hmm... i'll pass on eating carp thank :/ rather eat an old boot

nice work on the flatties.

$750 to fish there? stuff that! do they want them gone of not?

summer of winter, it doesnt worry them. I dont have much experience with carp yet but i have noticed in my spot that in summer they are more likely to top feed and go in the shallows, during winter they stay in the deeper water. not sure if its the same everywhere tho.

gah! i need a boat that i can take off shore. my 10 foot punt just wont do! nice snapper! good to see the season has started!

if peope recognised the sport in catching them there might be less too.

yup carp seem to be in just about any body of fresh water!

browns in the nepean? I have herd of this before but have never heard of any catches... have to try it one day.

I spent 2.5 hrs yesterday in the upper georges river carp fishing. I just used white bread with chook pellets for burley. managed two fish in that time, they werent huge but they were big enough... The first cam in at just under 4kg and was missing a pectoral fin. this is the second fish i have caught with a missing pectoral fin now. the second fish was a mere 2.6kg but pulled a lot harder so initially i thought it was a much bigger fish. the difference being it was in better overall condition and a lot leaner not a bad day all up.

nice going! salmon are probably one of my fave fishes to chase. such good fighters!

big eye in narrabeen... well i never! nice session there! well dine!

Nice going. Love pigs, great fun to catch!

nice work. makes for a tasty meal!

cool catch! its been a while since i have fished the harbour, but i havent seen any that size around.

wirrah! always a throw back... drummer are always fun this time year. most other fish are off the bite. nice catch!

how did you get those "records" in your signature?

yup they pull hard no matter the season. I call them river donkeys...

none of the ponds are allowed to be fished in the campbelltown area. council hands out fines... however once a year council organises a catch a carp competition in one of its many lakes. this year it was eagle vale. stacks of fish were caught, the largest was about 64cm if i remember correctly. this was back in april.

no, you are allowed to release them back into the same water they were caught... being a pest species it is preferable that you dont tho. this is an area that usually causes alot of arguments. read this http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/pests-diseases/freshwater-pests/species/carp/groups/recreational-fishers#catch

need more carp-a thons. those numbers are scary!

hi jdanger, i have heard they do....

upper georges river from liverpool to campbelltown is my haunt. stacks of massive carp there... bread for bait is best. i use chook pelets for berley. I refuse to spend up big on bait for them.

yup stacks of carp in every water system that has fresh component. i fish the upper georges river for carp near campbelltown. they only seem to come in one size and thats monsterous. you dont have to kill them but i consider it helping the environment with a quick dispatch.
