Fanter Fishing- Winter Perch and Pike fishing On the Norfolk Broads, Wroxham and Horning

A difficult 3 winter days on the Norfolk broads out of Wroxham and horning, ups and downs were had from 3 new PB's in the form of perch and pike, broken down boats and lost fish. Dropshotting for perch seemed to be the most productive and lure fishing for the pike.

I’d love to come to England and Pike fish, it seems like they are everywhere there! Where I live there is plenty of Bass, large and small mouth, Catfish, pan fish and Carp. Pike are a bit harder to come by!

[@FanterFishing]

DrFrankensteam hello bud, thanks for watching, yeah of you flew to the UK you could pretty much catch Pike anywhere to be honest, rigs and baits don’t have to be complicated. However if you were going to come to Europe to fish for pike then there are probably better country’s where they get a lot bigger :)

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Congrats on everybody's new PBs. That makes for an exciting trip.

[@FanterFishing]

Casual Carolina Fishing sure does, thanks for watching :)

[@josephbone1429]

[@Vermincinerator]

Great video guys, i fished the very spot at the beginning of your vid where the pigeons flew off in 1975 when i was a kid, my cousin lived about 150 yds away at the time, did not catch anything cos i had no idea what i was doing. keep it up

[@FanterFishing]

Ian Wilson great stuff Ian, would love to know what the broads were like in the 70/80’s for fishing, was there a good number of big pike and perch? Thanks for watching 👍

[@Vermincinerator]

@@FanterFishing By bro in Law had a caravan in Caister in the early 1980s we stayed there regularly and had fishing trips out to Ormesby broad, i did not pred fish then, just coarse but 40lb + bags of bream were the norm with some specimen roach and several 1,5lb plus perch were regularly caught, all on the feeder.

[@mikecha1957]

Very nice pike and perch guys...I enjoyed watching..

[@FanterFishing]

Fishing with Mike Chavez glad you enjoyed Mike, thanks for watching

[@CraigJackson.Fitness]

Great video bud. Going to give Wroxham a bash later today 🎣

[@FanterFishing]

Craig Jackson good luck fella, let me know how you get on, we have a FB late too, dropshot worms and live baits seem to be doing well.

[@CraigJackson.Fitness]

What size hook and Lb fluorocarbon did you use for drop shot method bud?

[@FanterFishing]

Craig Jackson hi mate never really seemed to be too concerned by fluorocarbon breaking strain, anywhere between 6-10lb really, I usually use the ESP dropshot hooks, and if using big lobworms or lures will generally use size 6, but have also used 8’s and 4’s.

[@CraigJackson.Fitness]

Cheers fella 👍🏻

[@CraigJackson.Fitness]

Had 12 little perch on a worm dropshot. Tried a lure for some pike but no luck. Horning and Ludham are my next venues 👍🏻🎣

[@glenryan5788]

Another great vid, keep up the good work 👍 Loved it that you all got PB’s, great looking fish too.

[@FanterFishing]

[@Tin_Town]

I had a 3lb 1oz perch from the river. I live in acle so the broads is on my doorstep. There's a few lil hotspots I go to where there's some big perch and pike.

[@SnaggedBro]

Lee Kendrick cheers Lee mate :)

[@trangia777]

great fishing good to see you using mat and respect for the fish. we were down at wroxham end of september and was sad to see kids catching fish and watched them flap about on the paths, couldnt unhook the pike and just threw them back after being butchered for several minutes this does no good for the sport. well done keep up the good work show how things should be done.

[@FanterFishing]

trangia777 hi mate, fish care is always a priority for us, not a trophy shot or weight. And very important that a mat is used and the fish are put through minimal stress. Yep I’ve seen similar on the broads unfortunately, fish left with trebles in their throats and put back in the river , which will most likely lead to a slow death where they can no longer eat properly which is a horrible thought. I have seen it in videos from fairly local anglers and have offered to show them how to correctly handle and unhook pike, at the end of the day if you can’t handle them and unhook pike then you shouldn’t be fishing for them. Thanks for tuning in, hopefully see you in future videos aswell :)

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Awesome video and beautiful scenery and fish. I just subscribe to your channel as always happy fishing and tight lines.

[@FanterFishing]

PGH Bottom Feeders thanks for watching mate. And thanks for the sub. I have subbed back and will check some of your stuff out.

[@smallfryproductions2184]

Nice little watch matt. Gutted about the boat for you's but still makes for a nice video next time round! Well done on your pbs chaps. Maybe we'll join you on the next trip?

[@FanterFishing]

Small Fry Productions Cheers Dave, yeah I've contacted the company and hopefully should be getting a refund. Sounds a plan mate 👍👍🎣

[@nickhulme6086]

Had my pb pike from that basin at the end, Just shy of 28lbs. Was about 20 years ago though!

[@FanterFishing]

Nick Hulme quality stuff nick, good to hear that it’s produced fish for years. Apparently they are dredging it in the very near future.

[@FanterFishing]

Master P productions top man, looking forward to checking them out. I am hoping to squeeze in a day down there b4 Xmas as well. Maybe the Friday but not 100% yet. Will just be on foot, but see how it goes. I haven't been out since this video due to work, family and weather, but out this Saturday so can't wait to dust the rods off again. Got a few odd clips so next video might be a selection of clips from the year that didn't make the cut.

[@dpfisherman]

sweet lad, will keep in touch :). we need to get a Christmas pike session going on and all wear Santa hats :) lol

[@FanterFishing]

Master P productions yeah great shout I might have to invest in one. :)))

[@ianlaccohee7180]

I'm from Norwich & used to fish the broads all the time when I was younger. I live in Florida now, but will be returning to Norwich in a few years. Looks like I'll have to swap reds, snook & tarpon for pike & seabass. Not sure about that weather though. Great vid lads. I enjoyed watching it.

Great video. Welcome to a cold Norfolk in winter from that Essex. :). Shame about your boat as would have have been more interesting out there on the rivers and Broads, but good fishing, little Jacks and some nice Perch in the boatyards and PBs. Look forward to new vids. Keep up the good work.

Quick question - who did you hire the boat off in Wroxham please?

[@ryanplatten5047]

I caught 19ib pike form under the rail bridge it’s good pikeing in Wroxham

[@FanterFishing]

Ryan Platten good work Ryan I often hear of some big old girls that sit around that wroxham bridge, and I’m not talking about the fat birds that walk out the chippy. 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🐊🐊🐊

Release a few hundred zander and you're sorted!

[@jacobcarver8643]

Where are the pike and perch at the momentum the broads. I went Barton Turf in the staithe and didn’t catch a single fish, not even a bite.

[@FanterFishing]

Jake Carver it's so clear at the moment that every1 is struggling even the guided tours who are on the broads every day. They all seemed to be pretty spaced out, managed to pick fish up around structures etc where they are hiding away.

[@jacobcarver8643]

Fanter Fishing Ok cheers

[@Burnersforvanlife]

Did the perch recover from being out of the water for far too long? How long can you hold your breath??

[@FanterFishing]

David Barker Thanks for your concerns, yes he was fine thanks 👍👍👍 not sure next time I go swimming I will ask the missus to time and let you know Dave. My fish are always treated well and go back safely.

[@KansasCityOutdoors]

I used to think the drop shot was only for bass, now i've been catching big bluegills on it. Awesome video man ,I really enjoyed it so I liked and subscribed. Check out my channel if you get a chance.
