Catch Bigger Fish On Your Canal With This Method!

Catch Bigger fish on your canal with this method! This session I hit the local canal in search of some bigger fish on course tactics. That being the classic waggler. Something most of us start out doing when it comes to course fishing in the UK. In this video I talk through the method, baits and rigs to be able to catch some real nice fish from the canals. And obviously catch plenty to prove the method works. Hope you enjoy!

Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

Love this channel, just shows how fishing should be. Easy to get swallowed up in carp fishing or match fishing but this is what it’s all about really.

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

[@kennyman9065]

Couldn’t agree more!! I used to be mad for match fishing, until I realized it was more like work than pleasure! Now I enjoy a few hours with my son and I’ve got the love back!👍🏻

[@leafysfishing]

@@The_ginger_fisherman do you think corn will work well on the canal.. small banded pellet? Love the video too.

[@ETH85]

What do you define as carp fishing ? I fish for carp in margins on floats using bread, corn etc even freelining.. not all carp anglers sit behind alarm all the time some of us still rock the old school methods when the conditions favour it.. Match fishing is the worst of the worst fishing going.. cramming nets full, ragging fish in quick as possible and have more gear than carp anglers to sit catching peckers all day

[@moose1419]

@@ETH85 I think he means more like a 2/3 rod setup and bivvie style carp fishing.

[@jamesjohnson7905]

Just perfect Chris and highlighting the fact that you don't need to spend a fortune on bait to catch some great fish . I had a good day yesterday on the canal using liquidised corn with single corn on the hook aldis finest

[@jonathansutcliffe-bland4655]

I add a tin of condensed milk... Bream love it!!

[@jamesjohnson7905]

@@jonathansutcliffe-bland4655 never thought of that I'll definitely give it a go thanks

[@davebolan7282]

Sweetcorn blended with condensated milk (carnation) and a few tablespoons of custard powder, puts a sweet cloud into the water with tiny bits of sweetcorn in it creating a nice carpet of food on the bottom.

This is good Chris. I’m a fellow ginger, but I don’t have the knees for a lot of hiking and roaming across the countryside. So this kind of feeding session interests me. Much appreciated, and thanks

Makes a big change to see an upload using the float. Really nice. Have become so used to seeing you stalking pike and chub using lures. Very interesting and informative mate and a little surprised using bread that no tench ended up in the keepnet. Thanks for uploading and I bet you are happy with some better weather to sit back and film in. Keep posting mate, really enjoy them

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks mate. I absolutely love general course fishing. Problem is it never does too well on the channel compared to predator fishing, but I'll definitely be doing more over the warmer months. I'm also surprised I didn't get a tench to be fair

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

This was brilliant really enjoyed and just subscribed. I’m only just getting into Fishing and I’ve been fishing with a pole. I guess it’s dependent on what part of the canal you fish, but would you advise fishing in the middle for bigger fish or in the margins? Also size 14 rig about right for the canal?

I've recently tried catching Tench with waggler and lift method. For some reason the method technically worked (waggler lifted nicely on a couple bites) but still I didn't get the fish hooked. Not quite sure yet why so. Had one BB split shot about 4" away from the hook on a 4g waggler. The remaining 3.4g were more or less evenly distributed across the main line, partially fixating the waggler. Would be awesome if you could show how to properly rig up for lift method fishing some time. Cheers, Jan

There's one more easy bait for bluegills, and such fish, you can use hotdogs, just buy the cheapest hotdogs not the beef version, because it doesn't have enough fat in it. Remember that when you're fishing always have fun mate.
