Guy's the intro says dropshot for perch and you're jigging the hole video 😅but well worth the wrong intro lol

[@mickeydeadeyes7686]

You guys are by far the best tutorial site on here! I'm exclusively a pike guy, but want to branch out. One video and i'm confident to target perch and not blank. Thank You!

[@justinreid6796]

I’ve always done trout and bass fishing but you really got me into carp fishing they’re some of the hardest fighting fish ever I’ve only gone 5 times but my biggest is 8.5 pounds but without your help I probably would’ve never gotten one love your tutorials keep up the good work!.

[@Puddlefishinginscotland]

Wait till you get in to a 25lb it's brutal and amazing at the same time

[@shortbreadfingers101]

Hey just wondering when can you do another quest for monsters I really enjoyed it

[@fishingwithaodhancallaghan3637]

Ye same I loved it

[@PhilORourke]

Great tuition. The young teaching me the old. Magnificent

[@GregTheEgg98]

Cant wait to get out perch fishing in the next couple of weeks, cant dislike a big perch

[@B-ToNe-33]

Hey, any chance you can show the knot you used for the dropshot rig on your knots playlist as it's own video? Too difficult to see the fluro to be able to figure it out fro. This video. Excellent work though, keep it up!

[@chriswarby1001]

An excellent tutorial I can not wait to put these tips in too practice just brought a prism x 5-21g lure set up its tip is super responsive so should be excellent for both dropshot and soft plastic retrieval thanks lads 😀👍👍😉

[@danz6571]

Glad you’ve brought this video out, thanks Lads

[@CapraObscura]

caught my first fish on a drop shot rig, and that fish was a perch 💪

[@fishingtutorials]

Yess!

[@ralphrohr]

Excellent as always... you did the right thing quitting your Jobs, even if they were "in the fishing-business"...

[@eliotdeag8040]

I still find these videos so useful and end up sharing them a lot, cheers E

Ah really great to hear Eliot :) glad to hear they're helpful!

[@bobsanderson8792]

Thanks lads. The drop shotting now makes sense.

[@clemtully2911]

Love your vids I’m just getting in to perch fishing thnx

[@2bolts304]

This Is just what I needed. Fantastic.

[@jochippyy]

Hi chaps loving these vids what sort of rod would I need to try drop shotting please?

[@fishbloke5636]

You need a lure rod it doesn’t need to be too strong

[@lewiswilko9004]

Really useful. I’ve not fished in years and I live near Manchester City centre so the canals are the only thing easily accessible to me. Can’t wait to try drop shot for the first time, I’ve only ever done float previously.

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad you found it helpful :) Good luck with your fishing Lewis!

[@DaMoose1015]

Berkeley worm threader is great for getting more of your bait/lure onto the hook, and even line, to reduce stolen bait

[@firkinflyer]

[@markkinnersley5134]

If yous are ever in York, in the town centre area some big perch in the river ouse there used to fish there as a kid and caught them to over 3lb

Great video. I'm interested in trying dropshotting, but the lakes I fish have plenty of pike. Should I still use fluro? Is it possible to make a dropshot rig using wire?

[@SvenSapelson]

Very well made!

[@MrKarpo]

Just started fishing again since my childhood and I'd like to know how to determine where and how to find the surest perch spots. Haven't caught single one this season which makes me a bit sad since perch is supposed to be the most common species around where I live. Any tips on that? And other species as well for that matter. Boat would probably be great to reach more spots, sadly I don't have one, at least yet. Also, great video! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Hey man great video. What's the story with drop shotting with a wire trace? Have pike and perch in lake nearby.

What kind of landing net is that? I’m looking for a smaller one like that. Great job on the video once again, here in the states some of us use crayfish or small salad shrimp from the grocery store for perch.

can you make a zander video?

You've done well to make that place not look like a shit hole, fair play lads

Palomar knot is the correct knot for the drop shot rig very easy as well ...dont know what you used but it wasn't very easy

[@hairyscone]

Fair one lads. Cheers for the help. Like and subbed

[@_mcinii6906]

Great vid guys i was waiting for a perch video

[@perkinwarbeck3029]

Hi guys, please help me. I tried drop shotting and like you say, it was incredible for Perch! My problem is that I get a lot of deep/gut hooked results. Can I still use a disgorger to unhook in this instance or will the softbait get in the way? Also, to clarify, it's cast and retrieve like a spinner but slow? A little retrieve to remove slack, a little wiggle, a little retrieve, a little wiggle? I'm not sure if I'm just lucky or if I have good technique... Thanks!

[@md.emanali8449]

Hawr u, my cantree Bangladesh, good fishing. thanks

[@richardwoody9928]

I am very curious to know if that is a different sub species of yellow perch that is found in North America. The world record Yellow Perch is 4LB 12ozs caught in 1924 in New York. I personally have caught 2 lbers here in Michigan but they are rare. A 13"-16" 1.5-2.5 lb is considered a big perch. There are a few western lakes like Devil's lake N.D that produce 3-3.5 lbers regularly. That lake has a huge forage base of fresh water shrimp and minnows as well. I have seen videos of 7 lb perch caught overseas. I would appreciate if you could give any info on this matter.

[@noblestsavage1742]

These are the same family as your yellow perch but a different species. The family has just the two species; the yellow perch (perca flavescans) in North America and the Eurasian perch (perch fluviatilis). Our perch go up to around 7 or 8lb max whereas yellow perch go to about 4lb. 👍

No

What type of knot is that @ 13:00 ?

[@breadscout]

what lures are those in the video

[@Aidyscape]

Great video, I’ve noticed in the uk canals these days I’m only catching very small perch, as of 10 years ago I used to catch ones much bigger, is this down to cormorants you think? 🧐

[@gamingplus8730]

Polish

[@hejfjajjan6245]

Those small perch armys we call them tusenbröder basically means thousand brothers

[@UTUBEFREAK1974]

What size rod length are you using chaps?

[@fishingtutorials]

An 8ft rod for lure fishing is great

[@umpatas5468]

Your red perch strategies do work on our yellow perch but live bait and fresh shrimp pieces on jigs work best. There isn't a perch family species, walleye, perch, Zander, sauger, that don't taste amazing.

[@bigboyfishing8244]

What the name of the knot for the drop shot rig?

[@willcave2]

Is this in ashford

[@guillaume2923]

so the dropshot is only pinched in ? no knot at all ?

[@fishingtutorials]

It kinda beds down with a knot above and below the hook! :) Tricky knot, but a good one!

My problem with perch is that many times they get deep hook the lure . Any tips to combat this?

[@9oozFgl8]

I feel like a lot of it is timing. Striking quicker and harder as soon as you feel a bite can help prevent the fish swallowing the lure? I'm not quite a beginner but not as experienced as these lads but I've caught enough Perch to know they're buggers for swallowing tackle. Hope this helps somewhat :)

[@sebastianduran2088]

9oozFgl8 yeah thanks, I thought so

[@9oozFgl8]

Seb Duran no problem! Good luck :)

[@TheMightyGameMaster]

If you nosehook the lure it should be quite difficult for perch to get hooked in any other place than the mouth, especially if the hook is exposed enough
