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

perch
LRF tackle and techniques cross over perfectly for freshwater species. None more so than the beautiful Perch. Over the past few years, more and more freshwater anglers have tried – and enjoyed – an ultralight approach to their lure fishing for Perch, many adopting LRF tackle and techniques. Subsequently, Dropshot and Micro Jigging have become hugely popular for Perch. Perch offer the LRF angler a fantastic target during the colder months of the year, when our coastline is at its quietest.

Crimbo fishing with my mates. Top day gents.
Perching with George Cunningham
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. More
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.

A rare session before work saw me christen my new rod with this 38cm Perch.
Major Craft Turel Extended Review
We’re approaching the end of 2014 and it’s a good time to review what’s worked and what hasn’t worked this year. If I think back to my competition angling, one rod stands head and shoulders above the rest as my best performing lure rod – the Major Craft Turel TUS-T762. More
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. More
