[Carp never]

Hi, Pete,s the name fishings the game. Seriously back into it after a longtime in the wilderness. I cannot believe the changes in tackle and gear, am now registered disabled now due to poor eye sight. So I now have the time and luckily the money to indulge once more in my passion. And what,s with this obsession with carp in the states they are to be destroyed on sight saw one not kidding touching 80 lbs hacked to pieces with a spade. Pete

Welcome mate . to the forum

re the states .Carp in the states are treated the same as in Australia and a few other countries..They are vermin in those countries and are treated no worse than we in the uk treat animals that are vermin ..

Welcome to the Forum, a host of wise folks here.
R,E the US, There is a growing understanding/respect in the north east I understand. Once tackle manufactuers get into idea of making money from carp fishing then they will work to change attitudes. I travelled around the US in '96. One thicko had a great deal of fun at my expense telling me that he put carp weighing between 20 and 30 lb under his fruit tree's when he planted then. He was gutted when I told him the value of those fish, the sound of his jaw hitting the deck was great.
