Fishing Canal LOCKS With An UNDERWATER CAMERA! So many FISH!

[@DaiHGowerWales]

Unlike so many Fishing KZbinrs Nice peaceful appropriate music that didnt distract from technical info.

[@DevilDave59]

Really enjoyable, nice to see that fishing is not all about commercial lakes full of double figure Carp.

[@neilcondron8315]

Especially here in Australia where they are in plague proportions and regarded as a noxious pest.

[@straightouttacornwall]

You ever noticed that UK Carp vids on youtube are always some Cockney bloke with half a million pounds worth of gear?

[@Dannny1067]

I've only just realised how much subscribers Ginger has now. Every single sub is deserved. He puts in so much hard work

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Thanks buddy!

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

​@@The_ginger_fisherman just a wee thought, we all enjoy seeing the fish and them interacting with bait , but if you not eating them then why hook them ? Am an ex trawlerman and those days saw too many dead ones wasted😢 try a camera creel or fish trap. 🐟

[@svengalt9546]

Those adorable perch were like: "A blessing! precious mana from the Lord!" Such cool footage.

[@bikerslovecurvessr9609]

Thanks Chris so relaxing. I can’t walk past a lock without looking in and being mesmerised thinking what’s there. Cool stuff keep it coming fella 👍🏻👍🏻

[@neilcondron8315]

This is an interesting expose of the lock gate environment, Chris. It's interesting to see that (generally) the Perch only took the maggots once they had landed on the bottom.

[@Oligodendrocyte139]

Yes, that was interesting. I suspect it would be different in running water. Also, I always think perch are suckers for red maggots but not here. 👍

[@continual-improvement374]

I love this stuff!! Perch are beautiful fish, and seeing them down there like this really gives a bit of perspective to us all above the water fishing for them. How about dropping down a few cameras evenly spaced to keep the frames aligned and then testing out a few different lures/baits in a bit of a face off? Would make for exciting videos! Thanks again for the time and effort you put into the videos.

[@shinuizabusa2180]

Awesome footage. Perch are just so beautiful.

[@nez9751]

My favourite fish from my childhood going course fishing. Apparently fresh water bass

[@tremendousapple4041]

I wish there was a new ginger fisherman video everyday 😅can’t get enough of them Chris

[@paulwood1088]

no words chris you are the best and you keep producing amazing vlogs thanks

[@richardmason6997]

What a genuine guy

[@JohnCollins-u8v]

Who would have thought there would be so many fish in a lock, like the way that pike came into view, love catching perch, great video mate 🎣🎣👍

[@mattgoodchild8215]

What a fantastic video amazing footage very educational Thank you 👍🏼🎣🍺

[@keefymckeefface8330]

fellow ginger who loves perch here- love the vids to man, kee p it up! Re lock one V lock two- lock one- lots sunlight, green weed growth covers bottom and sides- Stacked with fish cos stacked with munchies for fish in the weed. lock two appears very shaded, less light, and sides and bottom lots bare brick, some fallen sycamore leaves and a scattering of weedy growth in places.. almost no fish cos feeding is crap and its darker thus colder as well. (ive spent some time snorkelling in small rivers you get similar effects on bits river next to each other)

[@nigelsmith3144]

Get this man his own TV show!

[@alank2296]

Great post, very watchable and good commentary, many thanks Chris ....

[@johnwelbourn3811]

Great footage. Amazing colouration on the perch underwater.

[@markbrennan4693]

Brilliant footage, Perch are one of my favourites. Fiesty little fish no matter how small. Nice one.

[@r333wall]

Amazing photography..loads of perch .Fantastic markings.

[@willproctor7301]

Lovely footage. Watching a perch chug down a worm like that really explains the bites I'd see as a kid. Dib.dib dib, lift into the fish. If you lifted as soon as it tugged the float, all you were doing was pulling the bait out of the fishes mouth. Nice one.

[@Kevin-l1s]

The lack of competion between the perch was interesting. Instead of squabbling for the baits they fed quite casually and seemed to respect each others' space. Once a fish had moved in on a maggot or worm other perch didn't try to snatch it away . Quite an enlightening little film.👍

[@stevegriffiths5273]

Chris is in to almost anything good job he is the videos are brilliant n the footage of the camera work is unbelievable thanx mate I enjoyed again another Chris ‘s. Video thanx bro 👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@ferryprive]

Beautiful. So soothing to watch on a sunday. Nice editing sounds..relaxed. love it

[@nickkey7154]

Afraid the music spoiled it for me. Great content as always though.

[@keithdainton6043]

I remember growing up as a kid on the river kennet we had school's of perch around 2lbs thouse were the days im 71 now .and can remember sitting all night on a wicker basket touch ledgering for chub and barble . making minnow traps from plastic bottles one of the best baits by far under a float running down the weir.

[@daves2598]

I really love this video! And i like it how kind you release the fish, this is what i call fishing! 🎣

[@DanS360]

Great content Chris. Really good to see how other perch react to one being hooked.. (they really don’t get spooked)

[@NewHeathen]

Love me some Perch bashing - keep it up Chris!

[@indianatone218]

Excellent idea ! excellent filming fishing camera work and editing thanks for showing us .was amazed how clean and to be honest not that much rubbish in the canals .thanks for doing and showing us your day .Greetings from Wales .

[@trevorrobinson8577]

Another great video Chris. Interesting watching those Perch feed. They seem to go for the worm as soon as it moves. It's another world at the bottom of the Lock's ....

[@spasi57]

I love underwater fishing videos. Maybe you can also do one while using soft lures and fishing on the bottom or dropshotting. You always have very goof videos 👏👏👏

[@andybrown6776]

This is Insane, thank you so much for the inspiration to out out an get some perch! Incredible work, keep it going!!

[@jamesdoyle3885]

Really enjoyed this. Very relaxing watching the underwater footage with the music

[@PandoraChaser2]

Amazing footage! You mentioned only in passing, closing comments, the one thing I was expecting to see.... EELS! I bet you they were there all along, but you did not see them on the camera. They will be cleverly hidden somewhere but present in each lock all along. You should one day, or night, and do this as a measure of moon too, try to film underwater, as New Moon, Quarter, Half and Full Moon Phases and then back into Waning stages. See if you can make a UV underwater camera somehow and film the locks by day, into dusk and dark. Try various eel tactics, rigs, from bottom to surface rigs in full moon phases (when they are rumoured to surface more). It will be truly unique footage if you catch old Anguilla out on the prowl and if there is difference to their behaviours in different moon, or barometric pressure systems, as per the late great Barrie Rickards over Pike and Hot Spot Lair Theory on the Broads, where sadly, we also lost Charlie Bettell shortly after he took Hugh Lawrie out surface lure fishing.

[@needham831]

Fantastic Chris mate. I always love your underwater vids. The colours on those Perch are just incredible. 🙂

[@Nooneathome-1]

Tremendous footage, loved watching it 👌

[@martinwestron7552]

Reminds me of when I was younger having a fish tank with perch and stickle backs in it Great video once again

[@keithmasek2855]

Great video seeing fish in their natural environment.

[@Deathst4lker]

Cracking session, Chris - thanks for sharing 🎣👊

[@mervynwalsh7209]

Great video session. Very interesting lock footage. Great learning experience 👍

Really great video! Love it! Please more! All the best from Austria!

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

Love ur videos like this... so awesome seeing the different species doing there thing down there.. espesh love seeing the perch and roach

[@Deekm69]

There's a young fishing KZbinr called Wilfie, I really hope he watches your channel and learns all the stuff you show. I'd love to see him catching more fish

[@alexandermcgowan4125]

Great video mate I’m addicted to that fishing game you mentioned in the last one haha

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

The water is beautifully clean.

[@raygrange7312]

That was really enjoyable Chris. Great footage.

[@simonfreer7950]

Two interesting things for me... the Perch were not interested in eating the maggots on the drop and also weren't spooked when one was hooked.

[@cocospops9351]

Nice to see how clean it was down there. Thought it might have loads of cans and crisp packets in it

[@cedhome7945]

You could work with the magnet fishing bunch and help them save time picking out the best stuff 😄

[@David-pw6dt]

Nice clean perch. The bigger specimen obviously in the main canal!!

[@chrisclark4112]

Best camera on yt , not a bad fisherman too 😉

[@rickfood445]

You have answered a few questions iv had about whats in the actual locks nice 1 cheers

[@brianstewart175]

Keep up the great work mate,get my fix while I can't go fishing myself

[@ryanmiskell516]

Keep doing what you're doing, brilliant content. Thought I seen a bleak there at first

[@alanjust]

Fabulous footage Chris! Loved your arrival on camera 😂😂😂😂

[@barringtonofmorpeth]

From an ecological and environmental perspective, what you are doing is excellent viz seeing how healthy the canals are; you should contact the CRT (make your own report). Thank you for your time and effort.

[@diggy-d8w]

Very kool seeing what's in the water.... no matter where you are & I just watched a guy catching catfish in a street side storm drain. Surprised me but after all it was in Houston where something lives in every canal or waterway. But seeing your spots of water is just different fish = very interesting to see it. I bet using 2lb - 4lb test is quite fun? Nice video, peace

[@BlueNoseTSG]

What a brilliant video Chris

[@jasonpardoe1408]

Enjoyed that footage 👌 got to be the best looking fish in uk waters ❤️🎣🐊

[@troggmeister]

Used to jump ' town lock ' as a kid . Used to have a mesh fence in those days to help stop yourself because you needed a good run up !

[@shaunsfishingadventures]

The underwater footage was awsome love perch fishing

[@jayknight3625]

Love watching your videos mate 👍

[@leem2362]

Check the rules on canal fishing " No, fishing is not permitted in lock chambers or within 25 meters of a lock wall approach or moveable bridge on canals. This is because of agreements between the Canal & River Trust and angling clubs."

[@chrisb2443]

You seem like fun!

[@baldyginge]

Best Chanel ever

[@johnbemister1508]

Great video Chris, I expect you'll be out saving the fish from the floods soon 😊

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

Nothing stranded this time ;)

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

awsome video Chris.. nice footage interesting stuff🎣

[@johnlengden4207]

Brilliant, video, love perch,thanks 👍 staysafe, and takecare, Happy Christmas to you and your family's 👍 ❤

[@sandorkovacs9271]

absolutely incredible work, brother.

[@thetattooedangler]

I spent an hour watching and feeding perch when I started fishing, and I noticed that they lock thier dorsal fin when they're feeding because that's when they're most vulnerable to attack. I learned to get ready to strike when I saw the fin rise, and increased my hook up rate 100%.

[@deividas_kimontas]

Incredible footage! 👀🐟

[@m.watson83]

Great video as always but I wish you would share more tactical information like hook size and weight used etc and also the camera you used and how you attached it to the line and kept it upright etc, cheers bud again great vid keep them coming 👍🏻

[@ihcfn]

Interesting how few maggots were taken on the drop.

[@GodofThunder1919]

Really like this, great work mate!

[@stegrundy4014]

Brill as always Chris thx mate 👍👍

[@imraduin]

Those locks are cute, where I live the difference in waterlevel between locks is 10+ meters 😄

[@Paulssock]

Damn that water is clear...i liive on a narrowboat..and fish most days...hopefully i will find canal as clear as this soon...great video btw!

[@foylad4862]

Top class vid mate 👍 perch are beautiful

[@garypayne6466]

Oh mate wanna buy a camera put it in the old places I used to fish years ago interesting video as usual!

[@ToCatchAPredatoryFish]

Oh wow i havent seen a dace in years! Your local canal must be very healthy!

[@mickibbett2120]

Amazing. Thanks Chris.👍👍👍👍

[@boerkuhjah]

I love the underwater videos

[@LolsFishingAdventures]

Interesting that when you were striking/hooking/fighting fish, it didn’t seem to spook the others in the least🤷‍♂️

[@fishingwithben_uk]

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

[@Mugwumps107]

I’am no longer a fisherman myself, I fished as a boy up till my middle teenage years and my teens were a long time ago now. I’ve only fished a couple of times since. However i find your camera videos absolutely fascinating, observing another world almost 🙂👍🏻 The footage is it altered/manipulated in anyway??? I imagined it’d be way more murky down there you see.

[@FrenchCrow]

Fantastic, again.

[@yorkietipper1606]

Top content again Chris . 😊

[@fluppi123]

Interesting to see they don't jump on the food like crazy hungry animals, even if there are a lot of them on the spot.

[@PaulLowndes-z9p]

You are a curious hunter chris and you seeking knowledge helps us all

[@philipjones6083]

Brilliant stuff sir

None of them spooked when their mate gets hooked. Interesting.
