glennmreid Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Headed off to my local carp spot today. It was pretty slow going. Plenty of fish, but they seemed a bit spooky. Probably saw Uncle Chop Chop was back to even a score Hooked into 1 good fish, and lost it after a 10 minute battle. Not long after that, hooked into a bigger fish ! This fish was peeling line off the reel. One thing I have never seen, it was jumping out of the water during the battle. If I was up north in Queensland or the Northern Territory, I swear I hooked a good Barramundi Today it was the carp version of Barra After a 15 minute battle, I managed to bring in a 68cm/4kg carp, my Personal Best I am sure there are bigger monsters out there!

glennmreid Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks Paul, Had great fun. It is great that only a couple of km's down the road that I can do battle with these freshwater fatties and test out the new rods and drag on the new reels that I recently purchased from go fish.Great store!

Guest Big-Banana Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 One of my favourite fish, due to the costs involved in targeting them and the fun they give when they're hooked. Top stuff mate! My dam used to have these guys up to around 10kg, absolute bruisers on ***** 1kg gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennmreid Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi PJ, Nice fish. Whereabouts did you catch them? Do you have a good local carp spot? It would be nice to get into some 8kg+ fish. I bet they are real buggers to bring in. Hi Uncle Chops Nice fish... although by the sounds there is gonna be a definite challenge for Carp King.
