Big Perch Small River! These Hard Baits Got Crushed!

It was time for another trip down the river / creek. After my last pike session where i can some proper beasts i did notice several big perch chasing and catching chub fry in the margins and knew a hard bait session was in order. I packed a selection of crank baits, jerk baits and twitch baits and headed to the river. I hit all the cover and slack waters knowing this is where the bait fish would be holding out of the main flow and where the perch would be hiding in wait. I had a cracking session with loads of fish caught and some real chunky perch by the end to cap off a great session!

Did you notice the "pike" jumping out the water was actually a barbel taking flight being attacked by a pike? Pretty cool. I caught soo many fish this session too many to even put in the video! Hope you enjoy!

I’m loving your videos man. I grew up fishing for pike and perch in small rivers in south-east England in the 70s and 80s. I was off on my bike after school and all weekend and it was happy times. I left England 32 years ago and have missed Pike fishing ever since. No pike here! Trout fishing has never had the same appeal for me. Tragically when I visited the UK 3 years ago I went back to some of those rivers with my sons and found them horribly silted up and destroyed by housing developments. Heart breaking… Enjoy your fishing and keep up the great work with the informative and hands-on videos. Cheers.

I simply cannot believe the fish you're catching from such skinny water. Water I would have passed by, its open my eyes, really has. Well done mate.

Here in the Northeast US, we catch a lot of big perch while fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. It's rare to fish a river with trout sized raps and catch perch around here. Anyways, awesome video! Love seeing different fishing from around the world.
