odins_eye Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hello, coming over from the uk in the new year and will initially be living in Sydney. Are there many/any carp fishing lakes/rivers within a few hours (2-3) of the city or do you need to go further? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luked Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Loads, both in the city and outside, all depends on whether you want fast easy fishing for "smaller" hungrier carp or to put a bit more time and effort in for larger, older and warier fish When are you coming over? Feel free to PM me if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odins_eye Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ha ha! Good news! Generally go for better fish but sometimes nice to get some action to reasure yourself that your not doing it all wrong! Can't see myself getting over before the new year being realistic, but thanks for the offer mate! Good to know that I'll still be able to do some carping, as well as having a go for all the new exotics! What sort of sizes are about?

luked Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 average size is mid to late double largest fish I know of being caught that is still swimming is 43lb most would class a mid 20-30 as a really good fish (if weights are your thing?) they fight like raging bulls and most of them have not been caught before or at least not very often. As I said let me know when you come over, more than happy to give you some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpmental Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey there. I been here 4 yrs now and never been carp fishing as always here bad story's of having to kill them. Which I would never ever think of doing. I was a mad keen carp angler back in north west England an jus can't go any longer with out the exciting chase for a Wiley old carp. Not to mention the fight. If anyone knows of any waters in or close to Sydney that would be amazing. I do prefer quieter waters where it a mystery what may bite but at this point any where to put a bend in my rod would be awesome. Please feel free to msg me with any info or even take me out for a bit o fishing. I'm keen asan in nneed of this. Haha. Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
