​@@onsight2822 Never ask for a location. It's just not done, no matter how tempted you might feel. Do your own homework - google maps is an excellent place to explore possibilities without leaving your fireside. Make a shortlist of possibles, then do some recce visits. That process is sometimes even better fun than a decent day fishing. And when you find somewhere worthwhile, keep it to yourself! Having said that, waters like the one shown here are dangerous places often with dropaways from inches depth to water deep enough to drown a herd of elephants. So best to take a trusted pal or else wear a flotation device. Be safe!

I had a float on but I was dropping a maggot in and it was away before the float hit the water. I would watch them suck the maggot in and just lift them out. Several times I would catch one, toss it back and then watch that exact same fish go for the bait and I'd catch the same fish twice in a row.

Жыл бұрын

Not heard the saying myself but I’m definitely starting to agree!

Small perch in the margins or shallows are quite possibly there because the predator grandfathers are in the deeper areas in full daylight. Perch naturally tend towards the deeps when light is strong so I'm surprised you didn't twig about why you were only getting tiddlers - with one exception. Let those small swimbaits sink well down, try progressive counts to vary the depth till you feel the line go slack, which will be either the bottom or maybe the perch of a lifetime. One of those wee ones fished as livebait on or near the bottom might have seen you packing up early from arm-ache caused by serial 2-3lb fish! (Its happened to me when I used to explore all sorts of largely unfished oddments of waters just as you're doing. One time my young brother and me stopped counting when we got to 65 sizeable perch, smallest about 1.25lbs and the biggest a bit short of 3lbs.) And not a single pike, strangely enough.. It was a big shallow water with zillions of perch fry crowding the margins with shoals of hunting biggies pushing them in towards the shoreline. We were using Mepps-minnow spinners. Deadly things, those. Fished as slow as possible. It got too repetitive so eventually we left, pretty well tired out as well as we'd "had enough". Later on that water was hit by perch disease and never seemed to regain its former ability to harbour a massive biomass of big perch...😢 Explore the deeps until whatever time the light weakens, when they'll be more inclined to patrol the margins hunting the wee things you kept catching. So - fish deep or hang around till dusk! Worth another visit maybe? (If you can get a small inflatable there you might explore those vertical shoreline cliff type areas - try jigging the deep water close in - perch love "structure") But if you do be sure to wear a flotation jacket! Tight lines!

Yeah you're probably right about that! I'd definitely have more luck going at dusk or dawn. its 100% worth another visit, not sure when i'll have the time to make it over there but i'll see what I can do!

Fascinating atmospheric place...

What other fish species are in there? I didn’t know there was pike

Next time throw out a plenty of bread to attract the roach and the splashing from the fish will Attract the Predators in the area and try a mepps spinner, I,be had perch up to about 4lb, the best day I had perch fishing was 22 over 2lb and my brother had 24 over 2lb fishing next to each other in about 2-3 hours in one big pool in a stream. I’ve try their quite a few times and never had know more than about 5
