Fishing isn't about the size of the fish you catch. It's about the size of the smile it brings you while you're doing it!

Love the enthusiasm, this is what fishing is all about. It's not neccesarily about the biggest fish, or the most fish, but the joy of enjoying the the beautiful outdoors. Catching a few fish doesn't hurt! ;) Subbed, love the channel

Great video mate, grats on the perch! Amazing fish when they get big! We do love an abandoned lake aye!

Great vid mate and lovely spot, congrats on the big'un! Also great to see someone having so much fun catching the smaller fish too, rare to see!

Beautiful spot mate. Lovely stuff and that was a cracking fish. I'd be a little bit more careful with tossing those small fish into water that shallow with a rocky bottom though.

Now THIS is my kinda fishing …. Stripey fishing of all sizes and from an old quarry lake too ,,… cracking spot and another banger of a video George …. Just catching up on watching some videos as been busy with one thing or another and just want say it’s made my Sunday evening watching these …. Love em …… all the best my lad 😁👍🎣

What a spot that is George! the quarry was absolutely teaming with life not just fish but tadpoles too! Cant go wrong with fishing a natural venue you never know what you'll catch (Roach on lure 🤣). Awesome video mate! 😊

Beautiful spot George,and what a Perch,a fish of a lifetime mate 🦈🦈

Just found the channel and my first watch. Great vid and what a setting. With that track down I bet it’s rarely fished too. Subbed and will watch more

Wow, that place is magical and the perch are just beautiful. So important to let the bigger ones go for good genetics. Well done mate 👍🎣

Great video!! A few years ago I found a few abandoned quarry’s and lakes on the Isle of Man with massive perch in them.

You fish in some amazing places, thank you for sharing and some nice perch of various sizes and finish with a decent one.

Nice one! Those fish were in immaculate condition. I bet there is an even bigger perch in there!

Used to fish there as a kid,long long time ago!, no roach in it then, just perch and minnows....and tadpoles! and one year got stocked with some trout, that soon went walkies!....where you caught the big perch was called the "happy birthday" swim, as someone had spray painted Happy birthday on the cliff in huge letters,obviously long gone....great to see the place again-thanks for the video...a magical place

What beautiful perch you caught there the markings were perfect. Loveky location to catch them in too.

What a beautiful place that is and some nice fish too.😊 nice one George 😊😊

I've just got into fishing, literally had my first fishing trip just recently. Got the bug, can't wait to get out and catch more man. My friend got me straight into it with Carp fishing 🎣

Another great vid. It’s awesome catching perch on light tackle. Do you have bluegill, sunfish or crappie over there across the pond? I also like catching them on a fly line using poppers and some other type flies. It’s a blast either way. A lot of old quarries where I grew up in Pennsylvania that we would fish occasionally and thanks for showing such a cool place.

Well played mate definitely worth coming back for a bigger one!

catching a roach on a lure is a madness, haha you've defo been watching ur db fishing with all that LMAB gear and the la mosquito rod, love it

Great Video and what a place to fish , Just awesome

Great video George, awesome scenery 😎 By the way I'm Coast 2 Coast Fishing 😅

If youre fishing for perch. I can highly recommend. fox rage spikey shads. Ive had loads of perch out with them and pike love them too! Give them ago if you havent tried them before!

First video I've seen of yours.....subscribed from the USA

First time come across your channel. Subbed, love these types of videos natural beauty.

Well done mate, lovely surrounding, nice catch

Wow that's a BEAUTIFUL spot, theirs an old lime stone quarry and a mild jp the coast from me and it use to be stocked with rainbow 🌈 and brown trout but I don't think theirs any of them left as that was about 30 years ago but I know theirs big eels and perch in there. It's a lovely spot.

Beautiful scenery bro what a magical place to fish for sure . Gotta take me there perching one day bro 😄 stunning perch too man 🎣

Beautiful isolated spot. I've fished a lot of abandoned limestone quarries in the upper US midwest for bluegills and bass but this must be much much older. I can't help wondering what stone was quarried there and how it was transported out.

Awesome place to fish! I would not believe the rumors of there being no pike, its such an old water and thered plenty of bait. Waters like that can be super tricky for pike and it doesnt seem like its fished a lot so people probably just gave up. Maybe a video later in the year fishing deadbaits? You never know!

It is always fun to see these vids with brits being overjoyed with a perch of this size, here in the netherlands they grow quite a bit bigger. Stunning scenery tho.

You sounded like the two tailors from the fast show , "oh suit you you sir oh oh !! Did you spend the evening with a Lady sir ? Oh did she want it sir??!, I'm just messin it's not that bad if you've not seen it check it out lol I know it's not a fishing thing but hey it'll make you laugh 😆

What a great video! Beautiful spot! I'm about to have my first trip in a few years so I'm super pumped! Heading out tomorrow to camp by some rivers and do some fly fishing in the mountains. Got all my batteries charged for my cameras.

Nice video and stunning place to fish.

You've certainly found another stunning place George , shame you didnt take Georgia with you she could have done some wonderful paintings down there . Not realy convinced about that roach though , it looked like a hybrid to me the colours were a bit wishy washy for me . Best wishes to you both anyway 👍

That was a good perch indeed. I swim in flooded quarrys on the moors around here. I often see fish and wonder how they got in there

Great video m8 just subscribed 👍 👊❤️beautiful perch m8 .

I've been here this morning but no look. Very local to me but never fished it. Well in 😁

Very scenic spot. Amazing.

If you didnt catch 1 fish in that stunning location you just wouldn't mind would you mate . What a stunning place thanks for the vid 🙏

Saw your mountain pond video and now i am on a binge :D

What a great way to finish the session.😲 A lovely day, at a stunning lake.🫣 Thank you so much for taking us with you.👍 Until the next one, take care and stay safe.😷

Loving the channel, really informative

What a beautiful spot to fish Sir. When I lived in the UK, (I now live in New Zealand), I used to fish the river at Emberton Park in Olney, Buckinghamshire with my ex-father-in-law. We would use lob worms or brandlings. Using a waggler close to the bank, we always had plenty of Perch at least 50% of which required a landing net. My personal best was a beauty of 2lb 2oz. Happy days!

I love catching perch, theyre the most beautiful little predators. But I was wondering, how do fish get into an abandoned quarry? There's one near me that looks quite similar to this but ive never considered fishing it as ive always assumed there would be no fish in it.

Great video glad I came across this, it is an amazing place tooked away just off the main road I've been there tons of times still looks there same from when I used go down there with my mates when we were younger. That water is very deep I've heard there's even a crane in the bottom of there and a couple of people died not sure how, true that is.

You should smuggle some largemouth bass up there, they would love it

Can’t help but notice the hoodie your wearing, Gerry’s fishing tackle shop is just round the corner from where I live 🎣

You need to come to Australia mate, we get perch (redfin as we call them), well over 2 pounds... Still a cool fishing spot though.

Cracking place and a lovely watch, what’s with lip gripping 3 inch perch?

Chunk of a perch mate,well done 👍🏻

Nice video! What is a jig head? Do you put a hook with Weight through the rubber lure?

Brill video amazing location and my favourite species i'm hooked lol

If you're where I think you are. I used to fish there as a kid. There used to be a pike in there. Just the one I guess as they've not bred so probably dead now. Hooked it once when reeling a roach in but sadly snapped me.

Another belter of a video, beautiful wild place, next time you fishing Anglesey let me know, we could do a colab.😊

Superb perch, great video - really relaxing until that bite! I also love wild garlic, I hope you harvested some? It's fully edible raw or cooked 😊

Really glad u enjoyed it.under that lege at the end there live monsters u need live bait or worm 🐛 really there's even rumours someone has put a cat fish in there

Encouraging to see a young gentleman like yourself enjoying fishing in a beautiful place

Fascinating atmospheric place...

Thanks for a nice video. Personally I would take a quiet scenic setting over more ,larger fish.

The colour on those perch were amazing post the locaction

Beautiful fish mate

I've always found that you cant beat a juicy lob worm for Perch, they cannot resist them.

Cracking little video

Lovely place that , the roach will have thought that to be a worm and snaffled it 👍👍

yes george, been a while away in central America but I'm back in the Uk and the lakes, ready to smash a summer of angling. been chatting to Harry loads he's having a mad one out in Japan, hit us up if ur feeling lonely and want a fishing buddy since he's not here anymore ;) cracking video as usual pal keep em coming.

I was informed yesterday that the best bait for a really large Perch was a small Perch. If you were dropshotting and had obviously hooked a small fish, the best thing you could do was leave it in the water for a chunk to munch.

Reminds me a a quarry i found when i was younger in the south west, so many wild carp there. I never did catch one though.

Banging perch

Good size roch welll done

Nice were abouts is this?, reminds me of a place we used to go as kids in a place called longridge

What a stunning place. What part of the country is this. My kind of solitary peaceful fishing

Could be fooled into thinking you were fishing in a different country other than the uk stunning water gin clear fantastic surrounding and some nice fish to boot

Love these hidden gems to fish Quality

wow,... A lovely place to fish. I wanne be there,...I wanne be there. greetings and tight lines.

As someone who fishes in Australia, I really want to go back to the UK and fish. I also want to try fly fishing at some point.

Would love to see you doing more sea fishing video's

The wife and myself watched the video today. I am 68 I said it took me back to when myself and my friends went fishing Forth and Clyde canal, I told her we did not have the equipment that you have now as 95% of the time we caught a cold.

I grew up catching abandoned quarry perch. One day I caught 66 perch (66 "catches") in one afternoon from a hole in the weeds just in front of me, all the same size you were catching and mostly all on a single red maggot. I had a float on but I was dropping a maggot in and it was away before the float hit the water. I would watch them suck the maggot in and just lift them out. Several times I would catch one, toss it back and then watch that exact same fish go for the bait and I'd catch the same fish twice in a row. I started taking tally marks around 20 something, I was alone and I told my friends about it and none of them believed me. 'MON THE DEED DUG!

Hey man the day where you get a bunch of small ones make for great days!

how do the fish get into the abandoned quarry, has someone introduced them like years back ??

As the saying goes..a big Perch is the biggest fish of all...or something like that,...great stuff

There are two abandoned quarrys down near me. very small one, maybe quarter if an acre in size, people who fished it managed to craft out three fishing peg. Carp in 20lb+ have come out and different fish. There is a 2nd one which is full of rudd, absolutely packed full of rudd, but once you get through the rudd there are some good tench in it, 8lb tench was caught before. "nd one you need the farmers permission to fish though and only two places to fish

Small perch in the margins or shallows are quite possibly there because the predator grandfathers are in the deeper areas in full daylight. Perch naturally tend towards the deeps when light is strong so I'm surprised you didn't twig about why you were only getting tiddlers - with one exception. Let those small swimbaits sink well down, try progressive counts to vary the depth till you feel the line go slack, which will be either the bottom or maybe the perch of a lifetime. One of those wee ones fished as livebait on or near the bottom might have seen you packing up early from arm-ache caused by serial 2-3lb fish! (Its happened to me when I used to explore all sorts of largely unfished oddments of waters just as you're doing. One time my young brother and me stopped counting when we got to 65 sizeable perch, smallest about 1.25lbs and the biggest a bit short of 3lbs.) And not a single pike, strangely enough.. It was a big shallow water with zillions of perch fry crowding the margins with shoals of hunting biggies pushing them in towards the shoreline. We were using Mepps-minnow spinners. Deadly things, those. Fished as slow as possible. It got too repetitive so eventually we left, pretty well tired out as well as we'd "had enough". Later on that water was hit by perch disease and never seemed to regain its former ability to harbour a massive biomass of big perch...😢 Explore the deeps until whatever time the light weakens, when they'll be more inclined to patrol the margins hunting the wee things you kept catching. So - fish deep or hang around till dusk! Worth another visit maybe? (If you can get a small inflatable there you might explore those vertical shoreline cliff type areas - try jigging the deep water close in - perch love "structure") But if you do be sure to wear a flotation jacket! Tight lines!

You always stand a chance of catching a silver fish on a lure when using passive baits. I've had roach, bream and rudd on passive soft plastics similar to what you are using

Is that the green lagoon arlsey?? I used to go there as a kid

What’s with all the Lmab lures recently dude? U the next one on their list??

Come down to Dorset and fish the stour with me when the rivers open the perch go to 5lb on my local stretch with plenty of 3s and 4s 🎣

Next time throw out a plenty of bread to attract the roach and the splashing from the fish will Attract the Predators in the area and try a mepps spinner, I,be had perch up to about 4lb, the best day I had perch fishing was 22 over 2lb and my brother had 24 over 2lb fishing next to each other in about 2-3 hours in one big pool in a stream. I’ve try their quite a few times and never had know more than about 5

Brilliant let's have more

My question with all these spots is do you need a permit? I'm put off fishing many spots due to the rabbit hole of trying to find out what permissions you need beyond a standard fishing licence.

You got a whole can of sardines !

All the perch at the place I showed you are about the size of the last one, shame that trip didn't work out.

Have you tried adding scents even to the scented lures?

What is your line setup for this sort of lure fishing? I’m just starting out

Good fishing mate I no this place shame no pike showed up

There's some cracking fish in there. Not been up for a while. And there never used to be a rope on that hill.

Fishing in beautiful spots is worth it even if you don't catch trophies.

Personally I would have tried some worms 🪱 or maggots if theirs roach in their a nice wiggly worm under a tiny Bob float might have brought some bigger fish but the lure your using is doing really well. Sorry I spoke too soon nice fat one there.

What a place👌👌
