KINGvirgin Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 having not been out for a while and under stress with my practical work experience in a high school i was really looking forward to this long weekend, as i had a really bad fishing bug... u know that sort that drives you crazy and you cant function without thinking of fishing and the only cure of course is to go fishing. well having seen the weather outlook for the weekend yesterday ( not promising) i had given up hope. until i heard some pitter patter on my roof early this morning you see today was meant to be a school athletics carnival, being a teacher it was my duty to help run it, but with rain gods on display it was cancelled. Even better news at 9:30am my supervisor says to go home as their was nothing for me to do. so im sitting at home reading all these fantastic reports wishing i was fishing, when i stumble across some real oldies, one in particular about a local park with a lake/pond full of carp, to me it was now or never so armed with about 4 layers of clothes, some hastily made dough and a few slices of bread i whipped away 10 mins down the road and began a new experience. I burleyed up with some bread which stirred up a feeding frenzy.... of ducks and geese! after some smart diversion work i lured the feathered brigade away and began fishing in peace. All was quiet and i was feeling much better, then out of nowhere BANG!!!!!!! my dough bait was smashed and a few seconds later their is a serial pest bought to the surface, it wasnt big but still put up a fairly good show, however in my attempt to cut it off for the bushes the sucker spat the hook and shot off. Over the next hour this continued with many hooked but only a few actually ended up where they belonged , out of the water. Eventually my bait supply was exhausted and i went home a semi-happy man took some action shots for giggles, spared any shots of the carp which to me dont warrant a picture. the white goose did a good job of honking away any other unwanted company. cheers IAN PS sorry for the long and sad report, but i was really bored!

KINGvirgin Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 nice report, where abouts can you go carp fishing in sydney? ive got a big man made lake near me, that i wana give a shot, but havnt had the chance Im not sure exactly, im sure the fresh water rivers might be a try. Otherwise there are plentiful man made lakes all throughout. I updated my profile becoz sydney was obviously a very vague place to say where im from The place i went to was called Plumpton Park which is a nature reserve in surburbia. I did kinda feel a bit silly rocking up with a fishing rod ! all the best on those carp, its a good way to kill an hour or 2 cheers Ian mate i know that feeling when you've not been fishing for a while and craving bad for it. mee too i was very disappointed to see the forecast for the weekend. 4m+ swells, forget about any type of rock fishing but may be beach fishing might be good...think about it good report mate cheers bertrand 95% of my fishing is off the rocks, thats why this weekend was a no goer.( the forecast gets worse by day) i wouldnt mind trying off the beach but i only use light gear so i could probably spit further than a cast but i will try it one day.... looks like a quiet weekend with the is on the cards, might take her out to see shrek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lata Raida Waynie I get that feeling too. Especially when a large group of people gather behind you to watch. It's also bad when people walk past and offer stupid comments.

Lata Raida Waynie Yeah Plumpton Park... the best access is Wren Tce which is off Sanctuary Dr i think. I am sure Nurragingy has many a carp too though its much too populated for me to try.

Thunder Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 You must be desperate fishing for carp !!! In our local dam, the duck population has been decreasing. People wrote into the papers complaining, thinking someone was killing them. It turns out, there are huge eels in the dam and they have been eating the ducks. Maybe try some meat for bait, you may catch a big eel instead of a carp. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
