I caught a bream the other day which was deviod of slime and had the pimply head ready for spawning.

 

It had a few translucent pinkish looking leach type creatures on it....not as many as those in your pic, but if there had been as many I guess a pic would look very similar to yours.

 

Did those pine cone type attachments have 2 tiny black specs in each of them? The tiny pink creatues on my bream each had a couple of black specs on/in them (their internal organs perhaps?).

Still can't find the bloody lead for my camera and it's not a standard one so I can't find one in the shops either.

 

With regard to rigs, I only caught on the one rod - inline method feeder with a four inch braid hooklink, knotless knotted to a size ten Fox series two hook. Bait was corn critically balanced with fake corn.

Much better using a USB card reader for downloading, than the camera's USB cable.

 

As well as being convenient, you don't have to worry about the battery life of the camera's batteries, or using a power lead to the camera during downloads.

 

They aren't that expensive these days either

 

(As well as downloading pictures from your camera memory card, most allow you to download the information on your mobile phone's SIM card as well, so that you can back up all of those phone nos etc)

Rob,

 

Search the photography forum for a thread I started about card readers. I ended up buying one and I think it cost about 6 or 7 quid delivered! I haven't looked back, since. It's so much faster and means that I have one reader for all my camera cards.

Richard, and anyone else interested, those pine cone scales can and sometimes do, occur all over a male bream. Mostly only the head is affected, but a couple of 6lbers I saw and handled yesterday, were covered all over with them.

 

Ron (the bloke who caught them, and somewhat of a bream expert sorry Ron ) said that almost every one of the males he had caught in the last few weeks was the same.

 

Steve knows Ron :)

Been studying your set up Richard, and I like it pretty much solves any tangles and presents quite a lot of feed. I will try it with a method feeder instead of the maggot feeder.......
