![]() Let me know if you are in the ruamahunga area again and I will see if I can get out for a fish with you, I have always enjoyed catching perch, that's what I grew up catching in Australia. Regards, Cohen |

![]() 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 ![]() |
