    Perch

    Pea souper Steve;) In truth the background wasn't neutral enough. As a guest on the water it seemed the right thing to blank it out. The attached picture of the other, slightly smaller one at 3.01, was taken against a bland background. I am sure you understand? Bob

    Perch

    Latest perch I caught this 2.15 beauty on Sunday by the drop shot method. It is surprising what they will take if you waggle it a bit! Bob

    Daiwa whisker kevlar pike rod wks-612ef

    It would appear that a bargain was certainly missed. It fetched £209+£20 p&p so it was certainly sought after. Bob

    Daiwa whisker kevlar pike rod wks-612ef

    I bought this rod new in around 1999 and have hardly used it. It is in as new condition, absolutely unmarked with the unmarked bag. I never use the overused word Mint, but that is what this is. I know this particular rod is quite a sought after model, and because of that, and it's the...

    Perch

    The first perch session of the autumn. I went drop shot fishing for perch last weekend and was happy with the results. I had 9 perch to 3.01 (pictured) and a couple of small bonus pike. This is truly a magical way to fish!:) Bob

    Perch

    Well done Paul! It is a great way to fish, it feels like you are really angling for them. Just a teeny bit envious. Bob

    Perch

    Drop shotting Hi Brian, Just an update on the drop shot fishing for perch campaign. My mate and I have just had our 4th session and the total between us to date is 59 decent perch, 9 of them over 3lb and the biggest at 4.01. In addition we have had 11 zander including 2 doubles & several...

    Perch

    Hi Brian, Yes, my basic set up is pretty much as described but I do have a snood of about 4", rather than the hook straight to the line, as the Americans seem to favour. If you wish to have a wire trace, why not utilise a small 3-swivel and also have a wire uptrace. Use an inch of shrink...

    Perch

    Hello Brian, No I didn't use a wire trace. I also caught 2 pike & have previously caught others, plus 2 zander. All have been well hooked in the scissors. The single fine wire hooks lead me to believe that there is very little danger to toothy predators, I hope I am not proved wrong. My...

    Perch

    Drop shotting On my first concerted session drop shotting on Friday I caught 9 perch topped by a 3.06, 2.12 & 3 others over 2lb. Rather than use rubber lures I fished with large lobworms. My boat partner used jelly worms and caught 11, with at least 5 over the magical 2 lb barrier up to 2.12...
