Flick Fishing Different Rods
why do the fat headed yanks treat carp as being trash fish, but revere bass.?
went fishing for carp while on holiday in america, and asked where i should be heading to try for carp in the local tackle shop, the response i got wasn’t exactly helpfull, seems unless they are flicking a spinner about with a 4 foot rod they dont want to know. how can a 2lb bass compare to a 50lb+ carp. if thats what you want to catch fine. but don’t give someone a load of grief for trying to catch something different. and believe me i’ve fished all over the world, yanks are not the most advanced anglers, in fact your far from it.
Fishing for trashy fish like carp from a $40,000 bass boat does seem like a waste of time. Especially when a good tourney angler can win thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars by catching bass. Maybe it’s just me but the sport of sitting on a bank with a can of corn or some dough balls and hair rigs seems rather apathetic. Sure a carp will stretch your string, but even a decent catfish offers a far better fight and much better taste than some old carp. I’ll take a 2 lb bass any day over ten 50 lb trashy carp.
Any of you that I may have offended, let me show my respect by offering a Carp recipe.
1) Catch a Carp.
2) Nail Carp to board.
3) Smear lemon, butter and seasoning over it all.
4) Cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
5) Remove nails from Carp & board.
6) Throw away Carp.
7) Eat the board.
BTW…Nobody uses a 4 foot rod for Bass Fishing because you can’t get enough leverage against it while fighting a spirited 2 lb bass. Especially a smallmouth bass.
Best of luck and enjoy your Carp Fishing future.
