Beginning my search for a three pound perch - to the Farm Pond. Far too bright really but managed 6 perch to about a pound. Using worms I also bagged up on little roach, rudd & bream - nice to get a few bites. Did spot some larger perch chasing the rudd - livebait next time.
Couldn't resist stalking out a carp on floating crust before I headed for home (and a beer) - a fantastic 14lb 1oz fully scaled mirror - perhaps, given the conditions I should have just targeted the carp. But it's a perch start - and a lovely afternoon in the sunshine!
Very nice Brian !!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mick. Hopefully a big perch next…
DeleteCracking fish Brian. Make hay whilst the sun shines, the perch will be fatter in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteThanks, saw it mooching about so had to have a cast. It is rather lovely being out in the sunshine!
DeleteCrabtree style, love it!
ReplyDeleteSunshine, lots of fish and a beautiful carp to end on - what’s not to love (except for the lack of a big perch :-)
