  • This session you once again find me on the banks of the river hunting for big perch! This time we're using the not so popular method of dead baiting for this species. Although its not something people do on a regular basis it can be a method that's killer for picking up those bigger perch..... and unfortunately pike as you'll see in this video.

    I'm jealous of those big, chunky Redfin Perch you have over there on that side of the pond. We have Yellow Perch over here. They're marked pretty similar, but they don't get nearly so CHUNKY and the longest one I've ever heard anyone ever catch was just over 30 cm/1 foot. They're my preferred fish for harvest (I return around 95% of what I catch most years.) because they sit on the intersection of good flavor, plentiful numbers and low mercury levels. Seeing those perch made my mouth water.

    Great to see the old simple ways of catching big Autumn Perch still work.☺ That's the basic deadbait rig I used to fish my local rivers round here when I was a kid. And I had plenty of 2 pounder plus fish back in the 80s...not to mention the innumerable pesky Jack Pike and occasionally better fish.😀 But they are good sport when the Perch aren't biting and a lot of fun to catch. In fact you can rove a river stretch and you might even get 100lb net of Pike that way...with enough deadbaits.☺
    Cracking brace of Perch at the end though Chris. It's always good to catch the fish that you're after and that last fish was fantastic. Maybe you'll catch it again when it's closer to 3 in the spring? Great fishing and great vid as always. Tight lines mate.☺🎣

I just feel bad because i love fishing pikes but i don't want the fish to die just because i hooked her for fun... i fish for fun even though i sometimes get one fish home and cook it (totally legal over here), but it kind of make me feel bad today..
