  • Out with the deadbaits once again. The fishing had been hard recently on the lures with a few blanks behind me i decided dead baits were probably the way to go in this horrible cold snowy weather. Canal is the target for most of my sessions at the minuet as the rivers are completely flooded.

    I was fishing the Rochdale Canal in the summer between Middleton and Failsworth (just for small stuff) and pike were everywhere. I even caught a couple of jacks on maggot, but I saw fish 10lbs + in the shallows. There are plenty of decent sized fish in places, but actually getting 'em out of there seems to be a different matter entirely given the amount of blanks the lads who were piking were drawing.

    Hello dear friend.
    Thanks for your videos and channel. I always watch your videos with great pleasure. Especially interesting for me to watch the dead bait fishing, and the underwater shooting is amazing !! I am new to this kind of fishing and would like to ask you a question about the gear you are using. I noticed that when fishing with dead bait you use thick line. Please tell me what diameter of mono line you use and why don't you use braided line, because it is thinner with the same breaking loads?
    Best wishes from Russia!

      They asked me where I was going at that time of the morning (Holdall on left shoulder, seat on the right shoulder and carryall in the right hand) - I told him "Skiing - where do think I'm going with all this?"
