|
|
as a few of you know im not just a carper and do like fishing for other species, as long as they are of a decent size....
so with that i have set myself a task for this year. and thats to catch one of all the fish on the list below bigger than the weight that i have put beside each one. i have picked the weight`s of what i believe to be realistic for the water`s im targeting,(e.g) big fish for the water.
so here`s the list.......
species................target weight...................biggest caught
carp.....................20lb...............................15.8
tench....................8lb................................4.0
bream...................8lb................................4.8
roach....................2lb................................8oz
rudd......................1lb................................
crucian carp...........2lb................................2lb 8oz
perch....................2lb.................................
pike......................15lb................................3.0
eel........................4lb..................................3.8
chub.....................4lb...................................
grayling.................2lb...................................
barbel..........any as ive never caught one.........
catfish..........any as ive never caught one.........
the biggest challenge will be to catch a rudd over a pound, most of the water i fish hold rudd but there all very small fish.
out tomorrow to see if i can get that 2lb+ roach

Good luck mate, hope you succeed in all of them
You have set yourself fair targets there I would say
Personally I would say the 2 hardest ones is the 2lb Roach and the 2lb Grayling
Look forward to pics of your rewards  _________________ under 18? Get in THE ZONE

to be honest i dont want to do it all in one weekend, i would rather spread it out over the year so that i have many high`s instead of just one.  _________________ under 18? Get in THE ZONE

the lake only had carp and trout in when the club toke over the lease, and they stocked fish bought from a dealer. there`s no brown gold fish or ornamental`s in there.
if you look at the tail you will see it`s a bit deformed, and was riddled in lice...
i did check the dorsal fin to make sure it was convexed  _________________ under 18? Get in THE ZONE
