Yes alfie lad 👍 best perch advice to hit TH-cam...I fish for perch but struggle to find the bigger ones so changed my tactics to how you fish after watching the video u did on cypography...I'm now excited for my perch fishing again...keep up the good work 👍
lovely mate! Just a quick question about the paternoster setup for the live bait rig, could this setup be used with small deadbait roach and lobworms? Providing its fished in some form of flow so the bait can separate from the mainline?
Great video alfie iv become a big fan of chasing stripys in the winter when the carp go silent please get DRENNAN TO MAKE THOSE FLOATS its very hard to get a inline perch bobber
If Alfie doesn't reply, best way is through the upper lip with the hook point being uppermost. Nick it just behind the soft lip area where you feel it a little firmer. Very sharp hooks are a MUST. If you use a fine wire hook (but strong) and hook them carefully the live baits can often be removed alive and survive with no more than a piercing. When I live bait, most of the time the live bait survives unless it's taken by the predator.
Hiya Alf! I see your in my neck of the woods! Theres going to be a record out of there very soon and not just perch! Goog location is above and below Ware sluice and next too! Hope to see you 👍
for your age yoube done very well and im very proud to see this !! one day maybe id have the privilege to joing you !! haha our perch here are few and far between and dont have as many options
I know there is few clonkers knocking about in this carp lake I fished 5lb+ but they introduced cats some time ago I'm just wondering how to avoid them obviously when it's cold but any other tips how to pick out the perch
Hey bud, been doing this tactic and it’s been working very well so thank you 👌🏻 keep getting deep hooked perch though, even when I’m striking the float quickly - are you hooking your live bait on though the mouth or dorsal?
Thanks for reply Alfie. Its the same rule on my local pike and perch stretch. Sometimes, finding and catching the right stamp of bait fish can be the hardest part lol. I learn a lot from your videos, keep up the great angling and thanks for sharing 👍
Cracker Alfie and thanks for holding the Perch with respect, it's important those who are in the public eye so to speak set the right standards with none of this mouth grabbing and hanging. Huge respect or that. Big Perch are my passion, I fish very similarly though mostly use the paternoster as I find the rovers like to sew me into any snag they can find. I don't use large bobbers though, I found some floats online that resemble big pole floats (up to 5g) and they have a removable orange tip with the hole designed to accept any 3mm glow sticks. That way I can switch from a standard tip to a glowy night light when the light drops off. I find the simple rule of bigger live bait = bigger Perch, not 100% of course but generally does the trick especially when they are grouped in various sizes. Look forward to the next one.
If you don’t mind me asking, where do you purchase the sliding bolo floats? Askari used to sell a semi inline chemical float that was perfect in 4-6 g sizes but they no longer seem to stock them. Thanks and all the best.
Nothing like catching an old sergeant, especially one who shows the battle scars of life. Lovely video Alfie keep it up. 👍🏻
Thank you.😁
You've got the knowledge Alfie, inspiring for sure, Gona have to make some more slider floats
Always make time to watch your videos. Your a very tactical and angler, its great to watch. Keep it up!
Lovely fish, and good to see you sharing your setup and tactics simple and very effective.
Thank you for another great video! Now I’m looking forward to do some live baiting for perch
Any time!
Good video as always Alfie, & good tips! Love the wellies 😮
Thanks! 😀

Brilliant info,very interesting too . And what a perch to finish off 👍

Great video and some excellent tips. One thing, what bait do you use and where do you keep it as you travel very light. ?
A have a bucket and bubbler. Wasn’t carrying it in some of the shots.
Where do you get these floats from I cannot find any online perch floats in this shape and style
Ian Lewis makes inline bobbers
Where on the River Lea did you catch that beautiful big perch ???
centrepin on river? or boom or treble swivel? cotton ear buds for small booms
Alfie where do you get your inline floats please 👍😊🌞
I use small Drennan floats the sliders are bass bobbers given to me by a friend.
@@alfierussellangler I've always used drennan loafers👍🌞
maybe stupid question but how do you hook your bait? and what kind of bait you are using! wanna try this rig soon!
Through the top lip.
Interested to see your bait approach and how you hook either the dead baits or live baits? And would the paternoster work on a lake with no flow
If Alfie doesn't reply, best way is through the upper lip with the hook point being uppermost. Nick it just behind the soft lip area where you feel it a little firmer. Very sharp hooks are a MUST.

Superb content Alfie. Keep it coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

❤👏💪 superb as always Alf
Thank you 🙌
Alfie at the end of this video it look like you was using silver fish to catch perch ...am I right and was it a roach??
what braid are you using mate ?
@@reecegarraway3366 Drennan bait up braid

That's lovely mate!!!
Thanks bro 👊🏻
Are you using live baits on both setups? Do you fish for your live baits before you set out after the perch?
Yes always catch baits first. From the same venue if live baiting allowed. And use them on both methods.
Thanks for reply Alfie. Its the same rule on my local pike and perch stretch. Sometimes, finding and catching the right stamp of bait fish can be the hardest part lol.
