OK I will get the ball rolling.

I love Crucian Carp, My second favourite of the smaller fish species.

The below were caught at Bury Hill's Milton lake which is well known for Crucian Carp I believe.
That's the F T Williams "The Dorset" rod by the way.

Splendid Jeff!!!

I have joined a local club that controls the fishing on another base close to where I work. I have been informed that the moat, never fished, hold some very good crucians, so, as soon as spring comes round next I shall be trying for these timid, shy biters and see if I can get that magical 2lber on the bank, something that has eluded me so long.

Nice one SK, sounds like a good target for the next season.

If you are in need of some company please drop me a line.

Could be difficult mate, as it's on a naval base you'll need to be security cleared, and thats why it is hardly fished. I spent a couple of evenings there this year and caught nice low double mirror Carp and some Bream, but in all the times I've fished or walked around, I've only ever seen three or four people fishing, in two years!!!

Well I am the Sergeant.

Sounds like a nice place, almost untouched by the hand of Anglers. :D

Wish I could find somewhere like that.

You'll find it mate, when you least expect it, just keep your eyes open pal. :hat:

A fish I've never caught. There ain't many ponds that i know of round here with these little monkeys in. I'll start looking! They cone highly recommend. St.

We could arrange a trip to the place I mention above at some point if you (and anyone else who would like to join us) is game.

Sounds good! Where you based? I'm in Ross on wye, herefordshire.

True, we need to find out where everyione lives and find locatrions that are central. I'll be up for a spring trip with you though jeff..... :thumb:
