Out at the pond today

[Rathwulven BC]

So we went out to our little pond today. Wish us luck.

Lots of rudds and roaches here.
By the way, out of curiosity: Usually our rudds here have the typical upturned mouth whereas the roaches don't. We recently got ourselves a rudd that also had red eyes, is there any chance of crossbreeding between the two by any chance? See here:

Thanks for the replies.

We have been out yesterday as that day just was one big mocking of my pal and mine. Originally we had about 40 bites, which - due to a lack of fortune - resulted just in one single catch. Had some six to seven hooked and, unfortunately, lost all of them while drilling. Might be due to their size, many were pretty small - that in combination with a size 14-hook, well...

Yesterday was a better day though. We had a nice session yesterday - rudd and roach were targeted again. Used chickpea-flour with a combination of almond, corn and vanilla-aroma to chum the fish, fished on sweet corn with almond- and vanilla-flavour.

Two hours in, twelve catches. Then switched to pike and wasted 5 hours worth of calories in throwing spinners out to empty reed fields hahaha. My old lady also could be convinced to give it a try - and manged to drill two fish herself (including all steps from baiting over casting to catching releasing), now she literally is hooked to fishing and will get herself a license.

So yeah, I could be the happiest man on earth if it wasn't for one thing: I need to figure out how to burn down the office without being framed so I can enjoy more time out fishing instead of staring at this screen here, hahaha.

Those are nice fish, from my match fishing days I can tell you that roach/rudd hybrids do occur likewise roach/bream hybrids

Certainly so. I think most beginning fisher(wo)men start off with these two red-finned fish as - in my opinion - they are a pretty easy game. Perfect for relaxed sessions.
