So I'm new to fishing. Started on the river and then over to the commercials. With commercials focussed on carp - hey presto I'm slowly joining the carpers.
Having good fun enjoying my local lakes and learning eachtime I go out. Even eneded up buying matching kit to keep up with the neighbours!!
At some fisheries I catch fish with goofy mouths - obviously "catch damage."
As a fish lover before I became a fisherman - how do I avoid this other than the obvious (no barbs and braid hook length)?
Should I land quickly by pulling in ASAP?
Should I play and land at leisure?
Or are you going to tell me it's something in between?
Help appreciated...
