Damien Culliney of Anglers Paradise Guiding reports on a great day of perch fishing in miserable conditions for a birthday boy Riain…
Had young Rìain and Gearoid out for a days fishing with their Dad. It was Rìain’s 10th birthday and he was mad to go fishing. He is a very keen and enthusiastic about fishing. I asked what his goal was for the day. He said he wanted to catch big perch.
On the same day the conditions did not look great with south east winds blowing and rain, not ideal, but young Riain persisted, cast after cast. His efforts were rewarded with some lovely perch averaging 35 cm. As he fished on the perch just got bigger and better with his top 3 fish measuring 39cm, 40 cm and a fantastic new P.B. of 42 cm for a up and coming angler of the future
Well done lads some great fishing!
Go fishing…
