Tips on lure fishing shallow water and do I use the perch or the pike for the lead image?

The place I fished is very shallow and perhaps, because of that, not somewhere that many anglers would target.

It’s easy to wonder if there are fish in a particular place but ultimately the only way to really find out is to give it a go.

With the water being shallow, my mini-jigging approach reflected that.

There’s more in the video but I fished with a light jig-head (0.7g), held the rod high and kept the lure off the bottom.

  1. Excellent, sounds great.
    I like autumn holidays, they’re cheaper, less busy and you still get nice weather.
    Enjoy!

  2. Yep, the mix on ‘lead’ was good…
    My personal ‘favourite predator’ is pike but not a lot between that and the good old sergeant at arms!

    1. I had to think then because I was thinking lead as in weight rather than leading!
      I’ll be doing plenty of dead-baiting from Saturday onwards.
      Looking forward to it actually.
      A change is as good as a rest!
      Tight lines, Steve.

      1. And you!
        No fishing for me until 10/10 though as going away then and need to prep for that.
        However, 10/10 arrive at a holiday site with 2 large fishing lakes for a week 😃🥰😊 but, due to limitations to loading car, no pike tackle can be taken so will be targeting bream. Pike will be on the menu on our return though!! 😃
        Tight lines…
