Gengar Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Been wanting to post this earlier but been busy at work and at home. Anyway wanted to report back on the fishing trip in mudgee on the Cudgegong River that i had asked for some advice Anyway we spent probably 3 hours fishing over 3 days and caught 13 carp (one was even a crucian carp i believe) and one red fin. The carps were all caught on sweet corns in a can and kids had a blast cos they just had to cast it out, put the rods in the holders and muck around while waiting for the fish to hook itself. The best part for the kids were the carps were all massive! The smallest was probably about 50cm but most were in the 60+cm range. I didnt weigh any of them but i reckon they would have been easily 2kg. One of the damn carps even broke my telescopic net! I caught the red fin 37cm on a prawn vibe and it was a great tasting fish! Too bad there weren't more of them! All in all a great trip and lots of fun! Edited August 22, 2023 by Gengar 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well worth waiting for your report Gengar. Great fun taking kids Carp fishing. Carp are pretty good fighters and take a variety of baits so usually the kids don't have to wait long to catch them. Always worth taking the rods with you, eh? Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A nice redfin for something different. The bigger carp can put up a fight on light gear, the big tail gives them some speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, bn Always worth taking the rods and doing some research beforehand! Those damn carps are def good fighters which is why the kids had lots of fun. No wonder they are just a pest as can't imagine anything else eating them. We ended giving the carps to the gardener who will use it to feed the farm animals haha Never caught a freshwater fish on lures before so ticked that off the bucket list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
