Fishing an old ABANDONED Quarry... Then something CRAZY happened! 😯

I couldn't believe what happened while fishing this overgrown abandoned quarry... there are some HUGE fish in here. I love fishing wild and unique places like this and for good reason, you just never know what's going to happen! I've done a lot of perch fishing in here before, mostly lure fishing, and have even caught a big one. But can we catch an even bigger fish this time? As well as my normal lures, I brought along some worms following the advice given to me by people who have fished here before. What will we catch?

You're taking adventure fishing to a whole new level these days. These little hidden waters are almost always worth the effort. Even if you don't catch, the experience is something you can't get anywhere else.

I love ponds like this. There were a few around my town in southern Lincolnshire. Sadly in recent years they've both been fenced off and posted with no fishing signs, due to a number of people caught poaching with fixed nets and long lines. One was dug by a nearby factory and fed by an adjacent drain. Originally used as a holding pond for part of their water supply, once they switched fully to main water it was full of perch and roach/dace from the drain inlet, and it was stocked with carp and tench. Speaking to older locals, we found out it was only 6ft at it's deepest and no one had really fished it for over a decade. We cut a few clearings to the bank, and cleared the weeds/snags. Managed to fish it every day for months before anyone else discovered it. The other was a holding pond next to a train line and was originally used to refill steam engines. No idea how any fish got in there, as it was miles from the river, but it was full of bream, roach, eels, and nothing else.. I can only assume they got stuck after a nearby dyke must have flooded before the relief channel for the river was built and flooding was more common. No one else ever fished there, never saw anyone or any signs anyone had been fishing there, apart from a one man boat that was always moored in a different spot... Eventually after almost a decade of fishing there all the fish seemed to vanish from one week to the next.

[@adventurefishinguk]

That sounds like you had a few really cool spots, a shame they were fenced off! The mystery about fishing these kinds of places is the best bit!

[@1ronnyky]

I worked in Quarries for 10 years as an Electrician. Every quarry has a source of fresh water and they have always been the most consistent fishing I’ve ever done. Mainly bc they’re never fished.

I'm talking about Stanhope in Co Durham, and if you love quarries then get yo butt there I shit you not you'll love it. My old man is from there and they are stocked with trout, tench, perch, carp, roach, bream and more. Trust me mate you'll love it they are right next to the river wier some of them.

I love these kind of spots. So much mystery as to what's in them. I'm watching from Canada and as soon as I saw the water, the first thing I thought was, "Brown trout!" Though I am a trout fisherman, I'm always tempted when I catch a brown to keep them because they taste so good! You got 2 wet feet, but that was a beautiful fish!

[@rowancrafts]

It was the early 1980s, species were mainly roach, rudd and perch but there was talk about pike being there as well (I never saw one). There was always water running through the tunnel so perhaps the trout migrated from the beck to the south east and up through the tunnel.

What net is that? I like the way it folds up, I wonder if we can get that in the USA

[@adventurefishinguk]

It’s from a company called rigged and ready travel rods. They have a US website called www.riggedandready travelfishing.com but I’m not sure if it’s just rods they sell on there

@@adventurefishinguk no problem my lad and I’m sure everyone will agree too !!! Haven’t done any fishing for a good few months now as been really busy with family and working away and being ill etc etc and been crazy. Things calming down now and just need some good luck and stuff to come my way … But looking forward to some family time and hopefully a few hours fishing too. All the best and look forward to the next vid 👍👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄😄😄😄😄

Hi George, I'm a big fan and I live in the Lancaster area. Just wondering if you have any tips for catching Perch (on lures) in the winter as I'm struggling. Are they in different locations to the summer or should I be using different lures. Great video, by the way. That spot looks so peaceful and beautiful.

I’m from Lancaster, perch are tiny in our canals

[@adventurefishinguk]

They will tend to be more concentrated in places with more structure and deeper basins etc! In winter maybe try to slightly increase the size of your lures and slow the retrieve. The lure I used here bounced slowly across the bottom will worth well

[@user-vp1lw7ud9b]

@@adventurefishinguk I'll try bigger lures and deeper spots then, thanks

Dont piss about in quarries on your own, always go in a pair or more. I lost a friend to a quarry. Be safe going to these places!

[@adventurefishinguk]

Sorry to hear about your friend, don’t worry about me I’m always safe!
