Now I like the sound of that!

seriously though.... to answer the thread question. Rays and spurdogs and the odd far, far away pollocks Some really cracking fish too, blondes in the 20+ bracket and the spurs too with at least one but probably two BR spurs on one trip out of Poole. 23lb ish scaling 21 - 25 on a bumpy sea - quickly returned.........bravo

First day I've had the time / weather to go and have one on Sunday too balderdash botheration I know.................I'll do some decorating......= points and......... I'll tie some bream rigs as well

spent too long in the sun I recon Charlie

BTW who's the pikey with the big kipper??

Best view of a beam trawler I ever had!!

Rob, The colour could be any number of things from strain, time of year in maturing fish, habitat, sea, brackish or fresh water etc. (the camera) The one you posted Is less likely to be a mature winter fish as normally the pigment in the flesh migrates to the skin and gives a more intense blush of colour. On the other hand if the pigment levels are low or absent in individuals little happens. I can't quite tell from the photo if that one is a triploid but it fits the general appearance of ours. Our strain dose through quite a few fish which are naturally the colour of the one you posted. In essence we try not to focus so much on keeping them all looking the same. In fact diversity is strength. That said, look at the spot type, volume and pattern of all three browns

It's that bl@@dy size thing again Rob......... init If you just want big, here it is 24 lb + I presume that one was from Middle Coombe? could be one of mine??

Little brown job to complete the set

Interesting thought Paul. It is surprising what we pay for our leisure pursuits. I suppose it is all down to how passionate you are about any particular activity. If I liked trout fishing even half as much as my sea fishing & boating there would be no contest at all on cost benefit analysis. I could fish for trout in the best fisheries every week and still wouldn't cost as much as my 10-15 trips to sea. Agreed (PS none of my trout have two tails)

Dave, Do you remember when Hamer first opened? What was the fishing like then? Is the top lake at Whitesheet still a problem with algae in the summer?

I have a totally indistructable toughbook up for the right offer.... need an upgrade.

Red rag seen M B I can always loose a few lbs, but you try turning time back............ Shall we stop this before I have a coronary with mirth.......... besides we're off topic............. Fish catching & then quality me thinks

I have time on my side Couldn't resist that either Martin.......................

and you of all people should know that size ain't inportant "ain't inportant" but shpelling ish..... important

You need to be visiting the fish ID website Rob!!!! 'Tis an Arctic Char

Aaaaaaaaaah bless I'll bet you don't catch many of these in Hamer Warren.............

Oh alrighty then......... spot the grumpy one

Thought so. Do we know who stocks those lakes?

where was that Paul?
