I'll be back on the moat, but instead of seeking carp I'll be targetting the crucians that live there. I've heard through the grapevine that there are some quite good ones, but after seeing this photo I can't wait to get going. It is by a chap who fishes the moat and has started fishing with his daughter, something I hope to emulate over the next few years. He kindly gave me permission to share this photo with you guys.
Isn't it just the most delightful photo you've seen? It epitomises everything that is great and pure about our beloved sport!!

Fantastic, get em young, there's good chance It'll last.... The only draw back is that you'll have competition, you'll need to pull your socks up mate!
Great picture SK. You're not the only one targeting Crucians this season and having aquired a lovely Aspindales Suredale from Nobby I think I've got the perfect tool for it.
Good luck with your quest.
Bloomin eck, she's bagged a better one than I have. Beautiful looking fish. I too hope to take my daughter fishing soon, however she'll almost certainly 'talk' the fish into the net.
