Us fisherman loves some hot fishing spots
but there is a way to make a fishing spot even better
today we're gonna show you how to build a perch hotel
If you don't know what a perch hotel is
It's Team Galants own version of sticks and grass under water
a place on the bottom where you have a lot of sticks and trees
so that fish will hide there for us fisherman to fish there
you're gonna come with us when we cut down trees
take them out on the water and sink them with stones
and finally fish among some old ones
but first we'll read some of your comments
- what? - it's something huge
Jamie think that we should call Tobias for Toblerone
well well
Lucky Tobbe is kind of ok
But Toblerone?
Some sweets are always nice but no
Toblerone would be really nice now do you have some?
no that's just my nickname according to Jamie
Anton wonder when the next video about my pond will be released
Soon, but today we might have a sneak peak on how it's progressing
so keep on watching Anton
Our last comment is from Isak
He want us to go to these hotels and fish for perch and roach
that's a great idea Isak
We'll do that closer to the summer when the roach want to bite
This episod of Team Galant is quite different
we're gonna catch up on fish conservation today
and create some hot fishing spots
You're gonna see how I build all my perch hotels in open water
I've done this over 30 times through the years
But what is a perch hotel?
it's a collection of trees and sticks
and trail them out on the water
and then sunk them to the bottom with some stones
they create a good spot for mating and a place to stay and hide at
that makes them great spots for fishing
Today we're at a large clear water lake
I've been fishing here a lot in my life
and know that they make a huge difference
There are not a lot of structures on the bottom naturally here
like stones or so
it makes a lot of difference in lakes when it's naturally is missing
Next stop, Perch hotel
How much should we be charging per night?
do we offer breakfast?
We'll charge one 45cm plus every time
a 45cm plus perch that is
not only is it great for the fish it's also great for us fisherman
a win win situation
We might even see some intruders at these perch hotels, pikes
That want some free food
a very important thing when to build hotels like this
You need the permission of the land owner
both to be able to cut down trees
and permission to build a perch hotel
But who wouldn't want a free great fishing spot
No one says no to that
I've checked with the owner and we're good to go
Let's go now August
I'm the chainsaw man
just keep going
I like your safety gear
No you're not allowed to do this
This tree is way to big
We need like 3000kg stone to sink a tree that big
I do have a chainsaw license
- I do have chainsaw license - yeah me to
Let's find a better tree then
Your tree knowledge isn't that great
The tree is angry with you, it thought you would cut it down
They can actually speak the trees
stop stop stop
You might wonder why I'm here in Norway among snowy mountains

Here's a tree that will work
a lot of branches
a perfect spruce tree for the perches
First tree down
- how many do you think we need? - we probably need like 3-4
or 5 depending on the size of them
I found a decent pine tree over here
It will be great in the water for a long time I think
come on
Look at this Tobbe
It's tall and noble
there we go
another tree down, easy as pie
just keep on going and cut down a few more trees
and then start the build
I wanted to see Tobbe work and see if he's a real Småland guy
He has collected a few stones
to use and sink the trees with
now we're ready to head out and sink the trees at the right spot
Let's hope that August will deliver
hold on here so I can climb onboard
I'll push us out
I'll tie the tree to a rope
If Edvin where here he would've fallen in the water
I think you need to connect it like there
- in the water? - yeah
It might be too deep here for me
just drive straight in now
I'll hold it
between the branches
We need to untie it later on
you can attach it there
It'll work just fine
I'll just attach it like this
- are you ready? - I'm ready
We can use the electric motor
full speed ahead now
- this is some adventure August - yeah a real adventure
We've arrived at the spot that I planned for this perch hotel
Furthest out on a under water ridge with a lot of stones
usually a great fishing spot
But it will be so much hotter now
The tree is floating August, is that why we needed all those stones?
we need to sink the tree, how do we do that?
I have a lot of rope here
organic ropes that are not bad for nature
You don't wanna use plastic ropes
We'll tie the rope to the stones and then on the tree
and hopefully the tree will sink
I have never tied a rope to a stone before
I know how to tie knots
I'll start with a loop
I'll tread it around the stone and pull all the rope through the loop
almost like a lasso
and then a few times around it
I think this will do
I'll pull the rope through here
This will be great
Let's release the rope that holds the tree
It's Tobbe knot expert who did it
well done Tobbe I'm impressed
Hold the stone for a while I'm gonna tie it to the tree first
You're rockhard against me today
Under the tree like this
and a few knots
Not as nice as the ones Tobbe did
we'll need more stones
get ready to tie your special knots Tobbe
there we go
let's see if it'll work
are you ready?
1,2
take it easy, just follow it gently
bye bye
bye bye tree
How many lures will get stuck on that tree?
maybe 8-10 the firstyear
look at that
we want to sink the tree to the bottom
So no one can find our perch hotel not even Edvin
You don't want the tree so be seen
It's a good thing before we go get the all the others trees
we're gonna go and collect the other trees now
and then we sink it to the bottom
You need a coffea break when you're building stuff
- cheers for a job well done - cheers
No jobsite accidents this time
now we're just waiting for the final inspection
I would say that the perch hotel is done
- so cheers to that August - absolutely
It wont take many weeks until the first perch will move in
But first we need to do some marketing for the perch hotel
- how do we do that Tobbe? - maybe a Tiktok video?
and maybe on www.perch-hotels.com
August have done another project
He has emptied his own pond
and we have a lot of questions on the progress of it
His pond isn't that far from here
I think we should do an inspection and see how's it going
I haven't seen the pond when it's empty
I didn't expect it to look like this
Almost looks like on the moon
there is one spot that isn't emptied yet
- August?! - yeah?
Is it supposed to still be fish in there? I can see some on the surface
No the fish is supposed to not be in there
it's not fully drained
there are seriously a lot of fish
that's the deep hole
yeah remember that old video that we did
let's have a look over there
I'm the inspector and I will not put a passed sign on this one
it's not good, I can see some fish
all the time I can see fish
It was only a few dm when we drained it
- Do you wanna see the gap from hell? - yes
Something happened with the pipe
a big dead carp
and got stuck in the pipe
It was so round like a carp is
in the middle of the pipe so the pond didn't drain as it supposed to
we had to dig it up like this gap from hell
But I think we need to dig some more
not good
But this is what it looks like
Not so much to see
But we're gonna do some more digging
Just waiting on some permissions
we need to do 2 videos in the future
one where we do some multifish angling
I wanna see what still is in there
and then when you get all the permissions
a video on when you rebuild the pond
that's the idea
Now you know what happened to August pond
This is what it looks like a gap from hell
and a half empty pond
we've been construction workers
and inspectors
and finally we're gonna be fisherman
the thing I'm looking forward to the most
Let's hope the perch are willing to bite
I've been building a lot of perch hotels
and we're visiting one where we hope that the perch are checked in
just like us human the perch are checked in mostly during summer
but it wont stop us
there are always some tourist during the winter aswell
lets hope there is som fat winter perch checked in
I can tell by the sonar that we are at the right spot
and I can see that there are fish here
It might be good today
That would be really nice
we're fishing in a lake and I like to search for the perch with a flatnose mini
fish quite slow but not to slow
we know that they are here
They might not be fully checked in yet
so we have to search for them anyway
let's see if we can catch some perch
it's not the best time of the year for perch
the best time is late summer
I got one!
My first cast August
It's my expertise that did it
It's not the biggest though
but at least it's a fish
flatnose mini always deliver
a classic lure
this was a little brother
let's see if mom or dad is there aswell
bye bye
they can be stupid like this during winter
they play dead almost
I can go from perch hotel to perch hotel
they are effective for only like 15 minutes
and then it takes a few hours before it's hot again
there!
- what? - this is something really big
- no? - a pike
it's an intruder
it might be a really really...
no?
- it's stuck? - yeah it's stuck
it might under a branch
A pike or a big perch?
I don't think it's a perch
It locked itself to the hotel room
what shall we do, it's a big one
now it's coming
You got it now Tobbe
I'll grab the net
We really want to see it it's a big pike
- you got any anker? - an anker?
to use for?
pull up the whole tree
and destroy my perch hotel? let's not do that
We'll try this lure retriever
or we can send down a golden retriever
It's going
something happened
I think the line broke
I think the lure retrieve destroyed the line
- are you sure? - yes
I have a line here
pull
NO!
a lure without a pike
at least we could save the pike
he hadn't payed for the hotel
it was an intruder
well fought anyhow
that's a great hook you have there
I think I need to change it
But at least we scared him off from the hotel
It will be some time before he check in again
we are guardians of the perch hotel
he wont do it again
Fish!
a nice perch Tobbe
we need to scare these off from here
clear out the pikes
It seems like it's invaded by pikes
one perch and 3 pike strikes
- You got one August? - the worlds smallest perch
I can bass land it
Always nice to catch fish when the sun set
