jh92 Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Has anyone caught anything this month? I went to a coarse fishery after the big perch but didn't manage one. I fished a small gudgeon as live bait on the bottom, had a few bangs but didn't connect to anything. I want to try using a float next time, theres a few different setups so need to decide how I want to present the bait lol. The live bait lived to see another day and was released at the end of the session. I will probably try a small silver next time, using the small gudgeon as a live bait did leave me feeling quite conflicted 😂😂 I did have a really nice size gudgeon on float fished maggots that measured around 165mm/6.5 inches. No idea how I'd weigh a fish that small lol. I was pretty impressed with it so I took a photo to share 😆 I need to up my game and learn how to present the live bait better. If anyone uses live baits for perch I would love to see them 👍 crusian and B B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that's a lie 😀 they will pull you in different directions when one is sorted it's the other ones turn, good luck though 👍 Mine are 6 and 7, and have recently asked me what an f bomb means 😲 some kid at school taught them it, they grow up so fast, my little one wants to come night fishing this year though so hopefully that can get me out a bit more 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 yonny, commonly and ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
