pescados 1 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi guys,This is a request from a moderator on another sitewho lives in Perth WA.Any takers ??Hi Guys, I wonder if one or two of you in SA can help me. I will be in Adelaide on18th, 19th and 20th of September, and I would love a day's carp fishing. I will be stating in Hackham and I can have a carp rod and reel with me. However, I will not be able to manage landing net, rod rests or chair etc. I would be very grateful if one of you can help me out.chevinWhat I would really like is for someone to be able to spend a day fishing with me. I haven't a clue as to where I might go or where I am allowed to fish. I would just like to catch a few carp as a bit of a nostalgic thing, I used to do a lot of carp fishing when I lived in England and knowing that there are quite a few in the Adelaide area, I thought I would have a go for them during my time there which is in late September and over a weekend.

chevin 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Guys, Pescados has told me about your replies but I haven't seen any of the PMs. It is kind of you to respond so quickly and I really would like to meet up for a day's fishing and perhaps a beer or two (on me) at the end of it. Unfortunately I won't have any transport being as I am breaking an Indian Pacific journey to Sydney to have a few days in Adelaide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 most of us dont fish for carp in the traditional "carping" methods of england. but there is a few members of SAFWAA that enjoy the older styles of course fishing etc. hopefully a few of those members see this post.

chevin 0 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi Mate, I guess that my methods would be considered to be traditional but I think that if carp are feeding and I have a loaf of bread and some sweet corn, I should be able to get one or two on the bank.

Guest pin point Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 yeah mate with corn and bread, and some dough with "secret" ingredients your guaranteed a carp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BarneyB 1,939 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 G'day mate and welcome to the site, as you have seen there will be no problem finding volunteers to fish with you here. Whereabouts in the UK are you from? There are a few of us lurking around here.Regards,Barney.(Doncaster, Yorkshire) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chevin 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hi, thanks again for all of your suggestions and help. I'm really looking forward to my September trip and I would love to catch a carp or two like those in your pictures. I used to do a lot of carp fishing when I lived in the UK and while I don't want to see them introduced here in WA, I would like to fish for them where they are established - as they are in SA. I can get two full days of fishing in while I am in Adelaide so hopefully that will be sufficient time for me to land a fish or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afishyfish 4 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Im sure you'd be just fine Chevin wedgetail wrote: just bury you with it when you go haha So any Marlin from Qld should be 6 foot or shorter then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damobeer 0 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi Chevin,I've been here since March. Moved over from Swindon in the SW of England. I know a little about carp fishing (managed fisheries there for 12 years) so if you need some help I'm sure I'll be about in Sept.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
