Canal Bream Fishing

So many canals hardly see an angler these days, it's a lamentable state of affairs. It's easy to understand why some are overlooked, especially ones close to urban areas where perhaps the risk of 'interference' is perceived to be high. However, miles of rural canals pose hardly a problem, perhaps a few insufferable cyclists. Anyway, James thought he would have a crack at the Grand Union Canal at the back of Tunnel Barn Farm. Watch the video to see how he got on, it may surprise you!

Loved the film guys, delaying the strike is the equivalent of sitting on your hands when tip fishing. Well filmed again chappy, James really explains all methods in great detail.

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Another cracking video and what a lovely net of canal bream, bailiff my local canal and if only people would try them!, Stick float fishing, feeder fishing and canal fishing in 3 videos, thumbs up!, Well done on the Riverfest result mate. Danny

[@ianfirkins6460]

Great videos. I’ve been fishing 40 years and am definitely not a match fisherman, but am picking up loads of tips. Fantastic advert for the Midlands as well. Keep it up!

[@danielporto8323]

Love this video! The venue, the explanations, the fish, the ASI seatbox... Lovely! And cracking slow motion and aerial scenes too!

[@thejoker7323]

Superb episode, by far the best channel on youtube. Looking forward to the next one :)

Beautiful *Video* Congrats! Have a great week of success and good fishing! HUG!👍🎣🐟🐠

[@malcolmtaylor1821]

Such a shame our canals are neglected these days, I suppose you can see the appeal of the commercial fishery, but for me this is proper fishing at its very best, coupled with stunning peaceful scenery. Excellent video James, so relaxing to watch......Thank you!!

[@CadenceFishingUK]

we tend to agree, but there a place for everything and in time we do expect to visit 'commercials' as well.

[@chrisfoster5098]

i love canal fishing and love watching your excellent videos. thank you.

[@britishbluetess]

Now there’s a propper seatbox 👍🏻

[@boldersa]

I fish both the Grand Union and Oxford canals around the Northants/Warwicks borders and I regularly catch both bream and hybrids to over 5lb and some very big roach, as you stated it used to be mainly gudgeon and roach with an odd bream. During the 76 draught you could see all of the shoals of fish due to the water being so low and clear but there wasn't anything of that sort of size or quantity back then. Great film work and angling, really enjoyed it.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hi...plz drop James a message through Facebook if you are keen to chat further about where you fish. Chappy

[@keithclayton654]

Another great video by James and Chappy,James always explains what he's doing and why he's doing it.great camera work once again by Chappy can't wait to see the next one,and Montys becoming a star in his own right.

[@philhunt2031]

another fantastic video james....great skill level and lovely to see a great bag of fish from a beautiful stretch of canal ......

[@gleneyre668]

Another superb vid James and gang! Keep em coming, a very pleasurable watch 🎣👍

[@nigelmaidment7997]

Fantastic session, brilliantly presented and superbly filmed, those bite shots are epic! Thanks and well done

[@markwaterman8845]

Absolutely brilliant video Again.👍

[@gavingoldthorp4093]

What a cracking video! So easily watchable - well done!

[@smiff4748]

What a cracking session James. Once again yet another great video and as usual it was a pleasure to watch you catch. Chappy is second to none for camera work so 10/10 lads, keep up the superb video's. Tight lines

[@garykeighley712]

Great to watch i love fishing on the Canal , and as you said it’s definitely neglected 👍

[@00markelliott00]

Cracking video James and Chappy...and mischievous Monty.

[@hullpestcontrol9162]

I looking forward to watching these on You Tube, they are so watchable. James is a credit to Cadence and fishing.

" U R STAR" I love it all (and the Dog) very informative !!! happy Cadence brand to have HIm with You !

[@trevoror8668]

If consistency is the name of the game James you have it sorted. Fish film work relaxed and smiling a lovely way to spend an hour mate looking forward to the next one thanks again

[@CadenceFishingUK]

We come to blows and argue all day actually.😉🤣 Chappy

[@trevoror8668]

Cadence Fishing UK yep is that why James has shades on hide them black eyes LOL you both put on a really good show. The best side of KZbin laters

[@robertwren8878]

He caught more than that i know! We should all get back on those canals,now!

[@JeffOrtega33]

Thanks James and Cadence team for another top class video. I think canals have become pushed back in choice sadly some great sport to be had

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Quite correct Jeff, maybe it might be the fact that there are a few potential 'risks', and /or some walks are longer to reach swims?

[@nathanminter9641]

what a lovely session well done

[@davidflynn666]

Brilliant video as always. Problem i have is my local canal is about 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away we are not blessed with canals in cambridgeshire and suffolk.

[@KevRoulson]

Fantastic again James spot on

[@philiptaylor664]

Cracking video from a top angler, keep them coming James, Chappy, and of course Monty

[@CadenceFishingUK]

The dog is of no help😉

[@philiptaylor664]

😄😄😄

[@FishingMadDad]

Awesome James

[@iang953]

Well I havent fished for over 20 years but spent the last few evenings watching your videos James, Chappy and of course Monty. I am truely inspired to get back out there and have another go. Rivers were my first love back then and I am currently trawling every sales site trying to piece together some kit. Great stuff guys and keep them coming I am hooked.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hope you can check out the cadence range of super value for money kit too. We love to inspire folk. Cheers

[@AndrewsKnots]

Beatiful! A big thumbs up!

[@giacomomei7203]

lol at Monty @ 27:46 , amazing video as always guys...

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Woof

[@robthomas2133]

Lovely video. Canals are so neglected as you say. I regularly have my local trent and mersey canal to myself and it is simply full of bream and roach. I think my shakespeare flavia pole is as old as your seatbox but still going strong for canal sessions :)

[@williamboulby1461]

I love your dog, he is so well behaved on the bank, he obviously can't leave your side. The videos are excellent, so many natural venues and what I would call "real fishing" just what I love to do. Try doing another piece on the Aire and Calder at Pollington in the autumn/winter with Paul, lots of Roach and Bream.

[@33bluearmy]

Superb video thank you 👍

[@nolanpeter2748]

Another great vid, had a day like that on staff & Worcs two anglers either side could only catch roach!

[@smitbar11]

Good video with James, also Monty on the 'mooch'.

[@handyhelpingchannel8031]

I’m about to go down Chichester canal haven’t been there since I was 10 and remember catching a lot of small different species 😁

[@markryan8478]

Real fishing great vid

[@matthewbrown5677]

Top fishing James... My ASI is coming out again.

[@suddenelite]

What an amazing day! Who makes the floats James and who would have thought that a green tip would be so visable?

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hi Mark, they are made by Paul Power. Let me know if you want contact details. Cheers James

[@captainchaos2671]

great first catch well done

[@daveberry2177]

hey fantastic video, may i please ask what size shoe you are,

[@carrytheworldnonprofit2883]

I'm always amazed at the speed you catch fish. I mean, the amount you can catch is enormous compared to what we catch here in Veurne (Belgium). In the canal where I live it sometimes takes an hour to catch one fish (if I'm lucky) I'm always wondering if I'm doing stuff wrong or if it's just a weird place to catch fish.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Don't overlook editing may condense time. However, on this occasion James really did catch frequently, as in one every few minutes. Right place, right time and a skilled angler in James. It's impossible to compare venues it has to be said, fish populations do vary and these are good pegs in the canal shown in this video. Follow the advice James offers and keep on improving. Cheers.

[@davefeeney4576]

Like the pole roller sited at the side,save all that cyclist dog Walker pole trouble

[@davidsteer1941]

I've just re-started fishing. Loving the waggler, just don't want to do a pole...........

[@frcutler9798]

Nearly as good as the razza James.Congrats to chappy for his contribution,and monty,woof woof.

[@brianboczko7169]

After a bad week you do put me in a good place outstanding love that pole your costing me a lot of money going have to get me one

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Can't take it with you mate🤣

[@steveames8286]

Need more nets James lol .

[@jean-patrickspiegel7853]

Mouture is the French word for milling. So « Fine Mouture » is a fine milled groundbait. Greets from 🇫🇷

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Yep. Merci.

[@Fishwish]

Wow what a well made video. Informative as well as entertaining. Was this professionally done or did you do it on your own? As for ‘where are all the small fish?’, that must be worrying. The remaining fish benefit and get bigger. Once those bigger ones are gone though, there will be nothing.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Thanks for the kind words. James works with a cameraman who also edits the videos. There are small fish and nature will always revive a water. Just a few years of missing year classes of fish allowed the larger ones to flourish.

[@Fishwish]

@@CadenceFishingUK nature will certainly take it's course, but ecological changes to habitat, interspecific competition and predation etc., can be long lasting...which can be a good thing as much as a bad thing. We are very lucky to have the canal systems, that's for sure.

[@raflem6304]

Cool video. I learned some good Tips

[@simonchaddock3694]

Can you get puller kits for your pole as you dont appear to be using one on this session

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Yes, they are not always needed of course.

[@AndreasLiljegren]

Great vid! A bit more b roll if i may ask for that!?! :)

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hi Andreas, good point you make. This one made for some tricky decisions on my part. James was keen to put across a lot of fishing action and fishing info' and so he did, and the length of the video was becoming a bit of an issue...nearly forty minutes of pure talk/action, so a cut back on B roll was inevitable. Next week's will more than make up though I hope ! Cheers. Chappy.

[@AndreasLiljegren]

Super! Waiting for the next vid!

[@gazb9179]

Monty loves the fish. I seen him on another video trying to lick the chub James was catching 🤣

[@bikergal8985]

27:47 Please tell me you saved them haha Naughty Monty!

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Hmm. Yes the pole top kits survived.

[@bikergal8985]

@@CadenceFishingUK glad to hear it! My fella decided to drop his phone in the pond last weekend. 2 snapped landing net poles later, He fished it out with his hands haha

[@pmay222]

proper seatbox...i still use my plastic galaxy.. .. .. lovely netfull. . if only it happened in a match...... .. ..

[@captainchaos2671]

how important is it to purchase a water wanderers permit?

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Important 👍but I don't think you'll get bothered

[@michaelhayes3721]

I like the cadence caps could you send me one..lol..

[@hollythebo]

Is that green paint on your top kit?

[@CadenceFishingUK]

Where you seeing that David?

[@hollythebo]

@@CadenceFishingUK 37:55 are they not green marks? I could be cracking up if not.

[@CadenceFishingUK]

@@hollythebo green tippex or float tip recolourant

[@CadenceFishingUK]

It’s Sensas float paint, couldn’t find my tipex so improvised! Cheers James

[@hollythebo]

@@CadenceFishingUK thanks guys. Going to have to get some I think.
