Damn it seems like ages, but for the next three days i will be Perch fishing the Medway!  Well half a day each from tomorrow through till Sunday.  I love the night before, all the tackle gets a fresh sort through and the rods get prepared.  Man what a great feeling! 

I’ll be sure to try and post the results of each day either on here or the forum www.perchforum.co.uk

Has anyone else been on the bank since the new year and caught any nice Pike, Perch or Chub? If so join up to the forum and let us know – what when and where you’ve caught and discuss techniques and baits etc.  It’ll be good to have you on board! 

Tight lines for 2009

Well fingers crossed this weekend the river won’t be flowing hard and coloured chocolate brown, as last weekend it was real hard going!  Cold, wet and with the river in flood isn’t just wasn’t to be.  Tried all my tricks and the Pike just didn’t want to know.  Tried the slacks that had produced 4 doubles the week before but they just weren’t to be found in their favourite hide outs either.  Stumped!  So hopefully this weekend with less rain i should be in with a shot! 

If it doesn’t look great i may have to resort to trying to catch some perch instead… hmmm!  I cannot wait, each day at the moment i am constantly checking the weather to see how its changing.  As for now its flippin cold but that sure as hell won’t stop me!  So far for the weekend its looking like a zero degrees day time temperature for both days although i’m sure a perch in the net will warm me up!  

I’ll let you know how it goes!   Keep check on how i get on : www.perchforum.co.uk

If like me you enjoy strolling the river bank with spinners and small lures this is ideal for you.  Before i purchased this i always struggled to keep my lures and spinners in order, near on every visit i’d be trying to seperate them.  Since adding this bag to my setup the treble tangles are a thing of the past!  For £19.99 this is a must have luggage item.  It is extremely well built with zipped 4 pockets for any additional items, such as wire, forceps etc, and included in the price is 5 adjustable lure boxes.   It really is a great item for travelling light!

Check it out!

At last someone has decided to make a decent piece of kit to hold your pike trace, a big well done to Savage Gear . It seems extremely well made if not a little fiddly to start with, you will soon be wondering how you ever survived without one. And all this for the bargain price of £9.99. I have been using a conventional rig bin but always struggled to get many traces in without tangling them up a little, this will save me a lot of time and grief!

If you fancy writing an article please let me know.  It would make it alot easier in producing a great site for all to benefit.   Whether its a tackle review, venue write up or a capture report… simply post a comment on here and i’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Also how about sending over any great capture pictures that we can add to the gallery ready for when its launched.

Thanks!

Welcome to pikeandperch here to inform you of news, tackle, rigs and general info on pike and perch fishing in the UK and abroad.  I’ve started this up as i always seem to struggle to find decent information about this type of fishing!   Reviews seems hard to come by, tips and forums never seem to do as well as carp sites and leave us Pike and Perch anglers struggling to browse through endless pages to find what we need.

Welcome to the site and hope you enjoy.  If you would like to contribute please let me know!
