Oh I thought you meant that no AN members would catch any specimen fish this year.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

From stocking numbers,whats been found dead after spawning over the years etc I reckon its more like that as well.

 

Are you talking about total numbers of bream Budgie, or just the really big bream?

Surely there has been successful spawning over the years, so what about the smaller fish?

 

John.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

So true, it was a phenomenal achievement. One a year is the best most of us can hope for, 3 in the same session is amazing!

 

Gozzer, that guesstimate of 20 is all of them, there aren't any small ones. They spawn each year but it doesn't seem to be successful. This appears to be normal on waters like this.

John.

 

Total numbers John.It seems quite common on SB/LSD bream waters for them not to successfully reproduce/have zero recruitment. My brother caught a small skimmer/roach x bream hybrid a few summers back (wish we had paid more attention to it and took a photo now). I seem to remember Kim caught one of a few pounds? (will check when I'm over the lake later today) and that it appears is it!

 

Now whether the bream don't spawn successfully,are infertile,the spawn gets destroyed or eaten or the fry starve/freeze or get eaten I don't know! But as I said most (in fact I think all maybe?) SB/LSD waters I know/have fished are the same.

 

EDIT Sorry I was typing while Anderoo replied.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

My own (very limited) experience of 'big' bream, was on a water that produced the then Yorkshire record of 12lb+ (I can't remember the ounces). I tried for a while to catch a few, and had them up to 9lb, others I witnessed had them up to 11lb, but saw fish that seemed much bigger. But there were always plenty of smaller fish, from a few ounces upwards. I always put the big ones down to an exceptional year class. Now I realise that the LDS/SB are of a different calibre to the ones we fished for, but I would have expected to see at least some smaller fish coming through.

 

I wonder if it's genetic, or the number of preds (including the cormorant invasion Steve mentioned) that finish them off.

 

John.

 

I'll add to that list.

Could it be that the water doesn't hold enough of the right 'food' for small fish, or that there is too much competition for it, from other species such as the tench?
