Afternoon all, been on/off fishing for the last 20 years, although have been carp fishing fairly regularly for the last 5 years, already learnt plenty from 'lurking' the forum for the last few months. Hope to learn plenty more and hopefully input some advice as well.

Evening! Just found the forum via the wonders of Google... Recently went fishing for the first time in over 12 years (or when I could still be considered "young")
After a couple of evening sessions at my local commercial I bagged my first double (a lovely common at just over 10lb) so want to build on that now!
Need to build up my kit now and go from there I guess!

Hi there,
Finally decided to join the forum after beeing a guest for many years. I live in Sweden and I've been carping for about seven years now. As far as I'm concerned this is the best place for discussing everything carpy and where to look when you have questions about tackle etc.

Hey everyone,
Im new to the forum, did a bit of fishing when I was younger, was really terrible fisherman tbh, never could get a carp on the line on my own. Just want to get back into fishing again particularly carp fishing. I know i missed the best time (summer) for it. I've got an old rod and reel still and some 15 lb line and some hooks and weights. Just want to know what else I could need. The most success I had was with float fishing but I only ever caught small fish with it and no success at all with carp. Can anyone suggest a decent rig for carp fishing that hooks the fish without needing to strike?
Also do you really need those bleep machines you put your line through?
Sorry If im asking these questions in the wrong place but any help would be much appriciated. I live in retford nottinghamshire anyone know a good carp fishing place? i've been to hallcroft one a couple of times no luck with carp there though.

I kind of second hello from me. Been registered on here for years, not posted much, but soon after I stopped fishing.
Been fishing since I was a teenager, so a long while ago. Before stopping fishing about 6 years ago, I dabbled with carp fishing, but wasn't fishing the right lake and just lost interest in catching 7 to 12 lbs pasties, with no real chance of going for anything bigger. Also the lake owner started introducing (in my opinion) stupid rules, combination of reasons why I jacked it in.
Kept all my gear though and have been on 4 days in recent months to a new (to me) lake. No success yet, but I know the lake I have been fishing is hard at the moment - no one else was catching either, so I know it isn't me!
But I am still enjoying it and can't wait to get back out there.
