Re: Hi I’m Andy and I’m a Carpaholic
I fish some stretches of the Yarra n ole ty that are quite thin and very snaggy.. Due to having the light gear I just try turn there heads as they peel the line.. My biggest is 81cm on 6lbDownrigger wrote:Glad you're a carp fisho Gav! I'm using one of our 802 combos with a 3000 size reel and 3 or 6 kilo line. You need a bit of grunt at this spot because the carp are a good size and the river has a lot of weeds and snags. Good luck today and I would be very grateful for an update on how you go, AndyBIG GAV wrote:Great report!! Awesome catches! I hate catching eels but I'd happily hold one that size for a photo!!
What gear are u using for carp?
I love carp fishing! Good way to scratch the itch when not much else is on offer!! Or not a lot of time to spare!
I generally run 6lb braid and leader to a #4 bait holder or 1/0 circle if using worms! Strapped to a 1-3 kg rod. N I'll be damned if it's not fun catching anything over 40cm!
Hoping to get my nephew his first carp today
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

Hey Andy. Im totally blown away with the euro carp scene and their tactics. Seen the float rig you use before and have always wondered why braid as the leader??? Have always used a mono/fluro leader as to not spook fish.......this is the total oposite!! What am i missing

Re: Hi I’m Andy and I’m a Carpaholic
Good recommendation but for sure I'd end up gluing the cat biscuits to my fingers. I have got some here so will try burleying with them though. Thanks for the tip, AndyNude up wrote:Try super gluing cat biscuitsto your hook and watch them slurp them in

Re: Hi I’m Andy and I’m a Carpaholic
carp fishing is highly underrated in Aus. Even by those fish who dont just fish for a feed.
Its a good back for when the bays are blown out. Down by the river bank it can be sheltered and you could be anywhere even when only in a melbourne suburb. Dragging a kayak up and down some of the yarras rapids to get to some of the less accessible spots is a good adventure on a nioce day
Its the rubbish thats left behind at popular spots that ***** me.
