Condition were perfect - a nice warm day, but the Carp didn't exactly see it that way. Got this little fella and one when I packed up to go home.
Same size, but I assure you, they are different fish!

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
27th January 2024 Headed out to Natimuk today for a bit of a bike ride. Rode from the town out to Mt. Arapiles to Mitre Rock, 'round Mitre Lake, then headed to Natimuk Lake and back into town. Did about 37kms all up. On the way back to Stawell, I stopped by my favourite spot along the Wimmera River...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
20th January 2024 Went back to my new-found 'new' spot trying to replicate last sessions results. It didn't go to plan, despite the good weather and increased confidence levels - but I guess that's fishing. Only got one, but I was getting a few bites - small hooks seem to be the trick in this local...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
14th January 2024 When it rains, it pours. Did more harvesting in my new-found honey-hole, including a huge chunk just shy of 80cm. He was just sitting there. I caught him within 20seconds of showing up. I thought I sight-casted him, as he definitely saw my bait and swam over to it, and after about...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
I finally did it, I caught a f$%^ing fish! I spent a few days up in Stawell to see the old man and it absolutely pissed down the whole time I was there. Did head out to the Wimmera River briefly, but it was absolutely heaving when we got there. Should provide good fishing when it settles down though...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
Despite my lack of success over the Christmas period, I did manage to snag a couple in a new location in metro Melbourne on New Year's day. I should have got at least half a dozen, but the hooks I was using were too big and I missed a lot of bites. I planned a return bout today, but the Melbourne we...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
I've turned to song to describe my lack of fishing success over the Christmas period: I've been everywhere man, I’ve been everywhere man, Across the desert it’s bare man, I’ve breathed the mountain air man, Of travel I’ve had my share, man I’ve been everywhere… I’ve been to: Fyans, Bellfield, Lonsda...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
Headed down to the creek today for a quick fish after work. Hunted around for some worms with a hand-hoe I bought from Bunnings, but it was pretty dry and only found the solitary one, despite all the rain we've recently had. I was totally expecting the worm/corn combo to get devoured, but it was the...
