Specimen perch

Who’s had any nice stripies I’ll start 

[The Fishlocker 201]

I’m jealous. There aren’t many spots round my way that hold decent stripeys. I’m hoping to get myself a specimen this year. Do you find livebaits work best or what?

Nice fish, looking at the rubbish in that lake, that could easily be a place I call to now and then in Scarbrough

Nice fish! I recognise where you are and used to night fish there years ago. Good luck with your quest for a big stripey.

Now you guys. Sorry to piss on your chips. Anyone on here who knows Stoney Cove dive centre in Leicestershire knows full well that that, not only are there record perch but also some huge pike. Because there is no fishing allowed, these things have gone to huge sizes. I've dived there for years and met these guys full on and believe me , they are big. Bet the British record is in there.

Think that's the one they let Matt Hayes fish and he had something daft like a dozen 3lbers and two 4lbers in a day or two.

It was on one of his series a couple years back.

If it’s not to far to travel the Cotswolds water park is rich with big perch due to the signal crayfish that abound, I know of one pit that’s being kept very quiet that has done several fish over the British record
