Why I don't like carp

[Cakey]

believe that and you will believe anything

I know it is the case on most of the waters i fish i dont like fishing overstocked lakes a couple of the pis i fish are over a hundred acres and have roughly 30-50 carp in them.

 

[Malc Bason]

Which pits are they then Benny, just out of interest loik?

 

[Benny The Bream]

Wraysbury 1 and 2 and kingsmead islands (although i havent fished kingsmead islands for a while and i believe a few stockies have got through from an adjoining lake and when they are caught they are returned to the other lake)

What does loik mean?

I carp were stocked at say no more than 0.25 fish per acre it might be a better idea all over.

And if they could be neutered to prevent breeding?

 

[Malc Bason]

W1 & W2 are 120 and 140 acres respectively, although I thought the stocking levels were a little higher than that?

Kingsmead Island is about 50 acres.

Kingsmead 1 is overstocked in my humble opinion - at 400 carp in 30 acres!!!

 

[Cakey]

my fish tank is well over stocked then !

 

[Frothey]

rock 'ard though







never managed to hook a fish in my tank.

Think you are getting mixed up there is K1 (more like 30 acres and does contain 400 carp) and K2(kingsmead islands which is 50 acres but does not contain 400 carp)
