20-30cm is fine. The perch often come to look at the weight before they see the lure close by.

Hi Martin, braid will snap the second it rubs off a rock and these are all shallow rivers full of stones and rocks where the trout are. Also trout are skittish, having some invisible fleurocarbon before your lure stops the trout from seeing your braided mainline, it makes a huge difference when the water is clear.

@ Much appreciated Senan . One last one if you don’t mind. Are licenses required for fishing in the Republic. My sons and I fish mostly near the Mournes and their licence costs a fortune. I am okay as I am an auld fart so my license Game and course costs a fiver or there abouts . Dont worry I am not gonna inundate you with questions. Thanks again

A lot of the rivers around are club owned and require that clubs permit for the year, some of the rivers are covered by a general licence, ifi have some of the rivers on their website and how to buy licences. But most of the smaller rivers are club owned, the local tackle shops will tell you if any permit/licence is needed to fish it. Unfortunately not many of Irelands rivers are free anymore. Maybe some of the streams are okay, it’s worth asking your closest tackle shop, they would normally sell them if needed.

@ Thanks again see you on the river some times

The toshido ones are the ones to go for if you can find them online. ☺️ ugly stick is very floppy, I wouldn’t use it personally for anything but I’m sure it would do the job id needed. I like light fast action rods for trout, you can use anything really, but for best results you need to finetune things as you’re out more and more.

@senanstanleyfishing that's good to know bud thanks 👍 I'll find them toshido ones what's the casting weight in the ones you have ? I'm looking to do it right from the get go you have it to a tee so I'll be following your advice 🙏

Hi Darragh I mainly use barbed hooks yes. I crush off the barbs when I’m fishing for those smaller river trout, as I don’t really care if I lose them, it’s a small bit easier on the smaller fishes mouth.

Thank you !

No it’s not, shimano tranx is still best in my opinion

Thanks Willie, hopefully all goes well 🙏

@senanstanleyfishing 👍🙏 got myself a boat so will be on the lake this year . Might even see ya about at a competition or two 👍🇮🇪🐊

You’re lucky to have streams like this near you in America ☺️ I don’t tell anyone where I fish here in Ireland ☺️ happy new year!

It’s a super rod! I’m using new brands now, this was just from my savage gear phase haha, fine rod, better rods out there.

@senanstanleyfishing ok thanks, I was thinking about buying a new rod for the new year so I may get this one

I actually don’t know, I’ve never used anything above 4 grams on it

Thanks for watching! The perch fishing is really fun, keeps ya active, definitely without holding the braid on the finger, you’d miss those little delicate taps, on cold days it makes a huge difference 🙏

Thank you I love to do those types of videos, so much fun!

Makes a huge difference to catch rate. You’re covering a space of 40 meters instead of a boat-width with two rods normally.

I’ve never used that particular model myself, I’m sure they are a good option if the guys in the shop are selling them :)

Absolutely

Thank you, it’s a fun way to fish!

It’s not easy! 😂

I’ve seen them lures before, will have to be when the trout season opens here again after march ☺️👍

@ yes can’t wait be one to look forward to tight lines bro 😎🔥

The one in this video is 3 grams I believe

Ya the small par/smolts start moving around the time I was fishing in this video, late march I believe it was, same craic every year really, come across the odd one

They have a slime coat that protects them from bacteria, if you wipe it off with dry hands they will die after release

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment pal. Regarding competitions, I only fish the lure fishing from a boat competitions, Markko Pop on Facebook organises these. And Predator Battle Ireland. There is some perch fishing competitions also through the year that Markko organises, he’s the man to chat to if you can search him on Facebook, he will know more about various tournaments

Perch fishing is very good fun in winter!

Thank you senan I hope your back is alright

Thanks Tommy!

I normally use a tiny swivel with a 50cm leader, the swivel is very small, bkk do good ones

Mel handmade lures piranha !

Piranha jerk !

Soon as the back recovers! 🙏

Yes, see the other videos on the channel ☺️
