Re: Grass Carp nr tewkesbury

lol yes from reading around on the net they are shy little devils..... i guess the answer is just scale everything down to lighter gear and be a little more stealthy so not to spook them..... i dont know!

think they have some where we are going in france i would love to get one but from looking around online there is no specific way to target them

Re: Grass Carp nr tewkesbury

a lake i used to fish in surrey stocked about 100 of these all about the 1lb mark the first season we were catching these on any bait you can think off (even lumps of branstan pickle) the thing is after that season the little buggers went into hiding and carnt be found

LOL I think you just answered what happened to the fish in the Floods Richard. I expect there's a few exotic species in the Avon & Severn now. Probably a few Catfish too
