bobcullen79 1,495 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Just wondering,have the carp woken up round your way yet? The suns been cracking the flags round here for the last 2 weeks or so and the lakes have well woken up,Ive had a good 20 mid and high doubles off the top and the bottom,from a few lakes,with the biggest being a scabby,dark 20lb4 Oz common. Well glad the suns on its way,where the fishing is concerned any way. Anyone else been doin ok? Tightlines,Rob. Quote Link to post
ratattack 111 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Plenty moving where i fish.....far away from the bivvy brigade!!! Must've had 300lb of carp cruising around where i was piking last weekend, not one anywhere near a carp bait though Had a chuckle to myself as they were merrily taking bread from my sarnies off the top Quote Link to post

Always the way ratattack,gotta find them to catch them. harder fishing canals/rivers than an oversized pond there are still a couple of fish in my water that have yet to have a hook in them. a run will result in a wildy from 10lb to the common/mirror which range from around 15lb-30lb. personaly, i target the pike,only ever fished for the carp once which was around 17yrs ago and had an 18lb 2oz common within 15mins ,made good eating..... joking did piss the carp boys off though who sit it out for days at a time and often blank get on it pal Quote Link to post

Totally agree, it seems modren carp fisherman believe that setting up camp for days and bunging 10's of pounds of boilies will bring fish to them!!! Makes me laugh everytime i see a wheelbarrow full of kit going up the bank They do look at me strangely as i wander past with a couple of rods and a rucksack, not often i blank unlike most of them One guy i spoke to last year had had 2...yes 2 carp not big ones either in 2 years of fishing this area reckon i would sell my kit if i had that luck! Gonna go feed them again today when i go piking later...may even slip a hook on a dog biscuit and show em how it's done keep at em bob Quote Link to post
