Kelvin 2,258 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 When I first moved to Adelaide quite a few years ago I used to live in one of the residential colleges near the Uni. I fished a few times a week in the Torrens and pulled out some big carp {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gifSome of the big ones were over 1m. I used to use an 8lb handline alot just for fun. Lost some big fish to snags though. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/tkN0Apz7__1423.jpg[/img] melv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Ciaravolo 34 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Nice fish there Kelv; I used to bring a pack rod to uni 2 or 3 times a week and fish for carp there; some monsters too! Sometimes fish would take over 100m of 3lb line and would often 'do' me against snags.Its great fun, especially if you cast and retrieve GULP or other SPs. Pink Squidgies work well in the middle of winter too {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifwill post some pics soon.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyj 3,256 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 When I was a lad many many moons ago I used to catch Carp that size (and smaller {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif) on bread under a float down Underdale/flinders park way .No one would believe the really really big ones that would swim by in those days.They may not have been the 50lb ones I have seen from England and France but they were very long .CheersI always enjoy your Pics Kelvin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luke_westlakes 4 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 hay nice fish...hay yak did you use plastics for carp.... did u get a few... Ive always wanted to no if you could use lures for carp.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 This one was 7.1kg I think, taken on 3kg line. It was mid june a number of years back and taken during a club trip. The weather before this day was beautiful and warm. Then the rain came down the next day making it miserable and cold.Went back the following weekend to bag a couple of similar weight on 1kg on a new stick I had built.Luke, carp on lures arent a new thing. I can recall a couple of fellas from SA Landbased Fishing Club catching em on lures a while back. The fact that SA LB FC havent been around for a while now should hint as to how long ago. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/a36e6XmS__Hart_Lagoon_Carp_jpeg.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coonta kinta 1 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Destined for the veggie patch Brenton, or the berley pot?Nice fish indeed. Amazes me that they are still reasonably active there. I havent taken any temps, but still expect the water to be cold and hence slow them down, but just doesnt seem to be the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pellipeeli11 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Gidday kingfisher,did you happen to weigh that pig, about 12 years ago my daughter caught a 17 Lb carp near kingston on murray .her first fish on a lure (i think the lure was silver wonder wobbler) using a small shimano plug caster spooled with 12Lb mono,took her 20mins to bring it to net .it was the only fish caught for 7 days on a houseboat.for a 9yr old not a bad effort i thought, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
