  • In this video I decided to take a look at what goes on beneath the surface on the local canal. I placed a camera into likely looking spots along with some bait like corn, pellets, maggots and bread. The footage I managed to get was amazing. Some really clear shots of the fish reacting to the baited swims. We also captured every canal species known to the stretch on camera which was pretty cool. It was hard work making this video, so I hope you enjoy it!

      When I first started lure fishing I was fishing under a motorway bridge. I caught a holdall. Whilst dragging it out it became obvious that there was something large and spherical within. My imagination took over and I was convinced there was a head in that bag. Eventually I opened it and it was a large rock and a huge pile of stolen credit cards lol.

    I was in Leeds city centre yesterday and in one of the small docking bays at the beginning of the Leeds Liverpool canal ( directly outside Fazenda restaurant if you want to see just how small on Google) I initially spotted thousands of fry, and then the ubiquitous shoals of small roach and a couple of perch. Then when my eyes got accustomed I immediately saw 10/12 very decent bream at the bottom all of about 3-5lbs. Then two jacks and two fingerling pike before spotting one that was easily 7lb hanging motionless just below the surface under some weed. To top it all off my son point and said 'what is that!?'. Flat on the bottom was one of the largest pike I've ever seen, I've caught them to 18lb and this was bigger, and so fat, though the reason for the girth was obvious. There was a pike tail still sticking out of its mouth. Incredible to see in such a busy place.

      I’ve tried it and it seemed to work. Put some bits of fish in after a couple of sessions (My thinking being that if they ate the fishy bits whilst I was fishing, they may not eat my bait!) then went back and had 8 Pike out of that swim! Not exactly scientific, I know…

    • @simbob_2838
      @simbob_2838 Рік тому +4

      Pre-baiting with old deadbaits or stuff going out of date can be effective
      I always feeder fish whilst pike fishing, building a good swim of prey fish encourages pike into the area and they will stalk around the swim looking for a feed.

    I really love these kinds of videos. Its very interesting seeing all the different types of species showing up on the camera. I personally like fishing bream alot. Im only 15 years old but my pb bream is 6.43kg. The problem I have when fishing bream is keeping big groups of bream in the place Im fishing. I often use bread and sweet corn as ground bait trying to lure the fish in. And big groups of bream usually come in but they only stay for a few minutes before they go away even though I cast out new bread and corn. A specific video targetting bream with this underwater camera would be really cool. Me personally think I could learn alot of how the bream feed on the ground bait and definately catch more good bream. Thanks!

    Canal water is surprisingly not dirty at all, it just gets mixed with all the silt when boats pass through. I cycle the Birmingham canal network a lot, and ironically enough - considering you'd assume it'd be one of the dirtiest of them all - because more or less no boats go down certain bits anymore, quite often it's so crystal clear you can see right to the bottom.
