few fish. Good luck on your next session 👍

@@reellures2770 perch and pike are what I am after, I kept casting lures and soft plastics into snags and underhangs and it was so difficult. It was frustrating when I see actions on the surface today but either they just didn't feel like taking my baits or my cast was just not close enough to the snags.

You’ll find them, it can sometimes take a little while to crack the code, when you do you’ll appreciate it 🙂

Hope to see the first fish of my season sooner. Thank you and tight line for you

Yeh, we were fishing through pretty quickly. It’s definitely starting to pick up, this time of year can be awesome. I’ll hopefully get a session in this weekend.

Hi, it varies, eBay or the Lure Box, basically wherever I can find the best deal 😁

@@reellures2770 I’ve tried these sites, but can’t get hold of the blue ones you seem to be doing so well on.

Now that pattern is really difficult to find. I haven’t been able to buy those for quite some time. I’ve been using the ‘chilli cheese’ colour, thats been doing well for me.

Yeh, I haven’t found many perch just yet. I’ll keep looking.

Hi, thank you !

Oof - that’s a long stretch with no bites. I’m almost certain you weren’t doing anything wrong. I’ve found that weather seems to be the biggest influence. While the water is still cool I’m fishing on the bottom most of the time. If it’s sunny then I’ll fish the shady spots. I’ll do my best to avoid boat traffic. Honestly I rarely fish for longer than 2-3 hours, if I don’t get a bite relatively quickly I’ll move on. I am going to try a couple of evening sessions this week to see if I can get anything out closer to home. If I can turn it into a video I’ll try and explain what I’m doing I a bit more detail 👍

Thank you

Yes I know what you mean. I will say that the quality of these lures is high, I’ve still got 4 or 5 of the blue and white colour that I bought probably 3 or 4 years ago. You’ve given me an idea though, maybe I could do a comparison with an equivalent style at a much lower price point. The reason I like the lures is the action, they work like a soft plastic spinner. I haven’t yet come across another that works in the same way.

Good luck, you’ll have to let us know how you get on.

I see what you did there…. 😁

I have a selection of different swims, all within 20 minutes of where I live. I tend to choose based on the weather and a guess of what the conditions will be like if I head north or south. Sometimes it works, sometimes it’s a bust 😁

I need to find the perch ! 😬

Easier said than done struggling not were I expect them to be for me anyways
