They're not for me.
I don't mind the odd one now and again but the complete saturation of the damned things in so many waters puts me right off.
A carp was a bit of a rarity and something special when I was a kid, in the main they're just an obstacle to avoid for me nowadays.
I still can't help but admire the few half decent, mainly commons that I tend to catch each season though.
I like them but wouldn't order it over scallops or a nice piece of lemon sole . . . . .
Yes I like Carp and so does the tackle trade that without Carp would not be doing as well as it is and even then we see regular tackle shop closures. All tackle innovations nowadays come from 2 places, Carp fishing and match fishing and I don't know of anyone from both disciplines that complain about catching them.
I like catching all fish yes even Bream on the right tackle in the right conditions and as anyone that has fished for big ones they are no mug fish. Carp as all other fish can be very difficult or very easy to catch no different and that applies now as it always did.
On the 2 forums I use I see derogatory remarks about Carp and the anglers that fish for them, mud pigs is a favourite for some posters the anglers are drunken drugged up yobs, they sleep while their rods are out they leave litter etc etc. Well the Carp anglers I see/know are not like this so I will ask just one question, who leaves the rubbish on waters/rivers that have no carp or low stocks of them?
I will never understand why others have this attitude when they choose to fish waters that are well stocked with them (waters that probably wouldn't exist without Carp) there are lots of places that have low numbers of Carp, look for those waters, fish rivers, don't fish that oh so convenient commie and then moan about catching Carp. That though would entail doing a little work though wouldn't it?
some carp anglers will leave litter get drunk but that's the type of people they are wether they Re carp fishing or not , they will drink in parks and throw litter
There are plenty of coarse anglers that leave cans and tins in their swim get drunk and shout
It should be down to the fishery owners to stop that type of behaviour carp or coarse angles
I agree with the crow carp anglers are lab bled up as young drunk or drugged up yobs . It's the tar brush affect . I fish for carp but on different methods . What's wrong with a float lift style in the margins ?
