Hi I've just joined I have been browsing the forum for a few weeks now. I have been carp fishing for around 15 years mostly in kent but have only really fished easy to medium waters. I have just taken the step up to quite a hard fishery across the road from where I live run by MKF in Larkfield so may be after a few tips.

Hi! another old git to bore you all!
I love to fish and have fished all my life on and off, we used to have it good when i was a lad, during the war..............................

Hello all, forgot I had this account. So never got round to posting an introduction.

Anyway I'm jack. Been fishing for 40 years, mainly sea fishing with a bit of coarse. Last year I started carp fishing, didn't get chance to fish much last season as I had a serious neck injury. Anyway started my season a month ago and started with a lovely 10lbs common from Kingston fishery in Warwickshire. Also fished bishops bowls lots of times, mainly course fishing, but once or twice for the carp, blanked big time, but been new at the time don't think helped. Hopefully this season I can get my first carp on the bottom form there.

Both of these lakes are only 10 mins from my house so I'm a bit spoilt think I prefer Kingston as its less commercial for me, plus it has a nice head of Carp for a small fishery, will be fishing it again this week, hoping to bank a couple of the carp in there.

Anyway that's enough waffle from me, might see a few of you around as I see Bishops bowls is popular on here.

Hi to Everybody,

My english-grammer are not the best (also spelling) - so please accept my excuse in advance.
