Catching UK perch on lures for the first time | Learning how to fish with lures | Jig and Drop Shot

We took our Social Media Coordinator out for her first lure fishing experience and she got the hang of it very quickly and managed to catch her first ever perch.
Using a combination of drop shot and jig fishing with shads and creature baits, Millie soon got into the swing of things and her confidence grew as the day went on.

Well done Millie, Yea First fish a perch ,still my favourite species 50 years later.

[@sparky36199]

Good on you Millie. Glad you caught and enjoyed yourself. It's refreshing to see girls lure fishing. Tight lines for future fishing trips.

[@FoxRageTV]

Thank you for watching 🙂 Millie really enjoyed herself and will be back after the perch again soon 🎣

[@matthewmullins6801]

Perch was my first fish caught float fishing with my dad, and it has held a very special place in my heart ever since. I love my lure fishing and have caught my PB of 3lb 2ozs on the dropshot just like you wre using in the video, so keep trying and you never know what you might catch

[@leftmono1016]

My pb exactly the same as yours! But caught on a 5 inch shad, 5/0 hook meant for pike. Next cast a 1lb perch took the same lure, very greedy.

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

Perch - from the Trent -Mersey canal , and it was not normal colours , it was some kind of albino as it was pale goldfish colour , eventually caught one the right colour , Mr Crabtree goes fishing book had a brilliant drawing of parch , fished for them ever since , small perch were easy to catch when I was a boy , not so many about now it seems .

[@simonneedler6302]

👍 Well done Millie 🎣

[@Snarf_spike.]

Hi there very well done Millie perch fishing gives you a lot of fun, have well a question both of you the same rod? Thanks.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Cant remember the small details. But i remember i started fishing in the early or mid 90s when I was around 10 or 11. Family friend took me out on the River Lea and set me up with a pole. caught the usual bag of silvers - roach, dace, rudd etc etc. I wouldnt say i loved fishing but I very much enjoyed it but it wasnt till the same family friend took me dead baiting for pike that i really started to love it more and back in those days it wasnt uncommon to end the session with at least 4 or 5 (or even more!) decent pike. Shame Millie didnt hook into a pike. I know they are a very big fans of the spikey shad as I seem to catch a lot of them when out targeting the perch.

Blimey....My first fish was a Gudgeon back late '60's/ early '70's as a little kid 7/8 years old from the Nene in the centre of Peterborough....it was my late mother who taught me about fishing weirdly enough....she had an old split cane rod kicking around etc....I've recently taken it up again after a dozen years off....and I've had a few Perch and very small Pike on small lures....including a Scorpion one.... Good giggle....enjoyed that....Looks like I'll have to introduce my good lady (who's never fished before) to the humble Perch....

[@FoxRageTV]

Great to hear you’ve come back to fishing again. The Gudgeon was a first fish for many of us 🙂 great memories. Yes definitely introduce her to a few perch 🎣

[@ihcfn]

Perch, still love 'em now!

[@FoxRageTV]

Was it on a lure or bait? Unforgettable first fish to catch either way 🙂

[@ihcfn]

@@FoxRageTV Maggot but, love catching them on lures too. Lovely fish.

[@johndingwall1210]

A pike on lure from a local canal and I still love lure fishing canals many years later .

[@FoxRageTV]

Canals are great places to fish with some great pike in many places 🐊🎣

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Great video for me was a few small Roch in the canal in Tullamore Offaly

[@FoxRageTV]

Thanks for watching 🙂do you still fish for roach?

[@Cavanpikefishing]

@@FoxRageTV no not as much pike mostly had a nice one about half 10am or 11 and I love the fishing for perch and trout and got your lures today in the post from the win over Christmas thank u👊🎣

[@Alltackledup]

Hi just got my first jig style rod, its a Fox warrior ultra light 2 to 8g and bought the warrior 2500 reel.. is this to big would the 1000 reel be better. And what braid should i use for perch. Any help would be great as just starting out. Gary

[@squidstoe1994]

Be cool to see more like this. Noticed that the braid on both reels was twisted up, i get same trouble. is it something that can be stopped? ive tried spooling my reels in almost everyway i can find instruction on how to do and still eventually end up with this issue. Any tips out there?

[@FoxRageTV]

Thanks for watching. We have plenty more content coming. This happens with braid sometimes but we never experienced any issues with performance.

[@sleeka91]

Perch fishing with my old man on a park lake. Still hunting them 26 years later and even passing it to my 4 year old son who had his first fish 2 weeks ago. Of course it was a perch!

[@FoxRageTV]

Lovely 🙂 keep passing on that knowledge and passion for fishing and the outdoors 🌤️🎣

[@SuperPikemike]

Perch on the Shropshire Union canal with my dad probably started aged 5 ❤

[@FoxRageTV]

Lovely first fish to catch and great memories 🙂🎣

[@tenkarapondfishing4611]

Greetings from across the pond. These canals I keep seeing, on your channel, the Ginger Fisherman....are these canals all over England, or are they concentrated in a particular region?

[@FoxRageTV]

Greetings 🙂 We have canals pretty much all over and they generally offer great fishing. You can learn more here canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network 👍🏼🎣

[@leftmono1016]

Birmingham (in the centre of England) has more miles of canal than Venice!

[@richardcarrington7774]

[@FoxRageTV]

[@mikestephens5549]

Do you do any charity match's for any one to enter for perch fishing or if u know any Groups in northwest or. Away to find out

[@patwalsh2739]

Like it first fish ballan wrasse

[@FoxRageTV]

Thanks for watching. What a first species to catch! We love Wrasse fishing 🎣

[@dannyfishinguk7798]

when targeting perch on Tiny jigs with a 1-2g jighead is a trace always needed ?

[@leftmono1016]

I’ve had 8lb pike on 50mm creature lures. And lots similar. They will take anything if they’re hunting. Use a thin wire trace, 0.2mm and it’s pretty much invisible 👍

[@ivritlii9872]

Hi, Could you make all your softlures free from toxic phthalates? Then I would fish them!
