pigeon controller Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well done brilliant fish. I used to go to the Fens to fish for them but now fish the Grand Union my target is a double but I've only had them to 8lb 12 oz twice different fish. Might have a go at the Severn at Severn Stoke bank fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) You would need some chips with that They are nice fish to eat...I was given some a couple of years back around the 3lb mark..electro fished from a small tributary of the Severn... That is an absolutely stonking fish.. I've caught a few on the Sharpness canal but nothing anywhere near that size..

JDog Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 That's a corker. I have never even seen a Pike/Perch to give it it's common name when it was first introduced. I note that you have permanent camouflage inked onto your skin. Do you think that this is a help in the fishing/shooting fields? If it is I may get some.

fenboy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 BAIT....... ? my friends, i used half a roach (tail half) threaded onto a size 2 starpoint hook, fished close to bank in a deep channel about 15/20 ft out. I had great success fishing a hair rigged roach deadbait that had the head / tail cut off and scales scrapped with the body pierced several times . This was used mainly in the winter During the warmer months eel section was by far the best bait . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
