I will soon be going to fish for carp at Woodlands Lakes at Carlton Minniot, near Northallerton, Nth Yorks.
I haven't fished for carp before, so what sizes of carp should I expect to catch?
Does anyone know the record fish for that venue? Which lake & peg should I try to get?
Will a 10ft kingfisher float rod be up to the task? (it's all I have - boo hoo!)
What breaking strain line/hooklengths should I use?
I have a decent reel though - Shimano Nexave(silver handled one).
How would I play a decent carp out with my set-up, if I hooked into one? I normally use the drag, so should I let it take the line when it runs - even if it goes into other peoples' swims? or try and turn it before it goes too far?
Any and all tips welcome.
Cheers
