sturgeon and bream

Tried the canal for one of those silver bream yesterday with Merv.  Saw more than one barge go through with all those holiday craft cruising about, still, we caught two bream apiece but they were all bronze.  Better luck next time.

Today a visit to the osteopath was followed by a quick visit to the local sturgeon lake.  Merv and his grandson, Curtis, were already fishing and Curtis had increased his pb for the species to 25lb-9oz.

                                                            Curtis Welch with 25lb-9oz pb.

Merv took a sturgeon of 17lb odd and I had a mirror carp of about 14lb on a slice of salmon, not the target species but better than a blank.   Back to barbel tomorrow - let you know the result.
