Info on fishing for perch in small lakes

People always asked me for info on fishing for perch in small lakes. Depending on the size of the lakes you are fishing in small lakes can be better for perch sometimes than large lakes are. Fishing for perch in small lakes is easier because you don’t have as much structure to cover and the perch are easier to find.

If you’re new to fishing for perch the best thing you can do is ask at the bait shop where the perch are biting and what the perch are biting on. They should be able to tell you exactly where to go to catch perch in smaller lakes. They pretty much hold in the same spots on smaller lakes where in big lakes they may travel around a lot more.

Like a lot of keen carp anglers I fish throughout the fishing season as much in winter as I do in the summer months, it was during one frustrating fishing session that I came up with this rig by pure chance last winter. Catch carp on maggots wasn’t something I’d thought of before this.

After an hour or so walking around the lake, I managed to find the carp, got set up found some likely areas to place baits, once baits were cast out and freebies scatted in the same area, all that was left was to have a fresh brew and soak up the early morning winter sun. During the course of the morning I had carp activity in the spots that I was fishing, but to no avail the carp were not having it, the bait I was using was a proven home made boilie mix that always worked well for me in the winter months.
