FEEDER FISHING ON THE GLOUCESTER CANAL

[@stephenmcloughlin2901]

Good luck in the festival. Have a good time, you deserve it.

Thanks mate,I hope you’re doing ok Steve 👍

Why not un hook the eel instead of just snapping the line and leaving the hook in ?

[@enjoyyourfishing]

It had gone through a hole in my landing net and I couldn’t reach it,I new the weight of the eel would snap my light hook length easily. The eel was deep hooked so I wouldn’t have used a disgorger on it anyway,I’d have cut the line but I couldn’t reach it to cut close enough. Using a disgorger on a deep hooked eel causes more damage than just snapping the line. The canal is 14ft deep in the edge so I wasn’t going to over reach and fall in

That look's like hard fishing there Keith, but you did catch a few well done Thank you

After fishing the festival I’d take that weight in the national mate,there were lots of areas on the canal where lads struggled to put a pound together. Thanks for watching James 👍🎣
