PERCH

[shadstu64]

who like me  hunts the magnificent fish thats the perch <(((>(whats your favourite method  bait  lures ??...i enjoy fishing shads and lead heads from my kayak ..and float fished live baits 

[Izzetafox]

I am still learning this skill Stu.

I have had success with vertical drop shooting and cast and retrieve, very slowly drop shooting. Successful lure...1-2" shads, fish replicants and curly tails all in a variety go colours.

It's something I want to focus on to try and get my first 2 pounder.

I'm yet to try for perch from the yak but I love live baiting for them or a fat lob. Prawns are good, the perch in my profile pic was a nice 3lb13 on a ledgered prawn

[Izzetafox]

3-13 ? That's a serious perch Andy.

Well done mate.

Cheers, it's my PB so far but had a few more 3lb ones from the same place. Love perch, even when they do take the hook right down!!

Did you mean little ol' me to come along on the 6th? I'm working but would be up for another time...
The only places I have local to me for decent perch are lakes I can't use my kayak on or tiny rivers which I couldn't turn my yak around on! My sister lives near the Basingstoke canal which I've been meaning to try so I'll have to go drop her a visit.

[Izzetafox]

Sorry Graham I should have put... I am at a tackle shop THE NEXT DAY.

It is at Dave Mutton's shop beside the Coventry Canal. He is doing a lure demo day and invited me to take a couple of kayaks down for the lads to try.

The shop is Specimen Fishing UK nice shop but you have to leave the credit card at home or you will come out with a carrier bag full.

My favourite method , had two 3 lbers on the same day using this last year. The unhooking method saves injury too
