FOR several years, Hampshire angler Rod Fowler has been pursuing crucians on a southern stillwater. Only fishing day sessions, he’s enjoyed some great results, but that dream four-pounder always eluded him.
That was until a recent session, where he landed not one, but two crucians over the magic mark, the first going 4lb, the other weighing an impressive 4lb 3oz.
On the same session, Rod added four other crucians between 2lb 12oz and 3lb 6oz, all of which fell to corn fished on a Method feeder 40 yards out.
