Dan's Perch

This morning didn't produce any carp but Dan caught this small perch... Think I'm going perch fishing next time, see if I can find his big brother!

And a bit of Photoshopping later... Monster...

And I forgot to mention I'm now exactly half way to my target of catching 69lb of carp.

10 minutes walk from Streatham High Street, across a park and hidden by trees, Tooting Bec pond is like being in a different country. At 7am, with parakeets flying overhead and terrapins swimming about, it's so easy to forget you are in London.

New personal best beating my old record of 11lb from the River Wye. 24lb 6oz of carp caught, 44lb 10oz to go...

First carp from Tooting. It cost £69 for a permit, so I'm going to try and match (or beat) the price in pounds of fish. A running total will appear to the right... 58lb of carp left to catch...
