barry211 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 been a maggot drowner for a good few years, accidently caught my first carp and have now decided its the way to go. often go fishing with my daughter (12) and between us we are figuring out all of the new tackle and rigs. based in Suffolk and use a few venues around Waveney. this little beauty and the fight have made me change tack to targetting carp finchey, commonly and kevtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Welcome to Carp.com. Suffolk Man and daughter, I'm Ipswich based myself although right now this second I'm not too far away from you, on a line between Little Ouse and Waveney.

barry211 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 sounds good, we try a few different waters as still finding my feet in all of this, have gone from float and method feeder set ups to learning to tie my own rigs it has been huge fun. still set up one rod on float for tench/bream but have now started sticking out a carp rod away from my daughters pole rig and very loose catapult and caught a few good size carp. i have to admit it is fun getting an indication and watching the reel go nuts salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart is a good guy, very good fishery manager and cares for his fish and the angler's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you buddy , welcome to the forum. i noticed when i caught it, luckily the venue i was at had some lads in a bivvy near my swim so legged it for a dab of carp care and they helped out as i was not expecting to catch it as targetting bream at the time but loved the fight it gave newmarket, ouchthathurt and crusian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry211 Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Not something I ever carried but have a little bottle now as dirt cheap so no reason not to get one, had no idea of the stuff carp anglers can pick up but learning fast and draining wallet quicker 🤣 ouchthathurt, crusian and newmarket 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
