16,000 Carp

Recommended Posts

There used to be an annual carp comp in the Albert River, Brisbane, years ago. The first comp yielded 4 tonnes of carp which went to the Charlie Carp fertiliser factory and said factory gave out the prizes and provided native fingerlings to stock the river. That comp folded due to excessive insurance costs.

Blimey you would have thought all the asians would have eaten them

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Upper Stranger Pond is only about 4 hectares in size, but it holds up to 1,000 carp — making their removal a big logistical effort.

1000 carp in 4 hectares, (just under 10 acres)? That's about the norm, or even a bit low, for many waters over here.

 

Good old Charlie Carp, it's about time they opened a factory in the UK. :thumbs:

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

A bit Harsh John - Fact is, in the UK Carp, & Carp fisheries pay wages & help with the economy!! (Local & National)

 

Unlike in the good old U.S. of A where it's more an environmental problem.

 

Added to that - Many Anglers over here can get a buzz without too much effort!!

 

My fishing club of around 28 members has a good few over the age of 80!!

 

:wheelchair: & very competitive they are too, popping up in the prize money often enough!!

 

I'm talking with 130 odd Lb here sometimes!!

 

Must be the Elastic then :fishing:

 

286 Lb odd (in 5 keep nets) is the club record, but that was a member same age as me (60) - we went to the same school as kids.

 

He caught just under 1,000 Lb over 15 matches last season & almost swept the board re Trophies.
