Perch Fishing Rigs, Tips & Tactics
For this latest episode we took the cameras down to a little local lake with the hope of targeting a few Perch or two.
We had a few requests recently about Perch fishing, so we thought we'd make a video to show how we'd go about targeting them, demonstrating the baits, rigs and tactics we like to use.
We knew the lake we were fishing held fish to around 1lb, but secretly we were hoping for a fish around the 2lb mark.
As always we hope you find this video informative and of course enjoyable.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
We found this video really helpful!
Thank you 😀
We have a 'quest for a 2lb perch' video coming up, and i think you'll notice some of the advice you gave us.
Thanks again!

Really cool video, i love the way you people in the UK fish, everything seems to be tweaked to perfection. Here in sweden we go at it a bit more casually :D
Thanks for the kind comments Jan and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it. :-)
A lot of great tips here. I fish all the time but I didn't know much about perch. Gonna give them a try. +1 sub
another great vid lads, nice to see ya mixing it up
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)
Thanks for the tips mate! My fishing has improved a lot more, where's the lake your fishing at?
really helpful tips like on some of your other videos, went along my canal and used a maggot feeder with a long hooklink and caught my first perch which I was well chuffed with. top notch guys
Nice one +Martyn Hawkins glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind comments.
I've just started fishing and your tips are very useful
Thats great stuff Sonny! Hope your fishing goes well! :-)
+From The Waters Edge TV thank you
Great video mate. Prawn tip was awesome.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it and found a few tips! 😊
Great video keep it up!
Tight lines
Great video, loved the bit about the eel, I don't like catching them either. Love watching your vids.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Thanks for showing and sharing your tips. I like your hook remover tool, it's small and handy but I could not find one in my country.
No worries at all +jTarry Oh Peng Yew glad you are enjoying the video's! :-)
Gorgeous Perch!
Thanks mate. :-)
great video, really enjoyed it, well done all
Ah thanks pandrol7 glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)
Great tactics 👌 me and my m8 Myke fished flushing meadows at Acton Bridge in Northwich the other day, he used prawn on a quiver tip rod and worm on a float rod, Myke caught 1 mirror carp and 2 common carp on prawn rod only (prawns soaked in predator juice) and bream and Perch only on worm. Its a mixed coarse fishery. I was using maggots and with worms on the float, I only caught roach, skimmers, Bream.....was a tough windy day and it was blowing a gale all morning......tight lines.
fair play lads keep it up. Thanks for the tip on prawns
Thanks Damien McCartney glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment.
nice video ..my friend ..I had a few nice perch last season..i tend to use a pole float say 1grm which don't offer a lot of resistance ..might be worth a try with a big juicy lob
Nice one Mick, sounds worth a go!
I've never seen someone take so much stuff with them to catch some yellow perch.. A light weight rod and a few packs of beetle spins and you are set for the day with perch.
It depends how you want to target Perch, we do sometimes lure fish for them with minimal gear - this video was just one way (of many) on how you can catch and fish for them.
+From The Waters Edge TV it's all good man, I did learn some stuff.. I just like to keep it simple, probably because I like to be on the move all the time. have you tried jigging darts they are always a blast
These aren't Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) these are European Perch (Perca fluviatilis) and taste totally different. I like to fish a more mobile, light tackle, 1 rod and 1 reel for everything style of fishing and perch fishing is my favourite when I can't find trout. Lots of UK fishermen, especially match anglers, take a ton of gear with them. They seem to be enjoying themselves, though.
i doubt they taste very diFFerent
and if beetle spins don't work on the day?
Great video love the cool fish I went fishing today for the 1st time and I caught tons of perch 3 large roach and one massive 5 pound carp. I wanted to catch a eel and a pike but the pike didn't live in the lake and the eels stayed out in the deep water.
Nice one mate, half you're fishing is going ok! :-)
Prawn that is all...... Awesome!
I'll be using that next time I target Perch here in Western Australia Cheers fella I miss fishing for Perch!
It's a 257 km drive to catch them in a location that I am certain they actually can be found!
Thanks for the tip about using prawns for bait, going to try it out.
No worries +Tienkamp87 good luck using it, hope you manage a few fish! :-)
Carp love em too.. And I've had bream and tench on them as well. Prawns are great
Excellent,enjoyed that and a great but simple tip,ref the bit of twig on the line,i`ll be trying that myself...........have subscribed as well.
Hi Neneman Nick thank you for the kind comments and for taking the time to post and also for the sub! Glad you found that little tip useful! :-) Tight lines and good luck with your fishing, cheers Chris.
your tutorial helped....went fishing the weekend and got 3 good size perch and some small ones fanks fella !!!! ;0)
Ah superb stuff mrbrutus300 glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment too! :-)
some super tips ,great vid
Thanks +snap baits glad you enjoyed it!
Hope you can do some more videos like this . this is my favourite video along with Bream fishing geat video;)
Thanks for the kind comments Alex, we'll definitely be doing lots more throughout this year! :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Great vid guys
Funny story actually I took my mate fishing for the first time and he caught a TWO pound perch!
Biggest perch I've ever seen come out of a canal!
Thanks Tim, glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated. Ahhhh thats a nice fish for your mate, especially from a Canal, top angling! :-)
great video once again, im thinking of selling my seatbox and pole soon to start specimen fishing like this for big tench, bream and others. I've always enjoyed sitting back in my warm bivvy fishing for larger specimen fish. lets hope this summer brings some memorable fish mate :D
Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words, we hope this summer is fish filled for you too! :-)
another great video guys, I'm surprised you never done a vid on dropshotting for perch
Thanks Michael Smart thats a very good point! I think we might have something in the pipeline, perhaps after Xmas on and around the Norfolk broads and boat yards! :-)
Nice1 m8 I'll look forward to it
Good video and tips
Thanks Max! :-)
You may not of caught the size you want, but I'd call it a fun trip non the less, you caught multiple species of fish and your skill is unmatched sir. Great video.
Thanks for the kind comments +Derek Crist it was a good session, it's always nice to catch a few regardless of the size. :-) Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again, hope your fishing is going well.
nice fishing! you seem to be very serious about the rigs,bait,and way you fish them! if i was fishing there for perch i would wanna just throw jig spinners with soft plastics,and similar small lures.lead heads with curl tails on them ect.
sgtpavlov Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Its fair enough what you are saying, there's a whole host of ways to catch them, we just simply demonstrated one way in which we like to do it. We don't really do much lure/jig fishing, but I bet its real good fun! :-)
That song on the radio was some headbanging stuff
Haha! +Medea Colwell
great video i will use these tips im going ledgering for perch on the canal tomorrow will defiantly pick up some predator plus
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Apologies for the late reply, hope your Perch fishing went well!! :-)
Cool Video!
Thanks mate!
Nice tips for me to take on board cheers
Cheers +LuCkYNoS7eViN PS4 (LuCkY-No-S7eViN)
Great video, I learned a lot about perch, in future videos can you show more of snagging and reeling in the fish? I have my largest problem in that category, haha, thanks
HI mate, glad you enjoyed the video! :-) Thanks for taking the time to comment too. Ummmm I'm sure we can sort something out, I'll have a word with Steve! :-)
Me too changing my hook size helped coz luckily enough I'm only pulling on big perch and my hook size was tiny so it could wriggle off easily now I've switched to a bigger hook no problems. Still lose the odd one but nowhere near as many as I used too
Great video !
Can you please tell me, what rod and other gear are you using ?
Thank tou very much !
No worries mate, I'll ask Steve for you!
Thanks for tips and nice
No worries mate!
Love the slingshot for tossing out the shrimp and maggots
It is handy+grbragg13 :-)
Would you change your tactics for river / broads perch?
Would the prawns or dead baits work, I have a phobia of earthworms and dont have time to catch live baits!
Great series of videos, keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks mate! Yeah prawns, maggots and deadbaits would work too. :-)
Great slingshot did you buy it or did you make it I bought an ordinary one and it didn't work at all it was too stiff and didn't have that nice cup and back handle
Hi Walter, we purchased this one. A company called Drennan make some nice one's for fishing.
Nice perch. Next time while your waiting you could fish with a small shiny spoon bait to try and catch some more
Definitely! Perch do love a spoon!
Thanks you it help a lot
No worries Owen, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Perch fishing here in Michigan is usually done in the large lakes in the winter, ice fishing. U should be catching large fish . Fishing near power lines.
Hi Krissy, yeah we have slightly different conditions here! Although we do catch Perch in the winter too. :-)
What kind of rod is good for this type of perch fishing? I have a quiver tip but want to get a rod for using on alarms and have no resistance. Thanks
Probably a light 1lb-1.5lb test curve specimen or 'Avon' rod would be good Ollie. :-)
hey bro love the video
Cheers Royan, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Great video nice days fishing :)
Sean Conroy Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment.
No worries Lad keep up the good work
Where can i buy that hoodie you are wearing?
I loved that huge brown perch at the end ;)
Hi Sergej, we haven't got any hoodies for sale at the moment I'm afraid, we designed them ourselves and just used an online provider. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. :-)
Did you get the hook out of the eel? Looks like hook broke off inside. But anyways whats that device u use to unhook fish with and is it easy to use?
I can't remember mate, I'll have to re-watch it! :-) I think the device Steve would of been using was a disgorger.
WHY SO MANY DISLIKES? THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS VIDEO!
Haha, thanks mate!
you got quality vids!
Cheers TheGoldenDino47 glad you enjoy them! :-) Fingers crossed we should have lots more to come too! :-)
i dont know how you do it, is there like a camera man in the tree?
Really nice looking fish carp will also have prawn
Cheers Stokesy2002 yeah they will do, in-fact most things will take/have a go at a prawn!
is that lake your fishing in norfolk? just wondering because of your accent? i would like to do more lake fishing for perch, normally fish on the broads, there are some monsters in there! biggest ive had is about 3 and a half on a small roach
Yeah it's in Norfolk Kieran. :-) Nice one, thats a cracking Perch!!!
what lake in norfolk? was a cracking fight! on 4 pound line on a stick float!
as a beginner I want to catch perch ,this vid has shown me how to so......... fanks ;0) good tutorial
mrbrutus300 Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Whether we are right or wrong, as everyone will have there own way of fishing, we just wanted to show what we like to do to try and catch them and I'm glad you found it useful. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
I noticed that your hat was ripped in the back, i'm not saying it's bad and i feel you if it's your lucky hat or something but if you would to make it look not ripped you can just cut the top part off and have the circular band with the front flap still attached, this way you can keep the cap and not have it be ripped. Again idc if you keep it the same or if you choose to trim it off. I just figured i would share my thoughts. Pce
Thanks andras lajko good point, I'll let Steve know! :-)
If you would lay an eel upside down on the mat it becomes much calmer. That way it's better to hold to show for the camera. Saw this in a specimen eel video
Thanks for the tip mate! I'm sure I've heard something similar to that before too! We'll have to try it next time! :-)
How gram should be the weight of the bullet
Need to get yourself a lucky bone as a bobbin! I had a duck bone for years. I've lost it now though :(
Haha, thanks for the tip! ;-) We'll have to see what we can do for the next video! :-)
It looks very much like Jason's lake, I fish the lake myself now and again.
Ahhhh good spot +Mike Rayner ;-) What a lovely place it is too!
those would be considered jumbo where i live... are average are 7-8in perch, ever tried perch meat for perch? that's how we catch the big ones.
Hi Washington State Fish & Waterfowl nice to hear from you from so far away! :-) No I haven't ever used Perch to catch Perch, however I have heard the same - that they can eat each other!
+From The Waters Edge TV yeah they go crazy for perch meat, about an inch long fillet suspended 2 feet off bottom.
I will have a video up in a week or so with me fishing with it.
Happy fishing!
What else did you throw in the green bucket at 4:13? Proms? I think you said is that shrimp?
I think it was some Prawns Steve was using, which are basically large shrimp.
From The Waters Edge TV ok thanks 👌🏽
No worries mate. :-)
What is the size limit of perch crappie bass and any other panfish?
I don't know +Alan Gonzalez in the Uk we put them all back in the water, we only have size limits for saltwater fish.
great!!!!
Thanks mate! :-)
How would this be done on float (rigs wise)?
David Williams (
Never mind the dorsal fin it’s the gill plate you need to be careful with there like razor blades
They are well armoured!
Hi what rods was you using please and test curve? cheers
Hi chris gascoigne we were using Greys Prodigy TX Specimen rods I believe, in 1.25lb possibly. If you look in our video description you'll see a link to our Tackle and Bait Box. All the products we use are posted there. Hope that helps.
I caught a couple of them perch yesterday, the first one was about 14 lbs I reckon, the second one was a lot smaller, about 9 lbs. I lost a really good one to a massive pike, and wouldn't you know it, I forgot my camera.
you need to apply for a world record mate, i dont think a perch has ever reached 8lbs haha
have you still got the cellophane on your rod handle
Yes.
what kind of bait did you use? i couldn't make it out
Prawns and worms +Mariana Bautista
If you have the baitrunner on why have you got your bail alarm open
Just makes it even more free running Peter.
You say that's small for me that is huge my perch I catch is big as the perches tail that you catch
I love fishing for perch using ultra-lights.. makes fighting a 1 lb perch feel like a 10 lb bass
Nice one mate, they are fun fish to catch!
A lake near me has perch to 5 lbs my pb 3lb 2 oz
Nice one Stokesy2002 that's a nice sized stripey!!! :-)
Vad ska jag köpa mc mio eller mc rubber?
Ingen blekaste aning
Buy a mepps aglia spinner for 5$ in Size 1 or 2 for other species as well , better than spending 2$ for prawns every time. And also use silver for stained/turbid water and gold for clear waters, you can get a painted blade or a plain gold/silver one and to be honest actually, i don’t know what the difference is.
Nice one Erik, we familiar with the Mepps spinners, we'll have to give them a go at some stage! :-) Hope you've been catching a few fish.
is that cooked shrimp your using?
They are prawns, but similar thing! :-)
12ft rod for perch? is that normal ?
Anything between 10ft and 13ft is pretty normal Dan. (That's here in the Uk anyway, I know they use shorter around the world.)
I've been fishing Perch all my life, and I can say that they're not sensitive to resistance or big hooks. Maybe it's different here in Sweden, I don't know.
Its different in sleden and the nordisk countries😄👍🎣
Meant sweden
It was autocorrecting😄👍👍🎣
Agree. Not sure why the big hooks, though, I've had 2.2 kilo on a size 16.
Bakkefication I think perch are perch, even in Sweden
eels are nice to catch but hard to get the hook out ofthem
Haha, you are right there +the assassin they can be right little wrigglers sometimes! :-)
How rough should I chop the worms
Totally up to you mate. If you’re fishing for bigger perch it would be quite rough, where as if you’re fishing for smaller perch it’d be pretty fine.
Get your hat caught in a lawn mower or what lol
Haha! Max Sadler it was Steve's lucky hat, it has since been 'retired' now though! :-)
The spikey fin also has venom in it, strong enough to just tingle ya
Niko Mankinen to be affected by poison it has to be ingested. I believe venomous is the word you’re looking for. And even so, their fins are not venomous, just very sharp.
What reel is that? shimano 400 something right??
Hi Daan Siderius they are Shimano Baitrunners in the 4000 size. There's a link to our tackle list in the video description. Hope that helps!
I ment 4000 haha, they look good might just buy some :)
Haha, no worries! Yeah they are nice reels, I do like a Shimano, especially the bait runners! If you have a look in the video description there should be a link to some :-)
Yeah i shall take a look nice for fishing small waters with feeder rods and stuff :)
my perch are tiny
what kind of car are you driving
Ford Focus
6 pound line !
i would say 2 pound max , not many Perch around over that, i know Perch over a pound give a good scrap and like to try and shake the hook but they dont weigh much in the water.
+RAT1969 I use a 10-pound line, I caught a perch once on it.
I was like "wait... I have a bite, that was the most subtle bite ever," I reel it up and I'm like "WOAH I CAUGHT A PERCH! (sigh) but it's too small to eat..." *It was only 4 inches long.*
11:40 crunch landing net handle broke !
Haha, nearly!!! RAT1969 :-)
Gosh I did not know that with that lil hook you can fish all that
Haha, you can get away with a surprisingly small hook sometimes +Jhon Torres
Is it just me or you still have the plastic foil on your rod handle?
Yeah we did.
Get right in amongst the snags that’s my advice
Perch do love the snags!
My first ever catch was a perch!
I think a Perch is often known as a first catch William Tregurtha I think mine could have been too!! :-)
yeah theyre really greedy, often swallow the hook right down...arrrrggghhh !
I just use worms but I cut them in half btw I don’t know why I said this
Chopped worms work too! :-)
Love your vids guys. Could do with lowering the volume on the presenter though, surely he doesn't need to shout so much :)
Keep up the good work.
Only the poms could make Redfin fishing so complicated and rigidly organised. All that organisation and still forgot the beer. Criminal offence here to return Redfin or carp to the water
Haha! I know Wayne... I can't even make the excuse of having the beer off camera! :-O Really? Carp and Perch are two very sought after fish here in the UK, all looked after and released.
Great video but did you really say we might get pestered by big roach 🤦🏻♂️
Glad you enjoyed it Tim! I don't know if Steve did or not, this video is really old now. I know he likes big Roach though, we've fished for and targeted them a few times on the river. :-)
I've never seen anyone using soil as a ground bait
It's quite a good carrier for your loose feed items!
Worms are live bait
Hi Dylan Wallace we mean live bait as in live fish!
good stuff but does he have to shout
Fishing with live maggots and worms is live baiting !
Haha, true... but not really true! 😂
This seems terribly contrived. You'd need a panel van to go fishing. Glad I live in a medium pressure area.
Hi YouADamnWitch sorry, I don't know what you mean? Perhaps you could explain?
The setup is a bit much for my tastes. But I would suppose you need that much kit in a high pressure fishery. I live in the Eastern-ish U.S. not a problem getting perch to bite.
