What a lovely chubb. It really looked perfect for a perch... thanks for the shout out!! ❤️🎣❤️

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@BlackBottomFloats Thanks Andy, chub saved the day after losing that biggy a few minutes earlier. I am sure if there was any perch about the bobbers would have buried out of sight. You are welcome with the shout out, the bobbers are great 👍

[@jameshunter7980]

loved the video Russ, the quality of your filming is excellent...that gut-wrenching few minutes that follows the fish coming off is what draws us back for another go! Crucian and Perch are my personal favourites, looking forward to your next one.cheers.

[@timmarshall7903]

Great to see you fishing a lobworm under a bobber, Russ. When we were teens back in the 60s my Dad came along and fished with us. Not a subtle angler he was but his lobworms found some specimens in our club pit.. a 3+ perch and 2+ Rudd included! I’ve never beaten either weight in my life! Love your video in our countryside ( which I’ll never see again). Good luck with the subs!

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@timmarshall7903 Do love fishing with lobs and bobbers. Great memories of days fishing with your day Tim which I am sure you cherish. 👍

[@snerper]

Perch are beautiful fish and such lovely fish to see in the net, definately my favourite species! I use my bait droppers regularly, I think maybe they might be an underestimated bit of tackle by a lot of anglers, but they can be a godsend at times!👍👍👍👍👍I caught a 5lb perch at Alderwood fishery in Steyning near Shoreham East Sussex! Pam and Julie her daughter who run it have the Anglers Mail award for large perch, anyone who visits that area should give it a try!

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@snerper Hi Snerper, the Perch are a fascinating species for sure and I love fishing for them. Like you say bait droppers are a handy bit of kit to carry in the tackle bag 👍 I fished Alderwood a few years years for the perch and had a couple around the 2lbs mark. A nice venue and must get back there again soon for another session 👍🎣

[@dionlindsay2]

Great video. I'm sorry that ground baiting is all but universal now. In the days of my youth we would collect rod with fixed spool, float, hook and weight, a tin of bait (worms from the garden, or dough with anchovy paste as the magic ingredient) and head on. I guess the only versions of the hobby that doesn't use ground baiting of one sort or another are spinning and fly fishing! Sic transit gloria mundi 🙂

I fished in exactly this way down the Norfolk Broads a few weeks ago. I had a beautiful perch which i landed but then proceeded to flip out of my hand, onto the bank and back into the water! Never got a picture or a weight, so gutted! Tight lines, looking forward to more perch action.

Yes I’m was in the Billericay club years ago , it not like Jack hard grieves Excuse, my spelling 😂 where I heard that they net off the river for him for his show for 2 to3 days beforehand so the fish are hungry and concentrated in the area 😂

Perch are more catchable in clear water and low light situations.The bigger perch are better fished for in early spring when they are ready to spawn. PS are you fishing the werms up in the water or on the bottom 🤔🤝👍

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@barryanthonywing4848 Hi Barry, I move the depths up and down tight to margins on first shelf and all that. Had many good perch sessions from late autumn to spring. The stretch I was fishing is not really perch fished but had fun giving it a go. There will be other days 👍🎣🐟

[@barryanthonywing4848]

@@fishingtailfilms We ALL have the down in the dumps feeling, I am not a lover of the winter dark days. So my fishing after the summer/autumn starts around March.Its great to see and chat to people on the bankside,I can spend over a hour chewing the fat even before I have put a line in the water.Its Good to talk matey.🌞🤝👍

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@barryanthonywing4848 I get what you are saying Barry, sometimes the walk back to the car takes ages whilst stopping off for a chat with other anglers to see how they are getting on. The only down side to winter fishing for me is the short days of daylight, packing up when the fish are still on the feed. Good to chat with you as well 👍🎣

[@monikmk3167]

Please share which rivers are free for fishing.

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@monikmk3167 Hi Monik what part of the UK are you looking to fish? There are a few stretches of the Thames, Medway but few and far between. Most rivers are controlled by clubs at reasonable annual prices. Some clubs on the Trent can be joined for under £40 a season which is great value. The LAA offers many rivers to fish for around £55 a season and again great value. Hope that helps 👍

Great to see you back out on the bank where you belong!

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@themagicoffishing Thank you John, great to be back out in the countryside 😊👍🎣

[@brianreed1451]

because Perch feel resistance wouldn't it be better to use a pole float my friend

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@brianreed1451 I have caught Perch on all types of floats small or large. If they are present and hungry they engulf big baits. I use big floats for big baits. I have had Perch swallow 4 inch deadbaits on big float tactics and the complete opposite of tiny pole floats on double red maggots using tiny hooks. I guess it depends on what mood they are in. Hopefully I will find some on my next perch venture later this week which I am really looking forward to 🐟🎣

[@chrismckechnie1911]

Fishing small rivers for perch you need to be mobile. Perch are very nomadic. I'd never take all that kit to a river. One rod and a landing net. If perch are about they will hit straight away. I would drop shot with worm or use soft lures jigged in the margins. It's so much more exciting, covering more ground and more fish. Nice film but you'll get more action on the hoof.

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@chrismckechnie1911 Very true Chris if the river has many options. However the river I fished offers very little in the way of swims to fish. Many of them are fast shallow rapids and I doubt perch will be located in them to be honest. As I said on film I have never really tried this section of the river for big Perch so fishing the swim I was in has a deep hole so thought it worth exploring. There are no further swims to my right as the river is overgrown with steep banks. To my left the next swim is in the next field. I had to go through 4 gates and a mile walk from the car park to fish where I was. Drop shotting and lure fishing does not appeal to me either, watching a float is more exciting to me. Thanks for watching the film Chris, much appreciated 👍🐟🎣
