Great video mate I've been looking forward to more perch videos especially livebaiting....your a lucky boy I've been on shauns case to get on Charlie's lake but its closed to the public till 2023...would love to see more of this content 👍
October 2022 I will be reopening perch fishing 👍🎣, I love my fish so a rest for them was a must, and it has been beneficial to the perch, and the future for them👍🎣
@@shaunbickford38 fair play to ya mate that says a lot about you as a fishery owner...I can't wait to get on and have a few days perch fishing...I really look forward to fishing Charlie's one day in the future 👍...no doubt you'll hear off me again before u open it up lol.
Hiya mate, been watching your vids sine you were young .. this one made me go out and target some big perch Not targeted them since a teenager.. we used to catch them to about a pound…. and today, at 53. … Got a 2 pounder.. on float and worm . 2lb 2oz …. Buzzing …
Great video caught my pb perch the other day totally by accident I was fishing for live baits to use for cats and I caught it on a single maggot on a size 16 hook I was absolutely buzzing, just shy of 2lb
Nice to see you using a paternoster rig, often seems to be a neglected method these days. Personally I love using it for predator fishing, live or dead baits, just seems to work better.
Cheers Tom! Had some delays! A hole in the fibreglass has been fixed, the coping has been finished. Will be filming planting up the beds this week. Have filled the pond up, and turned on filtration, all working perfectly! Nearly finished filming, will ready to edit pt 3 soon. Looking like it will be out in May :)
@@fishingtutorials oh man not ideal with the hole but glad it's been fixed 🤙🏽 glad to see you back out on the bank and definitely a great way to relax. Hopefully I'll be able to get a bit in this next coming month and use some on the advice you give 🤞🏼 Can't wait to see pt3 and the long awaited return of Charlie 🤣
Thank you Tom! :) Yeah been so good to be on the bank again for longer. Haha yes not ideal at all, so relieved it is resolved now. Yep, so nearly ready for Charlie to go in! Can't wait... All the best for your session! Hope you manage to get out soon :)
is it true you sacked alex 'the camera man' and he is now parking up all around Sussex forced to live in a Volkswagen golf eating nothing but field mushrooms wild garlic and honey?
Great video! With some amazing perch! I do have some little question, what is the advantage of a patanoster rig over a normal float set up? Can this type of fishing also be done with the ledger rig you guys showed quit some time ago on this channel?
It's a good way to fish as if your float fishing the hook can get caught on bottom but with the hook been higher up the line less chances of get the hook caught on the bottom and when using a worm 🪱 higher up the line seems to work great
If you want a pb perch take a trip to Beeston canal Nottingham. I fish for pike on there regularly with live bait and there's perch well over 4lb and in abundance.
Great vid! Some lovely specimens there! Carl (and Alex!! GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO I've been watching your other adventures), do you find that fishing static for perch on the patanoster tends to give the Perch more chance to wolf the bait down deeper and then harder to extract with the disgorger? I find myself striking earlier rather than later in the hopes that I just nick the lip rather than having fiddly job with tiny greedy perch devouring massive fat worms! Also intriguing at 3:21, is that an inlet and where is the water going to? Great vid gents thankyou love to see it on a Saturday!
had some monsters out of a local canal in the midlands before i moved away about 15 years ago mostly from the disused locks which made for some interesting landing techniques at times few up to 2ib on worm but the biggest all fell to live baiting when trying for a pike just outside the locks on the downstream side with one of the better sessions resulting in 4 perch back to back all over 3ib with the biggest very close to 4ib. sadly im 90% sure most of these fish are gone from the canal these days . non of the match reports from the area have anywhere near the bag size they used to with winning bags now being around 20ib of fish compaired to them being over 100ib of fish ina 4-6 hour match.
i need some advice. i want to get an all reound travel rod so i can lure fish for pollock, then perch and trout. theres a 5-40g rod but im using 14lb mono so apparently 5g lures wont cast well. instead of grttin that rod, should i just buy a heavier rod (15-40g) and use heavier lures? if so, what 15g+ lures are there for perch and trout?
Not sure if the UK has bullhead minnows ( gudgeon) or galaxis minnows but here in Australia they are bloody dynamite. Catch a lot of 3lbers+ on them ( around 40+cm )
No we don't have bullhead minnows here! We have the Eurasion minnow but don't call them gudgeon, they're called common minnow! We do have a fish called a Gudgeon though (Gobio gobio) Very cute! We do use the minnow for live baiting though - works a treat :)
Whilst the little ones drive me mental with their habit of swallowing the bait, is there a better looking fish than a really big Perch? (Rudd possibly excepted) . Have a small, shallow river near me that always seems to come up with the goods when you least expect it, have had a number of two pounders and did a PB of 3lb 2oz last year whilst trotting for Chub. That looked a mighty fish at the end, what weight was it?
I've been out of the fishing game for about 35 ish years so just wondering in your opinion what tc rod would you recommend to fish for these size Perch (2-4lb)? I have a 1.25tc feeder rod (it does have option for 2oz or 3oz tips to be used) but I think that is too stiff? I have a new rod but not tested it yet, it's a map parabolix black edition 12ft waggler, but I have no idea on the tc, as its a float rod it should be less then 1.25?, I don't want something too stiff that it rips the hook out of their mouths lol. I'm gunna try my luck at this pond in a few months time, it's a 5.5hr drive down south for me though lol. What gram slide floats where you using? Around 5-10? Cheers
An interesting Video, greedy little devils aren't they! I believe that most Waters would benefit from stocking a few good sized Perch to keep the numbers of Silver Fish fry down. Many a good Water has been ruined by the neglect of allowing uncontrolled breeding!
A nice fish well done. However I've just looked up that venue and got the shock of my life! I'd no idea that it was so expensive, never realised that such places charged so much. A total ripoff, my local commercial fishery charges £5 a day. Its a lovely lake about the same size and I've caught several perch 3•5lb+ from it.
@llmama7527 I've found that most commercial fisheries have large perch in them. They're introduced naturally by birds because their eggs are sticky and attach to the birds legs. I have a shoal of of them in my pond that got there that way.
I tend to catch pretty decent perch with live red maggots , biggest one was just bigger than both my hands together (I didn’t have a measuring tape) but yeah an overall decent bait to use for them , might help if anyone else is looking to catch perch ❤
Always loved chasing these fish back home and had so much respect for them, since moving to Australia it turns out they are everywhere in the freshwater here, and an invasive species so they have to be killed once caught, never even thought of eating them but apparently they are one of the best eating fish out there. Anyways love your stuff even though it doesn’t directly translate to the Southern Hemisphere waters ahahah
I'm missing this time with Alex 😢 By the way, I never saw a float system like this. Maybe you could make another tutorial about it? I'm from Germany, I never saw anybody using it. Maybe it's more kind of an English thing?
I've been trying to figure out perch this last month , but yesterday I caught a weird hybrid looking perch that was fully silver with a black back ... Is this a thing ? I can find anything saying anything about hybrid perch .So yesterday I caught my PB perch ! (I've only fished for perch a few times before but a big perch was one of my fishing goals for the year)
Iv seen a perch with a fish tail hanging out of its mouth because the fish was that big.. ok when I was young I had a pet perch 🙄 kept eating all my livebait!
@@lakzerk2344 Place your hand from the head and down to fold their dorsal fins and grab onto them over their back no way your getting spiked then. Alternatively, you can thumb grip them like americans do for bass which works unless you got trebles on the end or you risk getting a hook in your hand

I feel the channel is turning into one of those where you just show yourself catching fish rather than teaching people how to catch them. Barely mentioned the live baiting, how you hook them, if you just chuck it in a random spot or if you bait the area up, hook size etc
Thanks for the feedback Simon, it's not what the channel is becoming - just might be this particular video that seems this way, I will alway aim to include as much detail as possible, but sometimes somethings may slip through.

How to unhook a perch without their annoying spikes getting you?

Slide your hand down them from their head is a good way but you'll stick get nicked at some point 😄
@@LiamJProduction the lil buggers always flap their gills and fins, worse when they're tiny
@@lakzerk2344 Place your hand from the head and down to fold their dorsal fins and grab onto them over their back no way your getting spiked then. Alternatively, you can thumb grip them like americans do for bass which works unless you got trebles on the end or you risk getting a hook in your hand
Thumb grip inside it's mouth is a really secure way to hold them :)
You should go tricklebrook there lots of big perch the biggest that come out I believe is 5lb
it's still Carlton and Alex, but not as we know it 😀
