@garyallen8 that's someone who fishes there anyway but he fishes off his board now and then for something different

@@samsfishingchannel 6 of us and the boarder all blanked there this afternoon Crazy there there 1 minute gone the nxt

@bassmasterseliteuk3326 haha mate it was unreal!! Sort of wish I'd fished it but was too good to not see under the water

@@samsfishingchannel great footage mate gives us hope 😜👊🐟🎣

@bassmasterseliteuk3326 the biggest fish in the shoal were pushing 9lb but I couldn't get a shot on them because of all the fish in front of them

No you shouldn't need to as the bit you eat is the muscle and not the filter

Thank you 👍 yeah they were some lovely specimens

Thank you 👍

Hi, yes no problem at all, where in kent are you based?

@@samsfishingchannel from Maidstone but I’m around whitstable or Dover area quite often

@benjibop2892 OK cool, so Dover can be a really dangerous place to dive depending where you go. The only place that doesn't have crazy currents is the East Side of Dover Harbour but its a trek to get down to with your dive gear, but can be good. The closest area to Whitstable end that I know to hold fish and be worth diving is Reculver. Again that doesn't have any crazy currents as a general rule. But the main thing you need to look for is small tides and calm conditions, anything other than that the water won't be anywhere close to clear enough to dive. We only generally get about 20 or so diveable days each summer but it can be very very good for fish and general life down there when it's clear enough

@@samsfishingchannel thank you for that mate! I’m going to carry on doing some research and see if I can justify the purchases! Thank you though mate

@benjibop2892 have you dived before? Or snorkelled etc? If you have and you have a wetsuit and your own snorkeling gear I'd be happy to meet up and show you through some tips etc in a tidal pool near me...it holds lobsters and some fish sometimes and it's a safe place to start and get some basic skills before deciding to buy guns and weight belts etc. It can be a dangerous sport so I'm happy to take you through some stuff

Cheers dude 👍

Cheers mate, was a dire session until we moved spots

Thanks Matt, yes great session after a long quiet start. Stick bait on the bottom with the skirted ned rig/jig head. Fished slow and only in the slacks/Eddie's

Yes both good spots, started off near Ashford and then went to Canterbury free stretches

Glad you liked it, yeah there's so much info out there but sometimes it's brand based so thought it might be worth people seeing. I tend to fish as cheaply as possible lol, I don't know whether that hinders my fishing but I don't believe so. The shimano fx is the first reel I bought for this style of fishing and I've not felt any need to change yet after 3/4 years. Its not the most solid feeling thing but I've had pike up to 13lb on it with 6lb braid and it's performed great for me personally. Drag set is quite responsive and it's super lightweight if you like a light set up. So for the price I'd say its spot on. I have used a fox rage reel in a 1000 size recently and it felt really good too but it's about £40 and the shimano is about £25 I believe

Thanks for info, yeah I find a lot of the videos are brand based and I think they tend to be sponsored anglers promoting products for that company. Nice to see videos like yours based on real views and honest opinions on products. I too tend try and buy cheap, I don't always think there is a need to spend hundreds on tackle etc. Can I ask what braid you use, keep up the good work thoroughly enjoying it

@mattjohnson9143 thank you. Braid is the one thing I don't skimp on because I've had real stressful sessions with wind knots...especially when bass fishing on the coast. I use berkley for all of my fishing, I use Berkley Sick braid for freshwater and use 6 to 10lb. Tend to keep the lighter perch rod on 6 and the heavier one on 10 as use that one for pike sometimes. Then for seabass fishing I use Berkley Nanofil, it's a bit strange as it's not really braid, it has no stretch and reacts the same as braid but it's a single filament, really waxy and absolutely flies through the rod rings. Gives me a good 20 yards extra on the same lures. The knots are a little harder to get right as its waxy feeling and can slip if you use the wrong ones. But I can't recommend that enough if you're doing any long casting on lures

Hi Sam, I have looked at the sick braid and cannot see any in 6lb, do you get 0.06 and the 0.10 sizes which is 12lb and 16lb.

@mattjohnson9143 yes sorry got muddled up with the 6lb and .06 but that's the one 👍

Thanks buddy shame about the fishing ay

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. The way I see it with that much colour is that those fish still have to feed if the river is like that for more than a couple of days so they must be able to find a bait if you fish it in the right way. Slow and dark with a decent sized lure, not micro stuff seems to have paid off quite a few times now. As for the korum lures, they are 100% my best catchers when finesse fishing, the squirlies and the squirms are great too. I must say I've not had any issue with them at all going sticky, but I have had that happen when they mix with other soft plastics. They are safe to put with other korum lures but not to be mixed with other brands, even the other buoyant ones. I tend to keep them in their packets when out and about or in a lure box in separate compartments. Have you mixed them with others at all?

@samsfishingchannel no not mixed them with any other lures, tackle shop refunded me, will get some more and see how they are. I fish the River Medway and it can be coloured a lot so will definitely try the dark lures.

@mattjohnson9143 what's it like up there for perch? I've tried to find some stuff online but can't find much

@samsfishingchannel I have had Perch to 2lb but not many, mainly fish upper reaches Penshurst area. The section from Maidstone to East Farleigh is free but above is mainly club waters The River Eden is good too,

@mattjohnson9143 nice one, may have to sort out a trip up there in the future

Cheers dude, nice to hear you and Keith are having a cracking at them!

@samsfishingchannel I wanna mainly target pike but work and weather is scuppering going, running out of time for this season but 100% ready for July onwards when the bass fishing is slow, I'd love to come along when your free mate 👍🎣🐟

@bassonlures yeah ofcourse mate anytime! Best pike spot is the closest one too which is handy. The perch spots are a bit more dotted about it seems

@samsfishingchannel no worried, I wanna mainly target the pike but the odd perch is just as good, look forward to it mate 👍🎣🐟

Now that's a predator!!

Near me just didn't use it for the perch encase I lost it I wanted to get it in quickly

Thanks mate, the perch really took me by surprise, it hit like a pike

@@samsfishingchannel considering it was a new venue, top fishing 🎣🐟👍

@bassmasterseliteuk3326 thanks mate 👍

From talking to the environment agency I believe it to be free fishing. But if it isn't then if you have the contacts that would be great

some nice perch mate sam that stretch is private fishing its owned by chillham mill fly fishing i believe but if u dont get seen you was never there lol good luck mate @@samsfishingchannel

@@jakehall3412 it's not in chillham it's a different weir pool in wye

@@jakehall3412 I think I know the one you mean though as a friend is a member

@troyke3 just out of interest did you think this was the chillham stretch of the river too? Just want to make sure I'm not fishing private areas. This is in wye and been told its free

Cheers mate, don't know why it's uploaded in such poor quality though 😕

Yeah not too sure why it's done that normally does it at 1080 I will look into that thank you 👍

Thank you! Heading back there this morning in search of some more. Hopefully have another video unless it's a blank

I agree, shame they were so small but I quite like a chub on a lure

Oh really, that's great to know. I have been trying to find out about the area more. Not sure where the weir pools are or how far you can go past sainsbury area. If you ever fancied it, would be great to fish with someone with some local knowledge. I've seen big perch the other side of the city under the road bridge too but haven't been there yet to try.

Have you ever fished Barton Mill? Looks great on satellite pics but not been yet.

yeah there is more jack pike in there than perch i mean could throw up a bigun they have come out before my experience is i always caught alot of jacks even on worm you have to enter the shallow stream downstream and wade up as the banks are private land but if your in the water they cant do anything they own the banks not the water @@samsfishingchannel

More good info thank you. Which weir pools do you mean for the perch if you don't mind me asking? I thought they were all cdaa

@jakehall3412 can you wade under the bridge or is that not where you mean for the private land section

Where do you live now and do you fish now?

Hi Back in Perth Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, I fish on the River Tay. Only started again last year. Used to fish on a farm in a quarry in St Andrews . Perch . I worked at the Ruby lounge & Caprice nightclub many years ago best time of my life 😂. Love your videos.

That's awesome what an amazing river to be nearby! Haha no way I've probably even bumped into you at some point

Very kind thank you, I find it very hard to remember to talk whilst I'm actually fishing....and get embarrassed when people are watching and I'm talking to myself 🤣🤣 but really glad you like them 👍

We just like watching you catch bro keep doing what you're doing!

Thanks for the tip I'll definitely keep some in my bag from now on

Hi, it's the Shimano FX 1000. They do it in a few different sizes but I like using a 1000 size for perch, especially in winter when you want a slow retrieve. Angling direct sell them for around £25 it's not the best quality reel out there but it's always done well for me and certainly value for money at that price

Thank you dude

Thank you, was surprised to find any feeding fish in that weather. But that's perch fishing....they decide when they want to feed and it seems to have no set pattern like a lot of other fish. That's what we have found anyway.

Cheers dude was a fun dive. Gutted no lobsters yet this season but saw and got plenty of nice fish

Haha had a few say that 🤣 finders keepers 😆

Cheers dude yeah was a good one

No but only a few miles away

Yeah this was the main pier not the old one

Cheers dude
