Thames River- Whopper Plopper Action (Bass, Pike)

[@TheMrJcrock]

I've been down to the thames 4 or 5 times in the last two weeks and I've caught 3-5 fish each time in a couple hours. I'm using Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craw in green pumpkin and watermelon and bass pro tender tubes in green pumpkin and pumpkin seed. I'd also suggest a craw flavoured spray.

Always enjoy your videos! You inspired me to start fishing the Thames. :) I moved to Ingersoll last year so I'm fairly new to the area and I love that you have shown me lots of pointers on where to and what to use for fishing the Thames. I went to London just last weekend a little down from Fanshawe damn and tried for some walleye. Only got a small bass this time around. Great video :)

[@vladdywashedagf]

where are you along the thames

[@shaundennison1959-1]

Totally agree, I never stay in one spot to long when bank fishing & it definitely ups your catch rate 😎

[@chachifeere]

Is the water level down

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

Cool vid - i just found a whopper plopper the other day while fishing for carp. Cant wait to get it wet

[@brandenmulhall2892]

Probably one of the handful I’ve lost 😂

[@CarbiN8s]

Where on the Thames is this?

[@keidall]

Man, every time I’ve ever used a whopper plopper or hula without a liter a pike has chomped my line. Once, a gar was the culprit.. I’m always using the black 6” litres out there because of the pike. Actually I’ve caught far more walleye and pike than bass, and the bass are all rock and smallie 🤷🏼‍♂️.

What's your fave stretch of the Thames to fish?

[@payes81]

Isaac Robinson depends on the time of the year

[@cringeyt1158]

hey, not looking for anybody's secret spot, but any places that are great fishing spots on the Thames?

[@payes81]

CringeYT 11 downtown by the dam is pretty good

[@brandenmulhall2892]

I’ve had luck all over the Thames, and caught over 7 species. It’s all about the sight fishing game, looking for good spots and trying your luck :). Half the fun on the Thames is exploration! You just have to get out there!

[@fishingwithred8282]

Greenway is pretty good for cats and bass

[@TheMrJcrock]

What colour Senkos do you find work best in the Thames?

[@payes81]

Jeff Crocker usually watermelon or similar colour with flakes. Yum has one called mardi gras its pretty good

[@TheMrJcrock]

fishing southwestern ontario thanks for the tip. Picked up watermelon candy and caught 12 in about 4 hours right along the stretch in this video. From the bend to the new bridge.

[@96Duelfuel]

Where's the spinner??

[@outdoorfishinglife9038]

Fishing Southwestern Ontario, what senko style baits do you like to use?

[@payes81]

OutdoorfishingLife senkos are stick baits usually 5” worms

[@mattg6773]

Whopper flopper? Also may I ask you to address the tools you will use and maybe technique's. Or possibly the knowlege of where fish like to hangout and why? Thanks for the video. Looks hella fun.

[@brandenmulhall2892]

Whopper Plopper*. If you want to know where fish “hangout,” you need to understand that water level, time of day, shade, temperature, and much much more impact where you will find fish on any given day. The best advice I can give is to first research the species of fish available in the Thames. From there, pick what you want to target and research their habitat, what they eat, and the temp of water they are most active in. Scratch that, first make sure you have a fishing license and check the seasons for fish found in the Thames so that you’re not getting yourself into trouble. London is Zone 16. Then, back to more researching what you want to catch. And finally, once you have some proper bait or lures and are fishing legally GO EXPLORE! Sure, having someone poing you to a spot they caught a fish in is nice, but the real fun is finding your own spots and having an adventure in the middle of one of Ontario’s largest cities! Good luck!

Was that the Whopper Plopper 110? It looked huge! Wanted to try that size but was told it's just too big for around here (maybe better for bigger lakes?) But it seem to work...

[@payes81]

Remi Frenette it th 110

[@NoTimeForOriginality]

I fished that same stretch of river for almost four hours on Saturday and didn't even get a nibble :(

[@payes81]

NoTimeForOriginality thats too bad, try a few different twchniques

[@MrBferg21]

Lucky I fished the thames in multiple spots all week with crankcase whopper plopper bone and plastic craw and have only caught 2 dinky smallmouth.
