I’m a Brit who lives overseas and I miss specimen hunting for big perch so much, so I’d say keep going until you get that pb! Maybe have one rod out with a bait and spin with the other?
I haven't been out much this year but I've absolutely tanked when I did. I've never gone for perch with prawns so will have a try before the end of the season. Great stuff 👍
Lovely video, go on have another session there ! I must admit I would never have considered using bite alarms for Perch, always been eyes glued to the tip and strike the bend. ATB MMMD
I thought that ,EYES ROLL , I bet so called specimen anglers with all the gear kill more fish than otters , seen it loads of times with barbel total idiots.
Nice fish but nothing to get really excited about, I think that all commercial fisheries hold big perch, their eggs are brought there by birds. I've got a shoal of them in my pond that got there that way. From my local water I've had perch to 3•5lbs on prawns but my technique is much more basic than yours. I thred the prawn on the hook lengthwise with the end going up the line, they can't get it off without being hooked. Also as a prawn is quite heavy I never have any weights on the line except in extreme conditions when I just use one split shot. Like you I find carp a nuisance and big roach and rudd also like them but I don't mind catching a 2lb roach!
