It's my Dads 50th soon and I haven't a clue what to get him.

He is mad on carp fishing and I am desperatly looking for ideas in the region of £100.

So anyone who has an idea I be very grateful if you could either mail me or post here.

there's loads of bits and gizmos to buy a carper, but it maybe best to find out if there's any specific thing he's missing or needs replacing, as £100 is a lot to spend only to find out he's already got one.

To be honest, if Dad is mad keen on carp fishing ; he has probably got everything he needs. So the safest bet is to ask him.

I might go for something a little different, as tackle can be a tough one to get right.

 

Take a look at Steve Burke’s http://www.classicfishingbooks.co.uk website. My mother in law purchased a few old titles for me at Christmas from Steve (including a mint copy of Quest for Carp – Jack Hilton ). There are lots of very interesting carp titles and many ltd editions – I’m sure something of that nature would be *extremely* well received, I know mine were.

 

Or, how about the full Passion for Angling Box Set http://www.passionforangling.info/ - Can’t think of any angler who would not be over the moon at receiving that! I also got the ‘caught in time’ DVD for crimbo – well worth a look.

 

And yes, I know I was a lucky boy at Christmas.

 

PS - Did I mention I also got a copy of Tony-Davies Patrick’s 2006 Carp Calendar as well? (http://www.pinkkipperpublishing.co.uk)

Many thanks for that recommendation, Julian!

 

Please note that we're in the process of making a few changes to the site so it may be a little confusing at present. If you have a problem whilst this work is being done please e-mail or PM me.

 

I'd add that I also offer gift vouchers so that your loved ones can buy the books they like rather than having them chosen for them. Alternatively, I'm happy to make suggestions.

I would play it safe & go down to your local tackle shop & buy some vouchers.

Two things that may appeal; One is a silver carp - I have one off the guy who makes them but I don't know how you can get them now. Or, and perhaps better, is to get a handcarved carp. I had one made about 6 years ago and it's a cracker. Might cost more than £100 nowadays but certainly worth looking into.
