PERCH FISHING MASTERS | SEASON 2 | EPISODE 1 - ASH COSTA

An October session with Perch Fishing Master Ash Costa. I watch him carefully and we discuss lots of tactics and techniques to help you catch more big perch on lures! Ash is an incredible lure angler that seems to continually be landing big perch. We're fishing on the Fens and Ash shows us a selection of his favourite lures and we talk quite specifically about how and when to use them.
A cracking day with Ash, chasing Perch on the Fens. THANK YOU Ash - a complete legend for so generously sharing all your Perch Fishing expertise with us!

Another brilliant film. Always more to learn. Ash Costa is the master of the really big perch.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Ash shared everything with me on the day … so generous with his knowledge and a very gifted angler. Loads to take away 👍👍👍🙏

[@barryhadlington8982]

Good to see how, other people tackle the same problems I've never really tried the surface methods for perch had a few pike on frogs ect must give it a whirl

[@AlexGregoryFishing]

Best 45 minutes of my day 👍👍👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Top man … that’s so good to hear 😁😁😁

[@dreammaker730]

I'm just starting out , I've been to the canal and fished with success, taking my two young sons along . You have inspired me to buy some lures and have a try fir the bigger fish on canals . Maybe soon I will have a try on my local river . Keep the vods coming I enjoy watching you .

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers mate. Let me know how you get on! It only takes one bite!!! 🙌👍

[@shoddyangler1454]

Loved this. Been barbelling on the Trent watching KZbin in-between bites. By far the best video all day. Really interesting. My thanks 🙏

[@Lifeonthebank]

That’s great to hear 🙏 Good luck with those Barbel 👍

[@denisjolly9263]

Brilliant video, Just subscribed, like to say thanks for replying to people's comments. Many videos out there where the questions are never answered

[@stevenfullwood9209]

Great video again Nick, love your enthusiasm even when you don't have a rod in the hand!!😁 Ash is such a great perch angler and I've seen him show off some awesome fish on his page, All the best bud 👍🎣💪

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers mate. There’s a full list of lures and tips here if it’s useful 👍 lifeonthebank.co.uk/2022/10/30/ash-costa-perch-fishing-masters/

Guy’s a stallion. Plenty to take away from that. Nice work Nick.

Cheers Mat. Ash really does get you thinking! 👍

[@russellgarrett8505]

Another cracker ! A lot of new tips to try out, thank you Nick and Ash for sharing 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

No problem at all mate. Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@kemalhussein6106]

Another brilliant video Nick. I've Been lucky enough to follow Ash on Instagram for some time now and am always in awe of his big catches. Tight lines to you both for the season ahead.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Quite an incredible angler. Definitely worth a follow!!! 👍

[@TheFinbob1]

Nick would love to see more about retrieves for different styles from you and other anglers. Great vids mate.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Will definitely bare this in mind mate. Appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

[@catalickconverta6823]

You noticed on the mature big perch they have a set of teeth inside the upper lip if you pick one up bigger then a pound by its top lip bare fingers youll feel them digging in

[@Lifeonthebank]

Very fine teeth to help them hold onto their prey. Just love big perch 👌

[@byronstubley3621]

Cracking video again. Ash seem's too really know his stuff very informative and some new stuff to think about iam definitely going to be using some hard baits more in the winter

[@Lifeonthebank]

Still very underused… everyone is on softbaits!

[@trevorcornes1056]

[@Lifeonthebank]

Hope you catch a whacker mate. Keep us posted 👌👍👍👍

[@richardsmith6517]

Good stuff Nick, really enjoyed it, always encouraging to hear how the masters struggle as well and have lots of blanks, sometimes feel like its just yourself doing it all wrong. Like everything in life if only we had more time!! Keep up the good work

[@Lifeonthebank]

Yeah, blanks are part of the process I feel. The important thing is to keep going!! 👍👍👍

[@TomasJanicek]

Really thanks for all the tips guys, really appreciate the time and effort you put in the video.

[@Lifeonthebank]

It was great to capture and share 👍👍👍 Thanks for checking it out 👍

[@colt5618]

Got to be one of the best perch videos I have ever seen. Superb content. The next one will have a hard act to follow.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Appreciate the kind comments mate. Ash is always going to be a hard act to follow. Absolute class! 👌👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cracking video, loved that he tackles the “trace Vs Fluro” too. I’ve been blasted in the past for using trace when there’s pike in the area. It makes 100% sense to me. Learning curve on lure choice for me 👍

[@Lifeonthebank]

Choosing the right type of trace is important. Been put onto some really decent knotable stuff that will be in the next video! Cheers mate. Keep up the good work 🎥👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

@@Lifeonthebank cheers Nick, I look forward to the trace making 👍

[@Hardlinesangling]

Cracking video Nick i look forward to the Perch Masters a hell of a lot of tips the one i will be trying this winter is small crank baits, i know you have touched on this subject yourself in past videos i sort of give up on crank baits once winter turned up but deffo will try it.

[@Lifeonthebank]

Caught fish last winter on cranks even when it was really cold! Let me know how you get on! 👍

[@del3015]

Keep them coming brilliant series

[@Lifeonthebank]

Cheers 👍👍👍👍

[@richardbarrett4104]

Now the water is high on rivers, and it's getting colder. Could you tell us all, how you would catch Perch in these colder months please? Love the videos guys, well done.

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

Great content as always mate I’d love to get out on the bank this winter.. fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@Lifeonthebank]

Definitely get out over the winter. Frost on the ground and fireball skies … one of the best times of year to be out!!!

[@jonathonbeckitt7448]

Thanks Fella’s, absolute top top quality episode and incredibly informative 😊

[@Lifeonthebank]

Glad you took plenty from it! 👍

[@nathanielpudwellksi2506]

Brilliant. random wild guess on the next guest, is it matey boy from gator who was on perch pro. Im beginning to wonder how many perch masters there are, loving this series im looking forward to pike masters that would be class. (Doubt you would get anybody willing to spill the beans though)

[@Lifeonthebank]

Next one is also an awesome angler. Owe a lot to these guys 👌👍

[@davidfinch5062]

Another great video and an excellent watch. I know that you predominantly fish for perch with lures, but have you any plans to interview an angler that is successful using dead/live bait?

[@Lifeonthebank]

Not at present mate but never say never 👍👍

Well done lads.

@@Lifeonthebank thanks mate, tight lines and catch a big one🎣🎣

[@dj-fattman]

Great vid. What trace was that? been looking for something along that line. Tried the Sox, but find when tieing the wire ends up twisted and lose presentation.

Try the AFW in 11lb 👍👍

Season 2!

[@Lifeonthebank]

I knew someone would pick me up on that!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@simongale7477]

Hi Nick loving perch masters, I have a question about neds and the reggiez. Do the reggiez basically work the same was as a ned? In that if the reggiez work I don't need to buy the neds ( squrmz) as well or do the neds offer a different presentation to the reggiez?? Sorry forgot to say I am going for those big perch this winter! Done pike on lures the last two years to some success but I just love perch more.

[@Lifeonthebank]

I love a stick bait like the Squirmz on the Ned, fished slow. I fish the Reggiez in exactly the same way, but it just offers a different profile … which is sometimes enough on pressured venues to get the bites coming again! I hope that helps! 👍

[@simongale7477]

@@Lifeonthebank answers my question perfectly, so I am better of having both squrmz and reggiez in my box as they both with have their day? 2nd easier question can you recommend a rod to look at as a all rounder, like to carry one set up as I have miles of river to cover so like to light as possible?

[@billyboy3869]

good fish Nick, what wire was being used?

[@Lifeonthebank]

I’ll see if Ash can respond 👍

[@brianh4161]

Any update on the 4Kilo wire nick ?

Hi can you send me a link on the rod and reel please

[@user-kd4mf2fo6h]

Love the video but really wish you wouldn't interrupt at times and keep making noises making it hard to watch at times 👍🏼

[@Lifeonthebank]

I try to keep my part to a minimum but will take this on board 👍 The wind was a nightmare on the day and the audio tricky. But thanks again for the feedback. I try to make it conversational but obviously need to be mindful of this. 👍👍👍
