Lure fishing for perch in the cold!
I was up well up for some more perch action on friday and with that in mind I made sure i was up nice and early to give a small nearby pit another go. I had my first lure caught perch from this lake the other day and at approx a pound and a bit i was eager to try to find some more.
I drove down there nice and early after de-icing the car and the lake was extremely high but not too coloured so i thought it was definately worth a shot.
First hour not a touch, and i hadn’t seen any movement at all. But then low and behold after moving swims a few times bump bump on the lure and whallop i was in. It felt like a good un and kept its head down for a little while and then up it popped and was scooped into the waiting net. It sure looked like a lure caught pb and once on the scales it went 2lb 2oz’s – at last I’d managed a 2lb’er on a lure! Happy days indeed.
No others were taken and once it got bright i headed home, fingers crossed i’ll be back down there for the last couple of hours of light to try and tempt another one!

Cracking perch, especially on a lure. Lure looks interesting – spinner/jelly worm?!? Only ever caught them on traditional baits like lobworms and maggots myself, i’ll have to have a go for them with lures – when it warms up a bit! Untill then its pike for me. Nice looking blog.
