Sight Fishing Big Perch In Crystal Clear Canal

For this video I went in search of big perch on the local canal. The water has been crystal clear recently which has made it awesome for stalking fish. The bait of choice was juicy lob worms. As well as catching tens of chunky little perch i also managed a few jack pike and some nice specimen perch as the storm started to roll in. I even had to cut probably 20 perch from the video as i just caught so many. Twitching worms for perch has to be one of the most efficient ways to catch them.

Well its been a rough week and a half. Everyone in the house is ill including myself. I didn't go fishing for a week and a half helping to look after the poorly kids. Finally yesterday i went out to a forgotten pond caught a cracking mid double pike then somehow lost the main camera in the woodland meaning not only am i down a £700 camera but also lost all my footage. So anyways uploads should resume as usual next week 😂.... hopefully

Perch are some of the most beautiful fish. Love the colours on them

Having taken up lure fishing recently, I've been watching your vids a lot. Great bite sized content. No blatant advertising. Lots of different techniques and different fish. You have a great channel and you've certainly helped me actually start to catch fish on the lures. Thank you. Might need to get the worms out now though 😂

Another very enjoyable video, think it was the late Richard Walker that said there's no bigger fish than a big perch, stunning.

That was an awesome session. I can't wait to find some nice perch like that this fall as well. I love fishing for perch during the fall when all the big ones come out and try to fatten up for the winter. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the double perch! Never seen anything like that before - amazing! Great specimens and side by side! Hope you're all feeling better. Thanks again for the great vids.

Dafuq, even if I would try all day to catch a pike with a worm i wouldn't be able to manage, you landed 2 in a row haha. Nice video! Lovely canal man, looks very promising.

Reminds me of my childhood where I fished for Pike and Perch in my local lake :)

Chris you make awesome videos, this one is no exception. Stalking and light tackle great way to fish, good way to take up fishing on a budget too 👍

Great way to catch perch mate, takes me back to my youth catching them in ditches this way 😂

That has got to be the cleanest canal I've ever seen, must be nice to have a stretch where narrow boats don't dump their shit in the water.

"Crystal clear canal"....didn't know they existed...my local canal when I lived in England was the Oxford at Rugby....the clearest I ever saw that was when I could see 6" down! However nice to see that they do exist and are fun places to fish!

Good video Chris hope you and your family gets better soon.
