Welcome
fellow specimen hunters, this site is dedicated to a very specialised sport
indeed....yes, carp fishing. Not all carp fishermen started life as carp
specialists, but a great number seem to end up totally addicted to the sport
and fishing for nothing else and just catching carp.
I
have thought long and hard about just what it is that attracts so many fishing
fans, after all catching carp often demands long stays on lake or river
banks at hard fished venues, sometimes running into weeks at a time.
Most serious carp fishing fishermen
are men over the age of 20, mostly married with families. Yet they snub
they comforts of home for a smelly sleeping bag, a damp bivvy, carp tackle and a wait
for a "run" that can take so long it never arrives.
Constant aggravation
from partners and wives does not deter us, even the resulting divorces fail
to stop us! I have met many a carp specialist that has been issued the ultimatum:
"That's it! It's ME or CARP!"
Guess who won.
I think the answer
is to be found, not at the river or lake bank, but when we are away from
there, whilst we are doing the things that keep us from our sport, at work
or at home.
Carp fill our
minds and govern our emotions. The thoughts of catching carp and fishing for them are
always whizzing round our heads. New ideas, shopping for carp tackle, new tactics and concotions of
carp bait, most of them failing our expectations miserably after the first try.
Now is the time
our love for catching carp is permanently forged, the preparation, making of carp baits,
tying carp rigs in front of the telly...."this one is sure to catch that
monster we know is in the lake."
Each time we
plan a trip it's like a buying lottery ticket. We have to wait for the draw,
the excitement, the anticipation, the disappointments and the rewards.
Mix these, the
most powerful of emotions, with the memories of tranquil summer sunsets,
frosty winter mornings, the odd spiral of kettle steam rising above a line
of dew-covered bivvys at dawn. Throw in a handful of men and women and mix
with the most powerful and elusive of all freshwater fish, and you have
a recipe for a sport that will be around forever, constantly growing in
popularity.
I
have tried to cover all aspects of the sport and thrown in some tips that
will save you money and maybe help you catch more carp.
