Hi Ivan, I know you have fished the feeder canal on a regular basis. are there any big perch down there from what you know?
ReplyDeleteHi Edward, I have not fished the Feeder since June and did not have any myself during March to June. I have seen 2lb perch plus caught close in at Baltic Wharf so the must be in the Feeder as well. Some years ago I had some good perch by the old General Hospital.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivan, I caught a perch at claverton last week, just under 2lb. I really want to catch a specimen this Autumn so was going to head to the feeder to try. Will I get snapped up by any pike down there? Do you know of any other good areas for big perch?
ReplyDeleteThink you will be ok concerning pike. It's not really my bag now but the horseshoe lake or the main lake at Plantation Fishery Kingston Seymour has some very big perch. Pegs 11 to 14 on the main lake. I saw a guy fishing with prawns for them with some success.
