No Australian carp fishing magazines that I know of, they are hardly discussed here and the only people who are likely to fish for them are anglers who have come here from England.

 

Originally I come from England too and I used to fish for carp there, but there are far mopre interesting species of fish in the ocean near where I live. Not only do they fight better than any carp I have ever caught but a lot of them are damm good eating fish too.

That is one strange looking critter in that photo Chevin.

 

Nice looking fish though.

 

 

I am fairly certain that it is a koi carp Newt. Primarily they are an ornamental fish, certainly I have seen ponds teaming with them in China which, I believe, is where they originated. They grow much bigger than that and fight like the wild carp that used to be reasonably common in the UK. They are put into drainage ponds just to keep them free of insects and various types of food thrown to ducks. With the temperatures here bread and the like soon tends to decompose and butulism develops which kills off the ducks people have been trying to nurture.

I thought the fish was probably a koi.

 

However, the fish weren't the 'strange critter' in that photo.

Australia has quite a few riders who are doing well too.

Hi, we live in "aussie"

We have "read-up" on all the different types of carp rigs, and have tried them, but have never yet even had a "bite".

We have fished in waters here in "aussie" that are supposedly "crawling" with Carp, but alas, we have never received the tinyiest "bite".

What are we doing wrong ?

Is carp fishing in "aussie" different ?.. different rigs?... different bait?

Can anyone help us please
