statesquider 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Was just wondering if anyone here has a need for carp. I haven't been for a while but I'm going to start regularly fishing the torrens again and I normally turf them in the bin. I have a chest freezer they can be briefly be stored in so does anyone want them if I catch? Best i've done in a day was about 30 but I generally get around 10 and I don't have much use for them. I only keep a couple for crab baits so normally they go to waste...Let me know if anyone is keen as I can stock them up. Burley or bait they are both useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

statesquider 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yeah i've watched that one before they've done some pretty crazy things on that show before (including cooking up $15000 of abalone). Would not consider ever eating a fish out the torrens haha i only ever need one or two for the freezer. Threw out a heap of stuff the other day. Chucked about 10 carp, 5 squid heads, about 1kg of squid wings, some mashed up mackerel and a few other assorted fish bits. The freezer needed a spring clean Empty again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
