Nice video. The only thing I would say is, you want to be using at least a 100 mm x 3mm acrylic twig for it to be safe all of the time, it should also only be 1/2 inch from the hook to ensure you don't hit one of the main arteries which is near to the corner of the mouth. This is particularly important for bigger fish and when using dead baits. You will get away with a braided hook links with smaller fish, again bigger fish will go through it with the wrong set up. The NAC have loads of guidance on safe eel fishing.

Andy Findlay was doing this 14years ago the video is on KZbin really easy to make

unfare test if u scalded some pellets same as u spoded out i think method would have won in my 30years carping experence xx

i caught a 5lb perch, but i was fishing a private area of a river where i worked. gutted

Just watched your video and those perch are what everyone wants to catch. Beautiful fish. Well done. I have subscribed to your channel. 👍🎣🎣🎣

On a silty lake bed which is soft, the method feeder may not fish as effectively due to it embedding in the mud . Unlike the pva bag , which will have a softer landing on the soft bottom and fish more effectively.

I’d love an 8ft 0.75lb rod from korum or a pair with the Shadows in 2500 size, that would be magic for Perch and Roach fishing.

Tinned corn for the hook, frozen for feed 😉

effective...but kinda removes the challenge .. . . .all the elastic stick merchants will spit the dummy out if you do too well in a match with it.....

I can't stand Rob Brydon. I know that doesn't seem relevant but his irritating, slimey voice has popped up on every ad-break so far.

Me thinking oh it must be 4+ lbs and he says 3lbs 😂 video cuts short anyway so ill never know 😂 great job guys 😂

What kind of float was used on this fishing trip?

Pay attention ffs

I had a 4lb perch. Best fish of my life.

Great video as usual and what a result. Congratulations Steve. Look forward to watching your quest the 4lb.

Nice channel mate 💷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Super high quality videos. The cinematography vibe makes it look super official and well funded. Great stuff 👍🏻

Perfect venue well filmed And very well presented love roving fishing on my local river lea . Is similar to the wensum Keep it simple No need for complicated rigs and mountains of kit

Great vid guys cheers 👍👍

We saw absolutely nothing, zilch , nada zero. Waste of time.

Honestly my mate fishes roach as live bait and has had 4lb perch told him it had to be some sort of record

What’s the point in this video,you don’t show anything

Great fish. Video skills need a bit of work tho. Regardless, good job mate.

Is weighing on a boat accurate?

well done mate great video,i had my pb perch of 3lb 5oz from the broads in the late 90's during a boat match,cant beat the good old lob worm.

Could i ask why you fish with an open bail arm?? You don't see it very often these days!

Do you catch only on Ebb tide or Flood as well on the Bure?

They still give out licences to catch Elvers which is absolutely bonkers considering how rare they are and the journeys they have to take to spawn.

Was it 3 lb your vidio ran out..

1:49 thats what its all about

Nice perch. I had a 4pound 2 perch .from brighnoth stretch of the seven 2years ago.got me in angling times.love perch fishing

I don't weigh and I don't take pictures. Never understood it

Love perch!!! 😋 YUM ❤❤❤❤

Made one of these a decade ago with a little float and swim feeder, thought I’d cracked it, I’d get the roach and rid going on maggot then the mud pigs would move in. Thought I was on to something but then found it was a big thing at the time to do something similar with biscuits ect (can’t remember its name) but shows there is nothing new in fishing, some smart ass would have always beat you to it 👍. This method is however great fun on commercials where sitting behind alarms is a bit over kill, it’s summer, they cruising, you can get them really going, nice for those 2hr on way home from work missions,scratch the itch ect

Well chuffed for you Steve 😃😃 Just love big perch not had one for years 🙁

Well chuffed for you Steve 😃😃 Just love big perch not had one for years 🙁

Well done 🎉 I think you should still Persist with the still water, please

Great video as always, but when do we see part 3 of the perch video hopefully soon and hopefully you get a 4lber

Gotta love big Perch!

These feeders are designed to be loaded from the bottom, not from the top

Great video well done mate stunning Perch 🎉🐟🎣

Great fish. Nice to see Chris on camera briefly. When are we going to see him on the beach again?

Congrats Widget 👍🏼 Justin is a top guide 👌

Congrats mate!

Love it mate...the smile says it all ...I'm on that same hunt for a 3lb perch I've been close a couple of occasions and even quite possibly caught one but left my scales at home 🤦 keep the perch content coming 👍...Great fish and congrats on the pb.

Well done Widget, fantastic result for you guys.

Nice one, im on the same hunt for that first 3lber! Just wanted to add your comment on the scales zeroing running out o time - why do manufacturers always set the time limit so low?!

Ok mate thank you for getting back to me, this Tuesday gone i one my 7th match, and fishing another match tomorrow, at the same venue, its going to be a bit breezy 🎣🎣

Fantastic fish!!!! Id be happy like you , with any of those perch today well done,my pb is the same as yours and has been for around 20 years now,I caught mine at newby hall on the river ure ,in north Yorkshire,they really are a special fish,and like any fisherman you remember everything about how, when & where 🎣🎣🎣👍

Very nice video, congrats on the 3.6 Pearch 👍

Smashed it Steve, that was a good perch mate 👍 top content as always, lads. Keep up the good work.
