sounds like every man and his dog has been fishing in the wrong spot and watching too much korda karp fishing. But ive fished a water in sleepy suffolk where the bream did go big and in big sholes 500 or so, the carp did go to 40s. and in one swim by, the bream could and would eat all put infront of them. Again all about educatiion and knowing your water. but too many take the korda karp approach..
