Here here Chris! I have had the chance to fish with some of the Cag members and all i can say that they have done wonders for the past time in the states. From a handful of expats it has now grown to about 8000 members plus other off shot societies as well. Carp fishing is big business now, tackle, guided trips, etc. Australians just don't realise how much money they could make having carp tourists coming to their shores... hell parts of spain would be totally stuffed if they didn't have these tourists coming in!
