jules007 Posted 17 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Its hard to think, and makes me feel rather old that i used to fish this little river maybe 46 years ago but more to the point i used to err "poach" in the old stew pond this river flows through to catch eel, roach rudd and more important proper old wild carp and of course lots of Perch, those were happy days indeed whataclonker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataclonker Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago I have similar memories of fishing the fenland drains & rivers when I was a boy. I didn't have a cane rod though, just my trusty shakespeare telescopic! There's something special about a Perch. Especially your first. They are beautiful looking fish in my opinion - almost prehistoric! Thanks for sharing. jules007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Perch are a lovely fish, always thought if they grew to 25lb no one would fish for carp lol, im lucky enough to of caught a 4 1/4 lb perch, hell of a fish whataclonker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commonly Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago My nine year old caught this while fishing a small farm pond, several weeks ago😍 whilst with his mate. He won't forget that one. He says it felt stuck so he just pulled harder😉 Size 6 hook in it's mouth.!!!! I have tried a couple of times to recatch it and weigh it, but only seem to get the small ones. jules007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest - what did you catch that beast on? it fell to a good old fashioned lobworm fished on stick float set up at the time i had (and foolishly sold) a TFG Matt Hayes X1 river and stream 1lb avon rod and the big perch put a right bend in that classic rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
