With the onset of autumn, the Perch on our rivers become a viable target and it was with this in mind that Scott and I headed up to the River Thames last weekend for a bit of fishing. We had all the camping gear and fishing tackle necessary to spend a couple of days on the river and we were very fortunate in that Rhys had loaned us his boat as well - " Clive the Third "
The plan was to catch small bleak and roach for live bait and to then head off up the river fishing our baits under floats in all the perchy looking spots....of which there are many to choose from on the Thames!
In short, the fishing was pretty good and we managed to contact some terrific Perch and a couple of small pike too. The weekend was a resounding success and it was great to just be on the river and sleep under the stars. I'll let the video do the talking.........TIGHT LINES!
