"Some of the best river perch fishing I've ever had" - Brad Pearson

“My mum bought me some Korum Squirmz lures for my birthday, so I got up early one morning and went over to the Great Ouse to try them out.

“I headed to a spot where I’d caught them from before, and over the next few hours I experienced probably the best perch fishing I’ve ever had! On my first cast into a deep channel I had a perch of around 8oz, and they just kept getting bigger. 

“I quickly had five two-pounders, followed by the two ‘threes’, which really made me panic and reach for the net when I saw them in the clear water! 

“After 30 minutes I’d lost count of how many I’d had but the total weight must have been well over 20lb.”
