Lures vs Bait - What Catches Most Fish?

[@SomeoneSmarter]

The Ginger one always makes lure fishing look so easy. I've had so many blank lure sessions!

[@robertclare6137]

Two excellent fisherman without a doubt, Im 67 and have been fishing since I cast a line into the Thames at Hampton Court on the Surrey side by the Lock,60 years ago. We need more young people to take up our wonderful hobby and learn the knowledge that we have gained over the years. WELL DONE,Great video

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much Robert!

[@FrZnPredator]

What does a fishing liscence cost in England, how much for an Atlantic salmon permit

[@docsmellyfella]

@@FrZnPredator £35.80 for non migratory trout and coarse fish and £90.40 for sea trout and salmon per year. You can also buy weekly or daily licences. They can be purchased from post offices or on-line from the environment agency. You also need permission or to pay a fee to whoever owns the fishing rights to the water.

[@robertmansell3667]

I avidly watch both your channels both very good,I find Carl teaches me more but Chris’s Lure fishing is just out of this world,his casting accuracy is 😮

[@karlvanhoesel4311]

Are you not allowed to use live bait fish as bait in UK? If you could Carl would’ve won easily. I live in U.S. and I use 5cm live fish to catch different species from 15cm to 60 cm easily

[@nickybayton8332]

@@karlvanhoesel4311 you are allowed but it’s frowned upon by a lot of people 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@twincamspit]

@@karlvanhoesel4311 You can, but remember that many anglers care for fish - We often return the fish to water in better condition than when we hooked it as there's a lot of parasites over here to remove. Hence many of us don't like the idea of torturing a live fish to use it as bait.

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Robert! Happy your enjoy the channels 😊

[@SomeoneSmarter]

Same

[@stuartnewman6968]

Both amazing anglers. Was a great watch. Chris is so accurate with casting it's insane. Have to admire how Carl didn't give in though.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha, it was haaard :) Cheers Stuart! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrewroberts4736]

These types of videos are my favourite. I just love watching river fishing. Takes me back 40 years when me and my dad used to fish the Medway at Paddock Wood. This is a great video. Thanks Carl.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh thanks Andrew, that's lovely to hear, glad it reminds you of nice memories :)

[@super_soi]

Bait on lure =combined luck

[@jfdi2]

Blud got the 2x luck game pass

[@Bass_Nomad.]

fishing with live bait is called catching or is it also combined luck?

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to our little town and river....The canals not to bad either...Great video as always.

[@waynegrant6585]

Love this. Two of my fave KZbin anglers in one video. Please do more challenges guys.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much! More to come! :)

[@bobkowalski7655]

It really depends on the location. In a shallow and clear running water, lures are much more effective than let's say on a slowly flowing deep river where bait takes the lead.

[@cjshake]

So awesome! Chris is a good angler, and like he said he knows that river like the back of his hand. So hats off to you Carl as I think you did really well considering that 👍🎣

[@derekwylie7256]

You can't beat local knowledge, both excellent anglers 👍

[@laason1091]

Really Carl should've gotten more cred in-video for fishing against someone with such overwhelming local knowledge and still giving a decent match.

[@fishwithcarl]

😊👍 Thank you mate!

[@smithdenbleyker9624]

Man rivers in England must be real different than America. Out Greek chub are like 2 in and that's it. And you couldn't go river fishing in America without catching trout. But great video. Those chub are huge and the pike are always great catches

[@dns976]

[@fishwithcarl]

Sure we will!

[@trevorcornes1056]

i just choose artificial lures because it's a matter of pure deception to the fish

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers Darren :) Haha, yep he is the master!

[@Caleb_Mercea]

Yes! You guys made a video with lures!!! I was waiting for this video to come out!

[@Deluminate]

just in time for lunch! :) always a good start to the weekend carl! good to see Chris on here too

[@tobyarnold2265]

Great to watch two of the best fishermen on KZbin create an amazing video. Thanks guys

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks so much Toby! That's kind. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@bushleague3472]

Great video. For me it all depends on water temp and how concentrated the fish are. When the water is cold, or the fish are concentrated in key areas... like in a river, I will usually use bait. I fish alot of long, shallow, non-descript lake shores though, where its vital to cover a ton of water searching out aggressive fish raiding the shallows. For this I find bait almost useless, I just cant cover ground fast enough.

[@LeeKirkman88]

Spent all my childhood fishing with floats and feeders and floating bread etc. But now im older i fish with lures mainly. Chris is one hell of a fisherman . Great content.

[@fishwithcarl]

He certainly is! Thank you mate!

[@monkeybrains]

Would be good if at the start of the video you said what month of year or date. Just to give a better idea of when to use these tactics. I know we can get a decent idea from the foliage and weather but it would be nice to get more accurate. Thanks for the vid, i enjoyed alot

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah yes, I tend to more in the tutorials! Thank you mate, glad to hear :) you're welcome 😊👍

[@arturleperoke3205]

guys that was very nice! I also like the casual plastic bag from the trees - seriously! Where I live this is a massive problem and it gets ignored from both anglers and passengers as well, like "nah that is not my problem/not my job" - which is strange since everybody seems to talk nowadays how important it is to have a healthy environment. Would be so cool if you would address that problem in one of your videos - does not need to be political, but you could reach out to many young anglers!

[@kingchaos5404]

In one of the previous videos when you said you would be fishing with another river fishing KZbinr I somehow thought/hoped it would be Chris. What a video this is going to be. 🙏

[@youssefelamrani]

Had never seen someone sight fish for pike with a large lure, that man is good!

[@tariqaslam1853]

Great vid, ginge on a binge. Punchline at the end was funny.. Serious though Carl you missed some bangers.

[@agfishinginireland9182]

Great Battle, great to watch. Carls angling skills put up a great contest. But as Chris says he knows the river like the back of his hand and his casting skills didn't expect such a close contest. 👏🎣👌

[@andriuskalnikas1633]

Watching two best fisherman competition is a pure pleasure thanks boys that was awesome……

[@fishwithcarl]

[@mrp4754]

The best video i“v watched for along time. Hats off to you both. wicked and nail biting.

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much! 👍

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Chris you really should have congratulated Carl on giving a close competition. You definitely had the edge and he done really well considering. But instead you said the margin would have been a lot wider if you was using baits too 😂 which was a bit of a dig if you ask me. Maybe next time both of you use baits and go to an unknown river to even the odds🤷🏻‍♂️. Love you tho Chris but yeah you definitely should have congratulated him on a great competition. Or maybe go and do a carp competition with Carl and you will see the tables turn for sure 😉

The hardest part is finding the motivation mate I understand where your coming from, try push yourself into it and once your on the bank all the negative feelings will leave you, all the best pal

@@lilautizmo_9114 I get that it's the being trapped at the lake as I don't drive so have to be dropped off and picked up and my closest is like 30 mins drive from my house I also moved house a few month ago so don't know anyone in the area and my family aren't into fishing im sure if I asked one of them to come they would when it gets nicer weather 🙃

[@lilautizmo_9114]

@d monster it's always better with other people anyway mate, maybe skim through Google earth in your area try find any hidden pools or small streams within walking distance to try ease into doing it solo and you'd be shocked what can come out of a small venue, my pb barbell (9lb 4oz) came out of a small stream maybe 3 foot deep and 7ft wide for the most part

[@needham831]

Fantastic vid. Great to see my two fave KZbin anglers duking it out.☺ And Carl's advice about bait vs lures at the end for novice anglers was very good too. Now there has to be a return match with Chris on your home turf, Carl. Make it happen sir.☺👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Cheers mate! Glad you found it helpful too! 👍 Haha, good idea!

[@deividas_kimontas]

Awesome video! 🔥 Carl did well considering it's a new river for him! The margin between him and Chris was close. For small rivers like that, you can't go wrong with flake of bread. You can also catch a trout on bread! 👌

What I've concluded from these videos of Carl losing fish, and missing bites, is that he's a much better videographer and storyteller than he is angler.

[@differentfins]

First thing, I love both your channels! Some species, mostly trout, I don't bother using bait anymore. Ice fishing in Canada we are allowed 2 lines. I don't bother using the second set line anymore when fishing brook trout. I catch them all day long on the artificial lures adjacent to my second line with live bait and the hit the jigged artificial lure every time! They love to chase!

[@edwardthompson3213]

Dont feal to bad carl .dont think there is a fisherman on the planet that could beat Chris in his back yard. You did yourself proud.

Cheers Alex! Good luck with videos :) Tight lines!

[@aethon6335]

Hey Carl. Thanks for the videos. I love them. I'm wondering why you fish downstream like that? As a fly fisherman we are taught to fish upstream. The fish are looking upstream for food so you and the sediment cloud you are kicking up are less likely to be detected. Also, if you hook up downstream, you have to fight not only the fish, but the current of the river. An upstream hookup causes the fish to have to fight both you and the current. I'm sure t's probably situational for you but I've noticed it often in your videos. Thanks again

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks for watching!!! In most cases I’d rather be casting upstream, however when float fishing, or drifting bread it’s very hard to control the bait if you cast upstream, so I lower it in and pay off line instead.

[@shaunharris3690]
