>>76656I can't stand the smell of carp and around here we don't eat them, but I saying that if I was ever hungry enough I believe they would make a good stew. Someone decided to introduce this carp to clean out the river system In Australia, all they have done is eat all food for the native fish, the carp problem is so bad that around our part of the river it's rare to cath native fish. In good sessions people catch 200 in a day. I have caught 50 in a good 2 hour session, there is no wrong bait for carp, they will literary eat everything.
>>76677I'm a pretty conservative fisherman, I don't like killing fish unless we are going to eat them or they are pests, to throw that carp back in would go against my moral code, even after they are dead there eggs can be fertilized for up to 48 hours, and they can lay up to 1 million eggs. They are destroying the river system.
Will bring many more pics when I get back up on the coast, inland visiting family at the moment. This is a tiger caught back in the 80's.
