Coarse Fishing

Nice piece of cod for ABM,  and in bread crumbs as well  

Hope you enjoy , but not course fishing ABM

Had some fantastic days at my local pond , over the last month. Caught Bream, Skimmers, Roach, Rudd, Tench, and Perch, weights must have been in the mid twenties. All on maggot, corn and bread.

Don’t have too much knowledge of course fish, why are they called that I wonder? However, isn’t a skimmer just an intermediate form of the bream? Like brown trout are to sea trout, rainbow to steel head and jack pike to pike. I was once told by an angler that skimmers are generally young bream but some close to maturing can breed. 
Fascinating to know that those course fish mentioned, along with perch and others, can all be found in the Baltic Sea, even in areas of higher salinity. They also were once found in the higher reaches of the Humber Estuary but not many these days by all accounts as it is pretty much devoid of all fish due primarily to pollution. About time we sorted our rivers and coastal waters out me thinks.

I understand Coarse as in Coarse Fishing means the freshwater fish that are not used for food ( nowadays ) are defined as Coarse. Hope this Helps

Every day is a school day, as they say and long may that continue. I also spelled coarse incorrectly so it’s been a good learning day for me!😊 Thanks HH, that explanation seems sensible.👍
