Hey, great thanks. I caught one pike with real bait. I can find them easily enough but no luck catching. I look forward to the perch one,cheers.

@Jeza, I'll make for you this guides. Perch will be today, but pike it's hard to find but you can catch pike on soft bait Okena UK-II

Thanks, got some tips for pike and perch? Can't seem to get any bites from perch.

Due to howi the fish mechanics are at the moment, you don't actually have to overload your float to catch them. You can even cath them at 30 cm depth.

The important thing is to land close above them. When they get interested, they will swim right up and get the bait, even if they were swimming at up to 19m depth before.

Lastly, cutbait isn't the only bait they like. They actually like quite a lot of baits. Here's the baits i know currently work:
small cutbait, big cutbait, leech, marshmallow, pea, natural egg, artificial egg, grasshopper

You can also use hook size 3, but only after having leveled them up fully (catch 50+ of them). At this point you can catch them up to 20 kg.

Tight lines ;)
