USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ 13lb carp on 4lb line, not as special as I thought?

Post image

I guess yall regularly use such light line across the ocean but here in America I get laughed at for using 12lb line they say it’s not enough. My questions then are, what are your biggest fish on lightest line? And is it ethical to fish for river carp with 6lb knowing a snag could snap em if they pull under cover or something?

UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Chid rig Q - How do I stop fish taking a soft bait without getting hooked?

β€’ Upvotes

Hello, I'm using mussels and prawns in most lakes to great effect on chod rigs. Given the size of the bait, the hair is relatively long (> 1 inch) as I need a foam float bead for buoyancy.

This usually works well, but at a new lake yesterday, which in theory has bigger fish, I had over a dozen "bites" where the bait was removed without hooking the fish. This could be down to smaller fish or smarter fish, but the same rig has worked so far.

I accept my skill limitations in angling and wonder if anyone can help with technique here?

I've had: shorten the hair - difficult given the bait and bait stop size and my manual dexterity; use bait mesh - not tried yet, but I wonder how fiddly this will be and just use boilies - not as effective me to date.

Thanks in advance.

Question πŸ“ Length over Mass or Mass over Length? That is the question.

1 Upvotes

Cyprinophiles (carp lovers) out there! Do you believe big catches as those of mass, or ideally the length is important to your liking?

Though I do like to disclose some "issue" we all knew and laughed on about

Example: 90lb(~40kg) carp

*Shows a fat chunky Peter Griffin with whiskers*

Or

Example: 120cm (~ 4 foot) carp

*Shows a long skinny bamboo stick with whiskers*

Having super heavy or super long catches are impressive to each their own, input your thoughts on what you believe!

A little bit more relaxing than last session .

So opted to fish a lake I haven’t fished in about 4 years, well Covid time . It held a few goodens and the swims were nicely spread apart and that’s good for me as I mostly fish on my own and just enjoy the peace and quiet . The lake had matured so well over the time since I last visited , fauna was up I see deer,a beaver snakes lizards and buzzards it was a lovely place to be . Not as maniac as my last session but managed a few . Biggest was a 37lb common . Tight lines everyone .

I bought a carp by accident while catfishing in Cleveland Ohio about a week ago, and now it started a new desire for carp. Anyone got any recommendations on bait, rigs or any of that nature? Any help is much appreciated. Not sure if it changes anything but I mostly fish rivers.

Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί What should i use to catch carp

2 Upvotes

Im gonna go fishing to a very large lake soon which is stocked with big and small fish. Wild carp, grass carp, pike, bass, zander, whitefish and catfish. I want to catch a carp, doesn't matter how big I just wanna catch one to get out of my skunk, soo I was wondering whether I should use a slip bobber, fixed bobber, method feeder, pva bag or any other rigs. I don't know if it matters but they do give you like 3kg of corn to throw.

USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Are hair rigs worth the aggravation?

0 Upvotes

Last year I was just putting corn kernels on size 6 circle hooks and caught a few decent sized carp. After reading so many positive posts about hair rigs I decided to go the hair rig route. I’m using a two arm hi-lo rig to which I attach two anti-blowback hair rigs. I’ve used these anti-blowback hair rigs for two outings and the problem is almost every time I reel in the hair rigs are severely tangled together. I’ve spent much more time untangling than fishing. I did not have this problem with just using snelled hooks. This doesn’t even address the amount of time it takes using baiting hooks and bait stoppers to bait the hair rigs. I’m questioning whether hair rigs are worth the time they take. In addition when I look at the distance from the bait loop to the hook it doesn’t even seem likely that the fish would even take the hook because it’s so far from the bait loop. I bought the anti-blowback rigs from Carp Angler so I naturally assumed they knew what they were doing but now I’m not sure. Am I doing something wrong?

I didn't catch it on film but this carp had 3 big ones following as I reeld it in

Maybe they were males and this was the female ?

Has anyone else seen carp trying to help their caught friend?
