I Caught SO MANY Vampire Fish From The Carp Lake W/This Rig!

[@Vk_stinkie]

Great video chris! Here in the netherlands fishing for zander is HUGE. Fishing for them is the best here in the big rivers, bigger lakes and even in the cities. A tip to improve better hooking is to use smaller baits. You can easily cut a single baitfish in two, maybe even three slices.

[@jaket4839]

I agree I fish for them regularly in south midlands and roach head allways outfishes bigger hook bait allways a decent hook up imo

[@mattgoodchild8215]

[@douglasmccoll]

Another great watch thanks Chris really enjoyed it

[@davefave4351]

A good few years back I experimented with a cage feeder packed with mashed tinned Pilchard/Sardine whilst deadbaiting, I didn't notice much difference in pick up rates (f all as opposed to f all) but I did have a heated argument with a live aboard boater who acccused me of polluting the river (I must admit the slicks I produced made it appear as though the Exxon Valdiz had gone down in the river...) 'Listen mate, that is fish oil, organic, natural, unlike the mineral and synthetic oil 💩 that you lot have no qualms about pumping into the river!'* *I didn't know whether to capitalise this as it was shouted across the Thames... Great video as always. Tight lines everyone!

Ginger I know that here in the UK we rarely keep coarse fish.and eat them but the Zander is well.loved in main land Europe and gets eaten not only in restaurants but also at home.just like carp as. We'll.when eating zander in a restaurant it is quite dear,over in Europe. I know many would say no but,it makes a good meal.many thanks for your clips ,they are 5star just like. Those of another fishing series here called FishLocker.please carry. On filming as you are. Excellent. Cheers a bunch

[@timpalmer-logstolumber1999]

The zander is considered invasive in UK, why do you return them to the water? Are those lakes exempt?

[@leftmono1016]

Not many anglers in the U.K. are going to kill fish. I certainly wouldn’t.

[@seanfraustus]

Zander can be released into established still waters. Grafham, Rutland, etc all have Zander and they're competitively fished for as part of catch and a release competitions. I think essentially if they're established and low chance of escaping to spread, they're fine. Obviously waters can remove them if undesired.

[@larsvegas1505]

I catch most of them on the float.. if im using bait that is.. when bottom rigging i use light weight (like 7 gram), open the bail and then put a stick on the line.. the fish flips off the stick on a take.. that way they dont spit so fast..

I believe I was here on this day, I was the fella who needed the boat to retrieve the tangled “carp” which turned out to be a pike 😂😂😂😂

[@Sonikks]

I've never fished for Zander. Unfortunately there isn't many places with them around me (if any!) - Why does it differ so much than pike fishing? I regularly go pike fishing using two trebles, drop-off indicators etc but yet every video Zander, it's basically a carp fishing set up with a deadbait. Little to no information on Zander imo, keen to understand why.

[@jeremyperraud1357]

In France there isn't much fishermen using a deadbait setup for zander, the majority of zander's catch are by jigging in deep water from a boat

[@martinryan8101]

Hi. Zander tend to be more finicky. They also have much smaller mouths which are really boney. Low light/ dusk can be a good time as they use their amazing eyesight. I’ve done well on 3rd of a small roach on a very long hair on a fluro hooklength and a size 10 Mixa hook. I use a light feeder rod with a quiver tip so they feel as little initial resistance as possible. Zander cannot be stocked into lakes, I believe the only lake that has a license for this is Houchins Fishable Lakes just outside Colchester. No doubt I’ll be told I’m wrong on most or all that I’ve written!

[@Sonikks]

@@martinryan8101 Interesting, thank you Martin. I need to catch one this year, they're such beautiful fish. I know the canal systems in some places are full of them. I'm in Kent, so I could go over to France and I speak French too. Beautiful fish.

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

Do you still have to kill zander in the UK rather than return them to the water?

[@danielkloc1770]

Nicely done! Do you ever go after Catfish?

[@chelelfc]

Great fishing as always...just a tip maybe...zander is sensitive fish, so maybe not grabing them for gills is not best thing to do 😉

[@baldieman64]

Fingers are inside the operculum and not damaging the gills. Same deal with pike.

[@differentfins]

Wild to hear lures are not allowed, but bait fishing is. That is the opposite of most regulations here in Canada. I know of lakes or parks where organic bait is not allowed, artificial lures only, never the other way around! Interesting

[@itsa_me_amikey]

It's because they don't want folks casting all around the fishery while the predominant focus of the lakes is carp fishing. I fish a complex that allows lure fishing from nov1 to the last day of feb, but its mainly because the rest of the year has too many carp anglers on it and there is essentially no room to cast around.

[@differentfins]

@@itsa_me_amikey Okay, that makes sense. I am used to having a lake all to myself. Where I live in central Canada lakes literally outnumber people so its common not to have rules as such or any competition. Thanks for clarifying this.

They have been tried here , I believe some yank soldier put some in a pit back in the 40s and they have been tried in other places also but they don't do well here , something to do with hours of light if I remember right, obviously highly illegal these days to introduce a non native species.

[@Catonkey1]

[@georgedawson235]

They do everywhere in the UK mate zander are invasive and could have a detrimental effect on our native populations. But I agree stunning can't be the best way and yes it must cause stress on the other fish

[@TheMortalKombatent]

@@georgedawson235 there have been studies done in uk canals that showed the introduction of zander only lead to an increased average size of baitfish. they dont effect european waters so why should they effect ours?

[@paterpeter1985]

Yes they are invasive, but so are carp. Carp have a much more ecological effects on a body of water due to their feeding behavior and people baiting heavily to fish for them. Here in the Netherlands we have them all of our waters for decades now as long as they are turbid or deep enough. We have basically the same species of fish as you. There is absolutely no noticable effect. They seem to take up their own niche
