🎣 No Halloween fishing nightmare: Catching perch on the drop on the last day of October
I didn’t get home from Flint until the early hours of the morning, never mind going to bed.
However, a few hours later I was up boiling the kettle to make a flask of tea, loading the car and I was soon on my way to go fishing.
It is nice to get my boot back and I took advantage of the full access that I now have by going float fishing for perch.
I had a few lost fish due to hook pulls and then I noticed, as I threw loose prawns out, that there were perch high in the water taking them just inches beneath the surface.
What I did was to remove the anchor shot, so that my hook bait fell naturally in the water itself.
It worked.
Catching perch on the drop on the last day of October. Not bad, eh!
