What happens when these fish get to 40lb...50lb...60lb...and the venue owners can provide stocking pics of them at 2-3lb? It WILL happen.

Spawned fish, fed with a supplementary diet by fish farmers, from imports isn't anything new in the UK.

Snap, I just stocked 100 C1 Sutton's in one of my Stock Ponds to grow on in their own time – no force feeding, or indoor heated tanks involved.

No mate,I don't drink at all,meths had all the alcohol removed from it years ago...

My so called odd posts are my way of deflecting/responding to silly posts,...ie 'bal maiden' which is something best not repeated on here..

If I said,what I really think of the few,stupid ,townie minded,melt...posters...I'd get a ban...most of whom have NO understanding of rural affairs other than watching country file,

I don't class them as proper free minded individuals..I could go on...

So,no I not lost it buddy,just frustration with the lack of general rural,angling knowledge displayed on here..

I agree keeperboy plenty of people breeding those scaley carp. But RH carp are clearly in demand or he wouldn't do it. RH is all about the cash and while his lakes are full why would he change.

Weston park £750 - can't fish 3 of the best pegs they are holiday pegs can be booked all year. Lake exclusive booking from April to June. Maybe 60 members.

Sitch £1000 - a holiday swim available all year. 20 pegs overfilled 80 members. Open access April to June winter tickets also sold.

Acton top lake £1000 open access April to June don't know any members who fish it so don't know to much.

Acton bottom - as above £1000

Avenue- £1500 closed 3 months of the year robs socials are held in that 3 months. I happen to know a old boy who used to have a ticket said midweek rob feeds them with 50kg of maize and the same of boilies whether your fishing or not it goes in.

Monument 1 £60 quid for 36 hours

Monument 2 same as above. And you can only use there bait.

It's crazy absolutely but he is making stupid money the demand is there so I guess it will continue

If a fight ever breaks out in a circus I find that it's always best to go for the jugular.

When you compare the Linear Syndicate is this year going to be about 750 quid with 200 members those prices look like a bargain

Sadly it's a demand that needs feeding, that goes for all bred fish. Your wrong uns and your ‘proper' ones
It's something I struggle with. Why is one person's enjoyment of mistreating an animal any different to the next bloke? Because all stock is ethnically cleansed to some degree, kept in environments and ecosystems which could never support them without the application of processed man made garbage. Nutritionally ok to survive, but come on.. is a carp going to naturally get glm? herring meal? Krill
Being ‘cool' and having a mullered kettle doesn't give anyone the right to question ethics or morals when they're fishing for GM farmed captive fish as well. The arrogance to use any natural sea life, or life of any form not farmed sustainably, to supplement pets; when people, kids, starve to death... embarrassing really
Maybe these big **** pigs should Live in tanks at the UN and feed the world in a hurry
Then we can all go back to a genetically tampered with population that looks better in photos, maybe even pay £100's over the course of the year to feed and increase value of somebody else's business assets while also paying for the privilege of doing so
The whole ‘thing' of carp fishing makes me cringe when I look at it... but I enjoy catching carp
Catch 22
I'd rather not go than fish 95% of places in the uk for them

Maybe time to hang up the rods chap! If 95 percent of the Uk waters offends you or the morals of fishing then maybe find another hobby. Fishing is about to come under serious threat and the divided opinions we have had for the last 20 years is the ammo the antis need. I don't like what carp fishing has become at certain venues but I just don't go there. Many of the syndicates across the uk are doing things properly and the waiting lists suggest they are most popular. Time to pull together (even when we don't agree)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
