JAMIE HUGHES ON A CANAL!?

When the weather was a bit warmer, we took possibly the greatest ever commercial fishery specialist and stuck him on the Hodnet AC's Goldstone Stretch on the Shropshire Union Canal. Will he catch, or will he blank? Let's find out...

Don't think I've seen Jamie smile this much in any video before! More of this type of thing please! 😁👍

[@jasonclayton9408]

Its what fishing is all about, the excitment of not knowing what you have caught. You see the joy in Jamies face, great video Jamie

[@kristianzapater2924]

I have to say a big thank you, it's great to see someone finally show on a map where they have fished! Makes it so much easier to find when wanting to go ourselves. Thank you!

[@barrymorehen2390]

Love it Jamie looked like a kid at Christmas. All we need to see now is a little friendly match. Maybe polly or John arther. Or maybe mr may on ww. Either way another great vid from the matrix guys thank you 👍🏻🎣

[@solidcold9491]

Jamie hughes vs lee wright role reversal challenge, lee can only fish a commercial with hard pellets and jamie can only fish a canal with tumeric maggots.

[@DinoPawlak]

Jon Arthur would pull him the pants off^^. He fishes those venues often. But it would pretty entertaining to watch.

[@jeffchandler7662]

When the guy on the boat said “should I know who you are ?” Should have said back ………Ronnie Pickering !!!!!!

[@stuartbromley5328]

That was an absolute joy to watch .....loved every minute

[@scott21171]

[@JeffOrtega33]

Another great video there are a lot of bonus carp in canals now too. Thanks Jamie and Matrix team

[@garyshipwright9311]

Great little canal fish up !! Great bag of silvers !!

[@PhilC74]

Fantastic video Jamie. Years and years AND YEARS since I fished a canal and yet that where I also started my fishing life! That was so enjoyable for me to watch and so tempting to give it a go myself. Well done and what a bloody good idea for a change.

[@robertcourt8593]

Great to see, this session could have been shown in its entirety and we'd have all watched it all. Used to love fishing the grand union for skimmers, had 30lb bags regularly in club matches around the Luton area.

[@Scottsalchemy]

Brilliant video, the excitement was contagious.....nice to see for a change

[@georgegreen8246]

Brilliant vid Jamie. Love canal fishing on the shopping at Chester. Always exciting keep them coming!

[@MonsterHill]

Great! Awesome fish!👍🍻🍻

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

I only came across the FB Live of this the other day, spent an age looking for the vid..... Yay it's here. The Shroppy is one place I began fishing when my sis was at Chester Uni. Love these vids.

[@jasontearne2334]

Loved that one Jamie, deffo canal match with Jon arther...

[@peterthornton8520]

Nice one Jamie. Great little session of just catching what comes along. I think as mentioned below a little Knock Up with You, Andy M, Jon Arthur would be eye opening. Cheers

[@jamesjohnson7905]

Just goes to show how good this man really is .thanks Jamie Just magical

[@robertmccarron1039]

Dont think i have ever sin you had so much fun its was like a big kid loveing it keep up the good work

[@richardsilverwood2980]

The reason I go back to Canals now and again When the Float goes under can be anything thanks for the vid cheers

[@michaelabbott6271]

Nice one Jamie a nice little session on a beautiful stretch of canal, some nice fish especially the skimbobs, never fished many canals but they are totally different from the commercials as much lighter rigs and you don't know what you will catch, top angling Jamie 👍🎣🎣

[@waynecritten762]

Nice to see you on a canal really enjoyable to watch Jamie Great video best fishing ever on canal Andy will be wanting a go there he'll be well jealous lol

[@brian1204]

[@JaseNico3310]

A pleasure session now and then gives you back the passion for fishing...today my aim is to catch a lovely tench!

[@iankelly731]

[@tommos16]

Fantastic!

[@peterwilliams8122]

[@garethevans6192]

Venues like this take you back to the times that got you into fishing 🎣 Happy Days

[@stewartoxley2361]

[@chrisponsford1327]

Excellent ,Jamie ,enjoyed that ,made me want to get back up the cut .

[@ifishmatrix]

Glad you enjoyed it, Pons!

[@timdwerryhouse2315]

Great day out Jamie 👌

[@hounddogjonny]

Nice to see him on a canal for a change...know this peg very well, it's a bit of a flyer and the stretch under the trees in Hinstock Woods is always the place to draw.

[@carljones3700]

More plz Jay 😊

[@stevebrown7281]

Love your enthusiasm Jamie great video Sea Fishing trip next😊👍

[@ifishmatrix]

We've got another special trip planned! Although it might not be sea fishing!

[@markmdusty3]

Awesome video of what fishing should be about just going out and enjoying a days fishing and not knowing what your going to catch. 👍

[@scottbailey8215]

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻 and I know exactly we’re you are I fish there a lot loads of scimmers and eels I use worms in the middle and had some good bream and you are fishing the peg I always go on it’s a lovely place I love it because it’s so peaceful

[@petercummins8145]

I'm so lucky living in Ireland , so much natural fishing compared to commercials

[@MrWindowman1]

Hi Jamie I used to fish the trent & mersey canal between barrow on trent and the stenson bubble aged 13 with many a big fish including a 12lb carp at what I used to call the willows stretch . now I am on commercials such as longford in derbyshire and after seeing how happy you are may look back at the narrow boat #lock nightmares as everyone watching this can maybe relate to . ps I am nearly 50 now keep up the great work Jamie love it .

[@iandeakin6993]

Jamie's brings out all the fun of fishing

[@optimadev1371]

That was great, a chance to see the ten year old Jamie!

[@alanjones1771]

Great video Jamie nice to see that you can still catch fish from moving water so well done and why don't you take Andy on a canal as one of your challenges would be a lot of fun 😃😃🎣🎣🎣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@scottessery100]

Feels strange seeing Jamie without Andy 🥺

[@redbeard8913]

Been a long while since i fished a canal or freshwater! Got into lure fishing off the rocks in Cornwall and went sea fishing mad!

[@mickclarke5741]

Where it all started for me, on the canal with a 9m pole ❤️

[@ijo58]

Reminds me of my early years fishing the Nene in and around Oundle

[@mikesavage7732]

You should do a video of Jamie and Andy pairing up for the canal pairs and trying to qualify. They'd have a great chance.

[@dezmcgregor8169]

Bit better than them over stocky carp mud pits ! Atleast you know its not more fish than water! 👌👍

[@pmay222]

always good when you are the ONLY person on the whole stretch .. .. ..

[@trickyg9130]

Inspiration, going out fishing tomorrow on the canal to put some of your advice into practice. Love to unexpected the canal can bring you.

[@oldbloke135]

Don't forget it is January now. It might be a bit harder than when Jamie fished it. A few less boats though.

[@thomasdoran2363]

31:52 - Jeez, those fish have so much energy still !! Frisky little beggars aren't they ?

[@kpr1969]

Heard you fish the boat museum at Ellesmere Port from time to time. Vid from a little session on there would be good

[@lonepecheurboussac1249]

Where I fished as a kid shroppie at market Drayton wonderful memories

[@stevejackson2167]

Brought back memories of the Macc canal and the Bridgewater GONNA GO NEXT WEEK

[@michaelbottomley2520]

That was great it’s a long time since I fished a canal I have moved back to where are used to go when I was about eight years old I am 66 years old now I will go in the spring and clear some swims with the old rake And have a go

[@cmmtechnician1592]

I'd like to see you revist another canal and go real old skool and fish the waggler on the cut. Good to see you really enjoying the canal

[@england902]

Great video. First time I have seen you. I last fished over 50 years ago and my twin brother has git me back in to it. I love method feeding (I think that’s what it’s called) but want to do some margin fishing, could you recommend anything that I can use for that type off fishing. I only have a couple off years to retirement so will be going a lot. Keep up with videos and thank you.

[@milanvrient6325]

Jamie can everything!

[@thomasdoran2363]

25:42 - Oh so slow to strike ! . . . . . Bad luck (Put the ploughman's sandwich down!) 🤣

[@oldbloke135]

It's a funny old canal the Shroppie. To someone brought up in the old days on the gin clear Leeds and Liverpool, it looks like there shouldn't be a fish in it. It must be like swimming in cold tea, and yet in places it is stuffed.

[@doehetvoorgentstudent8822]

I like fishing on canals better than fishing on a commercial 😎

[@russellmurray8102]

You should try the Lancy

[@leafysfishing]

Iv been goin to the canal with my margin pole but using commercial ish type of tactics with good results.. I'm hoping at some point the elastics gonna fly out and I catch somat special.. you never no in the spot I'm at.. usually perch tho 😂 but upto 3lb or even 5lb if you believe the old fellas blanking all the time down there lol.

[@scottessery100]

Do people still use squats as I never seen them used

[@craneyc993]

Brilliant Ya cor beat the cut

[@mikestephens5549]

Hi great video Make this your next challenge match against Andy

[@djc1234]

Last time I fished a canal I pulled out a Tramp, shopping trolley, a washing machine, and an unexploded bomb from, I surmise, the second WW. Maybe next time a Skimmer or two -- keep the faith 🙏

[@dafadd1790]

More on the canal..
