I started Carp fishing around 30 years ago at the ripe old age of 12 I knew then that I had found a side of fishing that fascinated me. Back then 'doubles' were big fish, '20s' were monsters and don’t even go there with '30s' and '40s'.

"Better late than never, the day I landed my 67 lbs from the river Moselle"
TYPE OF BAIT: Crab & Mussel

A new pair of boots
SET UP : Rods on the pod, stretcher in the van and a smoke
PLACE TO FISH : The river Moselle and Lac du Der

That river bred fish are strong growers but that their growth seems to slow down once they reach the 25 lbs barrier? That is why you can catch good numbers but will find that the bigger ones take a lot of time, luck or both to get to them.
