Few hours with my eldest lad

[Bangersanmash 2,847]

Morning guys hope all are well. Going for a few hours on the canal & River with the lad this morning. Managed to get a break from work. So thought I'd call him see if he fancys a few hours on the water. What's best advise for the jelly type lures. He's bought loads of them off temu. How would you set the hook on them. A know there's a few ways of doing it. But who's had success with them and tried the diffrent setting of the hooks.

Either jighead hook with a weight moulded on ,which is more fun can knock them about the bottom or straight retrieve , or you could drop shot which is a lead on bottom and a hook say 12 inches off bottom, lots of weed about now so not the easiest time to lure fish . Maybe buy a couple of weedless lures and just do straight retrieves?

Went on local river & a man made type of pit. Both covered in that horrible dull algae shite that's from shit works. This area used to be good for chub , trout , plenty of perch. Hit the little stretch of canal first. Then headed onto this pit type water nothing. Then onto the river. Ended up having one fish. All the natural oxygen weed was covered in that shite on the bottom. f***ing guts me because the river Calder in this area was cleaning up 15 years ago. Only past 5 year it's gone down hill with this c**ts at Yorkshire water.

Yeah I took my kids last time in the warm weather and the canal was chocker with normal weed, I should've done a recky , gonna head to a local mud pond with them soon for some tiddler snatching. Not my bag but it'll be more engaging for them for an hour at least lol

Not near me the weeds covered in shite from shit works horrible stuff. Used to have like grass type of weed in river an bits in the canal. Everything from surface to the bottom is covered in this shite just smother everything. Some may have come off farm land too.
