Top Perch Methods in winter

[Dick Dastardly]

Basicly mate! I reckon you would call a "Lob Worm" a "Night Crawler" as opposed to a worm?

[Thecarpdude]

I will be using Maggots and worm, Over chopped and mashed maggot and mashed bread! Great perch baits!

Too true - that's why I included the word 'genuine'

 

The difference between a 3lb perch and a 4lb perch is enormous - 25%. The same as the difference between a 30lb carp and a 40lb carp!

 

A friend of mine has had a couple of 4s now, very hard won fish requiring an awful lot of effort off the beaten track. When I asked him to describe what a 4 looks like he said simply 'you'll know a 4 when you see it!'

And you are asking us for advice?!? I'd be surprised if everyone on here put together has had that many. Perhaps you guessed a little to high?

254 3lbers and no 4s - shows how rare they are!

 

How are you catching all the 3s?

[Dales]

And I always thought 3's are rare, well they are for me. I can remember every single one of them, makes my five 3lbs & one 4 lb in 42 years look a little shabby

 

I guess the only advice would be oddly to try fishing some other place that may hold even bigger fish as you don't have a problem catching. I would guess they just don't go to 4 in the places you fish. But who could turn down fishing the venues you do if they hold so many 3's.

Then there is absolutely nothing any of us can teach you about catching big perch then Hawk.............other than maybe how to weigh them properly?

Something smells fishy....

I thought I was doing OK - but going back in my diaries I have 44, 3lbers going back to my 1st one in 1999 (and I didn't get another till 03/04 season since when I've been targetting them a bit more....)

Hawk,

 

You're up?

 

Sometimes mortals just don't understand. I have at least 10,000 forty pound carp - a 100 or more fifty's and no doubt several much heavier. Unfortuantely for this forum no one is impressed. I was a commercial carp fisherman for the catfood processors.
