Perch & Pike – First day of the season with videos!
The day arrived and i was down on the river by 4:15 ready to launch an assualt on the fish that lurked beneath. The river was quite clear with a slow flow to it, not ideal conditions but i had to be there! I baited with chopped worm and reg maggots on the edge of the reeds in the hope to tempt a stripey into biting! I didn’t have to wait long and the first one was in the net. Not a biggie but it was what i was after so i couldn’t complain. After this i managed two more perch to a 1lb and a half on worms, a 4lb bream and a small chub. Then the swim died.
I put the rod down and a pike went for the float which was just dangling on the water… shortly after he then assumed his resting position right against the bank about 2 feet away from me. I couldn’t help to see what he would like for lunch, so i tried a few worms and managed to get them on video dropping into the water, then i tried a few tiddlers to see whether or not he was up for the challenge of a fishy snack!
