Thanks mate.

Went down to parra river last week because i got rained of at work and nothing better to do. Anyway i started around 12pm and finished at dusk caught 12 carp all over 600mm and they where going off like marlin when i was setting the hook i put it down to the oxygenated water. Great session and i'll be back this weekend. Cant figure out how to upload images anymore so any advice would be appreciated.
-
I myself fish with 8lb to 10lb traces for any carp, not as many hits with the heavy lines but quality fish when they do take it.
-
Also mac if your local and want to go for a fish in that area, i've got spare rod alarms and the like just send me a pm to know when your keen.
-
I think i use hair rigs, thats bait under an exposed hook right? Anyway my rig consists of 10lb trace 1m in length my bait is fished under an exposed no 8 snell, then tied of to my 6lb main line.
-
Just good old corn on a hair rig mate, i don't use any complicated methods. And i'm getting them out of the canal near the cbd in parra.
-
Yeah i always take my camera with me its as important as bait, all i have to do now is figure out how to post them again. It's been a while

Got sick of flicking lure's over the summer so i thought i'd get some carping in last saturday, got to parra around lunch time and in 3 hours had 4 fish averaging 9kgs.

Going down to the parramatta river this afternoon, anyone on here keen for a fish?
-
I used to go out and buy expensive flurocarbons but found something a hell of alot cheaper and out fished it. Now don't laugh till you've tried it but its stocked at your local Bigw store, Jarvis Walker Quality mono 6lb 1400m for under $5. Don't shy off it because of the breaking strain either i've caught 15lb fish in difficult conditions on this stuff without a problem. Good luck with the fishing.

Also mate if your still in the sydney area on sat the 16th i can show you a good spot in the parramatta area where your sure to catch at least one around 5 - 9kgs. Reply tonight if your keen. Cheers

Mate i stayed in the same park and baited up a good spot. Walking distance from the boat ramp, if you follow the track from the boat ramp on your right, you'll come to an opening with a fallen tree on your left. I fished here for a couple of days, got a few runs, but my gear wasn't good enough for the fish. Check it out, it's worth a try. Ausfisher ps. sweetcorn as bait.
-
It was a slow days fishing but managed two commons to 5kgs, this place is worth checking out a word of advice though make sure you have a big net. Cheers

Going to fish the canal running through parra tomorrow should be a good day, plenty of species to target but all the same there have been some cracking carp caught.....
