Lovely 40cm Perch from a section of the Kennet & Avon Canal that I don’t normally fish. Well chuffed!

4 Species at Hungerford Town
Weird couple of hours down Hungerford Town today. Managed four species on unscented plastics including two Bream, a Ruffe and a Gudgeon, which is only my second ever.
Crimbo Lure Fishing
Crimbo fishing with my mates. Top day gents.
Perching with George Cunningham (HTO)
Without doubt, George Cunningham has had a huge influence on the state of light lure fishing here in the UK. George’s homegrown HTO brand has made it possible for thousands of people to try out LRF and ultralight fishing, without breaking the bank, discovering the addictive fun of these methods. By all accounts, the HTO Rockfish UL remains one of the best selling spinning rods of all time. So, when my threat of taking George Perch fishing on the Kennet & Avon finally looked like a goer last week, we were both really looking forward to it.
Getting Bigger Still
Very happy with this one today. Fished ‘slightly’ bigger because of the windy conditions and it inadvertently paid off with this beautiful 40cm Perch. My best (longest) from the Kennet and Avon for some time. It went 2lb 10 on the scales.
Getting Bigger
A rare session before work saw me christen my new rod with this 38cm Perch.
Fun Fishing
Great day on the K&A with Chris today. Lots of variation in water clarity between stretches. We capitalised in the clearer water using a variety of lures.
Back on the K&A
With the competition scene pretty much over for the year, it was really nice to get back on my local stretch of the Kennet and Avon canal to mess around with some new lures, relax and have some fun.
