i’ve caught lots of rudd nearly 50 – 60 in 6 hrs. but it can be quite annoying always catching rudd. the heaviest i’ve caught is 5-11 0z.

I have caught several 2 to 3 lb. Rudd this spring and brought them home to add variety to my Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, assorted Sunfish, and Bullhead pond. They’re lots of fun to catch, I use red worms and flies. There’s one thing I’d like to know though. Do they taste good? I have never tried one and I’m wondering if smoking them is the way to go. Anybody have any input?

Thanks,
Angelo

ive recently caught 3 large rudd,2lb6 0z,2lb9oz,2lb130z,along with 1lb60z and 1lb90z,and on the water i fish i believe there are even bigger rudd possibly 4lbers.my method is to swim feed using mixed brown/white crumb with some mashed sweetcorn for groundbait using either popped up sweetcorn or breadflake on a size 16 hook.

you have to pop up sweetcorn because rudd are not bottom feeders,they will try to get at a bottom bait by nudging the bait up before taking it.

fishing the way i do is great sport for rudd,i use 3lb line straight through with a daiwa tornado quiver rod.
