GRAFHAM Water has undoubtedly been England’s stand-out perch venue so far this season, and Karl Bird became the latest angler to make the most of its scintillating form when he caught this fine 4lb 9oz fish last week.
Karl, from Buckinghamshire, caught his new personal best using a soft plastic lure fished on a jighead in over 15ft of water, and added another fine stripey weighing 4lb 4oz in the same session afloat. Karl’s boat partner for the day, Sean Corbett, was on hand to help with the pictures.
The lure fishing season at Grafham Water is due to come to an end on January 31, so there’s just enough time remaining for the Cambridgeshire venue to reveal yet more of its monster perch!
