I'm in agreement with most of the boys here, try not to let it stress you pal, take it all with a pinch of salt. At the end of the day there's no wonder rig, you don't need a film crew to show you how a clue'd up carp can f u c k you over, just enjoy yourself mate, like olli said there's a massive element of luck involved. All we can do is to keep learning, work hard and for now use the methods and rigs we're confident in
If in doubt - avoid all other anglers, avoid dvd's, avoid mag's, work things out for yourself and have a b l o o dy good time doing it
If not in doubt, crack a can open, put your feet up, watch said dvd, treat it as light entertainment,
go to bed thinking about
