What is it about fishermen complain about skimmer/bream or carp. I’m not a carp fisher but do catch them the same as I catch bream.
There’s been many a time that a bream or 2 have saved the day without going home blanking
Just go back to when you was a kid starting out fishing on a river or pond. For me it was rivers (River Lea- Lea navigation - River Beane & River Mimram) catching minnow by the bucket load, small Rudd, Bleak, Gudgeon, Dace, then you caught a skimmer/Bream you was jumping for joy tell all our mates I’ve just caught a big one, it might only have been 1.1/2 lb but it a fish to shout about as a kid.
Yes Bream can be slimy so are eels?
I have had many a good day catching bream on the Shannon and in Holland
All I’m saying is don’t knock these fish they can save the day sometimes be it Bream or Carp we are ment to be fishermen!!!
