A great fish to concentrate on, so pretty.

If you ever need some company let me know mate. :chuckle:

I would settle for a 1lb crucian - I caught loads of crucians when I was a a child and in my teens but I haven't caught one for about 35 years. They used to be in nearly all the waters in my area in those days ( late 60's and 70's).
With all the nice pools I fish its the one fish that isn't there.

My biggest was a 2lb 10oz back in the late 80's.

I came out of the Ornamentals in Wanstead Park.

These days i wonder if it was a true Cru but it remains so in my mind anyway.

Plug away Pete,

My favourite site, I've not caught a Cru this season but when I do i'll send an email.

Cracking site, thanks for posting.....

This was a beast of a crucian, very slightly over four pounds, probably the best fish I will ever catch, free lined maggots on a big hook, not the usuall way of catching I know, this beat my PB by around three pounds, I broke my PB tench the day before from the same pool and have since suffered my record number of blank sessions from the same pool.
