Daniel Woolcott has a soft-spot for big perch, as do most! In this video Dan fishes a range of venues with a range of techniques, until he eventually ends up holding a true specimen!
oap here x match angler and have fished that peg on medley a fair few times over the years and caught all sorts off it.never seen a perch like that come from that area before but bought back some memmories of times gone by for me and well done on the catch
Really enjoy how Daniel goes about his business. As well as a very humble man, refreshing in this day and age. As usual great video by drennan fab editing.
I can totally empathise with that pre-bite story! I also use a paternoster rig for my live baiting and I use small loafer myself, but let it sit flat on the surface. It means it doesnt take much to see some movement from the livebait, a little shart nudge causes a ripple. And then when it stands up you know you're close. When it dips hard that's your take. Mekes me excited just thinking about it!
Love that bobbing of the float when live baiting. I imagine the baitfish doesn't quite feel the same as I do, though, as it's anchored, unable to escape the approaching Pike or Perch!! 🤔😂
I recognise that large still water. I keep wanting to target the carp but never quite get the time needed these days but like the look of the south. I'll say hello next time I do a lap. Good luck 😎
At 2.19 i would have been very tempted to use that little guy as livebait might of done a better fish as we know they like smallee versions of themselfs
I have been calling for Drennan to make a Perch Fishing video with bait and bobbers for ages and we are just starting to see a few now, I would like to see more bait fishing perch videos for sure... I enjoyed this... gotta love an andrew feilds bobber, I used my my own too!
i’ve only just come across your videos and i must say they’re really good 🙂,tight lines man PS i 🤔/know the reason why your ❤ flutters when you see a BIG 😳 perch in your 30/40/50s is it brings back that boyhood feeling of WOW look at that with a 10/12oz perch 🙂,i’ve mainly been a carp angler for 25+ years but recently i’ve started being an all rounder again,to the point of having to buy new kit lol and get the rust out 😁,happy days,also i’ll be off fly 🎣 fairly soon also🙂,something i haven’t done for 35 years 😁.
during my match angling days i once saw a winter league won on medley 7 or 8 pegs down from where you were with 51lb and the first 3 in the net went almost 20lb and all the decent ones were all spewing out munched up crayfish
Always look forward to a new Drennam upload and wasn’t disappointed and made me feel better when a great angler blanks just goes to show we are all human 👍 and wow what a fish sadly the good weather we all need seems many months away
