Stunning Bream.
Interesting how you say you can't find them anymore................

I have been fishing a 200 acre Mere from a punt.
It holds some big bream / hybrids, but they are not easy to find.
I have been rowing around looking for dirty water, fins, bubbles which proved difficult if there is anything more than a ripple.
On finding the dirty water it was still difficult to know where the fish were actually feeding.
Fresh plumes of silt would signal I'm on the fish ( it's only about 3-4 foot deep ) and I caught anything between a couple and 15 fish on maggots, whilst loose feeding maggots, before they would move on.

The real problem I had was keeping the fish feeding without spooking them.

Crikey they are Mahooosive bream....very impressed, well done that man!

Dear me! Almost as big as my Christmas dinner plate.
