[@luresonly]

Top video bro and great angle for the last 3 catches! 👌👌👌

[@luresonly]

Thanks bro

[@stevem987]

Great video, looked like you had a good opening day, for myself I found the fishing a bit more difficult then expected but still enjoyed being out, have a good one 👍

[@luresonly]

Thanks bud, tbh I found it hard too, the fishing was actually pretty slow, some of the zander had over an hour between them, not that I can complain with the fish caught but they didn't come easy

[@ComeFishingWithME]

[@luresonly]

Well done man, cracking session. Really enjoy all your videos! Is that the river severn?

[@luresonly]

Thanks buddy, Appriciate the feedback and no it's the lower Trent I usually fish

[@alexsabau1206]

@@luresonly never tried the Trent, maybe in the future. Looks like you're having a great time on it. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to more of your videos!

[@petersiska9939]

Small small zanders bro are there no bigger ones .......

[@luresonly]

I had an 80 a few days ago, the big ones are tough this time of year, get plenty in the winter when they settle in certain spots

[@MrMessiah44]

Anyone from Oxfordshire? Is there any zander around? Never cought one around Oxford area. Great video.

[@luresonly]

Oxford canal has plenty, I fished Oxford mania competition last weekend some one had 5 out the canal

[@MrMessiah44]

@@luresonly Thanks for the tip. Will try it next weekend

[@destro1989]

I fish Oxford as I'm a local, I've only ever hooked 2 zander and caught 1, we've seen a few more recently to be fair. Mate of mine caught a 6lber the other week, I know a couple lads who keep things on the hush and they caught 17lb zander last year. So they are around, just not prolific like other rivers.

[@MrMessiah44]

@@destro1989 Are you talking canal or river? I know someone who caught zander in Abingdon in Thames.

[@destro1989]

@@MrMessiah44 river. Canal is pretty shit through Oxford in my opinion.

[@gez1972]

Great video again buddy keep them coming! How you finding the fox gear? Using a 1000 fox prism myself for light lure work at only £45 from Bristol angling it's a cracking little reel! Will have to try drop shot on the river as had several jacks on opening day jigging which I'm not to ecstatic about lol. I'm guessing Will need to slow things down for the perch and Zander? Maybe a TRD type bait worked slowly along the bottom, as am guessing the oxygen levels will be lower this time of year and the fish will more lethargic.

[@luresonly]

Thanks mate, more on the way soon! I love the fox gear bud, I have really got on with it well. And the results speak for themselves. The reels are super good for the money bud, and very popular! I don't usually drop shot for perch but for whatever reason it was literally the only thing that would work! Keep trying new things and keep chopping and changing!

[@colt5618]

The hoodie, is it uv protection? No zander anywhere near me. Enjoyed the video very much, keep them coming.

[@luresonly]

It sure is mate! It's a great choice for sunny days, it's very lightweight with UV protection and keeps you very cool! It also has an integrated snood! Glad you enjoyed the video bud.

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

Missed these videos, what landing net handle you using?

[@luresonly]

It's the fox rage carbon street net, 5.5 meters! Perfect for the river and hard to reach places!

[@orthodoxoutdoorsman9477]

Nice vid mate and cracking fish

[@luresonly]

Thanks buddy

[@gregbyatt6102]

Love the hat 🎩

[@luresonly]

Thanks bud

[@billiedavis3942]

Hi bro love the video what hook size do you use on the stickflex

[@luresonly]

thanks buddy! i dont use the stickflex any more, ive replaced them with the fox floating uv creatures, but when i did usually a 2 in summer and a 1 in winter, . i always go smaller in the summer as the small fish will choke them right down and leave to bad hook ups, this can also depend on how well they are feeding at any given time.
