Perch fishing

[PerchMan]

Hi folks I'm just new to this forum and would like to say if anyone needs any tips on fishing for perch to maybe reply in this thread or pm? I have been fishing for perch for most my years in Scotland especially in ponds I have just recently caught my pb at 3 lb 10 oz

PerchMan,

 

Welcome to AN !

 

You're in the right spot. Search around a bit in the COURSE FISHING section. The UK takes their perch very seriously.

Hi,

Im going to a mill pond with small weir and off shoot stream tomorrow,

Any perch tips would be helpful, i've got small spinners, worms, maggots, ground bait & floats and feeders.

What setup would you suggest? Do you fish on the bottom for perch?

I have a question too.

 

Does the commercial-style perching (e.g. fishing prawns/lobs/deads in little well stocked ponds) work as well in summer as it does in winter? What's different? I assume the other species are more of a problem, especially carp, but do you catch perch too?

Not at all Anderoo. Up here getting them on prawns or deads would be just plain luck, twitched lobs will sort the wee-boys from the daddy perch though.

 

deads are even harder with me only having 1 on deads ever, even scaled down tackle will not really produce perch on deads or lives. it's just not something you here a lot of up here.

Hmm I'm tempted to try it out tonight and find out!

Cheers Andy and rich. Rich, give it a go and let me know! I'm tempted to try the local commercial style ponds where I've been stalking carp (shhh!).
