Hi all,
I have been a bit of a lurker on this site, I read the messages but only really contribute on the fly fishing forum as this is where my knowledge lies.
About 10 years ago I used to fish for roach, tench and carp in the pond across the road from where I still live. A couple of years later I moved on to fly fishing and have done this ever since.
I am 19 and a student. I fly fish about 2 or 3 times a week and have done all over the world. Fly fishing is my life, sad as it sounds.
Recently I have been watching a few tv programmes on fishing for carp and would really like to give it a decent go. When I used to do it, it used to be a half hearted effort, go over the road for a couple of hours with a couple of pieces of sweetcorn and I had no idea what I was doing. My biggest fish was about 8lbs - a nice fish but nothing big by todays standards!
What I am after is a kind person who is willing to show me the basics. Perhaps I could accompany them on a fishing trip (overnight included fishing???). I have no carp equipment at all, just myself. I am willing to travel more or less anywhere in the country. I live in Surrey. I am able to fish any day of the week given enough notice.
If anyone is willing to take me along on a fishing trip and provide any spare equipment they have I would be really grateful. I would really like to catch a decent sized carp, it was kind of a boyhood dream which I may be able to fulfil some years later.
If you are able to help please either replt to the thread or e-mail me at flyfishingguru@yahoo.com
Kind regards
Chris Cook
