I must say that you are 95% correct, with me being one of the 5% that truley loves the sport of Carp angling. That is why I have enjoyed the past three years of wild water angling as much as the 40 previous years of paylaking. However, the combination of the paylaking/wildwater angling has proven to be a very good combination. When the two get together, with open minds on both sides, its a marriage made in heaven.

Let me also say that just because a guy calls himself a paylaker doesn't mean anything unless they are from North Carolina.
