As someone who has only just started lure fishing I found this video incredibly informative. I live in Gloucestershire and fish the Gloucester canal (I've been just twice so far) and I'm gonna try this on my next trip. Something so simple and obvious but seemingly very productive. Subscribed :)
I've fished up Gloucester canal by Saul junction many a time, never caught a pike but seen and fished with others who have. 9 months later have you caught anything?
hell yea brother nice video. I have always wanted to fish the UK for Pike, I live in the States up north and the pike fishing here is pretty good if ya find the right body of water, biggest one I've landed here was just under 42" and just over 13lbs. I hear damn near every lake, river, and even ponds in the UK are loaded with pike, alot of monsters I hear as well. cheers bud! tight lines!
great video mate, how are you setting the hooks, i fish a small river near me and get lots of nice perch and jack pikes, but i get lots of follows from big pikes but cant set the hooks, they just seem to spit it out!!!! water is crystal clear so i watch what happens, the jacks and perch come in with such vicious attacks its easy to strike, but the biggies seem to test my lures and say no thanks!!! any help????
Great way to fish,Really enjoyed the video.What type,size of rod did you use and what reel is that you are using.?Would love to try it on my local canal.Pat Robson
I’ve tried this method twice now and blanked both times on the Leeds Liverpool canal both directions from Rodley. There was a lot of weed and I spent sooo much time removing the weed. Lost a £15 rapala lure near a bridge on what must be a shopping trolley (I’m going back with a grappling rod when it arrives. Any comments or help would be appreciated, I am still to catch my first pike.
Old vid i know, but having not had a pike out of my local canal for 5 months now (i know, seems almost impossible) i came looking for answers to what i was doing wrong, but i guess nothing, i'm doing the same as i see in all the vids. As well as countless hours casting, i calculate I've walked roughly 130miles while trolling and not 1 fish. Can fish smell desperation? lol
nice one spent many hours doing the same on this stretch of canal using a 2.2inch crazy fish nano targeting perch you can easily catch up to 100 small perch in a session , next time you are on this stretch when you get to the part with the iron barriers on the other side chuck a floating lure over there some massive chub laying tight to the far bank .
Every time i fish my local canal and changing spot i walk the lure down, even if its 15 meters. I dont know how many pike i have had that way. The last 10 days i had 14 pike between 6 and 13 lbs. So it does work
Question: when i try this method i'm getting snagged quite a lot by cables, pipes and other rubbish people throw in the canal. Any tips to avoid this things? Much appreciated.
Top water lures are good for staying out the way of stuff like that - try get a crank bait with a small bill so it doesn’t dive too deep and you’ll stay off the bottom Lost a £6 lure once to a shopping trolley some nitty had probably launched in there once 🤣
I got this combo too, super happy with it, and managed a Pike, Perch and Zander in the first week.....all small, but it's a start. Loving these Vids though DB, giving me lots of inspiration.
Hi there, I’m upgrading my pike lure tackle iv watched loads of your videos, would you recommend a good medium to heavy rod and bait caster reel?? Cheers
Today i havent gone fishing..but ended up watching it anyway..lol...iv looked at the previous comments and u state that one day you "will try fishing on the sheffield canal" my question is..did you and if so what were the results?? Also a greate video..keep up the gd work mate ur very watchable!.
Nice video mate you walk very close to the edge of the bank though try stepping into the tow path a bit more and wearing some camo you'd be suprised by how many fish your probably spooking.
@Paul Taylor Your facts are all true but ask yourself if say 5 Anglers native to the UK or not all fished each day taking 2 pike each to eat then how long would it be before there are no pike left for anyone to catch? It's all about conservation and respecting the wishes of other Anglers and not being selfish and helping yourself just because it's legal to do so. It's also a well known fact that those Angling clubs who endorse the removal of pike from their stretches often find the remaining fish to get diseases and deformities because of the removal of predators and population explosion. Like I said, it's all about conservation.
Where about is this mate? It looks like Leeds canal? Or is it Wakefield? I've just stared fishing and would love to try this method! Cheers for the vid anyway, I've subscribed!
I think I'm a Jonah. I just fished a mile of bank, there and back without a sniff of a fish. Mind you the heron which was there was unluck too and he is an expert, not a beginner like me. 😀
What an brilliant way to fish. Take a stroll, hook into a pike, drop the landing net, hooking mat out, land it, and chuck it back..... Great suff.
Nice video and cool Idea buddy! If I tried this on my local river I'd catch at least a dozen shopping trolleys! Lol....
Gez same
Just taking my fish for a walk
I dont g’et it mate
T roy footlong oh thanks
🤣🤣
I get it
Wish i had such place to fish lol super clean and easy i would be on that water every day.
Thanks for this bud, I'm glad people use the 25cm, I wasnt sure if it was too large or not

I know where you live now.... big mistake.... I will find you

@@elliottpompey8055 just a couple of micro pike, lol
What a guy!! I only know one other person that does that and that's an older guy that showed me the way 😉 tight lines buddy
You would catch many more pike casting ahead of you and also to the other shore.
Nice one man, absolutely no idea why people are saying it's boring? What because your walking instead of sitting on your arse and casting?

I used to catch trout on the fly using this method. Great video.

Simon Huss when the pike goes for your bait dont strike it will try bite the tail off your lure first bite then second bite will eat the rest
Simon Huss try using a spoon instead or a popper they tend to not be taken by smaller fish but the big ones love it
Sweet I did it your way with Mike the pike I got 6 pike from 6am till 12
Great method DB, Iv'e adopted it myself with great results. Been using a 13cm Savage Gear 4play. Cheers for vid.
That style of fishing is well suited to a side-planer. No worries as to spooking fish....your bait could follow the far bank or mid-stream !
Would be interesting with a slightly longer rod and walking further back from the bank. Would probably get more takes.

I've had dry spells too. But think like this; every fishing session is moving you closer to your goal. 😉
Pike #4 !! Thats what happens when close in fishing, they are still lively when out of the water. Unlucky on that one, but nice video. Cheers

@@pikeandperch where u fishing
Where is it?
@@coreylee5631 Lol, no youtuber is going to tell you where their easy waters are. They are only interested in advertising their sponsors gear.
excellent fishing spot..good scenery and air..I like the situation ...great...👍
I like the idea of this, do you think it would work on catching perch but with a smaller lure?
Definitely I did this the other day caught a decent size perch just walking along the river not paying attention next minute boom 😂
@@relaxradio5853 what lure ?

Are you using a abu garcia rod and reel combo ? I use the black max combo but I've never managed a fish on it
I got this combo too, super happy with it, and managed a Pike, Perch and Zander in the first week.....all small, but it's a start. Loving these Vids though DB, giving me lots of inspiration.
Nice, cant wait for winter pike fishing.
Greetings from northern Ireland.....subscribed
Hi mate. What angling club do you have to be a member of to fish this part of the canal?
Hi there, I’m upgrading my pike lure tackle iv watched loads of your videos, would you recommend a good medium to heavy rod and bait caster reel?? Cheers
Abu Garcia black max

Also a greate video..keep up the gd work mate ur very watchable!.
How do u know when u got one on the hook with out a float?
deffo going to try this method, nice one.
ok..so where can i buy some lures to catch them? So many to chose from.
Have you ever fished Sheffield canal near tinsley marina? Or have any tips for there
what's an good way to get nice sized trout from a lake?
Do you prefer the slow or moderate line thru trout for Pike on say Canals or rivers?
sink*
Nice video mate you walk very close to the edge of the bank though try stepping into the tow path a bit more and wearing some camo you'd be suprised by how many fish your probably spooking.
What location are you fishing? Great video
2020, oct, still here, you Rock Man!=)
You've got the right initials, Dan! Wrong side o't Pennines, but nobody's perfect! 😁
Amazing.. Nice place.. 👍
what a lad! thanks for the video! where abouts is the canal? looks like Castleford
Looks like Mirfield AC canal waters from altofts to stanley ferry. Nice fish mate. You,ve done well if it is that stretch.
Very productive method mate! Have not tried that before. Have you ever used a plaining board for that?
Paul Taylor are you polish by any chance? Pike are bony and not worth the eat... Plus highly illegal.
Planer boards are illegal in English waters, if seen by EA officer you WILL be prosecuted

Hi mate great video!! can you tell me what rod and reel your using there ? what casting weight is the rod ?
Just clicked on your list of tackle :) keep up the good work !!
That t-shirt is absolutely criminal
Great session
where do you get your lures from mate
Which stretch of what canal is that?
What canal is it?
I use a planner board absolutely fantastic for pike love the planner board absolutely fantastic ALIEN
I love the video what bait caster are you using.
Do you not need to strike since you're trawling
why do you hold the baitcaster like that while playing a fish? quality vid as always
Nice one fella 🙂👍
"leave a rod on the ground and some idiot WILL stand on it"
He had a mat and put fish on floor when we was taking hooks out of net😂 looked like 3ib first one
Where about is this mate? It looks like Leeds canal? Or is it Wakefield? I've just stared fishing and would love to try this method!
Cheers for the vid anyway, I've subscribed!
What reel is this?
Nice Work Earthling Quality Stuff
What Is That Beat ?
I think I'm a Jonah. I just fished a mile of bank, there and back without a sniff of a fish. Mind you the heron which was there was unluck too and he is an expert, not a beginner like me. 😀
Has anyone any idea where/which this canal is? Leeds Liverpool?

Richard Butler I
Blaine looks like a marshmallow when he caught that Amberjack with live bait
Crazy how the pike lunged away and and management to escape happens to me all the time
My 'would have been a new PB' double made a similar escape (not helped by sloping bank)!
where is that?
So what is the world record for a pike catch? 50lbs???
Nice video .
Suez Canal??
Good video mate
Nice one mate can see you no what your doing
I used to dip my lures in sardine juice from cans and i caught more when i dtarted doing so.
"lure" That lure is bigger than anything i have ever caught...

ok thanks
quality video
Who here in 2020 cuz lockdown
how I always make my way home , right up to the point that if I don't get of the canal I have walked by my house an me dinners gone cold again
your welcome
I’ll try this method since I’ve been twice this week 3/4 hour sessions and caught nothing 😢😂
I caught a 1.5lb perch doin that method this morning 🤟🏽
What lure?
@@coreylee5631it was a 3 inch silver an red soft bait
Pike fishing is easy in the UK. We can't catch fish in the Turkey because people is very unconscious. I can catch maybe one +1 kg fish in a year.
i caught my first pike last saturday
Location ?
Who is still doing this with line thru Swimbaits in 2021.
wind muff
You make it hard for yourself landing the fish pay more line out & lift the rod tip up so you can have more control of the fish 🎣
