I love my 11ft Korum Allrounders (1.25TC) and aside from my Zandering, I use them for pretty much everything. A few months ago on a commercial pond whilst my young lad was landing a few small Stock Carp and Rudd, I managed to get tucked into a school of decent Gudgeon. They were all of a...

Stunning Zed (and picture) mate.

I love them and usually enjoy a couple of trips each year to a small English river not too far from me, to fish for them. I went both last Sunday and the week before and during freezing conditions, trotting maggots I managed a couple dozen to 1lb 10oz (PB). They fight like little troopers, I'd...

Cracking fish Richard, sounds like you enjoyed the week and very much made the most of it.

Great fish Graham.

Nice one Graham, you gotta love a double figure Zed. 👍

I know what you mean regarding your resolve Mick. I haven't put anywhere near the effort you have into the Canals, mainly because where I live I'd be driving past some of the finest Zander fishing available in the Country and that's a really hard sell, especially when conditions are good. I...

Phenomenal fish Mick, congratulations! I read your story and for your efforts and the capture, you deserve a round of applause mate. I've dabbled a bit on the Midland canals over the years and have had them to 8.11, a double from one of those waters would be a fantastic capture! Very well...

Heyyup Bob. 👍

Cheers Gents.

I like a trip or two Grayling fishing in the winter but Zander are my staple go-to fishing target, I caught my first nearly 30 years ago and never tire of catching this most enigmatic of fish. However, if I really had to choose another fish to target, I think it would be a decent winter Roach...

Cheers Chaps, appreciate the welcome. 👍 Next, the Barbel fishing. :cool:

Cheers Paul. 👍

Nearly 5 years ago I returned in my boat to the marina on the river around lunchtime on a scorching hot August day. As I carefully manoeuvred my boat onto its pontoon I saw a couple of Carp (or so I thought) cruising near the surface, 4 or 5ft off the walkway. Nothing unusual about that I...

Cheers Bill. 👍
