Thank you men. I think that location is the hardest part of perch fishing, once you find them, they can often hang themsleves. I'll be doing the odd perch session, but wont up my game until after xmas. Good luck guys. :) Paul

Perca Fluviatilis One from a few weeks ago at 3lbs 3oz.:D

Andy, Chuffed to be there to witness the capture, not seen a golden grey in the flesh before and what a terrific fish it was/is. I reckoned it was 2lbs 8oz, but i guess we will never know. :o Great weekend, a few fish, more than a few beers and if i remember correctly, a few renditions...

Gary, You could try looking for some old 2.25 test Fox Zandermasters; i owned a pair for around 5 years before flogging them to a mate, because i just wasnt getting to use them. I do regret that sale, as they were great rods. :( Paul

Steve, Nice brace matey :D I usually look for structures as well, almost anything man made seems to attract perch, such as walls, bridge supports and fishing platforms etc. Have had some good fish literally at my feet on platforms with my 12' float rod often feeling too long. Dont be...

Hinders Blitz ;)

Defo a 3 plusser, cracking fish Graham. :)

Steve, October sounds good. Paul

Steve, Maybe arrange a meet down there later in the year? Paul

Steve, Good to see your smiling face in the mail last week, greatly deserved. Hope Ben is up and about soon.:) Paul

5-12!:eek: Sounds like some good perch fishing that Nigel, might have to come down for a session or two later in the year. Can you still get day tickets in Davis Tackle? cheers Paul

Steve, Lovely looking fish mate, well done.:) Paul

Lovely condition Roach Graham. :cool: Been gettin the odd half decent fish, but struggling to find the 2's. :o Paul

John, Happy to assist mate; if you do decide to go you will find Martin very likeable and happy to share his methods and Jan will bring cups of tea down to you when you are fishing in the garden. Paul

John, I was in the barbel catchers with Martin for over 11 years, so i have been lucky enough to stay at the cottage many times. I cant guarantee you will get a double, but there is as good as anywhere on the teme and the stretch from powick down to the confluence has very good big fish form...

Adrian, Most on big lumps of spam, open bail. ;) You'd need a punkawalla or carp barrow to carry his sausage baits to the river. :D Paul

John, Could try Martin Cullens place, Temeside Cottage. Have a look at rivers/teme/accomodation. Not sure how it is fishing as i havent seen Martin in a while, but ive had a fair few doubles out of his garden swims. Paul

Thanks Robert, you are bang on. And if it was easy it wouldnt be as enjoyable; i had forgotten how powerful roach can be on light tackle, absolute scrappers arent they. :)

Managed a 1-8 last night, so slowly edging up the weight, but still a way off the target for a new pb and a half decent 2 plusser. Enjoying every minute of this challenge though; completely side tracked for the time being. :D

Good rods mate and still useful imho. In the days before mass produced barbel rods, they were the dogs for feeder fishing on the severn. :)
