Nonsense you hear in carp fishing

Grown men on a carp forum, expressing their jealousy and envy

Sat for 24hrs blanking, then made a tactical change and hey presto
Shortened the hooklength by a quarter of an inch, and changed colour of the boilie stop

The terribly unpractical act of folding reel handles.

Also when taking a pic with a carp, looking at its head or its tail with longing, passionate look.

Spod, distance and bag ‘work' always tickles me.
As do the people who ‘haven't looked back' since buying an irrelevant object identical to that which it replaced which was perfectly adequate until they were duped by a marketing dept.
And the drag being called a clutch, when it's a brake.
Pulling out of fish... sounds plain illegal and just doesn't happen in the sense it's meant.
Working hard for a fish when more often than not it involved sitting or laying down for longer than we have evolved to do

Get on the Speero !

Boshing !

Chunkasaurus !

Just about every Carp Angling brand these days obviously think, that we the Angler are all complete and utter Dullards with the crap they are attempting to sell us at greatly inflated prices.

A lot of Carp Angling is total nonsense these days.

P.S Get on the Outlaw, you will take your local apart on it

It really has become cringeworthy , it's embarrassing to be called a carp angler now or be viewed in the same manner as these so called ‘celeb anglers'

What time of the year is a squid and octopus hatch? Sorry Johnny, I couldn't resist

I think matching the hatch is only really applicable to what fly a fluff chucker would choose given what time of year it was and what was emerging at the time. Saying similar about boilies makes no sense to me.

I hate the wraps one. My response is either "f*** me your fishing close in" or just continually convert what they say to yards and most think I'm talking about a different spot.

Them: "Yeah I'm fishing at 15 wraps to a gravel patch"

Me: "aye there's a bar at 60 yards"

Them: "oh well I'm on a patch at 15 wraps"

Me: "yep, 60 yards is the place to be"
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
