I occasionally drop in on the Basins now myself. Not seen a carp and in further contrast to your experiences there, I've had a lot of bream. They average a good weight for ponds of that size too, at 2-4lbs. I've also caught tench to over 5. Not the most peaceful water nowadays but a good place to fish lazily under the rod tip for a couple of hours on a summers evening.Russell Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564301240598105737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-1981695082813786712015-12-19T10:44:50.410+00:002015-12-19T10:44:50.410+00:00:oD:oDDave Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259482046178828401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-36074380314687385722015-12-18T22:28:36.105+00:002015-12-18T22:28:36.105+00:00I just assumed the gap came later as a result of b...I just assumed the gap came later as a result of biting his line..<br /><br />J90Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-61210017523755737332015-12-18T16:04:20.050+00:002015-12-18T16:04:20.050+00:00Yep J90, it's Terry Thomas - I Photoshopped th...Yep J90, it's Terry Thomas - I Photoshopped the gap in his teeth. :o)Dave Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259482046178828401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-38254991558829664052015-12-18T12:39:12.542+00:002015-12-18T12:39:12.542+00:00I do like a bit of angling nostalgia so I enjoyed ...I do like a bit of angling nostalgia so I enjoyed that - many thanks.<br /><br />Is that Terry Thomas holding those crucians?<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />J90Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-61153776928478004642015-12-17T19:56:59.246+00:002015-12-17T19:56:59.246+00:00Many thanks, I'll look that one up.Many thanks, I'll look that one up.Dave Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259482046178828401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558987905791642824.post-50706039629618732812015-12-17T16:25:43.294+00:002015-12-17T16:25:43.294+00:00Great read.
