Perching out and abaut


Perch,a lovely member of the bass family. Head out to the Lough Erne connection for a little explore, i personally love been there because nice variety of piesces there and the fish is in top condition. This stripy creatures moves all around in soles so i prefer to stay mobile, walk and cast to follow them. They taking the lure very agressive and lots of head shakes etc, brilliant sport on light gear.


The way i was follow the sole notice they quiet like the grund under the boats, the weed is mostly only at the bottom and the water is abaut medium deep like 1~1,5m deep, witch is ideal place for them to take cover from the bigger predators such as pike. Because of the clear conditions in the water they looks more interested from the flashes witch comes from the blade of the thiny Meps. Also was succes to fish with small plastic lures with pedal tail and small jigheads, often people say use bright colours, for soft plastic i still prefer natural colours and the vibration of the tail. Small weedless Black Minnow allows you to fish deeper on the ground to discover them between weeds, siply cant resist.


Usually dont need to use wire trace for perch, firstable is change the way your lure  action in the water, and perch has no teeths to bite tough on the mon line or braid, but and there is a big but, witch is happen to me when i was messing with them under the boats, i hooked a wee perch and when try to landed has another bite end of my line, about 15lber pike decided to take my hooked perch, i was lucky enaugh to manage the fight for pretty lon because i had  small wire trace on, but my small jigged single hook after the forth run just cant keep up, witch is understable hahaha but i was soo close to land my personal best pike indeed fight on light gear. However trace or not its your choice, but perch isnt really fancy and if you have a pike attack on give you a bit of chance to land it safely both. End of the day i still had a good fun but had to say Gina 0 pike 1, next time maybe will meet again.
