“Ye Bastard”…all been there with ducks! Pain in the arse! 🤣 Nearly 100K 👍

There is something magical about roach and rudd. I would rather catch a one pound roach than a double figure carp any day of the week. Brilliant stuff Chris

Hello it’s Andrew I saw you earlier on today when you were carp fishing and I took a picture with you with my friend I wish you well on your Carp fishing and hope I’m in your next video lol best of luck 🤞🤞

This guy has skill, no doubt about that, he certainly exceeds me, his confidence, commitment, eye for detail, passion, all these things make you a better angler. But he is absolutely blessed with the waters he gets to fish!

Best all round angler on KZfaq! Another Top video Chris!🎣🎣🎣

Loving your enthusiasm and the fact you fish for multi species, not just carp. All quality fish should be respected. Hate the way some throw the “wrong” specimens back with disrespect.

Always had a real soft spot for the larger Roach and Rudd, the colouring of the Rudd being especially pleasing and the peppy Perch like fighting of the Roach. Used to fish every free min I had until work got hold of me and my tackle got half inched, watching these videos really brings back the hunger for those early mornings and lazy evenings on the bank! Great content!

Love a big rudd, one of the most beautiful of British fish.

Well Chris wonderful days fishing for you and great viewing for us. Some really good fish caught on what we used as kids, (my mum was always moaning about the bread bin being empty again). Down here on the Way Navigation, there's plenty of Roach and Rud to be caught and as you say 8/12oz the best.1 pounders are rare. Was wondering about catching a decent size Dace plenty on the canal and river but getting a large one is elusive..'go on show us how' 🤔. Always eager to catch the latest video. Thanks Ginger.

Brilliant footage and commentary Chris. Excellent net of your intended species. Cheap and simple way to catch fish. All you have to do is put the time in to find them, which isn’t as easy as people think. I do a lot of sight fishing in NZ and when you hook a fish doing this method you really can’t describe the awesome feeling you get. Hopefully other anglers will try this after watching this video.

Banging session . Pleasure to watch. Thank you..

This Channel Never Gets Boring.

Great video, some great Bream, Rudd and Roach. Really enjoyed. 🐟👍

I grew up roach fishing on the lee navigation canal in the 70's and caught decent fish to about 1lb 12oz on hemp. You'd be lucky to catch a 8oz one now the stretch having been poached of virtually everything. I'm now based in cardiff and would love to be able to have a day like that. I catch loads of carp on freelined bread plus occasional bream and the odd roach but there is nowhere where that sort of sport is available. You are so lucky! plus you're a very able fisherman! great vid

Thanks again for yet another quality fishing video! Cheers!

Awesome day, love those ones

very well done Chris, lovely roach and rudd, Thank you, 👍👍

Nice one Chris ,catching something different . Love a Good Roach , they put up a good fight too .

There u are... cracking the big roach...n rudd..great way to fish for em...

Superb session. Thanks for sharing. The quality of the fish is stunning

Great stuff. The water photography was amazing.

Beautiful Roach there and that Rudd, nice slabs too. That's an awesome stretch of canal and great fishing👍

Love the channel mate! Great videos in general💪🏻

Some cracking fish there and what a way to catch them and a lovely place and another great vlog

Well done ,fishing looks great where you are. Better than where I live that’s for sure . Tight lines.

Love those roach n rudd Chris fair play 👍

Amazing, yet again 😁👏👏👏👏👏👏

Roach fishing one of the best fish, great vid mate.........

I tell you what kid, you must have the best stretch of cut in the country! I live on a boat on the staffs Worcester, and although it's decent, it's not got those lovely tench and the rest of the big fish you catch. We got some big carp, pike and perch though. Not like they were in the 70s,if I had half a dozen roach that would be a good day!

I have watched all your Videos and enjoyed and learnt from all of them. I really enjoy this one because like you, I have accidently caught some big Roach and Rudd. This Vid has inspired me to go out and roam/ target these species on a particular water where I know big Rudd live 🙂 Love the way you bait with bread. Simple and effective 🙂

I really do love Roach, great fish nice one.mate, great channel 👍

What a great session!😀 It's lovely to see you enjoying catching so many good quality Roach, with the number of Pike in your canal I'm surprised they weren't all injured in some way! I'm not surprised you started catching the Rudd when it was getting darker; I remember my sister and I catching our first Rudd from a lake when it was getting quite late🌛 on exactly the same method you used today - Floating Bread🍞!! We'd only ever caught Carp on that before so it was a great way to end the evening! Thanks for sharing your fishing adventures with us!😄

Another great video thank you for talking the time to share Hope you catch plenty more on you're next visit to the canal

oh bruv can't believe how clear your canal is i take it no boats come through ours is a dark green and when the boats come through all the mud kicks up and it's constant never gets chance to settle,every time i go local canal it's always murky and nothing is feeding....i mostly go to local pool for the carp or the river severn which is 2 mile away and i'm always catching chubb on your trotting garlic luncheon meat down river not got a barbell yet but that method is killing it many thanks for your tips and vids love them

I love this video brilliant mate it’s great to have a change!

That was great! Quality roach are awesome

absolutely brilliant mate some great watercraft there pal.What a fantastic looking place to wet a line as well.thanks for the upload just keep doing what your doing and ill keep watching.Well done

G'day Chris, awesome video and awesome Roach and Bream . All the best form down under mate 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beautiful Species, For me Roach Rudd even Dace are so beautiful. I usually grate 3 or r to 4 slice of Bread and a lot of cheese,All together in a bag,spoonful of tumeric and one of Garlic, mix together and use as a paste...........Can't go wrong

I love the smell of landing net in the morning

Big rudd are very underrated! My favourite fish. Great video.

This really fun to watch defo makes me want to hit the banks.

Awesome roach & bream …

Great you have inspired me to go floating bread fishing on a secret little pond in the middle of the woods I know.

It's funny to see that british anglers hates ducks too like us in germany 🤣🤣

Just love roach!

Great vid mate, think I'll try this method next time I'm out.

Great video as usual nice to see some decent roach..it must be such an advantage fishing where you live being able to see the fish you are after as opposed to fishing blind in coloured water....as you know the fish are in your swim rather than hoping they are there...tight lines

Excellent sesh Chris. Great to see you catching some cracking Roach and that Rudd was superb. Just an idea but maybe try an artificial cube of floating bread alongside the real stuff. See if it sorts out any of the better specimens?

Brilliant content dude as always. Really cool to see you fishing for 'regular' fish, and you caught some crackers. Good work fella.

Nice to see this. Just a canal near town. And a loot of nice fish. In Serbia we have a lot of rivers and lakes, but also a loot of people who don`t like to release fish after catching. =(

Hello man, im from vietnam nice too meet you

Enjoying the videos away from the predators Chris although i appreciate they get you the most views (and i still enjoy them!). Caught my biggest roach on a 15mm pop up fishing for carp yesterday 😆

I literally lived on the grand Union when I was a teenager loved canal fishing.

Quality fish them. Great vid 👌🏻

Gros video my man cool too see you super spot !!

have been watching your channel and videos for a long time now you make catching fish look so easy its frightening lol im from glasgow and reguarly fish the forth and clyde canal apart from the odd jack pike and small perch i hae being giving jigging ago but jst cant get to grips with it

had that happen once too, when fishing for carp under a bridge, got a bite and it was a bream. Also with the fly you can catch them high in the water, but on floating fies, very hard.

Great video Chris maybe a video on canal carp at some point. Keep it up look forward to seeing your videos

What a canal streach you have

Good luck bro 👍👍😁

Catching bream on serfice is very rare fair play mate , Tight lines!

Awesome vid thanks.

Hi nice fish!

Chris - some beautiful Roach there, taken on what many would describe as an 'unusual method'... Big Roach are awesome creatures - back in the early 80's (when I was younger!), we used to fish for Livebait on the Regents Canal with poles over the top of the dying marginal weed - small pinch of flake looking for small roach to go Piking with. On so many occasions, I caught Roach between 1lb - 1lb 8oz - and believe it or not, we HATED these fish as we put them back because they were too big for livebait! Bread has always been deadly for Roach - those days were before the advent of the 'Breadpunch' for us - but when we found it, we slaughtered the Roach, both on pole and waggler - livebaiting had stopped for us - we simply enjoyed bagging up on these lovely fish!

Will have to try this out at Heybridge Basin now that the walk on water brigade have probably disappeared!!

Nice to see " real fishing " rather than the fixed line heavy weights cast 30 yes to haul in some poor catp that has probably been hooked a 100 times.Returning to fishing after decades I use a 13ft match rod ,with light float tackle,still catch carp ,roach, rudd, decent sized bream on 12/14 hook size , small baits, bread, corn, maggots.The cost of my total kit is probably less than the trolleys the Carp anglers use to cart around their thousands of pounds worth of kit.

Awesome video! Your channel seems really cool!! Just subbed too!👍

They are some quality canal roach

Nice roach

I Don't know which canal you're on, I guess a southern one..But some of the canals up here in the the NW are deserted of anglers now . They aren't full of stunted carp but you can get 20-30lb of silvers..It's proper fishing 😊😊

Me morning go too!!Cheers!!;-)!!

What is it about roach?!. I've been lucky enough to fish in some fantastic places and caught many specimen fish. However, none give you that thrill of a huge roach. It's just a primal feeling when landing a 2lb + roach. And let's face it, a specimen roach is a thing of utter beauty. P.s. can you get polarising filters for your camera so we can see the fish you're seeing!?. Lol.

I fish them all the time brought me brother fishing for the first time caught the biggist rudd iv seeing pulled out the canal..

First session i did for canal carp i got done by a bream out competing the carp feeding on top

I occasionally keep live baits in my landing net. Any not used always go bk. Only livebait on venues which allow it.

Never thought of floating bread on the canal I do at carp places I’ll try sometime

If you got rudd out there you can get them on a feeding frenzy with the smaller fish ,,with maggots a few and often and they will compete for bait when they do the first to the surface food wins...= top feeders rudd and they're the best

Pukka session ginge 👊🏽

Top angling as always Chris 👏 Am I right in thinking you just have a couple of split shot on your line when free lining bread? I always wonder how you manage to cast it so far? If so which size works best? Cheers 👍

You should come to Nottingham n fish Radcliffe weir, me n my friend had a 4 pound breem and there's apparently there's a 5 pounder that jumps out alot too

In sweden in a lake i fish for tench and bream i have caught one 830g roach and a few around 500-700 another lake 10 min away smallest roach i got 510g got a scale with me so weight them

Loving these videos Chris... I must get back into this hobby. Been 20 years since I last fished... How would you rate the Matt Hayes set from Argos ?

Hi Chris good job mate well done could you mention what time and which canal or rivers you going for fishing?

Like minimalist fishing also

With you saying bream coming up to surface made me remember a time I was fishing pole with just a 5" hook length on maggit and had a cracking 7lb bream off the surface I couldn't belive it lol edit: do you go canal fishing with the bains too Chris

Duck : eats bread Chris : Ye bastard!

Those fish throw caution to the wind they must be starving, either crayfish are eating everything on the bottom or the fish are trapped in that pound and can't spread out to find food either way never thought that bream would take bread off the top, loved the video by the way!

Love the videos, what float did you use with the bread flake?

They good roach

What canal do you fish. It never disappoints

Nice change of prey

Some nice lives there 🤣

Yea good luck trying this method on the cut here in Stoke on Trent...Jesus Christ your water looks clean enough drink ha ha.

Your canals packed

Nice. What u got on the line? a float stop? or a small float?

I highly recommend trying elderberries this time of year, float or ledgering them. They are free bait and they normally separate the larger roach from the small roach as well

Any chance you could do a video on small whip fishing for Gudgeon m8. Never see them now.

What Polarised glasses do you use for your sessions?

Do you catch many Zander Chris. Im always on lookout for predator venue's. I do also fish for all species but my passion is specimen predators. But I love to target speci's of all species. I carp fish too but who doesn't these days. Lol
