Guest
cause you have to hit em early i i think there carp so i let them take it down and the perch get deep hooked

I can honestly say i have never come across perch deep hooking on Luncheon meat.....but hit them ALL early, if a perch can get it in i'm sure a carp would!!! and if the carp are small you are missing one hell of a fishing opportunity with 3lb perch about.....there will be plenty of carp about.....the perch may dissapear......sorry mate but thats how i see it.

Nicky,
In my opinion deadbait or half deadbaits work very well for Perch in coloured water, so can lob worms but you may get "pestered" by carp.....the rig is simple a size six or four hook liphooking a VERY FRESH small roach deadbait on you normal running ledger rig (use a heavyish lead (2oz) so it stays put).....a butt indicator with a drop of 12-18 inches and hit them straight away!! good luck.....and let us know how you get on......bytheway what part of the country you from?

Nicky,
Don't be offended but a 3lb perch is a very big fish, treat yourself to some scales and weigh them rather than say "it was about 3lb".....that said if the water has plenty of small silver fish it sounds like the type to produce a big perch.
Back to the match!!!!!!!

Nicky,
Moved on a little since the "what size meat" haven't we !.......a butt indicator can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it.....silver paper, breadpaste, tops from washing up liquid etc can all be used and are free!!........all it takes is a little initative.
We are gonna upset the carp lads....all this perch talk on their section!!

I think all the big perch, apart from the Ouse monsters, come from carp waters.
This also extends to most other coarse species, other than pike.

It proves that engineered baits are more beneficial than souring crumb and other less nutitional food stuffs.
