Fancied a perch or two but as I went to find the spool of Bayer to load up the whip to catch the bait it wasn't in my bag. I did have some small sardines from LIDL though, just a step up from whitebait
size ( and very good on the barbie).
First drop in and the float had hardly settled when it started to bob. I wound down and a perch yes a perch zipped into the margin and scooted off before shedding the 1/0 Aberdeen. A swim later and the float moved off far more purposefully and this little feller saved the day. It's not a red eyed pike, it's the setting sun reflected.

Though I almost exclusively fish the fly, it is undeniably fun to watch a float march off as a fish takes the bait with purpose. If that doesn't make you excited you just aren't a fisherman!
ReplyDeleteMost definitlely/.An perch do bob, bob, bob. If they are real hungry though with a livebait the float just disapears with an audible plop
