After last weeks beating administered by the Dutch anglers, I wanted to spend a little time with dropshot on localised fish. 3 fish in 40 minutes. All 20cm+
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.
WPC Montage
WPC is Go
After 3 hours sleep, today has been a long day. But a good one. Spent the day becoming acclimatised with the beautiful town of Hellevoetsluis. It was apparent from the word go that this event has been very well organised. The World Predator Classic crew have completely taken over the town.
Ecogear SS Minnow
Picked up these SS Minnows in Japan, although I’m sure I’ve seen them in Blighty before now.
Really like the look of them.
Success with BLAC
This is a post I wrote for Ecogear on my successes at rounds 1 and 2 of the British Lure Angling Championships:
“Catching 12cm Perch may not be to every lure angler’s liking but it is certainly a way to qualify in this fantastic new championship.
Day on the K&A
Enjoyable day on the K&A with Masa. Covered some miles. Caught some fish.
Early Spawning Perch
Despite Perch traditionally spawning April-May time, our mild winter and warm conditions over this weekend’s full moon appear to have got my local Perch excited. I had a few Perch like this on Sunday showing signs of spawning: bloated, red tinged body, swollen vent, milky colour on head.
