Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

Popped out at dawn with Rob.

He caught, I didn't.  But in reality catching Bass on lures on days when you have to scrape the ice off your car before leaving the house is a triumph of hope over experience..

[Giles]

That's me, not catching

It's undoubtedly been said before, but should be repeated:

A bad day at fishing is better than a good day at work, any day !

Caught 5 today. This was the average size about 15”. Got a nice 20” fish in the dark but no
Pics. Only a couple days of fishing left.

Night shift

[Giles]

Well done Matty.

I have just bought the wherewithal to target Perch.

This is now my winter challenge….

[Matty123]

Thanks G. What type of perch do you guys target over there?

[Giles]

[Matty123]

Nice we have a type of those here as well red perch I think they’re called

[Giles]

I think I am in so much shit.  Researching what I could do over the winter when lure fishing for Bass is a forlorn hope, I can across another Japanese invented system called BFS - Bait Finesse System. It is basically casting ultra-light lures (between 1 and 7 gm), with very specific rods and reels…...

Will be targeting Perch, Pike and Zander over the winter (if I buy the required kit  :-X)

[Giles]

@jordanscollected - You should look into BFS ^, I think it would have some great applications in the waters you fish…

[jordanscollected]

That will be some great winter reading and research. thanks for forwarding @Giles. My nephew fell in love with fishing this past summer and it's all he thinks about all day. I need to stay fresh and try new things or he will be taking me fishing before i know it. I appreciate the motivation.

[Giles]

It is used in US for Bass.  Developed in Japan for really finicky fish in hard fished waters….

[Matty123]

That sounds awesome.

[Giles]

@jordanscollected and @Matty123 My first drop-shot rig…..

[Matty123]

That’s a nice perch pattern

[Giles]

If it catches me a Perch, it's a nice Perch pattern.  If it doesn't, it's fucking crap….

[Matty123]

I meant it Looks like a perch!
