Fishing an old ABANDONED Quarry... Then something CRAZY happened! 😯

I couldn't believe what happened while fishing this overgrown abandoned quarry... there are some HUGE fish in here. I love fishing wild and unique places like this and for good reason, you just never know what's going to happen! I've done a lot of perch fishing in here before, mostly lure fishing, and have even caught a big one. But can we catch an even bigger fish this time? As well as my normal lures, I brought along some worms following the advice given to me by people who have fished here before. What will we catch?

I love ponds like this. There were a few around my town in southern Lincolnshire. Sadly in recent years they've both been fenced off and posted with no fishing signs, due to a number of people caught poaching with fixed nets and long lines. One was dug by a nearby factory and fed by an adjacent drain. Originally used as a holding pond for part of their water supply, once they switched fully to main water it was full of perch and roach/dace from the drain inlet, and it was stocked with carp and tench. Speaking to older locals, we found out it was only 6ft at it's deepest and no one had really fished it for over a decade. We cut a few clearings to the bank, and cleared the weeds/snags. Managed to fish it every day for months before anyone else discovered it. The other was a holding pond next to a train line and was originally used to refill steam engines. No idea how any fish got in there, as it was miles from the river, but it was full of bream, roach, eels, and nothing else.. I can only assume they got stuck after a nearby dyke must have flooded before the relief channel for the river was built and flooding was more common. No one else ever fished there, never saw anyone or any signs anyone had been fishing there, apart from a one man boat that was always moored in a different spot... Eventually after almost a decade of fishing there all the fish seemed to vanish from one week to the next.

[@adventurefishinguk]

That sounds like you had a few really cool spots, a shame they were fenced off! The mystery about fishing these kinds of places is the best bit!

[@thetattooedangler]

You're taking adventure fishing to a whole new level these days. These little hidden waters are almost always worth the effort. Even if you don't catch, the experience is something you can't get anywhere else.

I love these kind of spots. So much mystery as to what's in them. I'm watching from Canada and as soon as I saw the water, the first thing I thought was, "Brown trout!" Though I am a trout fisherman, I'm always tempted when I catch a brown to keep them because they taste so good! You got 2 wet feet, but that was a beautiful fish!

Hi George, I'm a big fan and I live in the Lancaster area. Just wondering if you have any tips for catching Perch (on lures) in the winter as I'm struggling.

I’m from Lancaster, perch are tiny in our canals

They will tend to be more concentrated in places with more structure and deeper basins etc! In winter maybe try to slightly increase the size of your lures and slow the retrieve. The lure I used here bounced slowly across the bottom will worth well

It was the early 1980s, species were mainly roach, rudd and perch but there was talk about pike being there as well (I never saw one). There was always water running through the tunnel so perhaps the trout migrated from the beck to the south east and up through the tunnel.

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked it!

[@araven3888]

You ever tried live bait with circle hooks? So much fun and had more luck with lives than lures...

[@adventurefishinguk]

I’ve never tried it no, people keep telling me to use roach for big perch and pike but I’m not sure I have it in me! Maybe one day

[@alfredshearing6793]

Where do the fish come from in the first place?

[@adventurefishinguk]

Someone must have put them in there a long time ago, probably bucket full of small fish sort of situation and they’ve multiplied

[@nigel5755]

How deep is that water?

[@adventurefishinguk]

I’ve got no idea unfortunately! It felt very deep though

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

In the UK can you harvest these Perch for table fare? Do your laws allow it?

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think the laws do allow it above a certain size but culturally we always release perch as they're prized for sport 👍

[@vvinniem8907]

How do fish get into these isolated pools of water? I mean it's not connected to any river, stream or even larger lake😮

[@adventurefishinguk]

I think someone probably put them in a long time ago and they bred etc!
