We had a great time today on Salford Quays.

Our Lure Fishing “After Party” at Salford Quays
The weather was fantastic, plenty of people came down to say hello including tv crews from the BBC and www.fishingtv.com
The anglers appeared to use two main tactics – an all out pike attack with big lures in the open waters of the quays – and more specialised perch fishing tactics with mini lures fished down the edge and around features.
The pike didn’t really want to play ball today – with a few follows and dropped hookups but in contrast the only angler who concentrated on small perch had a great time.
Congratulations to Marian Dumitrascu – our winner on the day with 525cm (17ft 3inch) of perch !!
Our winner – And Birthday Boy – Marian with a superb 525cm of perch
Here are a selection of some of the more successful lures that were used on the day.
Perch Slayers
Crank Baits
Even TV Presenter Andy Ford got in on the perch action catching small fish down the edge
As always – the Quays fished well and produced the fish to an angler who has done his homework and got his tactics right.
I can’t omit a mention to all the people who came down for a walk, a chat, a fish (non competition) who made todays event such a great social event….
Lets hope www.worldfishingday.com has been a great success – and it is repeated in 2019 – we will definitely get involved again and give people more notice that an event is taking place.
