    If you want to really get your revenge on the carpers Peter, I dare you to catch a very large carp (40lb+) and put it back ... without weighing it

    STEVE nice article,i know a carp lake,we fished last summer,we got out a whip and got some maggots and worms and startting catching small perch up to about 8oz,a few up to a pound followed,and on dusk a two pounder was caught(very damn impressive!),you see no one fished for these perch,its a speci carp water,plus i know there are a loy of gudgeon in this place...you think its worth a look.it is a bit textbook..no pressure..lots of prey...the other place i was looking at trying small river that in the past has produced fours,i really want to catch one now there my bogey fish -never caught a good one,so i shall read your 3 part article,on chasing old sargent stripey!and hopefully one or two will find its way to the net.

    There is one writer out there that has not been mentioned and that is Ken Whitehead. Oh, and of course there is another worth mentioning, Vic Bellers. Both lovely men, and like all lovely men, good pikers!!
