newmarket Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi Antony welcome to the forum , cant really offer any advice on the french carp scene never having been , except to say that in my opinion , ask questions , read up lots and get as much experience as you can before fishing for big Carp as match fishing expertise wont help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi Antony, match to week in France wow! Â Optimism is a good start! Â Sorry can't help with fishing in France as the first and only time I've ever fished there was when I was 12, on the Seine, 3 metre whip to hand and I blanked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmarket Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 No mate it never appealed to me it all looked a little bit frantic and , well , un-fish friendly to me . In my humble opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm new to big carp fishing thanks again  I've done a lot of match fishing and quite a bit of carping I apologise if i offended you young man there is absolutely no reason to rear up so aggressively .  I have no wish to drag a lot of small carp about a lake , unhooking 'em and throwing them into a net in one motion by the hundred, potentially damaging them , in the name of monetary reward and call it angling .  Im sure there is a lot that specimen anglers can learn from match fisherman with regard to baiting and feeding patterns but as far as i can see that is where the similarity ends .  In my opinion again of course . I wont bother with the smiley this time . welder and muftyboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
