Lingmere Fishery 25/04/2006

I wasn't very happy about the result of last trip at Lingmere and I made a REVENGE this morning.

Started the session at 7:30am and a fish a chuck till the end of session.

It's a CRUCIANS DAY as I managed 20 crucians around the 1.5lb mark. Very happy as crucian is my favourite fish.


Also landed 15 tenchs and the biggest one should around 5lb which's the strongest fighter of the day.


Also managed 70+ carps or kois but 69 of them under 1lb just one around 2lb mark with occasional skimmers to 1.5lb.


Tactics - ONLY PELLETS! used light colour 4mm expanders and switched to 6mm when the fish were really having it. Fed with swimstim groundbait and soaked 4mm pellets.

Alright kev great days fishing there mate you can add one more species to your lis there mate too (Brown Goldfish) the bottom crucian on the left is a goldfish mate. So theres another for your list.

Some lovely looking fish there lad I like the fully scaled Mirror Koi I've one like that in my pond.

Well done.

Bri, I went there becoz I know there would be a little bit of showers and I thought the fish may love this weather and that seemed correct.

and raf, I also doubt with the species of the fish as it's got a crucian head, but a carp tail. The one at top left corner actually got a very similar tail so it's also a goldfish?

Not sure mate the differences are a lot more subtle. Not that it matters like but I used to go fishing with a good mate of me dads and mine and when we went we used to have a little match see who could get the most different species.

Unfotunately my godfather of fishing passed away last year, If you go to the canal by cooksons bridge the BWB allowed us to make a special peg for him.
