TBT - A big 35+ Essex Common, down in weight from when I first caught it the year before. Stalked out the edge too 😉🙌 . . . . @korumfishing #carpfishing #carpangler #carpangling #fishing #nashtackle #bigcarp #karper #carp #carptackle #carplife #thatscarpy #carpfishinguk #carpanglers #carpscene #carping #karp #karpfen #carpy #essexcarp #rivercarp #canalcarp #rivercarping #canalcarping #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #getoutdoors #greatoutdoors #angling #carplake
LOCATING BIG PERCH - NEW VIDEO NOW ON YOUTUBE. LINK IN THE BIO. Just finding these fish is half the battle. I catch this corker, plus a few others and give my thoughts and approach to searching out these stunning creatures.

Another in a run of nice Perch on the Reggiez. This 43cm beauty put up a hell of a scrap, covering every inch of the swim before finally sliding into my net. After catching a few they moved on and so the search begins again ... just as soon as it stops raining!!! 😫 . . . . @korumfishing #squirmz #perchfishinguk #pikeangler #coarsefishinguk #lurefishinguk #bigperch #coarsefishing #perchfishing #predatorfishing #softbaits #catchandreleaseonly #zanderfishing #baars #fishinguk #lurefishing #spinningfishing #riverlea #fishingaddiction #perch #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #fishinglife #fishing #greatoutdoors
TBT - It’s the 1st of October, so I had to throw back to the days that saw me going up and down the Ouse on my boat fishing for its crocs with lures! I had a few nice ones too. Happy days. . . . . #pikefishing #pikeangler #pikeangling #fishing #bigpike #angling #lurefishing #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #fishingpicoftheday #catchandrelease #getoutside #getoutstayout #exploremore #theglobewanderer #letsgosomewhere #campvibes #optoutside #riverfishing #bigfish #fishingtackle #pike #predator #musky #muskyfishing #muskylures #softbaits #pikelures #thegreatoutdoors
So I hit 3000+ subscribers on YouTube which is pretty good considering it’s still a relatively new channel. I’m kinda making it up as I go along and it’s working out ok. Thanks if you’ve watched any of the vids or subscribed. Next week I’m releasing quite a decent little perch video that covers location and a few good fish, including one absolute tank! Thanks again for your support. It’s appreciated 😉 🎥 LINK IN THE BIO. @korumfishing #fishforeverything
A carp caught during the warm weather a couple of weeks back. No monster but was good to get the carp rods out for a few hours! 🎣😁 . . . . @korumfishing #carpfishing #carpangler #carpangling #fishing #nashtackle #bigcarp #karper #carp #carptackle #carplife #thatscarpy #carpfishinguk #carpanglers #carpscene #carping #karp #karpfen #carpy #essexcarp #rivercarp #canalcarp #rivercarping #canalcarping #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #getoutdoors #greatoutdoors #angling #carplake
Another nice Perch slamming the @korumfishing Snapper Reggiez the other day. Having found some fish I’ve now started to comb the area slowly with the new creature baits in a range of colours. Ale proving to be the one that’s doing the business! 🦞 🦞 🦞 . . . . @korumfishing #korumsnapper #perchfishinguk #pikeangler #coarsefishinguk #lurefishinguk #bigperch #coarsefishing #perchfishing #predatorfishing #softbaits #catchandreleaseonly #zanderfishing #baars #fishinguk #lurefishing #spinningfishing #riverlea #fishingaddiction #perch #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #fishinglife #fishing #greatoutdoors
TBT ... a nice croc from last winter. I had a few decent Pike sessions last year. Won’t be targeting these yet but look forward to some croc hunting some time soon 🐊😉 . . . #pikefishing #pikeangler #pikeangling #fishing #bigpike #angling #lurefishing #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #fishingpicoftheday #catchandrelease #getoutside #getoutstayout #exploremore #theglobewanderer #letsgosomewhere #campvibes #optoutside #riverfishing #bigfish #fishingtackle #pike #predator #musky #muskyfishing #muskylures #softbaits #pikelures #thegreatoutdoors
Now on YouTube. Chub fishing on the River Blackwater, Hampshire and the River Lea. LINK IN THE BIO. My roaming approach to catching Chub with lures and bait. Thanks for checking it out! 👍🙏🎣 . . . . @korumfishing #chub #fishing #river #rivers #lea #lee #fishinguk #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #coarsefishing #angling #angler #greatoutdoors #getoutside
A bit of a tank from the weekend! Decided to mainly use crankbaits due to mild conditions and to enable me to cover as much water as possible. The Perch have not been playing ball on the Lea and I’ve really had to search lots of new areas and eventually found myself on a stretch I’ve never fished before. I knew it was a big perch from the moment I hooked it. What a fight! The 2 - 12g SoSolid rod bent double 🎣 3lb 10oz, 46cm, big fish for this time of year. Hope you all had a few over the weekend too 🙏🎣👌 . . . . @korumfishing #perchfishinguk #pikeangler #coarsefishinguk #lurefishinguk #bigperch #coarsefishing #perchfishing #predatorfishing #softbaits #catchandreleaseonly #zanderfishing #baars #fishinguk #lurefishing #spinningfishing #riverlea #fishingaddiction #perch #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #fishinglife #fishing #greatoutdoors
TBT ... probably 20years or so ago. A long weekend in Kent, I took a couple of non-angling friends fishing and they couldn’t believe what I pulled out the lake just before it was time to leave for home! #takeafriendfishing . . . . . @korumfishing #carpfishing #carpangler #carpangling #fishing #nashtackle #bigcarp #karper #carp #carptackle #carplife #thatscarpy #carpfishinguk #carpanglers #carpscene #carping #karp #karpfen #carpy #essexcarp #rivercarp #canalcarp #rivercarping #canalcarping #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #getoutdoors #greatoutdoors #carplake
A chunky meat victim from the weekend on the Lea. 🎣 . . . . . @korumfishing #chub #fishing #river #rivers #lea #lee #fishinguk #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #coarsefishing #angling #angler #greatoutdoors #getoutside
Mild conditions at the weekend saw me switch species. Started off by rolling meat but they didn’t seem to want a moving bait. A quick rig change to the Bolt and Run kit and I quickly landed a barbel on a short session at dusk. . . . . @korumfishing #barbel #fishing #barbelfishing #river #rivers #lea #lee #fishinguk #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #coarsefishing #angling #angler #greatoutdoors #getoutside
Can’t help but admire their markings. One of a few Pike to grab my lure recently. 🐊 . . . . @korumfishing #pikefishing #pikeangler #pikeangling #fishing #bigpike #angling #lurefishing #fishingtrip #fishinglife #fishingislife #fishingpicoftheday #catchandrelease #getoutside #getoutstayout #exploremore #theglobewanderer #letsgosomewhere #campvibes #optoutside #riverfishing #bigfish #fishingtackle #pike #predator #musky #muskyfishing #muskylures #softbaits #pikelures #thegreatoutdoors
Pulled off the motorway on the way home from the New Forest to quickly try my luck on the River Blackwater for the first time ever. Grabbed my SoSolid lure rod and a few lures and bagged 3 chub and 2 perch in a few hours! Then back on the motorway and headed home. 🙌 . . . . @korumfishing #chub #fishing #river #rivers #lea #lee #fishinguk #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #coarsefishing #angling #angler #greatoutdoors #getoutside
A stripeless 4 pounder caught a couple of years ago. One last cast, after one last cast, after one last cast ... then boom 😉🎣 . . . . . @korumfishing #perchfishinguk #pikeangler #coarsefishinguk #lurefishinguk #bigperch #coarsefishing #perchfishing #predatorfishing #softbaits #catchandreleaseonly #zanderfishing #baars #fishinguk #lurefishing #spinningfishing #riverlea #fishingaddiction #perch #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #fishinglife #fishing #greatoutdoors
Dropshot fishing for Perch is now live on YouTube. LINK IN THE BIO. We go through my approach to this finesse style of lure fishing. We review the tackle, rigs, lures and methods.

Perch not playing ball this morning. Probably due to loads of coloured water after the rain. I carefully placed a crankbait with my new SoSolid @korumfishing lure rod. This Chub absolutely nailed it!!!! . . . @korumfishing #chub #fishing #river #rivers #lea #lee #fishinguk #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #coarsefishing #angling #angler #greatoutdoors #getoutside
Another TBT - Watching Monster Carp has got me reflecting on my own encounter with the Julliens Golden Carp. Not a big one but what a stunning looking creature!

#TBT ... going back quite a few years to my first ever ‘proper’ Perch. I’d been catching wasps for months before this 2.5lber came along and it looked massive in comparison. The Perch season is upon us and I cannot wait!!!! . . . . @korumfishing #squirmz #perchfishinguk #pikeangler #coarsefishinguk #lurefishinguk #bigperch #coarsefishing #perchfishing #predatorfishing #softbaits #catchandreleaseonly #zanderfishing #baars #fishinguk #lurefishing #spinningfishing #riverlea #fishingaddiction #perch #riverfishing #freshwaterfishing #fishinglife #fishing #greatoutdoors
