I am loving the Perch fishing, you need less kit and time. It may even teach me to take less carp fishing! But that’s not possible.

I have come back to my local lake and my first port of call is the pads swim by the bridge. This is the most productive spot so far for me, it has plenty of features and a few good signs of baitfish for the Perch this morning.

I am sticking to the prawns, simply because I forget to dig for worms yesterday and the ground is frozen solid in my garden this morning – not very organized for me. These things happen.

After about an hour and a half, with a twitch to my left-hand rod in the first 20 minutes, I was very hopeful. But it was time to move on.

My second swim gave me plenty of options but the buzzers stayed silent. As before I, flicked the jig rod about before I moved on to my next and last swim. Some heavy rain is due and with no brolly with me, I just don’t fancy getting wet.

It was not long before I received a twitch on the left-hand rod, fingers crossed something will turn up and I will bank a nice perch today.
Despite best efforts today, it was not meet to be.
Until next time

100% Milled Micros and Milled Expanders… You might think that they are pretty much the same thing, just in a different bag. The reality is they both perform very differently!
Jamie Hughes explains when he would use each of them…
We don’t like to overcomplicate things unnecessarily, a pint to a bag will give you the perfect starting point…
A freezing cold Lake John was the venue of choice for the next episode of ‘Bait Hacks’ – Simon Willsmore shows us the changes he makes to his approach to keep the skimmers and bream coming now the tempratures have dropped!

We’ll be getting out on the bank very soon with Simon Willsmore to reveal some of his secrets as to how he is so consistent on all sorts of natural venues!

If you could choose one angler, past or present to be sat with you during a match, who would it be and why?
