I've discovered drop shot fishing over the last couple of months, and have mainly been catching perch and jacks by moving the rig along nearside canal weed growth, finding fish holding close to the edges or in weed bed gaps. I now see how to work the rest of the water, which I will try. Thanks for posting, really useful.

Yup thinking about it right now ! I am a fly fisher and have been for a good few years but local waters to Warrington are all about 45mins drive and either stocking is light or they have been pricked a few times and it seems to be getting harder to have a few pulls than it used to be . I used go spinning for pike 30 years ago but things appear to have moved on and with canals being local ( LYMM ) perhaps I think it may be worth the investment to supplement my fix 👍😂🎣 . The way you sat down and described the method was excellent and later I will be seeing if you have other videos ect .Thanks again for your kind efforts 👍

hi mustafa, the short answer is no, it's a specialist rig for predators like pike and perch. I know carp will chase fry now and again but it's not really a very good method for catching them. I've seen them caught on dropshot rigs but only on commercial fisheries which are overstocked and have far too many fish in them👍

hi Ronnie, the hook i'm using in this video is a size 6, for dropshot with small lures of 2" or less a 6 or an 8 is perfect mate👍 I personally wouldn't use a 5 turn water knot, in this dropshot video you've commented on i'm using a grinner knot on either side of the spinshot hook, if you don't have a spinshot just use a palomar knot instead, these are both tied with fluorocarbon and the fluoro is attached to the braid with a 'shock leader knot'. All the knots are on this channel mate, just bring up a list of all the videos and have a look for them👍

@MarkCarp
@MarkCarp 5 жыл бұрын
you don't need to use the rig with fluoro at all Stephen, before fluoro came along it was mono like maxima or even a wire uptrace if you were dropshotting for pike. having used it both ways there's no way i'm going back to mono, the fluoro wins hands down, it gets you a lot more bites, you can use mono below the swivel if you want but I wouldn't expect to get as many bites as a full fluoro rig👍🎣

@MarkCarp
@MarkCarp 5 жыл бұрын
I know exactly what you mean Stephen, I've had the same problem myself, that's why I switched to the spinshot hook in the video because it's easier to change out without changing the whole rig. i'd still stick to fluoro though, if necessary you could use a higher breaking strain for the bottom section, the advantages of a line that's pretty much invisible to fish far outweigh having to do a re-tie now and again. it is a bit on the brittle side though, I just try and take care when moving the weight and try to get a few sessions out of it👍 the other thing you can do is tie up a few rigs ready and keep them in a wallet ready to use, that should help minimise the time it takes to change.

hi dan, yes you can do dropshotting any time you want, in fact it's more a summer thing, because its warmer and the fish are more willing to chase a lure, you catch a lot more in summer than in winter, on average i'd say 3 to 4 times more fish in summer than in winter. It's only nutters like me that take it up when it's gone cold, trouble is there are carp, barbel and catfish to go for and I prefer them in summer👍 give it a go any time you want mate👍🎣

not much in the way of similarity between a zig and the drop shot paul, apart from the fact that you fish your baits off the bottom, drop shot is quite unique, it allows you an awful lot of control when it comes to how close to the bottom you work the lure, you set the distance from the weight to the lure so you can keep it in a tight range, its a great rig for fishing round structures because you can slow your retrieve right down and literally leave the lure in the same place and just twitch it👍

I see a fair amount of anglers concerned about fish taking and not knowing they've gotten a bite with perch. The perch around my parts must be different because they snatch and run with it and immediately set themselves on the drop shot rig and you know they've taken the bait immediately. They also have a habit of taking the moment you hit the water or not at all.
@MarkCarp
@MarkCarp 5 жыл бұрын
I've had it all mate, taking on the drop, following a lure in and snatching it at the last second, on some days they've been so finicky you have to leave the lure static to get a bite and on others they'll be super aggressive and hit everything. one thing I've noticed if they are under pressure and have been fished for regularly, I seem to get a few bites very early in the session then it dies pretty quickly and it's time to move on. if I suspect a bite but i'm not sure I usually leave the lure static for 10 seconds or so before restarting the retrieve, sometimes they'll take it static, others they'll hit it when it starts moving again and sometimes they just won't entertain it👍😁

cheers chris/dave, i've had better results this winter but its been tough going, the colder than usual temps have meant I've struggled at times and this session was typical of my winter fishing in general, lots of effort for little reward!. It was just my luck i filmed this when the temps had plunged.

everyone i know has said the same, it's not been the best winter that's for sure, still, the beast from the east is leaving and it will soon start warming up👍

thanks jon, a change is as good as a rest mate and a bit of lure fishing through the winter months breaks up the year, i'm chomping at the bit to get at those carp now though, the sooner the beast from the east clears off and the weather warms up the better👍

Mark you fish much to heavy now you drag youre droplead, you must feel the differens between bodem and bait. With all respect theres much to learn in the future. I fish much lighter UL after a few years dropshotting theres the fun even an Pikes depens on your light quality gear is awsome. And every knot is an weak link if you use thin lines for natural behavior if you want to use the light baits. To much slack and you dont feel anything keep in controle with youre reelhandle let the tip do the work ( tic youre tip and controle the braid with the reel My tip to you m8 it really works, the bait moves much faster the killer for Perch. Nice Quality video Mark and hope youre enjoy dropshotting its wunderfull to do and you dont need much to carry, my regard to you 😎

thanks Richard, yes i do tend to fish far too heavy and i'll be sorting that issue out in the future. It's funny you should say about the slack because I've already noticed i get more bites when i'm in tighter control, thanks for the input, it's much appreciated👍

cheers mate, not sure what it's like down your way but the fishing has been really hard this winter, i do all my films in one trip and i catch what i catch on the day and this vid is the norm for me, lots of fishing for not much reward, it's been the same for a few of my mates too, we all seem to be struggling to catch much this winter.

I find winter is hard in general.on my local river chelmer perch and bait fish are everywhere but come winter you really have to work to find them!! But on the pike water I'm fishing days are hit and miss as well they are ever hard on it or you can't buy a bite . Just gotta put the graft in mukka .

too true mate, i can live with the graft, sometimes it's just getting out and being there, i get quite ratty if i don't get a few hours in each week so the slow fishing doesn't put me off👍
