Urban perch fishing

After raining all morning today this afternoon
the sun came out  so me and Cole headed
to the canal but not to our normal places we were going
more urban.

We started off near the Etihad Stadium and we planned
to end up in Ancoats marina. With in around 3 minutes
of fishing Cole caught his first perch of the afternoon



Then his second and so on    









Cole was hammering the perch while I was trying for a pike (trying being the word because I didn't bloody catch one)  





For the last hour or two we didn't catch anything but the water ways wasn't the best  



Once we got to Ancoats marina it was totally different because the water was clean
and you could see the bottom but all we see was roach in there    they must be
a pike or two in there we'll be back to see if we can catch one.  





We had a great few hours

Well done Cole good try Stevo
Some great paintwork on that building

I wish I could swear!

Nice one you guys,I wouldn't chance it down there without a Kevlar vest
Had a few casts on the marina near me,I've had a baitcasting reel for about 3 yrs that I hadn't tried.
Watched vids on how to set the reel and the magnetic centrifugal drag,Had a few casts with a jelly minnow on,
Couldn't get the hang of it.After a few casts and birds nest I gave up on it.
I think I will just use the reel for dropping down off the side of the boat

Well done COLE . Glad to see you can still teach your dad how to catch
Nice pics/report coles apprentice

Thanks chaps it get's him of his xbox and when he catches
its great seeing the joy even with those small perch

Looking at Cole's hoodie I think he might have hand painted the graffiti!

Clearly a dab hand on the Perch too!

Well done Steve on a good report and a nice set of pictures. A clip round the ear and a boot up the back side might make him think twice about showing you up Steve, or you could just leave him at home and blank on your own.
