A video that makes you want to get out on the bank. Two skilled anglers clearly at ease, no egos, talking knowledgeably and showing that success can be had without any great complexity. Thanks guys.
Thanks for the great info, I had a bit of beginners luck with early morning margin perch catches but that soon stopped and seemed hit and miss! will try the deeper areas and wait for low light and dull days.
Brilliant info straight from the start, I would of fished features and not think about fishing deeper water. Bonus as well two great anglers. More of this please 😀👍
A couple of Q's @ AndglingDirectUK or anyone please: 1) How far would a Perch carry the bait? I'm guessing it's not a full-on 'run' . Should I strike early to avoid hooking deep? 2) Would using captive back leads spook a bite? I'm so used to using them to avoid false bites when carping I'd feel more confident using them. Really nice video btw. Mellow guys.
Hi Roy, Perch wouldn't carry the bait far, normally they'd just inhale it, so probably best to strike quite early. I wouldn't use back leads either, as this could possibly distort bite detection. When Perch fishing you shouldn't get too many issues with liners like you perhaps would when carp fishing. Hope that helps and glad you enjoyed the video! :-)
Hi Gavin, although it can be frowned upon by some, live baiting in my opinion is the most effective way to catch big perch. So long as rules allow it on the venue and baits are caught at the same venue you use them I'm happy to do it, Regards Phil
Thanks for the reply Phil...I did a bit on my local pond last year with a simple run rig and size 4 kamasan b983 on a 2 oz tip feeder rod but kept getting miss takes....any idea on what I was doing wrong
Personally Gavin I prefer to use a float when live baiting. I feel it offers less resistance and better bite indication. Also you can cover more water by letting the baits roam around the lake freely.
OK thankyou mate how far off the bottom would u have the live bait and would u fish it straight on the line or paternoster style...may give it a go this weekend
@@gavincorbett1272 If free roaming I'd set it so the bait works just off the bottom. I'd use a paternoster if I wanted to keep the bait in a certain area like a snag. Good luck if you do go this weekend, Phil,
Hi Stuart, the float size more depends on the distance I need to cast and the depth of the lake. The float doesn't need to support the weight of the prawn as I always fish the prawn on the bottom. Hope this helps? Regards Phil,
Hi, the bobbins Phil used in the video where Korum bobbins. This video was filmed back in 2016 and sadly they are no longer available. You could use the fox rage drop offs if you set the clips as sensitive as possible. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/fox-rage-predator-drop-arm-indicator-mk2?queryID=83f5f437865063e04f0f5f7ce029ff44&objectID=48976&indexName=live_ad_uk_products
Hi Aoife, the float will be around 2 foot above the hook when casting. Then it's fished as a sliding float set up so will settle at the chosen depth. Baits such as worms and prawns are best fished on the bottom on the lake.
Schindlers fist I was thinking that as well,love that channel,hopefully he hasn't jumped ship,and still films episodes of that show with his friend Dan on there also.

Thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Hope your fishing is going well and that you're catching a few!

I caught my first perch a week ago and it was my first fish and this video really helped me so thank you
That is awesome!

Thanks for the kind comments Barry, glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful - there'll be lots more to come in the next few months. :-)
AnglingDirectUK great look forward

@@AnglingDirectTV Many thanks and seasons greetings!
Great video. Off tomorrow for my boys first fishing trip.
Thanks! Hope your boys enjoyed it and that you managed to catch a few fish! :-)
Great vid chaps ta v much
Thanks Graham, nice to hear you enjoyed it!
I caught a 2.5lbs perch from the tidle Stour on meat right on sundown.
Thank you
Love catching some big perch
They are an impressive fish! Hope you've been catching a few this winter :-)
Lovely vid guys!
Thanks James!
Lovely video, what drop off indicators are they
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :-) I think they were some that Phil had created himself using the Korum Indicator set.
Would love to see his take on livebaiting for perch 👌

great
Thanks Rory, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video! Which rod an reel do you use for ledgering? Best regards
Marco Berger i recommend just any quiver tip rod with a match reel usually filled with 6lb mono
Good stuff 😜👍👍👍🏴✌️
Because of the weight of the king prawn, what float do you recommend because prawns are very heavy? Thanks 👍
Hi Stuart, the float size more depends on the distance I need to cast and the depth of the lake. The float doesn't need to support the weight of the prawn as I always fish the prawn on the bottom.
Hope this helps?
Regards Phil,
@@AnglingDirectTV it does thanks
Could you use spratz as bait for bigger perch
There's a chance that a big perch would take a Sprat, but freshwater dead baits would much better such as small roach or Rudd.
@@AnglingDirectTV 👍🏴
What dropp off bobbin was that please

Today I am going to fish my local docks have a great day all 👍🏼
How far is the float away from the hook please?

@@AnglingDirectTV 2ft off the hook isnt going to settle the hook on the bottom tho is it?
when did they employ from the waters edge guy?

Can’t even understand these Blokes. Mate, l’ m gonna catch a pint and leave.
