This Video was all about how I travel to and find new locations to fish. Whether its small streams or forgotten ponds. It takes a combination of Biking, maps and the trusty drone and can be hard work, but nearly always rewarding!

Sweet video! I use an e-bike to get around the massive dam where I live. So easy and so much faster than walking! I can basically do from where one river enters the dam all the way into the little village, about 24kms one way, and find where the fish are! The e-bike is a godsend especially for my tired old bones! 🤣

Riding along with that lure swinging around made me cringe an shudder. Hook snags your trousers as you're peddling down and ouch those hooks are deep. I had to skip it forward lol. I know youve been hooked before but it reminded me of when i was a kid biting shots on to line near the hook and the rod slipped off the rest and pulled the hook into my bottom lip. I've not bitten a shot on to line since. I accept the roasting 😂.

We all do silly things from time to time. I nearly castrated myself pulling a spinner out of a tree once. Got it snagged in a tree on an island and walked backwards trying to get it out. It shot out like a bullet with a crack and thankfully I was wearing baggy trousers because it actually got hooked in the loose material and missed everything important. Now I turn around when I get snagged and am trying to pull it free lol.

I have the waterway wanderers permit and live about 20mins walk from the local canal - The river is also here but a stupidly large 10+ mile stretch is rented out by a club which means no-one else can fish there and Ive only ever seen a handful of people fishing there. Like you I wanted to ride a bike down the canal so I can get to places that are allowed by the waterway wanderers permit. But the likelihood of me getting pushed off it and stolen or it being stolen when I lay it down to start fishing is very very obscenely high. I can hike 6-8miles to where i need to go but even if I lighten up my pack and only take what i need. hiking 6-8miles with food, water and fishing gear for a few hours of fishing is hardly going to be fun. especially If I also need to walk back the same way afterwards. I hate it but such is life.

I couldn't see your rod close enough to tell if you have your lure hooked into the eye of your rod or not? Just something I learned earlier this year on fish locker and he said you should always hook your lure or hook onto the scaffolding of the rod eyes 👀 because if you hook onto a rod eye 👁 during travel the hooks can chip your rod eyes as they are made of porcelain and that can cause all sorts of problems, anyway it's a tip I've passed on to a few people as it's one of those things personally I never knew about nor did my fishing buddies.

@@waltgrisly509 - same with most clubs, but they normally have an agreement regarding access with the landowner. If the water doesn’t belong to a club you’re most likely on private land. Which usually doesn’t go down well. On the other hand, trying these places and meeting the landowner or farmer is probably the only way of asking permission to fish.

@@barnzYT Fly fishermen are very opposed to using bait. Despite its reputation for being snobby, fly fishers tend to be very helpful. It's common practice to be told where the trout are active and be given the fly that's been enticing the trout. I doubt many carp anglers would be that helpful. Fly fishing is well worth exploring. You don't need much in the way of equipment and there are waters which don't charge very much for a day ticket. Reservoirs are a good place to start.

That first pike wasn't much bigger than the lure it took, that's the sort of size I'd use in a deep water mark for cod n Pollack n bass etc, pike are really greedy from what I've seen, we don't have pike on the isle of man we do have perch in an old abandoned lime stone quarry it also was stocked with brown and rainbow trout by the farmer who owned the land and he actually did it for us kids who only caught eels and unfortunately some idiot spoiled it by putting a tangle net along the edge which probably wiped out 80% of the trout and after the farmer found out he never stocked it again as he was just trying to do something nice and as usual one bad seed ruined it for the rest of us, such a shame cuz it was great fun for all my friends on the estate I lived and we were there almost every day and night until the netting and after that the fish were few and far between and that was 30 years ago so I imagine their are no trout in there with it being a limestone quarry it's probably to alkaline for them to breed, theirs still perch in there.
