Don't mind a big bream myself, not had a bream since the brace i had out of pine pool, one of the reasons i carry scales and a camera today, both were easy doubles and that is all i will say on size guessing that catch, the ranger was very interested when told, very few bream in that water and very old they may of been in there since before pine pool and surrounding smaller waters were cut into one lake.

A proper sized bronze bream, abramis brama is the latin name. If you think that 6lb is probably the average size, that is definitely a good fish.😉

I did see this. Cracking fish isn't it. Another one in there like that which is even bigger..

I had a couple of big bream during a carp session, both 9's. It prompted me to go to tackle more suited for them and target them. Two doubles was the result, a 10.4 and a 12.

I didn’t say cleaner I said clearer Lol

open water I would find a prominent place where I can see a lot of water in a short space of time And break it up into a couple of sections make a quick brew or watch for 20 mins or so then move to another spot and do the same. but check under the snags whilst walking to the above areas in this weather I would be checking these spots thoroughly first on the side where the sun is actually hitting the water Just keep moving around and follow the sun if this side is shallower then even better I think fish are no different to us .they want the warmth on their bones but when it gets too uncomfortable want some shade To get out of it. At night weed is taking oxygen

Like carp the clearer the water the darker the fish colour it is a bream In the first pic

If you look at your Bream , Cromiee , and then Highys' Bream what a difference in colours ; any Bream I catch tend to be more a slate grey . grey . The heads of both yours and Highys' Bream look similar , and the bigger the Bream the more " slab" like they are i.e. much flatter than the more rounded body of a Carp . 😃

Yours was 9lb ??? This was only 8lb 5oz. (I think)

Hi so is this not a carp? one of my friends said ghost carp haha it was 9lb is that a good bream

Hi, That is a Common/Bronze Bream, Not a silver Bream. 👍

Not bad is it 😁

They have another one called spike which is even longer/bigger (50+) and bunch of others in their 40's. Gotta be the best lins in the country?

No worries can be a faff sometimes when you want to upload a few pics, tbanks for taking the time to show me. Looks pretty good stuff I might see what I can do with it, will get some. Ordered thanks

Have you seen the recent capture of the saddleback lin wow that is an amazing beast,

Sorry to pipe up but if you are a half decent angler you would know that bread is not good for them.
