We all wondered how to catch more perch. I myself learned a lot about perch fishing from Cristi Anghelina which we asked him to give us an ABC guide from his experience.
The goal of any fisherman in this world is to catch either as much or as large as possible.
When you participate in a competition, you want to get the best result, so you are obliged to do that, you have to be as efficient as possible. The experiences lived during the trainings, but especially of the competitions dedicated to the perch, showed me that there are situations in which its capture becomes extremely difficult. Some probably won't believe it when I tell them I ran for three hours to catch a perch. And I can say that I was lucky to catch that one too. There are others who did this during an entire contest, ie 7-8 hours, and failed.
How to catch more perch
The general perception among fishermen about the perch is that it can be caught quite easily, that it is a rather "stupid" fish, which attacks everything that passes before its eyes and that it does not need who knows what science as to catch him. As a result, few people pay too much attention to the "tools" and fishing techniques of the perch.
Adequate equipment
Being a small fish in general, it is advisable to use rods of the light, ultra light class, with throwing powers between 1 and 7 grams, matched with reels size 1000–1500 and textile or mono yarn as fine as possible, 3 kg in the case of multifilament and 0.135-0.155 fluorescent monofilament.
Location
Visible or "invisible" structures: sunken trees, sills, stones, plateaus, plateaus, watercourses, bridge legs, coccioc, grass. You often locate the perch by visible attacks on the surface of the water; it should be insisted in areas where fish are seen jumping or walking on the banks. In the summer, in the early hours, along the shores, in shallow water with vegetation. Then they retreat to deeper water. The same thing happens with water cooling.
nadir
It is important that, after locating them, you keep their interest, you keep them together. Go from wobbler or cicada to jig or vice versa, change the color, the size of the lure, the recovery style or the type of lure.
Perch fishing technique
Fishing technique must be as active as possible. Given the fact that perch always walk to find prey, we must look for them, always pay attention to the signals that their presence gives. It often happens that after you catch a perch, another three or four of them follow it desperately to the boat. The next launch should be short, under the boat or a few meters away, in the area where the pursuers disappeared. Not infrequently I caught perch right under the boat or in the middle of the lake, around a plaur or a tree.
TIPS
- Fish in areas where there are changes in water temperature, indicated by sonar or areas with less water, plauri, reed.
- In the absence of sonar, start probing the bottom with a heavier jig, then, after identifying an area that promises, fish on the train until you have an attack, then insist on that place.
- Use colored jigs - white, black, red, neon yellow, pink - make a difference in certain situations.
- Very important are the eyes applied on the jig, cicada, dandineta or those on the volbere, being well known the appetite of the perch for the eye of "perch".
- You always have two mounts ready: one with monofilament and another with multifilament. If you have only one rod, make sure you have at least one spare drum.
Equipment
Sonar: used mainly for boat fishing, helps to identify submerged structures; the more efficient it is, the greater the quantity and quality of information received, as a result of the time spent fishing.
Rod: light-ultra light, throwing power 1–7 grams, fast (jigs) or medium-fast for reactive lures (vobler, spinnerbait, rattlin), 1.80–2 m, carbon.
Reel: size 1000–1500, as light as possible and suitable for the rod.
Fire: 0.10–0.16 mono, fluoro or normal, fluorocarbon; multifilament 1–3 kg.
Ghosts: the perch have a small mouth, so the lures must be small, between 2 and 6 cm; plastics, spinnerbait, cicadas, teaspoons, surface wobblers, floating, sinking, suspending.
ghost
It should be noted that perch prefer lures in as vivid colors as possible, chartreuse, neon yellow or neon pink, combinations of two or three colors. Natural colors should not be neglected, especially in spring and late autumn (pumpkin with all kinds of inserts, black, red, green glitter).
6 tips for large perch
Definition: big perch = jumped by kil. In my life as a fisherman I have met such perches several times. I caught big perch fishing for bass - with rattlin, pike - with spoon, pikeperch - with twisters of 7cm or bigger, clean - with suitable wobblers, of course, or simply chasing "common" perch - with twisters or cicadas . I have never dedicated a game exclusively to big perch fishing, each time capturing such "breaths" was more of a coincidence.
1. It is very rare to catch more than two from the same place; this tells me that big perch tend to live alone, or in pairs, so if you come across them and catch one or two, you'd better look for another place in the area than waste your time;
2. If you caught one you have a good chance of catching his pair, if he has one, in the next 5-6 throws;
3. Each time I caught them fishing in the herd of perch, but at a slightly greater depth, on the bottom of the water or nearby, obligatorily with some structures in the area;
4. They usually attack near the structure, which tells me that they do not tend to move too much in pursuit of the lure as smaller perch do;
5. If I know that there is perch in the area, I find some structure and get rid of the flock, I would fish a little slower, more insistently, more carefully.
6. Recommended equipment: mono yellow thread - maximum 0.16 to the detriment of the multifilament; lures: simple, common plastics for perch, shad and grub (3-5 cm), with the mention that I would try some more special gums, used more in bass fishing, such as crayfish and worms; preferred color: motoroil.
Fishing is a beautiful game, especially when you take it seriously. Fisherman's child, fisherman's father, fisherman's friend, storyteller, traveler, nature lover, dreamer in this wonderful world of fishing. Be it spoken, written, photo, video or online.
