FISHING FOR BIG PERCH - THE SEARCH
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- We're fishing for big perch again and this video is about how to find and locate those big perch. Half the battle is simply finding fish, which can be difficult on the river. As always, we're lure fishing. We use crank baits, like the Salmo Rattlin Hornet, to find perch. Then we adopt some finesse tactics to land a few more. For this we use the Korum Snapper Reggiez, a new alternative to the devastating Squirmz. We fishing Ned Rig style with Cheb Rigs to land some nice perch. I hope this helps a few of you fellow anglers in locating big perch on your rivers.

Salmo Hornet is my favourite last few years.
Particularly good while it’s mild and the fish are quite active. Great for reaction strikes 👌
What an awesome video. Talk about wetting the appetite !!! Lots of information and I’m sure everyone will agree when I say My hats off to you and all them fishing sessions when you struggle like a lot of us do and then BOSH !
you reap the rewards.
Spot-on !!! Top man 🎣🎣👍🏽👍🏽😀😀
Wow, thanks for the awesome comment. Yep, if you’re blanking then keep going mate! It WILL happen. It has to eventually! Effort = reward. Thanks again and enjoy the channel 👍👍👍🙏
Another great video Nick, learn so much from all your videos.

Really enjoyed that Nick 🤟🏻
Jason Donaldson thanks Jason. Good to have my perch head on again 😁🎣
What an amazing perch and great video, thanks for sharing all the advice! 👍🏻
Mate, snags in rivers!... gave me good laugh 😂 and bang on re lock gates : ). Excellent session , set the levels high dude. Enjoy
Andrew Flatts hope you’re well mate. We’ll think of you in the sunshine while we plunge into winter!!!! 🤣
They find me! Last week i had two 12 in and some 4-5 in. Drop shot does it for me, with a lure that it is for the sea fishing, but kils it for perch. The transparent lures with cooper and black colour flakes, gives the best results for me. The dark green does it for the pikes. I am sure that on every water, you can find something that works much better than what what i use, and what i use can work very good on my body of water but less on yours.
Try To Catch Me Sounds like you’re doing well! Keep it up! I’ll be back out look for more perch very soon 👍👍👍
Well done Nick, love your videos, met and had a chat with you up near Wheathampstead, with my fishing buddy Andy.
Going to give the Reggiez a go, just ordered them, got to be worth trying something new.
Yes, was great to chat with you! I’m sure I’ll see you and Andy again soon. Good luck with those Reggiez!!!
I loved the video again!🤘🏻 and definitely the opening line 😁😂
Predator Angler 🤣🤣 thanks for watching!!!!
That intro got me weak 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 have a great river season !!!!
Nice one Nick. Nice Perch too.
I have to wait about another month to get on the canals here because they're crystal clear and weedy as hell. At the moment you can see there's no fish - never figured out where they go to hide......short sections between locks so they've got nowhere to go???
Unfortunately - they've put a proper cycle path all the way from the River Shannon to Dublin and called it a "Greenway". As part of this they have cut a 45degree slope into the water on the towpath side - so that's half of the fishes environment gone the entire way along the canal.
I used to pick up loads of big Perch on the towpath side under Lillies....not any more. And there's a million people where there used to be no one except me........very disappointing to say the least.
ezedjay yeah, sounds like a familiar story. It’s definitely not easy fishing but it’s great when you finally do find them!!! Thanks for watching the video 👍👍
Thanks for the tips!! I used to catch a perch almost everytime I went out .. the last two years haven't even been able to spot them!
Yeah it’s been tough round here too. Especially when we keep getting dirty flood water!!! 😫👍👍👍
The most beautiful fish
Love perch … and we’re coming into the perfect time of year! 😉👍
Brilliant video and Perch of those sizes I could only dream about. 👍
Thanks for watching the video mate and good luck on the perch!!!
Great stuff, just getting into my lure fishing as a different discipline.so am grateful for all the info.👍
Dave Walker Thanks and good luck! 👍
A good tip for fishing with micro lures, especially creature baits is to let them just sit there after casting out and after every twitch. Quite often perch and pike aswell will sit and watch the bait for a while before taking it especially when the weather gets colder and they are less active. Recently i've had alot of good perch using this method including a 3lber which i didn't even feel the take from it was only after letting it sit for a good 10-15 seconds that i went to twitch it and set the hook without knowing a fish had taken the lure. Good luck!
@@lukehogg2438 I’m going to try this thanks, I’m new to lures and I find it’s either all chub or all perch , any idea why.
@@lesbaty8919 It comes down to the type of lures you are wanting to use. Micro lures were designed for targeting species such as perch, chub, zander, small pike etc. You can catch big fish on small baits but typically if you were aiming to catch a 20lb pike you wouldn't reach for your micro lure setup as your main approach. Thats all it is really.
@@lukehogg2438 thanks for replying , their is chub to five pound and small perch to about a pound so I’m thinking their must be bigger perch in amongst them, the chub will have it but not seen big perch yet
How can anyone give this a thumbs down? Great video. Love perch fishing.
Thanks!!! Perch fishing is just the best. Love it! 😁👍👌
@@Lifeonthebank I love catching small ones on mepps with a really light setup.
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!
Tight lines
Oh that’s awesome. I look forward to checking it out 👍👍🎥
Loving all your vids mate great work
Neil Hedger cheers pal. Very much appreciated 👍👍👍
I've found loads big perch today on maggots feeder. Hopefully will be catching them again tomorrow
Oh wow … that’s awesome. Keep us updated!!! 👍👍👍
Great work again nick 🎣👌🏻 Nice to see you back on the perch 🎣
DPfishing Couldn’t stay away any longer! Hope you’re doing well mate! 👍👌
Doing great thanks mate 👌🏻🎣 got a little pike trip planned for the morning let’s hope the fish ball 👌🏻🎣
Most underrated fishing youtuber, keep banging videos and youll break the algorithm!
I’ll keep at it mate. Thanks for the support! 👍
Well done mate. Really nice to see it being put into prospective it's something I'm trying to do a little more in my own videos as it can look easy on CZcams but people just don't see the time and effort that goes into it. Keep it up mate always an amazing watch 👊
The Outback UK Cheers mate. Yeah, I saw that in one of your vids, good work. I don’t want my videos to make people feel sh*t about blanking! It definitely can look easy on CZcams so it’s important to communicate that all is not quite as it appears, we can all struggle sometimes. Keep on with your content mate. Good job 👍 🎥
Found the f@#ckers!!
Went down the river this evening,tried them bed rig for the 1st time. Had 3 perch out of the mill pool,then moved to a swim just off it with some slack water,slowly fished the bed with a slanTED ticklerz on.....started getting little hits,fished it almost drop shot style,missed a few but ended up having 8,really happy ☺12 fish session,nothing big, but great fun!!!
I've had this week off work and had 4 sessions on the Leeds and Liverpool canal, with each session being between 2 to 4 hours long. I haven't caught a single perch and managed 1 jack pike. I fished 3 different stretches of the canal, trying all the features I could. Boats, bridges, over- hanging trees, nearside bank and far bank and nothing.
Are our waters that poorly stocked these days? ( I feel like I was fishing well and fishing hard). I can't help but think that 20 to 30 years ago I'd have been pulling them out for fun!
There were often spots I found where I thought "this looks well fishy" for instance a little inlet full of Lillie's with overhanging trees and still nothing.
I fished small lures, jig heads and Ned rigs.
The canal was well weeded and full of leaf litter due to the time if year and more often than not I ended up dragging a lot of stuff in but I still can't say that completely ruined my chances alone.
Tbh, I’ve found October really tough this year. Do you know of any decent perch coming out to anyone in your area? I trawl across Facebook groups and club stretch website, CZcams, match reports etc. Often just knowing that the odd fish is coming out is enough to make me keep going!!! Stick at it mate. 👍👍👍
Great vid nick, roll on the perch.
Steve Boram Indeed. Happy Perching!!! Thanks 👍👍👍🙏
Love your video mate! cracked me up with the opening 🤣
Little buggers drive me mad!!! 🤪🤣
I'm supposed to be going Perch fishing today but I'm watching your video at the moment 😂🎣
🤣🤣 hopefully it will inspire you to get out there!!!! 👍👍👍
Lovely video mate! iv been stuck on a Pb of 2lb on the nose for about 2 years, have only ever targeted my local canal! Branching out this winter and searching the dove! Hope I can implement some of your tips into my campaign
Spyro The Dragon Thank you mate. Good luck this winter! Hope you smash that PB!!! 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed this and some great tips.....just bought some Reggiez!
Good luck. Excellent lures 👍
I like your perch video's... go to Holland once for the real big perch!
Definitely will some day. The perch fishing over there looks incredible! 👍
@@Lifeonthebank The rivers in Holland those connected with a gravel pit (lake) you can catch in the winter time regular perch far above the 5 pounds and above 50 centimeters sometimes...in the summer you have to fish on the rivers like Rijn and Maas. But keep going on with your fantastic perchvideo's. Merry Christmas from the Netherlands!
Great video! There's plenty of trout at the spot we usually fish at but we always struggle with Perch. Going to try a bit further afield and explore some new locations this season 🎣
Thanks and good luck!!! 👍
Apparently that stretch is just full of jacks and not a lot else mate 😂😂 great video mate
Fanter Fishing 🤣🤣🤣 Sod’s law ain’t it. Wish these bloody fish would read the script sometimes!!!!
I'm not an expert but I specialize in perch fishing,!!
Ding dang dong.
Love it
Really good videos on your channel!, very informative and enjoyable to watch, thanks for the great content :)
Excellent feedback. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏🙏
Great video. New to perch fishing, so your advice is very much appreciated. New subscriber.
carollinson Thanks! I’m sure you’re gonna love perching! Thanks for subscribing 👍👍👍
nice vid mate hopefully put some of them tips into practice when i head out soon
Dannys Angling Blog likewise Danny. Been watching your epic pike videos to level up ready for winter!!!
superb
Top man. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍🎥
Enjoyed the video and just subed your channle. The cheb rig is very similar to what we have here in the US called the swinghead jig. Most are fixed hooks but some companies make the heads and you can add our own hook with two split rings.
Really enjoyed that mate thank you. That’s exactly how I go about finding sea trout and bass it’s basically rod hours and your experience. I’ve started pike and Perch fishing in Cheshire but finding most of the waters near me are pretty coloured very poor clarity. I just wondered what your thoughts are for fishing muddy water. Cheers and thanks for informative content 😎
Poor water quality isn’t great for lure fishing. We’re getting more and more flood water in the UK. It’s really making the fishing tricky. I would obviously play around with the colours of your lure. I don’t tend to use really loud colours much but will try white or black in coloured water. Also had a few on crankbaits, to add noise / a rattle into the mix. Finally I know anglers that play around with scent, placing a scent into the cavity on their lures. Coloured water isn’t ideal but it’s something that hard to avoid! Thanks for checking out the channel 👍👍👍
Hi mate wot u sayin. Just subscribed fella. Love the vids very informative and honest info. Keep em coming 👍
Top man. You’re a star! Thanks for the support 🙏
wonderful a vıdeo congratulatıons like 439
Great video once again Nick. Must be quite a job to put together (presumably on your own).
I tried a soft bait for the very first time recently whilst about to pack up on a feeder rod and thought 'sod it, I'll give it a go'. Struck into something heavy in the margins...my heart was racing, could it be a massive perch that I've read and watched so much of this year...the fight carried on and my thoughts slowly turned to a pike...will it bite through the line?! After about 15 minutes, it surfaced...is that a...? No!? 21lb carp. Foul hooked. Couldnt believe it. I go with my 1-7g Daiwa Ninja rod for the first time on Saturday to a local river. Would make my absolute year to get even a 2lb perch. Tight lines.
Trust1878 carp story made me chuckle 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck on the perch! 👍👍
Ok, I am going fishing now! :)
You definitely, definitely should! 😁👍
Bangin!
Mark Lamude cheers mate!!! 🙌👍👍👍
Haha its finding the f*****z init 👌🏻🎣💯🐟🤣
girl_piker little buggers!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@Lifeonthebank :)🤣🤣🤣💯🎣🐟👌🏻keep ot up mate u got some realy nice videos big stunnin fish i saw your first vid i watched i subscribed :)
@@girl_piker5625 you're one of the originals then!! Thanks for the support! It's appreciated.
Hi Nick, l’d love to see how you tackle a weir. Ive scouted a few near me and could do with some options on how to catch something big! 👍
Mr B .. check the slack water in detail with Ned Rigs or Drop Shot. If nothing after a couple of short sessions then assume they’re not there. Even then maybe check it periodically. They might only be there at a certain time in the season. 👍👍
Thanks will give that a try 👍
Haha that what I think all the time 🤣🤣🤣
Big boy fishing82 me too! 🤣
Brilliant content as always,quick question for you,is there a reason you sometimes wind the reel the wrong way,I've noticed it on some of your other videos ?
Conor O toole Sometimes the fish are in a funny mood and they don’t hit that confidently. This can result in them being lightly hooked. I then start to use a combination of drag and back wind to try and prevent hook pulls. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching mate 👍👍
I live in North London. Any tips for well over fished waters where only anglers who use lobworms or live bait have some results?
Stick with creature baits as it gets cold. Ditch the shads and bump creatures very slowly on the bottom. Good luck!!!
It's all about finding the right water because not many have actual 'big perch' in them
I’m mainly referring to our UK rivers and most of our rivers actually do. Wasn’t clear in the vid to be fair. Thanks for checking out the channel 👍😂😂
Solid
Another great video, thanks. I have a question though. If I fish a stretch of water I've not fished before and get no bites at all, is it worth trying that stretch again some time or just write it off?
Definitely don’t write it off after just one session. Maybe try a different time of day or different lures next time. If the water was coloured maybe try it when conditions have changed. I’d give it a few goes before moving on, especially if it has some classic looking holding areas. Thanks for checking out the video 👍👍👍
Bought 9 reggiez 2 years ago, never had a single fish on them.
Hello mate what is the net you are using in this vid ? Great video and lovely fish👍👍
Korum Tilta net mate - www.anglingdirect.co.uk/korum-snapper-latex-tilta-floating-net 👍👍👍
Great vid mate ,always good content 👍 👌. Quick question though.. There is a nice over hung set of trees on my lake, it is always in the shade and I don't see a lot of pray fish near it.could it still hold big perch or should I avoid it.
Thank you mate. I would give it a go. It’s obviously got your curiosity and there’s only one way to find out. Pass a few lures around it slowly, see what happens. Good luck! 👍👍👍
Nice video. I see you backwinding the reel, i have not seen that for years here in sweden. Anyway, what is that name for the ned worm you use sometimes. well not in this video but others.
Hey, thanks. I use a mix of backwind and drag. Nearly always using new / different reels so trust my hands until I get used to them. I use the Korum Squirmz for my Ned rigs 👍
@@Lifeonthebank Thanks alot for a fast answer.
Must have filmed this before the rain - chocolate here.
Haircut Chael Yeah it was. Rivers are currently trashed!!! 🤣
@@Lifeonthebank Hopefully we can get out at the weekend :^)
Good luck if you do! 👍
Never truer words hhaaa. Cracking Perch though.
Thanks 🙏 👍👍👍
Hi,can you please tell me,where did you get your 'mini' unhooking mat from?
Thanks,
Nick Richardson.
Google ‘Korum snapper perch weighing mat’ 👍👍👍
Hello, excellent vid. I notice you removed the front treble. Now I think trebles are barbaric, so I always crush the barbs, experimented with taken the front 1 off as well, sometimes clipping off 1 hook from the treble. Can’t really tell if this affects the lures movement or hookups. Any thoughts. Kind regards.
Excellent videos mate. Keep them coming 👍🏻 what so solid rod you using? I’m using the 1-7g
Hi please could you tell me where to find the lures you are using in this video? Thanks neil
The Reggiez should be available in you local tackle shop. Alternatively Google it, I think there might be some with Angling Direct and Amazon. 👍
Hiya My son just bought the speed sl 2000 like you use . He says it’s not very smooth ? Is yours like that ? Cheers Terry
Nice 👍 where’s this place/location? Thx
Hey Nick! Really useful tips and advice. You mentioned about looking at google maps to find spots but how do you go about get permission to fish along those stretches? Are you seeking day tickets or are the spots you find free fishing areas?
Any lure fishing videos for pike planned? :)
Can’t believe I’ve not done one yet. Yes, definitely at some point soon! 👍
Hi, there seems to be lots of varying opinions on the merits red braid. How have you found it? 🧐
Yeah, it’s been ok. I use a leader of up yo 6ft. Handy as you can easily see plucks by watching the line/braid.
Hi Nick
I’m sure you had the occasional deep hooked perch, like I have. In most situations I can get the hook and lure out from the perch’s mouth. It is distressing for the fish and in very minimal circumstances fatal, and that is distressing for the angler. Do you have any recommendations for a hook cutter that’s suitable for cutting the hook so that it can be more successfully withdrawn. I expect limitations exist because of the access through the perch’s mouth, but they do have a slightly more cavernous mouth. Any thoughts or ideas really appreciated.
Dave
I’ve not yet had to use my cutters but do always carry some. They are just standard wire cutters you’d find in a diy store. I always have long nose pliers and forcepts too. Finally a good old fashioned discorger, in case you catch a small perch where you can’t fit much at all in its mouth. Good question. Fish care should always be paramount 😉👍
@@Lifeonthebank Thanks Nick for answering, I’ve taken your advice and ordered a standard side cutters (140mm length handles, the opening of the jaw I can see should allow access to the perch’s mouth and throat areas) it’s great advice together with the disgorger, which as a club angler we are made to carry naturally. Thanks again Nick. I’m re-watching your videos again, very informative and just plain pleasant to watch!! 😉 Tight lines
What back pack is that please? I've wasted so much money over the years trying find the perfect lure carrying system for me and I'm still searching.
Cheers
I use the Spro Freestyle V2 Backpack 25. Waterproof and nicely designed with trays in the bottom section 👌👍
@@Lifeonthebank yeah looks it, have you had any problems with the zips I have the freestyle ultrafree belt and the zip is buggered after 12 months.
Cheers
@@richardbeadle3945 no mate. It’s been fine. I think there’s a newer version of mine available now.
can you tell me the river season is from please as im a bit confused . im new to the fresh water fishing thing lol
16th June to 15th March 👍
@@Lifeonthebank thanks mate much appriciared
Advice please- would you pre bait a swim for trying to catch a river carp.
How many kgs of ground bait and hemp would you use? I was planning on pre baiting for a few days. Ground bait hemp sweatcorn . Tiger nut hook baits.?! Any tips welcome
Don’t go crazy because they will start to feed less as it gets cold. Little and often I would say. Are their lots of other nuisance fish?
They just spooky and tricky, I had decent fish crashing over the pre baited area today. Will keep putting bait in few kilos a week. Just got to not give up. Yes small fish lots. Put Ground bait sweatcorn and few tiger nuts and hemp and boolies. Will fish with larger baits. Tiger and boolie
Im an international student in Bangor, North Wales. I really have no idea about fishing here in the UK . Is it allowed to go out and fishing in public (catch and release)? Do I need a permission?
You the guvnor
Be lucky
Not that you need it 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏 You too! Keep catching!!! 👍👍👌
Sorry for the bloody auto spell errors in my last comment
Nice video but disappointing to see yet another angler advocating retaining perch in a landing net.
This is illegal.
Just return it. If you don't catch another because it spooks the fish, so what?
I always rest a fish in the net after a fight. Particularly important with pike and barbel. Last thing it wants is to be pulled straight out the water for a photos etc. That’s all that is happening here really.
@@Lifeonthebank be honest, this is you hoping to catch another before you release the first fish for a more impressive catch shot.
The fish can't even right itself in the net as it's not deep enough.
The fish is resting in the net regardless of whether I’m casting for another or not. After a couple of snaps it was released and swam off nice and strong.
Keep net is for keeping fish in like it or not
Landing net is for landing fish.
Once you start fishing again you are keeping your fish in a landing net which is illegal
You know it's not right so don't fu@@ing do it.
