PERCH FISHING TIPS - Locate and catch with lures (on new venues)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video I share my perch fishing tips to try and help anglers locate and catch big perch on lures. I’m absolutely buzzing to be Perch fishing on the river again. The temperatures are just starting to drop and so it feels like it's time!!!
I’m on a stretch of river that I’ve not fished for perch on before, so it gives me a great opportunity to share with you my approach to trying to find and catch some decent perch on a new venue. It’s still quite mild, we’ve not hit the freezing cold temperatures of winter yet and so it’s a great time to get out there and investigate new spots.
Thanks as always for checking out the video. Please don't forget to like and subscribe for more perch fishing content that's already in the edit!

Yet another stonking video and some absolutely awesome fish 🐟, especially the last dark beasty.
Truly amazing to say the least.
Have i subscribed ? you bet your best rod n' reel i have.
Well shot vid's, full of tips, hints, and advice and the photographic evidence of the fact that, it actually works.
Great stuff.
Cheers Les.
Oh wow Les, you’re a star … thank you so much 🙏 Great feedback 🙌😁😁😁
Mega Nick, I keep saying it but I must do more of this, rather than sitting on my arse with bait and putting weight on 😄 inspirational buddy. Great viewing as always 👏👏
Cheer Derren mate. Yeah it’s a lot of effort but it’s rewarding when you manage to track them down! Cheers for checking it out mate 👍👍
See you got the shades on your hat. For a fellow glasses wearer prescription polarised sunglasses are a game changer!!
Definitely can’t fish properly without polarised glasses personally. 👍👍
Only watched two videos, I’m a fan pocket mash 😂👌
Lovely bit of disorganised pocket mash! 🤣👍
That pike had amazing colours and pattern 😍 👌 be great if it became a big female and you caught it again ! Great vid and fishing 🎣
Cheers mate. Yeah, imagine that as a 20lber!!!
I like the sgt, lovely autumn fish 🎣
Love a big perch 😍👍👍👍
Lovely stuff as always Nick .Looking forward to perch masters !.wishing you every success for your perch season 😁👍👍👍
And you mate. Thank you!
Great video! The markings on that pike was majestic, thank you for sharing
The pike was an incredible creature. Quite stunning 👍👍
Good stuff mate I love the videos keep up the good work
Great video Nick,your catching plenty down there now mate 👍 Lots of useful information. Nice one .
Hope you’re well mate. 👍👍👍
@@Lifeonthebank yeah all good. Haven’t managed too get out much,but will get down there soon hopefully . Your doing well mate and your getting the time in down there 👍 perhaps I will see you down there soon . ( with your 4Ib perch 😄)
Great content man, you come across really well on camera which I know is hard to be natural great stuff
Hey, that’s so kind. I really appreciate it mate. It definitely comes more naturally the longer you do it. Thanks for taking time to give me the kind feedback 🙏👍
great watch this Nick, great tips too!
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it 👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the video and the information contained therein. This is well timed as I plan to go perching sometime over the next couple of days. Like you I will be tackling a new, to me at least, stretch of water. I've managed to pick up some small frozen roach around the one and a half to two inches long, so I'll be giving dead baiting a go too.
I'm very much looking forward to the next Perch Masters series. If it's anything like the last it will be compulsive viewing.
Good luck on the new venue. Always quite a learning curve! First perch masters has been filmed so look forward to sharing that with you soon. Thanks for the kind comments. Be lucky! 👍👍👍
Loved this video!!! let's hope I can catch myself a chunk of a Perch this w.end. Thanks for all your tips, they really do help.
😎🎣🐟
Cheers mate. Appreciated. Good luck at the weekend 👍👍😁
@@Lifeonthebank many thanks🤞
Went out last week with the lures. 13 wasps and a pike! Must look harder I think 🤔 loving the ZT rod you recommend me Nick.
Anyway cracking fish of all species in this video well done
Ha ha cheers Dan. Hope you’re well mate. I caught a bit of everything!!! Love my ZTs. Glad the rod is serving you well 👍👏👏👏
Pocket mash 😀,,Defoe have that when after the bass ,,
Great video Nick, lovely Perch well done 👏 🔥
Cheers mate. I see you been busy yourself today! Nice one mate … good arrows 🎯🔥 🙌
Another great video! some useful information since I've gone back to uni with my rods this year and need to find where those perch are! can't wait for perch masters!
Cheers mate. Good luck hunting down those bigguns!!!
Türkiye den sevgilerimle rastgelsin ☺️☺️👏👏
👍👍
Wow, that pike really was stunning! Excellent video, I WILL catch a big perch before the end of this year if it kills me!
You’ll do it mate 100%! Keep me posted! Yeah, I’ve caught a lot of jacks in my time but that one was incredible! 👍👍👍
Loved the unusual marked pike.nice video
Thanks for checking it out! Crazy pike 🐯👍
What a lovely river😍
A challenging river but yes, a lovely one 😁👍
Quality video mate beautiful perch to I'll be out grafting this weekend for them 👌🤞🎣
Good luck mate. Appreciate your comments 👍👍👍
Love perch, favourite fish to catch
💯 looking forward to the rest of winter now 👍👍👍
Great video! Thanks.

Great fishing...cracking that water...
👍👍👍😁
‘Fantastic video 👍
Thanks!!! 👍👍
Great start fella, stonking old character to finish the morning and
what a mental pike...close to home?😊
Hello mate! Hope you’re doing well. That pike was crazy … I’d love to catch it at 20lb!!!
Fantastic Video, well, done, perseverance works!! Caught my pb for a few years last week, unfortunately it had a damaged rear dorsal, looked pretty nasty, may have been savaged by a pike, but whatever, still a nice fish. Well done (again) and keep the videos coming 👍
Cheers mate. Definitely perseverance goes a long! More perch videos already in the edit 👍👍👍
Definitely going to take this into my fishing, thanks
Excellent stuff! Loads more tips coming in the new Perch Masters series. Keep an eye out for it 👍👍
@@Lifeonthebank 100% as soon as that notification comes up.
Great video!
Cheers mate. Thanks for checking it out 👍👍👍
Great fishing some lovely fish . What's the idea of not using reel drag?
just got back in from a lure bash to this.. you always do it 😂what a stunning pike though!🍿🎥📸 pocket mash🤣🤣 sure i have lost a few lures due to it aswell.
Nice one mate. Good luck with your lure fishing pal 🤞👏👏👍
@@Lifeonthebank cheers nick and to you! 👍🏻🎣🤞🏻
Great video. Which reel size are you using on the ZT lure rods? Thanks
Great new perch vid , love the way you gently and slowly pull that mesh back to reveal your prize . Also is the perch the only fish we measure in the uk ? Crept in from Europe and here to stay I think .
Cheers mate. I kinda measure them and the n if they’re a certain length I might weigh them. Great to be back on Perch!!! 👍👍👍
Another great video Nick, can't wait for the new Perch masters, started my perch fishing about 4 weeks ago caught plenty of wasps but nothing above 12 oz but enjoying it very much short 2 hour sessions at the weekend leading up to dark is all I have time for with family commitments. Catching most on the Ned rigged motor oil Squirm, tempted to give the drop shot a go but too many jacks about as I am using the Derennan 10lb trace wire you recommended and feel the drop shot on fluorocarbon would result in bite off from a jack. keep up the good work!!
I've got the same dilemma. Only getting out at dawn or dusk for short sessions and feel like using a trace is affecting the subtlety of the lure and limiting the bites I get. Switched to a fluoro leader and hooked a decent pike on just a 5cm squirm! It came off, but there was clearly damage to the leader. Might have to switch to this light trace I've seen a few people mention.
You’ll notice that I risked the Dropshot but only once I’d found a pack of decent perch. I think the problems occur when people are ‘searching’ with a Dropshot. You’ll probably encounter pike before you find the perch, I find the 10lb fine wire works ok. Had the bigger fish at the end of the video on the 10lb Drennan wire. I don’t think it will hold you back but do understand your concerns. If there’s a load of jacks present then you gotta use it, no real choice. Hopefully you’ll catch a few decent fish on the thin wire and that will build your confidence in it. Thanks again for checking out the video guys 👍👍👍🙏
What you need to use is knot2kinky 6lb wire trace lot more subtle that your standard traces and does not spook perch . Game changer for perch
Just order this stuff. Apparently really decent and knotable 👌 www.predatortackle.co.uk/Terminal-Tackle/Trace/AFW-Surflon-Micro-Ultra-Camo/
I love my pocket mash
Hi nick cheers for all the great content. Abit curious as to why you were using fluro above the wire trace? I normally tie braid direct to trace?
I’ve always added a length of fluro above the trace, mainly as it’s less visible in the water than the braid. It’s also a bit stronger than the thin braid I use, so acts as a leader that a bit more durable. 👍👍
@@Lifeonthebank cheers for the reply, makes sense, will give it a go on my really clear venue. Have a good New Years and tight lines
Perch are back
You know it mate 😉👌🙌
Hi I’m looking to start doing some fishing for perch but the lake I fish had a lot of pike as well where would I get the light traces from? Or would normal short traces be ok? Many thanks Billy 👍🏻🎣 great videos by the way 😉
Thanks mate. See this video at 9.45 - th-cam.com/video/-J7DspSUc-A/w-d-xo.html in the video I go through making up light traces 👍👍
I’ve got loads of pocket mash, except I call it a table box.
Hopefully they’re catching you a few fish! 👍👍👍
Have you looked at hPa for best fishing days?
Good afternoon buddy. As soon as I seen that you were doing some perch fishing videos again I was over the moon. What a cracking video. Absolutely loves them perch and although I don’t get much chance to go out fishing with Work and family and stuff watching your videos always keeps me happy and keeping myself itchy for my next fishing trip when I get chance. Some cracking fish and like you see the markings on that pike were absolutely amazing. We do have some cracking fish in our waters. Whether they are big or small, it’s always nice to see them. Watching your video though made me think that my braid might be a bit on the heavy side. The rivers where I fish are a bit Snaggy and I use 20lb . Do you think it is a bit heavy ? My leader seems about right. I know it’s probably personal preference but any advice from someone who was a lot more experienced always goes along way. Anyway all the best and keep them stripey videos coming. Absolutely love them. Top man and well done sir 😊
Thank you so much for the kind comments! Means a lot 🙏 Decent 20lb braid is still pretty fine so it’s probably ok. I use the 11lb Illumin8 braid typically and I would recommend trying that. Yes the marking on that Pike! What a fish that was! Thanks again for the comments and good luck with your fishing 👍👍
@@Lifeonthebank oooh never herd of that line before !!! Will look it up 😁😁Much appreciated for the info buddy & thankyouuuuuu 😊👍🏽🎣
Why dont you fish for Perch in the summer? Micro topwater/surface lures are the best! Theyre much more hardly than pike when it comes to fish care in the warm summer water. Also; ever thought about a video spinning for trout?
I just tend to be fishing for other species, like Tench and Crucians. Definitely would like to do a surface lure video for perch though 👍👌 Trout, I tend to use the fly but never say never!! 👍👍👍
I've never seen a pike with markings like that before.
Looks like a tiger musky pike. It's the tail. When I was in Surrey a usa guy was putting tiger musky all over.
Google it 😂 does look a bit Tiger Musky! 👍
Aren't't Tigers sterile ?
Amazing colour on that pike, 👌 👏 😍.
Could I ask what brand and type trace do you use. I'm getting quite unlucky with bigger pike on small nimble and worms.
Thank you 😊
I make up my own traces using Drennan Soft Strand. I did a video. I’ll try and find it for you mate.
Here you go th-cam.com/video/-J7DspSUc-A/w-d-xo.html at about 9.45 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊 very much
Just ordered the wire, thanks for the video tip, very simple way, I might just finish it with touch of ultraviolet resin to stop untangling :)
@@backtohealthyactive4355 yeah, I’ve started to use very fine shrink tube. If you make sure the eye on the small swivels is inside the shrink tube then these will hold in place. 👍
Could you recommend a rod for small perch using ultralight lures? Thanks
Lightest I have is 1-10g, but you’ll possibly want lighter than that ?
I didn't happen to see you on the throop River yesterday looking at the swans, did I?
Nope … wasn’t me!
@@Lifeonthebank oh good in a way that I didn't start asking a random for a photo and fishing advice! Lmao
I caught a total of +14 perch and 2 pikes in my last 3 perch fishing sessions. I lost maybe 5 lures due to snags and I never seem to get any bites with the weedless lures... Any tips?
Maybe fish up in the water more, maybe even surface lures? If you’re using a jighead, go light to stop it dropping to the deck. 1g - 1.5g. At this time of year they’re still pretty active. They’ll hit a lure that’s moving above the snags on the bottom. I hope that helps! 👍
do the squirmz come pre flavoured or do you flavour yourself
Flavour then myself mate. Mike Atlas Rockfish 👌
Ah OK thanks will have a go
Can u give a link for your lures please :)
Google then maybe…
