Perch fishing tomorrow

[Norfolkboy]

Going to a nice lake tomorrow after some perch. My mate has had them to 3lb 2oz on a spinner.

So I'm fishing 1 rod on worm, the other spinning.

Hopefully come back with a new pb perch (only 10oz at the mo )

Have a good one dan

Good fat worms and ground baited with chopped worms will do the trick plus a bit of bloodworm extract if you have it

Bet you get on a dexter mate perch seem to go for them but mine have only been under a lb

How fast have your retrieves been Rich?

I was watching a clip the other day, and they were really slowling brining in a spinner, and the perch were kind of looking at it, then going for it. They seemed really lazy.

Then a bit of a discussion I saw and they were saying they retrieve so slowly the blade only just spins

What I do is for jacks and perch is do a slow ret... say one reel turn per second but every three turns of the reel give the rod a twitch as this makes it look like a fish is in trouble

Or ret.. five turns of the handle fast and then stop and count to three ( having the rod held up high - this will give the action of a fish trying to get upto the surface and then the blades will flutter when you stop reeling and the lure will then sink three / five foot so you are covering some depth

I always do three ret.. per cast and do the old clock method i.e start at 9am along the bank and work around

Good luck
