Dropshot Micro Deadbaits For Canal Perch. Big Fish Landed

This was an idea i had last minuet before popping out for an evening session on the canal. Dropshot small dead baits for some of the bigger perch i've been seeing on the canal recently. It worked! No huge perch, but plenty and some good size pike too! Don't forget to subscribe for more and follow the link below to my instagram.

Nice video. 6:24 the dead bait miraculously comes back to life 😆

[@pjlogan386]

Great ,as usual,I like how you do drop shotting and take it to another level.cheers Chris.

[@all.round_fishing]

Mate! You never blank! These videos make me want to try lure fishing again, lost one pike at about 12lb on the canal before. I’m mainly a carp fisherman so that explains why I have no luck 🍀 😂

[@mk2nathan]

Makes us Carp Fisherman look like right twats does this bloke. Makes me want to try lure fishing too! If you have any suggestions on decent lightweight tackle that is cheap for this kind of light lure fishing please let me know.

[@all.round_fishing]

@@mk2nathan i use a Shakespeare firebird with 10lb line and a wire trace. They are cheap and hold up well. Small little rods so easy to carry up and down the canal no problem and just remember a landing net. Lures you can get online and multi packs for cheap. 👍

[@mk2nathan]

@@all.round_fishing Thanks for the reply mate. Also would you recommend the 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft or 10ft rod. Thinking of buying the 7. Also being totally naive to lure fishing, is this set up okay to target smaller perch as well as double figure pike? I live on the Grand Union Canal where I know people who have caught 20lb Pike from my local stretch so would be good to know before purchasing.

[@all.round_fishing]

@@mk2nathan I use the 6 but a 7ft would be perfect in my opinion. I live on the GUC aswell. Just make sure you have a bit of a loser drag so they can still run (like playing a large carp) a long wire trace and 10lb braid. Practice makes perfect. Chop and change rigs and tactics, take long walks up and down the canal, talk to other fishermen to see if they have tips for that area. Try find little nooks and weedy patches where the predators might hide 👍 hope this helps mate

[@mk2nathan]

@@all.round_fishing Seriously thanks so much for these replies, hate to ask more questions but do you use the reel that comes with the rod? If so is it any good?

Hi, what type of glasses do you use? They look super light - are they also polorized?

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

Great method to use over the dead of summer when even they aren't as active anymore and don't really want the lures. How do you like the 13 rod? They seem pretty nice, a dealer around my area carries a few of their models. I'm honestly just not keen ob their reels.

[@Blastsniper]

Their reels are crap, but the rods, specially the fast action ones are the best.

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

@@Blastsniper agree on the spinners, can't stand the feel of them - but some of the baitcasters (only dry reeled them) did have a nice touch to them. Smooth and all.

[@makssharov7789]

Хорошая щука! Респект!

[@JP-ic2ze]

If you've got the time pal, any chance of confirming the hook size so I don't go and buy the wrongs ones? Is it something like a 0/2? Guessing your using knot2kinky or a similar non branded product. I have honestly been thinking of trying something like this, but with 30lb fluro, your setup would be way safer. Cheers.

[@arturleperoke3205]

[@darcipopp5138]

Just curious. Perch and pike are a big table fair in Wisconsin and I'm wondering if you eat them there? Or do you just practice catch and release? I really enjoy your videos!

[@175966571]

Almost all pike and perch are released here in the UK - the only freshwater fish taken for the table is usually trout. Even salmon are mostly returned these days to conserve the dwindling fish stocks.

[@chervilgoacher4499]

Only Eastern Europeans dare to eat something that swims in our pollution filled waters 🤢

I always wondered, are you left handed, or in your country just this is how you use your reels? I'm from hungary, and here as a right handed person (but some left handed anglers too) uses the reels with the handle on the left. It's so strange to see it used like this for me :) Anyway, you cought really nice fishes again, and finally i hear a nice "accent" that i can understand easily

He does yes, I prefer heavy fluro leaders as they don’t kink and give me a better action on the heavy lures I use. Never had any trouble or any pike bite through them. I think I use 80-100 lbs fluro. Pre-made too so no messing about, just tie it on the line and I’m ready to fish all day.
