This Bridge Was STACKED With BIG PERCH! Canal Fishing Dream!

This session I hit the canal with the lures in search of elusive big perch using lures only! Throughout the session I share some hits and tips when it comes to targeting post spawn perch, but I never expected the session to go this well! Especially when I found the honey hole!

Your videography is absolutely brilliant. It’s very easy to sit and watch without paying much attention to the amount of time these must take to film and edit.

[@harrybosch5720]

Chris, your presenter style is spot on. Even if I didnt like fishing Id still watch and listen. Good on you mate.

Excellent hat trick of big canal perch Chris. Mission accomplished. 🙂👍

[@ToCatchAPredatoryFish]

This man does not miss! 😅 loved the informative style of this vid - felt like I was watching a classic Matt Hayes show from back in the day!

[@paula-bm3oq]

If you used bared hooks ...you would lose a single fish .Ripp its mouth out ......but old ginger doesn't care

[@seanfraustus]

@@paula-bm3oq chill out ya noddy. Absolutely clueless

[@GreatBarrWolf]

Such a professional seasoned fisherman 💯 I will be watching more of him.

[@justtinkering6054]

I CANNOT get over the size of the perch that you catch consistently. Amazing! Great camera work too. Another great video. Keep up the good work.

[@crashnburnband]

Superb. I had my third 3lb Perch in 51 years of fishing 2 days ago and it was a perfectly conditioned stunner. They are special fish. Two of those three were caught on worm the first one on dead bait.

[@stellajayne]

Another great video of a great session. I don't know if you actually get any income from your KZbin channel Chris, but if you do, I'm pleased for you because you absolutely deserve it - your love for angling and the respect and care for the fish you catch shines through, you impart shedloads of really useful knowledge, and your filming, editing and production skills are top notch and presumably self-taught? Best of all, you inspire people to get off their arses and go out and have a go. I ever meet you in a pub, a pint is definitely coming your way, cheers.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thank's for the kind words buddy it's very much appreciated. This is actually my full time job and has been for almost 3 years now. Best job in the world but it's none stop. A lot of people don't know this but I actually took media production and conservation courses at college. The aim was to go into Wildlife documentary production which was my dream. So thinking about it I'm almost doing what I'd set out to do at 16

[@wilfwilliams]

Couldn’t agree more !

[@skipzx]

what an awesome video! Mate I haven't watched one of your videos for ages but your presentation style and videography has been next level in this one!

[@danhall3200]

Awesome session. Took me years to catch a 2lb+ canal perch, then had 2 in an hour from the same spot, biggest was 2lb12oz, they were backed up by 2 more fish just under the 2lb mark. Was probably the best hour of fishing I've ever had. Theres something really special about a real big perch.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Nothing is bigger than a big perch! 💪

[@tom-n8y1u]

Mint that mate!! You had any big roach?

[@ericallison4494]

Fellow Ginger here. I grew up catching Yellow Perch in Upstate New York, in the US. We lived in the Finger Lakes region on Keuka Lake. When I was a kid, the water was so clear that you could see the bottom clearly in 20 feet of water. We could jig for em by site. Awesome memories. Thanks for taking me back in time. I'd love to fish that bridge. Awesome spot!

[@MrHemp55]

You have no chance of fishing that bridge as he doesn’t explain we’re he is

[@ericallison4494]

@@MrHemp55 well, I live on the other side of the planet. So, I will, for sure, never find it. Besides, if he gave locations, people would ruin his spots.

Awesome video mate! As an Englishman living in Australia your videos are always very nostalgic for me. Keep up the good work.

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Absolutely Awesome Chris, cracking Perch! Well done 👏🎣

[@ernsthorn2788]

I must admit, even though we don't have perch where I live (Alaska) it's so much fun watching your interesting videos. I fished for them as a child in the western U.S. but the biggest one I've ever landed was about the size of your smaller one. Rock on ginger guy!

[@TheBudgie29]

Another great session again Chris. Lovely Perch from the Canal. As we all know Perch do not like bright light. And It Is even worse If the sun comes out. So always look for anything over hanging the water, producing a nice dark area for them to congregate In. Plus bait fish will also go these places for protection as well. Keep 'Em Coming.

[@TheMercian01]

Nice catch. Quite envious of the clarity of your canal, ours is alway murky and when the boats start i just go home and get breakfast

[@likilikiki]

Come to Holland if you want to catch some real biguns. 😁

Some lovely perch Chris. Great bit of fishing 👍 them new lures done the job.

[@RecapTVseries]

Exciting adventure! Subscribed to your channel and eagerly awaiting more videos. It's thrilling to see your pursuit of big perch using lures only, especially when you hit the honey hole unexpectedly. Can't wait to learn more about your tactics and experiences targeting

[@reggieles]

I don’t rlly go lure fishing but I went float fishing today in the grand union canal caught 4 perch on worms in the same sport decent size ones love your videos have a great day ❤❤❤

I absolutely love the SG4 series Rods from Savage gear. I have multiple versions of them including a light game travel rod. Just phenomenal rods. Great video again man! Love watching your videos 💪🏻👍🏻…unfortunately it’s closed season in the Netherlands now 😊

I like this guy doesn’t just show you what he,s catching he shows you his tactics his baits and set ups You could also tell us where about your actually fishing on these canals

[@Catonkey1]

you wont find many fishermen willing to share their spots, it takes a lot of effort to find them. He just said he covered 16 miles to find those fish.

[@DeeEgginton]

[@64althor]

Fantastic,l ! perch is my favourite fish to catch, but being more of a fly fisherman these days, I haven't caught one in years, but my local reservoir has been spilling a few into the river I mainly fish, so hopefully it won't be to long before I have another one if these beauties in my net

[@Zielash]

I’m catching these with a lighter rod same series. Great results on one day fishing ! Congrats!

[@monkey_ish4117]

I caught my PB in a canal here in the netherlands. 45cm 1+kilo. Upgraded my PB that day 3 times. First was 38cm second was 42 and my PB from 45cm. Caught my first ever zander and had my first ever pike on the line. Can't wait for the season to open up.

[@michaelprice4159]

Every time I watch UK canal fishing they look lovely my local canals are a disgusting deep rusty colour

[@catalickconverta6823]

Canals are fishing sick lately had a right afternoon yesterday, caught 9 bream on bread and corn and then i caught what i thought was a chub but on closer inspection it was actually a grass carp around 5 lb

Great video mate ...and lovely fish! I'm a member on that stretch too now but haven't had much luck at all, as yet. I only started lure fishing about 6 weeks ago, so still learning a lot. I'll hopefully get back down there tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed 🤞 Also I've met up with Bill Hurst a couple of times and I'm impressed by what he catches on micro lures! He gave me a handful to try, last week and it's surprising what shows an interest in something so small! 😁

Great session Chris like always Week ago accidentally i beat my pb perch during session for pike I think i was big for city channel Was 43cm and 1.413kg i was absolutely amazed

[@mnd1955]

Used to fish on the Grand Union Canal by the Malt Shovel in Iver. Caught some grand old perch just below the bridge using a silver mepps rigged with a single barbless hook, or a devon minnow. I had a 6' spinning rod with a Mitchell 408. Great combo but not much use if a pike grabbed the lure.

Some good tips in there, but none of it works on the canal up in Edinburgh 😂 The waters like hot chocolate, theres boats every 10 mins, theres no locks, it's the same depth all the way, few features and the fish are never under bridges. Absolutely hopeless.

[@maplin007]

I agree , I’m near Oxford and all the canals are brown plenty of features out in the countryside but no chance of seeing anything 😂

[@potats1770]

I've caught decent sized ones and small ones last summer by using maggots. A shoal of perch would always chill by the bridge but never under it and I'd lure them to the margins with maggots to keep them interested and I'd jig 3-4 maggots till they took it. They were a bit wary as I was standing right over them 😂

[@RevnedC]
