I'm a new member, so no pictures of recent fish.
Hmmmm...Yeah...river Carp. I'm yet to nail into one yet but have my eye on a huge shoal that reside in a large midlands river. These fish are huge, the largest on which is a common that is scarey. I was fishing with my sister last summer and we saw one of them close and she threw down the rod and refused to fish...yes they are that big!!! My, mate has had a twenty from close by. I suppose the really important thing is local knowledge and seriously baiting up. So, Three weeks before the start of the season I'm really gonna hit the vitalin, then fish with a large boilie - after trickling in a good few of the weeks. I'm optimistic but nervous cos if i catch the big common all hell is gonna break loose. River carping IS gonna be my summer. So, watvh out an see what turns up on my photo album!!! Well, gotta stay optimistic.
Lucky fish 2 ya.
