You guys are by far the best tutorial site on here! I'm exclusively a pike guy, but want to branch out. One video and i'm confident to target perch and not blank. Thank You!

I’ve always done trout and bass fishing but you really got me into carp fishing they’re some of the hardest fighting fish ever I’ve only gone 5 times but my biggest is 8.5 pounds but without your help I probably would’ve never gotten one love your tutorials keep up the good work!.

Hey just wondering when can you do another quest for monsters I really enjoyed it

Great tuition. The young teaching me the old. Magnificent

Cant wait to get out perch fishing in the next couple of weeks, cant dislike a big perch

An excellent tutorial I can not wait to put these tips in too practice just brought a prism x 5-21g lure set up its tip is super responsive so should be excellent for both dropshot and soft plastic retrieval thanks lads 😀👍👍😉

Excellent as always... you did the right thing quitting your Jobs, even if they were "in the fishing-business"...

Glad you’ve brought this video out, thanks Lads

Great video, I've just got a Fox rage warrior dropshot and jig 7' rod. You have given me some great tips for my first trip to the lake.

Top video Been waiting for this off the charlies next week and I can’t wait👍🏻🎣

Great instructional video, who says you can’t teach an old angler new tricks, thanks👍

Thanks lads. The drop shotting now makes sense.

Love your vids I’m just getting in to perch fishing thnx

Hi chaps loving these vids what sort of rod would I need to try drop shotting please?

I still find these videos so useful and end up sharing them a lot, cheers E

Really useful. I’ve not fished in years and I live near Manchester City centre so the canals are the only thing easily accessible to me. Can’t wait to try drop shot for the first time, I’ve only ever done float previously.

This Is just what I needed. Fantastic.

Berkeley worm threader is great for getting more of your bait/lure onto the hook, and even line, to reduce stolen bait

Great tutorial guys especially the alternative to the Palermo knot 👍

Really appreciated the video guys, thank you so much.👍👍👍

Best angling video enjoyed ❤❤❤ Informative as well😊😊😊

Thank you Carl & Alex

Thank you so much, in fact I literally went perch fishing just after you uploaded the video so I finally caught one. They were only 3 pounders but and 4 but still you have taught me to be able to catch one, thank you so much and have a great day.

Love perch fishing.

Amazing video, learned a lot! Any specific tips for perch fishing in winter with lots of branches on the bottom?

Cracking vid again guys look forward to the next one

Great vid. Keep it up guys!

Another top video guys ..... brilliant fishing and some lovely fish and well illustrated to ... ideal for me as learning all the time ... anyways I’m in search of some stripeys tomorrow ... in fact if catch just one I will be well chuffed as I’m going somewhere I’ve never been to ... the Lake District !! ... wellies and thermals at the ready 😀😀🎣🎣

Brilliant video lads.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing this nice fishing.

Great video guys well explained thanks

Just started fishing again since my childhood and I'd like to know how to determine where and how to find the surest perch spots. Haven't caught single one this season which makes me a bit sad since perch is supposed to be the most common species around where I live. Any tips on that? And other species as well for that matter. Boat would probably be great to reach more spots, sadly I don't have one, at least yet. Also, great video! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Hi great video just couple questions 1 can you use same rod for drop shot and jig fishing ? And 2 for fishing venues similar to where you did and with chance of hooking pike to low doubles what kind of casting weight am I looking for in a rod please? Thanks

Great video. I'm interested in trying dropshotting, but the lakes I fish have plenty of pike. Should I still use fluro? Is it possible to make a dropshot rig using wire?

This helped so much and i have a wuestion that is probably bot gonna be answered but whats the rod and casting weight that alex was using looks cool thanks 👍

Good stuff lads, love ya fish tank

Great video, really enjoyed it!

Very well made!

You need to do a colab with Blacktiph!! The scenes

Best dropshot knot 👍🏻

Wow, what a perch!!

Just what I needed

If yous are ever in York, in the town centre area some big perch in the river ouse there used to fish there as a kid and caught them to over 3lb

Great video again but what rods and reels were you using if you don’t mind me asking

Lovely video guys 👍

Hey, any chance you can show the knot you used for the dropshot rig on your knots playlist as it's own video? Too difficult to see the fluro to be able to figure it out fro. This video. Excellent work though, keep it up!

So the word you where looking for that didn't begin with S was slow lol great work ☺

Hawr u, my cantree Bangladesh, good fishing. thanks

Thanks gents, really useful info and well presented :-)

Great perch vid. Could you please tell me what rod reel and braid 1b your using please just starting out. Thanks guys👍🏻

Love the vids mate

Awesome video bud

Hey man great video. What's the story with drop shotting with a wire trace? Have pike and perch in lake nearby.

It is indeed a Nice content!! Keep Continue!!

Great video lads . Struggling tho just started going for pike on canals watched all videos any other must does using lures . And where's that merch

Palomar knot is the correct knot for the drop shot rig very easy as well ...dont know what you used but it wasn't very easy

You've done well to make that place not look like a shit hole, fair play lads

Fair one lads. Cheers for the help. Like and subbed

Great video, greetings from Germany🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪👍

can you make a zander video?

Great vid. Love watching them. But what rods do u use for ur light set up .

What kind of landing net is that? I’m looking for a smaller one like that. Great job on the video once again, here in the states some of us use crayfish or small salad shrimp from the grocery store for perch.

Those small perch armys we call them tusenbröder basically means thousand brothers

good stuff!

Great video keep it up

i used glue on my paddle tale and it made the eye fall of and when i casted and brought it back my pike had riped the hook so it was bearly useable any tips?

Your red perch strategies do work on our yellow perch but live bait and fresh shrimp pieces on jigs work best. There isn't a perch family species, walleye, perch, Zander, sauger, that don't taste amazing.

love the hair xD

Great video! Is it possible to set up a drop shot with a trace? My local club requires traces on all perch rigs

Do you have any tips on fishing the float for perch and how deep do i fish

Great vid guys i was waiting for a perch video

Hi guys, please help me. I tried drop shotting and like you say, it was incredible for Perch! My problem is that I get a lot of deep/gut hooked results. Can I still use a disgorger to unhook in this instance or will the softbait get in the way? Also, to clarify, it's cast and retrieve like a spinner but slow? A little retrieve to remove slack, a little wiggle, a little retrieve, a little wiggle? I'm not sure if I'm just lucky or if I have good technique... Thanks!

I am very curious to know if that is a different sub species of yellow perch that is found in North America. The world record Yellow Perch is 4LB 12ozs caught in 1924 in New York. I personally have caught 2 lbers here in Michigan but they are rare. A 13"-16" 1.5-2.5 lb is considered a big perch. There are a few western lakes like Devil's lake N.D that produce 3-3.5 lbers regularly. That lake has a huge forage base of fresh water shrimp and minnows as well. I have seen videos of 7 lb perch caught overseas. I would appreciate if you could give any info on this matter.

Would you do the same for chub?

Great video, I’ve noticed in the uk canals these days I’m only catching very small perch, as of 10 years ago I used to catch ones much bigger, is this down to cormorants you think? 🧐

I love it

Can you catch many perch while drop shotting in rivers in Autumn ?

Perch

What casting weight is ur rods for perch fisbing and also what action is the rods?

Where do u get ur soft plastic lure from for perch ?

Good videooo

Are perch easy to catch in winter?

What size rod length are you using chaps?

Hi do you have to flatten the dorsal Finn when handling perch?

caught my first fish on a drop shot rig, and that fish was a perch 💪

Which westin rod do you use?

Is this in ashford

Am it would be nice if you came to Ireland

What the name of the knot for the drop shot rig?

Am I going mad or have you guys removed your camera equipment list 🤔 my question was, what drone do you guys use, picture quality is superb, contributing to the already great content 🙌🏼

so the dropshot is only pinched in ? no knot at all ?

what lures are those in the video

15:11 its out.

Ace

What type of knot is that @ 13:00 ?

look at the size of the place,and that abandoned caravan really sets the place off...heard some horror stories from here

Wow ❤️❤️❤️

Or just buy 1mm thick fluorcarbon so you can use them for all predator fishing except catfish

My problem with perch is that many times they get deep hook the lure . Any tips to combat this?
