Lure Fishing for Perch | Kayak Fishing

[@michaelmaher3213]

Just got to see your video now.some stinkers there.well done on retrieving your rod .nice to see the kayak again.great video nath.cheers and tite lines as always.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Aye, I was really lucky to get it back. And yeah, those perch were stinkers 😉 Tight Lines👍🎣

[@robindunn7609]

Nice video. I'm from your neck of the woods and also fish there and have had big perch. The one thing I would say to help the fish recover is flatten all your barbs - it doesn't take forever and the hook comes out istantly.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Great info, thanks, I'll definitely do that the next time I'm over there👍🎣

[@adztaylor2277]

Glad you got the set-up back from the depths. Some cracking Perch...and that Pike...nice...made a nice change to see you in the kayak and on the river. Enjoyed watching...cheers and tight lines.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Adz, hardly got out on the yak last year but going to make more of an effort to do it this year, and hopefully on the sea. Still might have a trip or two for pike, come the summer. Cheers and tight lines👍🎣

Bloody hell the rod rescue was lucky Phil earned a few beers,. . Looked a good day and some crackin chubby perch an all. . 🎣🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Aye, I definitely owe him a few IPA's. Tight lines👍🎣

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Some lovely perch there mate, congrats on your PB Perch too.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks mate, they were like footballs!

[@grant1133]

Only fished that Loch once a few years ago , need to get back there but my usual Loch Lomond is hard to beat.

[@allythescot]

Watched this again,great video,great Pike caught by Your m8 and some great Perch,enjoyed,Ally

[@SlippyLimpets]

Apparently they grow to a lot bigger in there, for both species. Worth a wee trip for you, for sure

[@allythescot]

Naw I ain't fit now m8,but my Grandson Stevie knows the place ,he has fished it,All the Best,Ally

[@SlippyLimpets]

They hire wee boats out from the marina, much easier than from the shore.

[@allythescot]

Aye he knows says he no keanon English fishermen on his water pmsl

[@SlippyLimpets]

I was meaning for you! Still, good job I was born in Scotland👍

[@adamskitheangler3631]

Some absolute chunks there bud, well done!

[@SlippyLimpets]

They were like footballs, I've never seen them that shape before. I'm guessing they were ready to spawn

[@rogeriolima9974]

Nice , I saw that once at sea. Luckily for you all turned out ok.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yep, I was fortunate! Not sure I would have got it back if it happened at sea!

[@JW-wp1qt]

@@SlippyLimpets and better still it was freshwater and not salty stuff.

[@johnhamilton9991]

Those were really fat perch! Great vid and glad you got your rod back.

[@SlippyLimpets]

I think they were ready to spawn, but they do gorge on crayfish in that loch.

[@gazzwad]

nice change of scenery and just as enjoyable! nice fish there too and really love perch they are little beasts

[@SlippyLimpets]

That's a perfect description of them. They remind me a of a fresh water version of a bass

[@gazzwad]

That's exactly what they are to.me!

[@richardjohnson3463]

Some seriously good perch there Nathan. Ready to spawn by the look of them. Great species, the secret is finding them. If you get one there's probably others in that location, they tend to shoal.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Richard, that was the word I was looking for, too used to bass schooling. They were a really good size but rumour has it that they can get double that size in this particular loch.

[@barrytucker572]

Leash it or loose it 😄😂😂😄 Great vid, nice mix up fromyour salty dog adventures, keep up the cracking work

[@SlippyLimpets]

Hate leases, they just get tangled up! Might use them now though🤣

[@596football]

Lovely Perch, they are cracking fish

[@SlippyLimpets]

I'm pretty addicted to catching them now, techniques same very similar to some saltwater species

[@barrychristy3504]

Going to have to try the ned rig for perch when they are too deep to trawl for. Great video

[@SlippyLimpets]

It was the only thing they wanted on this particular day, sure it would work in shallow ground too. Nightmare in weed though.

[@grahamharper5393]

Nice vid mate glad u got ure rod back had a rock session yesterday 4 Pollock 2 coalies on the zen all small tho

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you got amongst the fish, hopefully the weather improves enough for mento get back out on the rocks soon. I've been enjoying this fresh water angling but not as much as I enjoy the salt.

[@steveilston9457]

I'm just about to start Kayaking, i think i'll buy a few tethers for my gear after your experience ! Great video, thanks !

[@SlippyLimpets]

Personally I think tethers are a doublebedge sword, they stop you loosing tackle but if you tip your kayak then tou can get caught up in them. This is the first time it's happened to me in 10 years of kayak fishing so I won't be buying any. A bit of pipe lagging will help kep your rods afloat if it does go in and save the saftey issue

[@martinbuck3094]

I have the same LRF rod. Great piece of kit! Landed a 10lb pike with mine!

[@SlippyLimpets]

It is a canny rod, unfortunately I just snapped the butt off it but will be buying another. 10lb pike must have been a canny scrap on that rod

[@sandersson2813]

Awesome, I was just talking about perch fishing the other day. Channel is going from strength to strength

[@SlippyLimpets]

Bit of a coincidence there. Thanks and tight lines👍🎣

[@sandersson2813]

@@SlippyLimpets Diversifying from just trout to sea trout, mackeral, bass and to perch and pike have opened up fishing in virtually any weather for me.

[@SlippyLimpets]

@@sandersson2813 yep, that's the beauty with just liking fishing, rather than sticking to one genre

[@grizzlysteele3199]

Great to see you getting in about some fish this time, getting some cracking perch there 👍 There's some monsters in there, I've had a 4lb'er from one of the rivers adjoining the loch

[@SlippyLimpets]

Aye, it felt good to finally hook into some fish, but like you say, there are some true specimens in there. I'll get one someday. Tight lines👍🎣

[@grizzlysteele3199]

@@SlippyLimpets give me a shout if your out again, I'll take you out up the top end of the loch, there's some great bits to explore 👍

[@keithfletcher5788]

Great content as usual.Love to see you use the ulf rockfish of the rocks and see what it's capable of. Best Regards.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Keith. Unfortunately I snapped the butt off this particular rod need a replacement before I can put it through it's paces off the rocks. My gut feel is that it'll work pretty well, it's pretty pokey compared to the earlier version.

[@JW-wp1qt]

Some lovely stripeys there Nathan. Perch are quite a fragile species, I would recommend using a landing net and resting them especially if you’re bringing them up from deep water.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks John, it's that type of information that you don't pick up when researching online. I'll remember that for next time. BTW, I must be catching up with your PB stripey now 😉

[@JW-wp1qt]

@@SlippyLimpets did you not weigh any? One looked close to two and a half, maybe three.

[@mickhardstaff6605]

You lucky man Nathan, fantastic perch though , however lovely to see you back in the kayak hopefully that means you will be on the sea soon, can't wait for that. Regards 😎

[@SlippyLimpets]

Luck was definitely on my side on this day! Hopefully getting out on the sea tomorrow so shouldn't be too long to wait. Tight lines👍🎣

[@scale2tail]

We call redfin perch here in South Australia. They a noxious fish. So bag and size limits are not included. We are not aloud to throw them back. But i can tell you they are the best tastings fish around. Really good with panko bread crumbs. Well done 🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

We don't really eat them in the UK, they like them in Scandanavia though.

[@Kelp-Jungle]

Some proper fish there Nathan 👍 what weight/hook size was that jig head?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Cheers Larry. It was a 7g Ned head jig, they really help the lure stand up when on the lake/sea bed

[@taranscott155]

Quality over quantity ! Some very good perch there, in fabulous condition. I used to fish St Mary's Loch for pike and perch and, if you can find them, there are some cracking specimens. I hate rod and paddle leashes, but they do have their uses... :)

[@SlippyLimpets]

I fished St Mary's once a few years back and caught nothing but trout on crankbaits, lovely place to fish but a big piece of water to go searching in. I hate them too, can be dangerous if you tip thankfully this was the first and hopefully last time I knock a rod over board

[@chrisdavison2022]

You're not the only one that's lost then luckily recovered their rod from a drop...! Did just that not that long ago! Just Off Newbiggin though, but in 80ft of water! 🙈

[@SlippyLimpets]

Well done on getting that back! I was only in 24ft and it was hard enough

[@chrisdavison2022]

SORRY FOR LAUGHING, YOUR FACE WAS A PICTURE, WHEN YOU REALISED... GLAD YOU GOT IT BACK... ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO, STAY SAFE

[@SlippyLimpets]

Haha, not a problem, we have to be able to laugh at these things. yeah, I loved seeing the penny drop when I watched the footage back. I don't like using leashes, they just get in the way and are dangerous is you tip over. A float is a good idea though.

[@raymitchell4220]

Brilliant perch, did you weigh or measure it? My best was 2 lb 12 ozes and had an imitation sweetcorn on a very rusty hook in it's mouth attached to a 1 ounce lead and 4 feet of thick line. I removed the hook and cleaned it as best I could, it swam off OK. Thanks for sharing, take care, stay safe, Norfolk Ray

[@SlippyLimpets]

I got a measure on it at 38cm but it was fat, I guess it could have been over 2lb. Well done for cleaning that fish up, it was it's lucky day when it took your fake sweetcorn. Thanks and tight lines👍🎣

[@michaelmaher3213]

Meant stonkers there,not stinkers.lol

[@deaks4570]

Hi Nathan, did you have to pay to fish or launch there? Enjoyed the video

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's a bit convoluted but you have to pay for a ticket from whose ever land you launch from. I used to launch at the caravan park but now I bought a year long license for 22 quid and get free access to the slipway

[@deaks4570]

Sounds good. May I ask where or to who you paid the £22 please

[@SlippyLimpets]

The marina, which is just up the road from the slipway

[@deaks4570]

Cheers I'll have to have a look. I'm going to try to get up there more this year with the kayak and an annual launch permit may be just the ticket. Thanks very much and right lines
