There are few more striking fish than a big perch and here Steve, who has banked fish above 5lb, and fellow Midlands big fish angler Stewart Bloor set about showing how to go about targeting a specimen. For this session they are fishing a picture postcard day ticket stillwater with float tactics, using live and dead maggots.
Learn about the importance of light values, find out about tackle for big perch, how to feed dead maggots to get the fish interested and how to hook lobworm, as the boys pass on lots of tips and land a string of stunning perch over 2lb.
