Exploring The Forgotten Ponds (Lure Fishing)

In this video i go exploring the forgotten ponds with the light lures in search of perch, pike and anything else that might fancy taking these baits. These are so overgrown and wild it was difficult to even cast never mind fish properly. Either way the fish smashed the lures even had some topwater blowups.

YES at some point i will give myself a grade 0 and shave off this dead trim. Anyways enjoy the video haha

Congratulations fisherman you caught big and beautiful fish, this lagoon is incredible, it looks like where I fish here in Brazil. Hug and good fishing!👍🎣

[@Ch4r1i3.T]

Where abouts you from 😂😂 I say wAter not water😂😂

[@lewiscliffe434]

What rod/reel do you use mate? Looking to change my set up 🙂

[@seandaniels9168]

Can i ask a question please? ..you stated the ponds had `private` signs & you continued `..that means i can legally fish here.` ....how can `you` legally fish on a private pond friend? :)

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

@@seandaniels9168 The private fishing signs have been put up by the fishing club i am part of

[@TriviaChallenge]

Looks like heaven to me, No road noise, no bivvy encampments, just quiet, nature and fish!

[@pikingadventures2872]

Love your videos mate, they’re all different and fresh. It’s too easy to get stuck in a rut with fishing but diversifying our skills makes us better anglers! We have our own channel hunting a 20lbs Pike in Northern Ireland and your vids inspire us to keep changing it up! Keep it up! 🎣🐊🍀

[@davidbrennan4949]

Been hunting forgotten ponds in NI, pike and everything else included 😬 tight lines!

[@derekirelandsirsmokepotalo1152]

I love how polite you were when the dog's jumped into the water the owner of the dog's apologize and you just say ohh it's ok. I can't say I'd have been so nice 😂 great idea Chris Keep them coming 👍

[@darkario3747]

this new series sounds really interesting. keep going

[@justiceforsethrichwwg1wga160]

I appreciate the respect you show to the fish you catch. A true fisherman. Respect from the US 🙏🏻 🇺🇸

[@LiamDCoughlan]

Definitely interested in this series! This is how I got in to fishing by fishing little hidden ponds, only about 6-7 months ago

[@alexanderulickiy7364]

That's it! real-life authentic Fishing, as always You do! thnx a lot!

[@TheBudgie29]

You want to come around where I am, There Is Miles upon Miles of Fields. With anything from One Pond up to 10. Some are hidden under a Canopy of trees. I used to fish them like You did, when We were Kids. We would use Worms and Maggots (not really knowing about Lures) We would catch Huge Perch and roach, and One Pool Pike up to 20 Pound, and that one had carp Tench and Tons of Bullheads and Catfish and Tench and Carp and Gudgeon. One pool has Two Massive Goldfish In there. How these fish got In there Is Baffling. Someone Said On the the Feet Of the Birds. (Loads of Moorhens and Coots). Thanks for Sharing this, I suggest Float Fishing Worms, All fish Love them Nice Big Lobs. Can't wait for the Next One. PS, A good trick on a New Pond Is to Through lots of Pieces of Bread out when You get There.

[@charlieneilson1239]

Lovin’ this approach. Looking forward to this series. Cheers

[@liamstrange4939]

Keep up the fishing of little hidden gems loving your work 👍👍

This is a VERY engaging young man...I don't care if he catches anything...I just love his style......

[@alanlowndes8668]

Looking forward to your new forgotten ponds episodes. Very entertaining.

[@connorbell4004]

I recently fished a local pond that I hadn't fished since I was young and had the best afternoons fishing in a long time. Surprising how much sport you can have in such a small body of water, underrated to say the least. Brilliannt video as always!

[@watertothepeople]

Great new idea this forgotten pond series. This beautiful, wild one looks like it could hold some big tench!

[@raygrehofsky1587]

Looks like how I grew up fishing. Great show. Never leave home on a lost pond outing in summer without weedless frogs and Sluggos with no weight just dancing. Chain fish like those cant resist Sluggo. Hope to see more of great content like this.

[@carassiuscarassius140]

Lovely lake. Looks like it could hold some nice tench or even small carp? Take a float rod and a tin of corn next time?? That's what I would do anyway. Plus some maggots and bread, obviously.

[@longriderxx]

Just one of those little pike can really make your day..Thanks for the video.

[@needham831]

Excellent vid Chris. Looking forward to this new series of forgotten ponds and lakes...and I also think a float rod and traditional baits might well be worth a go here. See what else lurks in the depths...

[@daveball7476]

Good video again. Really like the underwater shots you do as I find seeing what's going on under the water interesting. Keep up the good work 👍

[@chriswarby1001]

Great stuff exploring the unknown 😀

[@Neo-cm8pb]

Wicked idea for content, look forward to more parts of the new series. Just goes to show there are still fishies in these waters. There are a couple around me that have had poachers fish the lakes but that puts the fishers off from trying them out. I have been to a couple but no luck as of yet, these videos give me hope! Thanks for the great videos!

[@jasonridyardhome]

Really enjoyed the video, that was very exciting. I'm definitely getting the pike gear out and trying some forgotten waters now. Thanks for sharing 🖒🖒🖒

[@dudleygibbs5070]

Marvelous and engaging!!!

[@frednordin7375]

Would be great to see you come back again with some top water lures next time. Some of those swims look ideal for that. Great vid as usual 👍

[@dpfisherman]

Loved that mate great work as always 👌🏻🎣

[@anthonyharrison8584]

Cracking video. More of these hidden gems please 👍👍

[@mrw9513]

Quality vlog buddy, and love the idea of this little series. Not many opportunities of the little lost venues where you have no idea of what's in there anymore. Really looking forward to the next vids. Have a great week and tight lines, best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy

[@bikerslovecurvessr9609]

Love your vids mate keep em coming fella 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@salsolo2403]

nice one cheers ,love these types of mystery ponds :)

[@andrewscrimger7548]

Top video m8 look forward to next one

[@PhilORourke]

Some great pioneering work on yr part her Ginger. Isn't it sad the way these ponds that give life to so many fish species and associated habitats are neglected like this. Often wonder were are fishing licence money is going half the time. Absolutely fascinating series thanks Ginger.

[@WildWorld1]

100% you need to do more of these!! Would be nice to see a monster come out! Tight lines mate 🎣 🐊

[@apexwaters]

best video i've watched in a while

That's a cool spot.

[@sme70]

Looking forward to more vids 👍

[@soccerstar41]

More of this matey yes please! got me to hit the sub button anyway!

[@jacqueslemiere]

it remembers me of my youth , it used to be pikes and perches lin small rivers too, in a decade there were swept off..

[@andrewpickersgill2314]

Great video, can’t help think i have fished that lake many years ago

[@martinfleet8772]

Awesome vids mate.. Keep them coming 👍

[@v2elite344]

Keep going mate I love your channel

[@markgillard2717]

Really great. Best wishes from Guangzhou !

[@tonyashton780]

This was brill Chris looking forward to next instalment. Have you considered a little blow up dinghy or back pack canoe etc to explore the water. Just a thought buddy. Stay safe all the best. Tony

[@julikenn]

wish there were a few ponds like that near me! Nice video mate!

[@fekkapa]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the video. Nice to see that there really are fish in the smaller ponds as well. Just a tip: When I fish tight spots like that I use underhanded throw mostly. It's really useful. You do need a shorter rod with nice action for it tho. I can with ease throw about 30-40m depending on the weight of the lure. Hope to see more stuff from you. Kind regards from Sweden.

[@depikebustergonewild5701]

That is a cracking wee spot that you are fishing, and ideal for the tube. I have to say tho, you are a brave man to be unhooking a pike as you did from the tube. All it takes is one wee wiggle or thrash and you could have a serious situation on your hands. I saw a guy tethered to a pike with a treble in the center of his hand, and it was nice. 😁😁😁Hooe I never have to say I told ya so😁😁😁.. Great vids. Regards Jack from Ireland

[@aquaticcolledgefishing]

Great video mate. Some violent takes 👌

[@Deathst4lker]

Cracking vid mate - nice one ! Cheers

[@sheppeyfishtales]

Caught my Pike PB a couple of days ago. Only about 8lbs but fought like a tank! Unfortunately I accidently switched off my GoPro so missed the fight. Got a bad picture on my phone at least... 😬 Great session you had there. Great watch 👍

[@uliworms990]

Nice to explore some hardly ever fished waters, “jungle style” for a change. Good job not losing lures in the weed or trees. Probably best to continue with floating or slow sinking lures and weedless softbaits. Difficult to pick best rod length: too long catches trees in overhead casts, too short and you cannot reach far enough over weed beds. Good vid!

[@joshua.mulholland]

Would love to see more of this mate, maybe try soft UL fishing for perch in some of these ponds, still have a chance of pike that way :)

[@brynmitchell5774]

After your Micro pike vid I am going to binge watch , I too search out wild and strangled ponds for pike perch Rudd and Tench. lovin what you do .The silly ponds I target are very small usually, this pond is quite big !

[@russtatt]

Nice one Chris. Really enjoyed this one. Don't forget the surface baits and the trousers next time. lol

[@pjsgonefishing1142]

Great video. Was doubting whether I should go investigate this pond I had my eyes on for a while, and your video just gave me that extra push! Keep up the good work 💪. " Skitt fiske" as we say here in 🇳🇴 Norway. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@samdieselpower]

I also have caught more the carp out of belmoore . The carp fishing at one point was brilliant. In touched 20lbers were common place. With the biggest in there been about 33lb. That last pond you was fishing is pretty good for course fishing actually. Some lovely tench in it !!!

[@alliwhitehouse778]

Love those hidden ponds. Some ideas I think could be cool. Micro set up or maybe surface lures ? Awesome video though man, really enjoyed it.

[@danielbrownlie3340]

Also loving the content too. It must be hard to get out with two kids so its really appreciated when you do put new vids up. Keep up the good work dude.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks matey :) and its 3 kids my eldest just turned 3 haha

[@danielbrownlie3340]

Jesus christ you well and truely have your hands full haha. Well even more so then, appreciate the content mate.

[@martinsandt1135]

hmmm , clicked like button after 1 minute to not forget it . . . got me hooked ;-)

[@BikingVikingMTB]

You are mint pal would love to fish with ya and learn on the job. Great vids keep um coming

[@aoifecolin]

Have to compliment your aim in between those bushes and trees have lost so many lures in the past trying to do this.

[@derekshaw2826]

Tryed a old pond recently up here in Scotland m8 full of snags and over grown it was full of big perch biggest I got was 3lb and a decent pike 8lb just goes to show there can be big fish were you least expected it keep the vids coming m8 tight lines 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video mate 👍

The best kind of fishing

Nice movie. Greetings from 🇵🇱 🤘

[@thatbikeguy7198]

Man sounded like a rocket ship 😂

[@johnnyscawfishingireland3883]

Nice video.I love fishing places like that :-)

[@beaumoore2470]

I’d like to see frogs on there, looks perfect 🤙🏻

[@derekgraziano9499]

Live target top water frogs AKA ( hoollipoppers )

[@lukephillips6577]

Fab video again thanks mate just out of curiosity do you ever do a bit of carp fishing? Just thought it might be interesting to see how you get on

[@qjarman7753]

Great video... would love to fish a water like that

[@andrewalbrighton8600]

Great video. I am getting back into the sport after nearly 40 years break . It has changed a lot so any advice is welcome especially if you going around the hidden lakes etc as I am a bit of an explorer as well.

[@benmaynard863]

Be funny if I’m one of your walking shots that you had on high heels.

[@arronfrost2872]

And a mini skirt

[@cottrell2909]

Great videos buddy. Only found your channel by chance so now I'm watching my way through all your videos. What area are you from?

[@kierangunn4568]

Nice video as usual! im looking in to buying a new spinning rod and reel as i'm tired of using a baitcaster. I'm just so stuck for choices and wondered if you have any preferences? will be using swimbaits up to around the 50-70g

[@mattwooldridge9437]

Great vid mate that like you lost looked a nice fish shame about the poaching on there a common thing as usual off the beaten track

[@thomasburras]

I think I know where you are. Nice video again cheers.

[@richarddonoghue7474]

Interesting, there’s a few places like this round near me. It would be good to see you target big perch in these types of places using different methods to see which has the most success. Live baits, worms, small lures, maggots etc.

[@BumbleCrumble]

Loving the videos, I'm just getting into fishing, do you get permits for each location you go to or do you just chance it? I'm having a bit of a mare trying to find out who owns which water!

[@therighthonsirdoug]

Great video, would be interesting to see if there are any big perch in there. What net are you using as have been looking for one like it? Thanks.

[@sokil_8112]

Hello! I am from Ukraine and I watch your videos they are very interesting!

[@majmat]

What are your favorite spinners, i love the Ondex spinners myself. I don't think i've seen you use a spinner yet, might not of seen an episode using em tho.

[@dirtharris]

Loved the video, cheers. As a sea - bass/pollock lure angler, you have inspired me to think about pike/perch fishing in the local ponds...which I have never done before. Could you recommend, say, 5 lures to get me started.... and would my bass sea fishing lures be of any use when fishing for pike?... I've always wondered. thanks!

[@PennG0VQY]

Considering there's lots of small jack pike in there, they must be coming from somewhere. There's got to be some big Momma's in there that are producing these little tackers

[@austinsharpley1733]

Fellow croc fisherman!!!!!

[@bobbyonthebank]

Big baits mate! Wanna see if a muma likes in there! 👍🎣🐊

[@msfeditz1057]

Hi bro keep the awesome work up

[@leegarner6013]

Nice! I thought at the start of this, if these waters are unexplored then WTF have you got on your feet and legs. But nope! Off you trotted through the brambles! Off your nut! 😂😂😂Great to see some nice fish in these waters. Let’s hope you can get out and explore some more! Take it easy!

[@milan_thebarber1938]

Nice video..and idea.. keep it filming video broo

[@danielwatt3464]

I have the same rod for my lighter lure fishing, 3-12g. casts really nice.

[@oni6574]

Also shallow rocky rives are my favorite, i like to to and try to find other peoples lures

[@petercalthorpe7966]

Great fish , say hi to Dom tell him we miss him .👍

[@swiggtyke8220]

Great vid again Chris ,what reel and line are you using ?

[@aaronrushton1]

great video mate not sure what lb line you are using but have you considered tightening the drag on your reel? I wind my drag down tight and just drag them in usually really reduces amount of fish lost and for bigger fish usually means they go back better too.

[@LeedsUnitedJohn]

I'm not a fisherman but i love watching the Video's. I might take it up. What a shame someone can't do anything with these ponds. What a waste.

[@kevincurrington1331]

Great 👍video more 👏please

What swim bait hooks do you use on your Berkley power swimmers ? , struggling to find a good match for 9.5cm length
