Always surprised at how many decent fish you catch from a river that's so shallow and clear. Made me completely rethink about locations where I would and wouldn't fish.
@gauthierdeltell12053 жыл бұрын
It's not common in France to find decent perchs as well, particularly in clear waters of streams for instance. We have XXL chubs where the river is not deep. Nice perchs are hidden in deep waters between the rocks and dead trees underwater. It would be a pleasure to fish in your beloved country with marvelous landscapes. Kindly yours, les pêcheurs du nord de la France 😀

I've just aquired a very similar little crank bait, but a couple of those swims and runs are defo worth going over with trout in mind and i've almost forgotten what its like to give them the once over. going to do one before the end of the season!!

I’m originally from Manchester but I have lived in Ontario, Canada for the last 34 years. A lot of people here eat Perch and they are very good eating. You might want to try a couple. Perch rarely get over a pound here, as we have so many predatory fish that eat Perch; Muskes, Pike, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Catfish and more. Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching all your videos.

Am I doing something wrong? it’s not like that when I cast it but it comes back like that more than half the time. it tangled the line which destroyed the lure presentation. so how do I fix this? I have this rapala fat rap for quite a long long time now so I would love to know how to use it properly

To protect our rivers you can get a licence to trap signal cray fish. If yiu kill them crush them all up remove the eggs binn the eggs then take the crushed up crayfish to your local rivers then feed the wild stocks if yiu keep this up then the fish get the taste for signal crayfish and they hunt them down.

And with best fishing in the rain when the water is high or colord the fish run into new water no lighting can get yiu with. A cane rod.. Cane rods are the future and now the prices are starting to rise go out and get as many as you can they have doubled in price in two years. Every year they are getting more expensive. Tight lines..

The only rattle the fish will hear is if the hooks knock against the body as it swims, either wise it looks to be an absolutely solid lure. I will be interested in testing out how this one fairs compared to the ebay specials.
