macbilly Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just been looking at some great pics of carp being caught on the pole.Never tried it myself but it is a very admirable form of fishing.However it could be hard here with the size of our average carp.NSW does produce some fantastic carp fishing both in size and numbers,so it would be interesting to hear from pole anglers about their catches,how about guys? cheers. macbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zammmo Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Used to fish for carp on the pole, the one thing I will say is match your pole and your elastic to the size of the fish you are after. An example is,I once caught a 12lb+ carp on a number 3 elastic Iwas actually fishing for Crusian carp at the time.It took me 45 minutes to land and to be honest it was'nt much fun...

That is pretty epic, how you didn't get you elastic snapped il never know haha. I fish coarse pools for mainly small carp an tench, biggest carp I've caught is 7.5 lb so not massive, I quite enjoy it, it's what me and my dad love to do together, then I go off on my own with my rods for bigger carp. It's fun, but wouldn't advise catching monsters on a pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
