Coarse Fishing in England during Winter

[teishu]

What is the coarse fishing like this time of year in england, im thinking of going to my local canal but not sure whether it would be worth it ? any thoughts ?

The fishing should be OK. The trick is to find the fish and feed little as the fish won't want to move far to feed!

What sort of baits would be worth a try ? the canal is quite coloured most of the year round.

I was thinking maggot and sweetcorn.. Not sure whether to ground bait maybe just a little loose feed.

With out knowing the canal it would be a good idea to have a chat to your local tackle dealers or before you go fishing pop down the canal and chat to any anglers who are fishing it

Fish are held up in tight shaols and finding is the key but feed fish light and feed litttle and often and you will get them

OK thanks for the advice i'll pop down to the tackle shop as soon as the rain stops.

Sweet corn is a good bright bait, you could try adding a good spicy flavour to it.
A lot of fish do like the spicy flavours in the cold months.
Sausage spice and chilly powder are good additives!

Ill giv sweetcorn a go too then :) see what spices we have in the cupboard
