Just seen this thread.

I used to go lake fishing in Ireland at uncles place. I was from the UK - only knew how to bait fish with worms. Caught numerous to 3 1/2 lb and we ate them...better than trout!

Recently I've been out perch fishing at Hamilton Lake with a mate who has pancreatic cancer. Spinning is great for him as he can have a fish and sit down on the benches for a rest.
We have caught lots on a mix of lures: Rapalas, veltics, black toby and Storm soft plastics. I clip off the underside trebles and catch them on the in-body top hook.
The trout colours work well but the rainbow seems better.
We haven't caught any big ones but we do find it very relaxing and my mate loves it - very therapeutic, indeed. We get loads of people stopping to chat and ask lots of questions.
Loads of Pokemon hunters at the moment!!
This was last Wednesday

 

Well that's because they love to gorge on trout fry if there's a chance.]]> Mon, 30 Oct 2023 22:01:27 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41661&PID=1835324&title=big-perch#1835324 <![CDATA[Big Perch : That&#039;s a nice Perch👍 ...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41661&PID=1832259&title=big-perch#1832259 Author: Fishb8

Did you bring a 30cm ruler? And where did you catch it?
As a matter of fact, I caught a 32cm perch at Sylvan park on a paddle tail softbait.

Now that's what I call big!

Perch in the river?
Went to Wairarapa recently and spent a few days in Martinborough and drove to the river and watched a couple of people fishing.

Hi Makka

Thanks. No ugly duckling online for three years. Sad. But I am happy with any help from Kiwi perch enthousiast. We just had a very good Thai curry with the Ruamanga perch out of the motorhomes freezer.  It's a pitty that not many Kiwis appreciate that good fish out of good waters. Like the Rotsee in Switzerland. To get real big ones there is quite difficult, but the small ones are a delicacy too and cost a lot in a Swiss restaurant.
We are heading to lake Dunsten near Cromwell the next few days.
