Nice fish mate, thats what i love about it.....because of nature, taking photos and just being there can be enough for me. I moved from Liverpool to Berkshire 15 years ago all because of carp fishing!

Yes Brian, i used to fish over on linear manor farm back in the early 90's prior to day ticket when it was a syndicate....it got too busy for me after that!

That's what i thought!

The 700 is still a great camera and well within budget as there are plenty of bargains to be had, that would be my choice

When i was using a dx camera, i had the nikon 55-200, not a bad lens for the money, tbh though unless you need the reach then like posted above the 35 1.8 takes some beating. I had mine attached to my camera 99% of the time, very sharp and light......a great walkaround lens!

That'll be the little bream Melvyn, some biguns in there but there not easy to catch.........i always found lymm dam a good place to take pictures of kingfishers whilst not catching though!

I loved Lymm dam, a lovely place with great surroundings...... but i always tended to catch the bream lol

I love it....one of the reasons i moved from Liverpool to the sunny south east!

Grey mist brings back a few memories as i caught my pb from there. i lived in Runcorn for a few years and had a warrington aa ticket for a while and loved it over there.

Yateley is still going but under a different ownership nowadays......not the same place now unfortunately

That was a pretty decent fish for back then though mate, i fish around the wraysbury area nowadays but dont get as much time as i'd like due to work and family. I also run a Syndicate lake in chertsey, the biggest in there is nearly 60lb!

Totally agree, i opted for the 4g option with my new contact which works around the local area fine (Old Windsor) but travel a mile up the road and you struggle to even get 3g.....even though the service provider say its all a 4g area!

I'm just curious as plenty of carp anglers i know nowadays are really into photography also :-)

Cheers for the heads up, i'll pop over this afternoon and pick one up.

i bought my 4 year old a little 2nd hand sony cybershot for about £30.... he loves it. It's light and he takes some good little photos with it too!
