The big perch just keep on coming
Nathan Phillips fished White Springs Fishery to land this 4lb 2oz perch.
The incredible run of big winter perch continued this week with a number of huge specimens banked.
Welshman Nathan Phillips achieved a lifetime dream when he netted a 4lb 2oz specimen from White Springs Fishery in South Wales.
The Cardiff angler tempted his prize using a whole prawn hookbait on a float rig fished in the margins of the venue’s Old Canal Pool.
Meanwhile, friends Chris Lambert and Adam Moxey enjoyed a session to remember on Devon’s Upper Tamar Lake when they boated no fewer than four stripeys over 3lb, including a 4lb stunner.

Monster perch from underfished canal stretch
Targeting overhanging vegetation on his local section of canal worked a treat for Matthew Perring when he netted this 3lb 3oz perch.
The Banbury based, Marukyu and Deeper sponsored angler roved a relatively under-fished section of the Oxford Canal using white coloured, three inch Ecogear Bug Ant lures.
In just a few hours he had netted a total of six perch and one zander including a 2lb 6oz stripey. All the fish were caught using a 3-12gram Tronix Rockfish Pro jig rod with 10lb braided mainline and 8lb Berkley flourocarbon hooklink and a size two, five gram jig head.
