Thats what i love so much about this site , theres always someone willing to help or give really good helpful advice . Great place .

 

Bigd it dont matter whether you are black , white or sky blue , pink with yellow dots mate , thats the great thing about Carp fishing , anybody can do it if they are willing to learn , which some are not :)

 

It obviously is a great help if you have previous fishing experience which by the sounds of it you have .

Big game fishing in the west indies appeals to me and i can see , from that , why Carp fishing appeals to you .

Myself , my fishing background comes from years of sitting on canals and park lakes as a kid fishing for tiddlers .

 

Its what i like to call "the apprenticeship" and the experience stands you in good stead for when you decide to venture into the carp world , and your experiences in the Windies will be of help to you .

Particuarly in Fish handling i suspect .

 

As you know , there is always somebody on here willing to help so anything you need to know just ask .

As Phil (chillfactor) and CM will tell you , learn the basic stuff , get fishing , and the more advanced stuff is just a natural progression from there .

 

Enjoy your session with Phil , you'll learn loads .

 

I wish i could join you . I think i would benefit from his experience too :wink:

Had a quick browse on the net bigd ... there are a few day ticket waters around your area ,but there holes in the ground and I was hoping to find something with a bit more character for us to fish , where we might actually need to use a bit of water craft to locate the fish .

I've got a mate who lives out that way who's a good angler I'll get hold of him and see if he knows of any hidden gems for us to fish .

Have you got any ideas mate yourself ?

Right mate , think the best we can do without driving miles for a short day session is orchard lake on the Arden lakes complex .

not somewhere I would ever think of fishing normally but should be good for you to get a bend in the rod , and at least it's tree lined and got a bit of age to it + a few fish over 20lb to keep me interested .

there's a ban on boilies so hemp & corn, spam and pellets are the order of the day .... what do you think ?

It's a shame you guys aren't doing this the week after next as I'd love to join in. I'm mad busy with work all next week but I could pinch a day off the following week.

 

I've fished Orchard Pool at Arden Fishery many times (prefer The Bowl, tbh) and may be able to offer some pointers. Oh well.
