Perch

[jules007]

So the Carp at the lake im fishing are just not playing ball, oxygen levels are low in all 3 lakes, so for a while im gonna dabble on the canal, we are lucky to have a private peg only accessible from the main lake complex so its on opposite side to towpath, seems Perch can go to over 3lb, also carp in canal so gonna put a hair rig boilie out for Carp and then float fish for Perch

I got into some nice perch yesterday also made lots of mistakes in regards to waggler fishing, set up on a wooden decking peg that was OK but a bit awkward with two rods, moved to a bankside swim with a nice wind blowing towards me, I spent most of the time clearing pond fluff off the line, had a few roach, but I really was struggling to keep the bait on the hook, no joke I could barely get my hook down before a team of baby perch had stripped the hook bare, try again Friday maybe try a water that isn't three meters deep a rod length out, lol.

If you want to get the larger Perch go for a lobworm float fished with a size 8 hook
