Default Any carp fishermen on here?

Just wondered really as i've just snapped up a MEGA bargain of evilbay and thought i'd give the carp fishing a go instead of the river fishing.

Tell me about it

Starting bid was 750 with 1 bid for days, so i thought fuck it i'll have a dabble, put 770 in expecting the first bidder to have a higher max bid bt he didnt and i won the fucker at 770. There is a fucking shed load of gear, me mate riced it up theis mornng 100 a reel and there are 3 of the fuckers 250 for the bivvy 150 each for the rods lol then there is all the tackle bite alarms chairs bed etc etc. I got a fucking bargain imo

When i start catching i'm a fucing leg end lol, i do a decent amount of fishing now but mainly river fishing for barbel and chub etc, i just thought i'd give the carp side of things a go seems as though 40lb ers can be had. Plus i suppose with a small amount of alteration a good carp rod and reel setup can be made pretty easerly into a pike outfit.

yeah you can get a 24 hour permit for both waters. Think horseshoe is 15 quid and linear is 20 quid. horseshoe is my favourite though!
