Your best method PERCH

what method would you do in december for perch in a pond

i normaly use a rod with some line and a nice big worm

get near to the snags with some fairly strong line (remember perch can be very strong) and i normally fish a nice juicy lobworm head over a bed of maggots and casters

i always use maggot or worm
if the worm is too long ie lobworm u can cut it in half

look for the silver fish jumping outta the water can be a good sign for perch moving into a swim or when the roach stop feeding on your bait

perch are the best

December time is a tricky time for fishing, but perch are on of the best fish to catch at that time (along with pike of course).

I tend to go for the worm option as well, you need to get the bait right in front of the fish at this time of the year because they are much less inclined to swim around for it.

I had some great perch days in the summer with a small live bait, very small. It was down by the Beford river/lakes. It looks like a long way till summer now..

I Have a Small Pond Neer To Wear I Live It Is Only About 2.5 FT Deep Has A Inlet And Outlet Of Warter There Is Very Pig Perch In There And Some Jack Pike Ive Had A 2.LB Perch Out Of It But I'm Certian There Is Bigger One's

What Is My Best Mettod To Get The Big Perch ??

Eney Suggestions ??

-Live bait with small roach, dace and minnows-

-Smallest trebble hooks you got hook the livebait through the back or lip-

-As perch are tackle scared its advised you dont use a wire trace-

-I find hooking through the back more effective as it seems "unatural"
pike tend to leave this bait however it dosnt bother perch-

-In the winter perch are less active and some times ignore live bait
in this case use lob worms-
(I find fishing close to the bottom or ledgering more effective)
-"Maggot feeders" are another alternative red and white work best-
