Hello All

I have just joined the forum after watching the YouTube videos for a few years now.

Here in the U.K we do not have LMB but we do have big Perch up to 6lb ( a fish of dreams), large Pike and Zander ( Walleye) to 20lb.

I do a lot of Perch fishing using what you would call finesse LMB tactics such as small jigs and drop shot.

I do come over to U.S.A for the flyfishing for the trout and also Bass fishing but there is also Black Bass in Europe which is their name for LMB and I go looking for those when I get a chance.

Looking forward to hearing from fellow anglers across the pond and learning new fishing tricks

Welcome aboard, Peter! Nice to have you here  

 

Are you a long-pole fisherman, or do you prefer spinning gear?

Thanks You for the warm welcome.

To answer Darren's question, I tend to fish baitcasters and rods between six and seven foot for the Perch. Pike and Zander call for longer and heavier gear.

My best Perch is 4 lb plus, Pike 26lb and Zander around 12lb there are not many Zander in my part of the U.K as it is classed as an invasive species.

I have fished in New England, Vermont and Florida for LMB and my biggest to date is about five pounds.
My biggest Black Bass in Italy was about 2lb.

All great fun.

Welcome

Howdy Peter from Louisiana, USA and welcome to our fishing family! ?

Welcome!

Welcome. My sister and brother in law live in London. I can't imagine big walleye being considered invasive.

Welcome. My great grandfather was from Oxford, I believe. Traveled all over North America then settled in Florida. Quite a far piece from Oxford.

Hi. Its a good eight hour flight from the U.K, we have been to Florida a few times and like the area around Lauderdale By The Sea.

The pound to dollar exchange rate at the moment means its a bit pricey for us at the moment.

Walleye or what we call Zander come from Europe and I think they were stocked illegally into various water and have spread across the country.

Have a look at Anglian Water Grafham reservoir were the next record fish will come from but VERY hard to catch.
