Just stummbled upon this great site with what looks like a ton of great info !
I've been Carp fishing for 1 season now, i've been into fishing for as long as i can remember though and i'm 38 now

got hooked like probably 90% of people on this site our beloved dads took us when we where nippers ! LOL...
Couple of mates got me into the carping last year though, as i've been into fly and game fishing for the last twenty + yrs. before that i was into the plain straightforward coarse scene, i used to do quite a few nights back then too, carping suits me though, lay back in the mid-day sun chill out relax and wait for that magic beep beep beep lol...lovin it !
Looking forward to having some great chats with you all ! if any of you want info on the game scene i'd like to think i'm pretty clued up for round my way so just give me a shout and i'll gladly oblige.....and here's to the new season !
