Canal MATCH FISHING - Mirfield Spring League - Round 7 - Worst Match Ever?

This week I'm back on the Aire & Calder Canal match fishing in round 7 of the Mirfield AC spring league.
If you hit play on this one, BE WARNED you're in for a grueller but, you guys asked for it, so who am I to deny you the torture I endured 🤣
Tactics would be the usual feeder fishing for skimmers and bream and pole fishing for bream and perch.
How would it go? Well I think that's pretty obvious from the video thumbnail, but if you're a sadistic S.O.B and enjoy watching me suffer, crack on 😉
If you are interested in any of the products I use or feature in the videos, I have been compiling a list of those in my amazon store.

[@jamesflynn1784]

never mind John your perseverance will pay off soon thanks for videos appreciated 👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Cheers James, no more canals for a while, the rivers are now open😁

[@ianhoward5493]

Unlucky John, it looks a nice section of canal on camera, but it doesn't mean its full of feeding fish. The boats, bright conditions and depth of water probably didn't do you to many favours, still a nice video John, it cant always be as you want it, tight lines. Ian in the Borders

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Cheers Ian. It fishes it's head off in pleasure sessions 🤷‍♀️ I don't expect to win or frame every time but I do expect a few bites at this time of year, maybe I'm asking for too much🤔

[@phillipblackham9629]

Tough day at the office John, but on to the next. Always enjoy your videos, keep em coming 👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Phillip👍

[@karldawson8402]

its a reminder to us all that fishing is a fickle beast,all we can do is keep going,please please dont take up bloody golf !!!

[@markymarkthelabman7639]

Chin up John you’re still the most informative channel on KZbin 👍👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Marky Mark - propping me chin up best I can mate 😉

[@royboy4743]

As soon as you said it’s a perch I knew it was going to be crap John ,those fish are the kiss of death ,mind you I once won a match on the witham with Tommy ruff on the wag,those were the days nothing changes much in natural venues ,chin up mate it’ll get better ,all the best ,

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Bloomin perch! Cheers Royboy 👍

[@jaron_G.]

Awesome video man! Keep it up!!🔥👍🏻

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Appreciate it! Cheers Jaron👍

Looks like the Netherlands. I also had a match yesterday. Fished for 6 hours. and also only weighed 2.7 kg. tried everything. Maggots, casters, worms. 4 maggots on the hook. Pellets. But it seems they don't want to eat. But we hold on John. better luck next time.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I'd have given my left arm for that weight Jan 😉 You're right though, the fish just aren't in the mood at the moment spawning on and off, north and easterly winds bringing the temps down and then back up, it's unsettled but most of these matches are being won with 4 or 5 bream for 20+lb, (10kg ish). Thanks for your comment and watching me struggle. Tight Lines🎣

[@stephenmcloughlin2901]

had a very slow day at Bonney Hale on the Keadby canal. absolutely full of weed. I had around a pound but didnt bother weighing them. I did learn from the winner that i shouldnt have tightened up to the feeder as it would have pulled it into the weed. good tip for the future.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I only ever put a slight bend into the tip, the feeder doesn't move once it's landed, weed wasn't really an issue until round 8 when it was free flowing and catching the line.

[@geraldhinde681]

Unlucky. Mate you gave it your best one of those days

[@timwebber65tw]

Well done mate for sticking it out, one of those days.

[@freddavis5648]

Tough day John we all have them

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yeah, just feels like I've had a lot more than others recently Fred🤷‍♀️

[@keithbrown6990]

Yeah next one John

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Keith👍

[@phillipblackham9629]

Enjoy your holiday 🤓

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Phillip👍

[@garywrighton9194]

when its tough its tough! had a few pleasure sessions down at whitley end and had some decent fish -further up on the walton section its been tough.i see my mate Andy Hampson is framing.keep plugging away john.off to lindley to catch some decent fish.

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

I know how you feel sometimes you catch and sometimes you don't, if they are there you will catch them, O well cheers mate

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I hope so James, otherwise I'm doing it all wrong 🤔

[@chrisknight7848]

I never known it fish so hard a this time of the year unlucky mate

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Think its just the pegs I'm drawing Chris, there's probably 30 percent of the pegs worth being on, the rest are hard work.

[@chrisknight7848]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel you need some Jamie Hughes luck with drawing pegs

[@jorvikangler]

It's a bit rough down the A&C these days. I was told an old chap fishing near the bridge on the opposite bank had a dozen bream while everybody in the match was struggling for bites.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yep, it's been fishing well for pleasure anglers worth a visit, I do a good job of making it look bad 🤣😉

[@jorvikangler]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel Yep the pleasure anglers midweek are taking some good bags of roach now, apparently. It's not just you there's plenty struggling in matches from the results I've seen.

[@red110tdi]

Come and fish my local park lake John some proper specimen Bream and Tench in there mate

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Sounds great, I'd love to give it a go.🎣🐟👍

[@red110tdi]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel some big ones in there mate, I know there’s been some out up to 14lb although it’s not an easy water

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Wow that is a big fish, normally the reserve of gravel pits.

[@clivecottingham2043]

Seems a real waste of time and money but you have to keep going.when all around you aren’t catching your not doing much wrong it’s just CRAP fishing.Keep up the vids mate,like listening,the set ups, filming and views.🎥

[@martincallaghan8817]

Have you taken a bunch at a black cats arse .🙈 That was a nightmare " if there not having it there not having it , now't else you can do . 👍
