Concrete Perch

Post by Moley »

Yesterday 1400-1530hrs


To use up some casters Fatty went down to the local Bassie. Running a small float along the concrete bankside, in the afternoon sun, one of these decided to visit:

.......and one of these:

Didn't think they fed much in winter; it was a warm day I suppose?

Packed up in time for the footie results and to watch England in the Six Nations :clap:

Followed up by sausage, mash and onions......bliss.

Does it get any better than this?

As ever,........

It is a very nice Perch. :Hat:

The Bassie is the local name for the Basingstoke Canal, Jardine; not the easiest of waters as it goes very clear at this time of year, with the fish being very localised. It pays to be mobile to locate the fish :Wink:

I suppose that perch makes up for it.

Didn't weigh it Dave, as the scales were back home.....I forgot them( an age thing nowadays) but it was measured at 12inches, so can only guess at probably over the pound :Wink:

Have you ever match fished or worked for the Post Office Paul? I am short, fat and scruffy usually seen whilst fishing with a pork pie :Hahaha:

Either that or you may have witnessed me being barred from yet another pub in the area?

Well done Moley.

Couple of years since I fished the Basingstoke Canal but you've whetted my appetite for a visit.
