  • This session I hit the canal with the lures in search of elusive big perch using lures only! Throughout the session I share some hits and tips when it comes to targeting post spawn perch, but I never expected the session to go this well! Especially when I found the honey hole!

    Fantastic,l ! perch is my favourite fish to catch, but being more of a fly fisherman these days, I haven't caught one in years, but my local reservoir has been spilling a few into the river I mainly fish, so hopefully it won't be to long before I have another one if these beauties in my net

    Awesome session. Took me years to catch a 2lb+ canal perch, then had 2 in an hour from the same spot, biggest was 2lb12oz, they were backed up by 2 more fish just under the 2lb mark. Was probably the best hour of fishing I've ever had. Theres something really special about a real big perch.

    Another great video of a great session. I don't know if you actually get any income from your UA-cam channel Chris, but if you do, I'm pleased for you because you absolutely deserve it - your love for angling and the respect and care for the fish you catch shines through, you impart shedloads of really useful knowledge, and your filming, editing and production skills are top notch and presumably self-taught? Best of all, you inspire people to get off their arses and go out and have a go. I ever meet you in a pub, a pint is definitely coming your way, cheers.

      Thank's for the kind words buddy it's very much appreciated. This is actually my full time job and has been for almost 3 years now. Best job in the world but it's none stop. A lot of people don't know this but I actually took media production and conservation courses at college. The aim was to go into Wildlife documentary production which was my dream. So thinking about it I'm almost doing what I'd set out to do at 16

    Fellow Ginger here. I grew up catching Yellow Perch in Upstate New York, in the US. We lived in the Finger Lakes region on Keuka Lake. When I was a kid, the water was so clear that you could see the bottom clearly in 20 feet of water. We could jig for em by site. Awesome memories. Thanks for taking me back in time. I'd love to fish that bridge. Awesome spot!

    Another great session again Chris. Lovely Perch from the Canal. As we all know Perch do not like bright light. And It Is even worse If the sun comes out. So always look for anything over hanging the water, producing a nice dark area for them to congregate In. Plus bait fish will also go these places for protection as well. Keep 'Em Coming.

    I've caught decent sized ones and small ones last summer by using maggots. A shoal of perch would always chill by the bridge but never under it and I'd lure them to the margins with maggots to keep them interested and I'd jig 3-4 maggots till they took it. They were a bit wary as I was standing right over them 😂
