I cant wait to get back over to AUS, and when I get there I am heading for the Gippsland for sure. Only a few more months to go just intime for the spring when they will be heavier and showing themselves properly after the colder weather.

 

So your not the only mad one from the area stokecarper. I'm just not there at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up. Ill keep you upto date as well. My brother in law is a environmental engineer and does allot of work in the gippsland area. He has told me on many occassions that some very big carp have scarred the life out of him in some of the creeks when he has been studying the catchment areas. He thinks I'm mad as, going after the carp but is starting to understand why. The australian carp scene is just what Im after. It is going to be a new experiance very different to the UK carp scene!!

 

The area is otherwise an excellent place to start and its were I will concentrate on when I move over. Im back in the UK now but am trying to pull my move over to Aus as quickly as I can. Keep me updated. PS: im not convinced about Lake Gutheridge having many bigguns. I saw to many carp hanging up in the trees on lake gyatt to expect any of the bigguns to still be in there. Who knows time will tell.

Interested really as I was down in Sale last week having a quick look at the lakes in that area. There are a few in sale that look promising. I had a look at lake wellington and lake victoria but the carp scene there has died because the water environment agency have flooded the lakes by opening the sea dames to top the local water levels up. Also the size of them is too daunting.

 

The sad bit is I am going back to the UK this week and will have to wait for my chances to get the rods out. But I will be back soon armed and ready. The creeks just north of Sale were the real eye openers back in spring when the carp were spawning.
