Hi all, not new to fishing but new to carping,been lurking for a while so thought id register and say hi

Hi all, as with others I'm not new too fishing, been going since a young lad, now in my forties. I've wanted too experience carping and hopefully catch a big carp along the way. Been collecting all the kit I need and tactics and advice from other anglers. This year was going too be when I made the change until just before Xmas last year I slipped two discs and trapped 3 nerves. Now waiting for a operation, which has now put back my fishing. So I'm looking forward now too next year so I can recover and get too that bank finally. In the mean time I can join in all your glory with the catches you all post. Tight lines all.

Just saying "Hi" to all.
Been angling since 8 years old, now a mid-40.
Dedicated carp angler since 2003.
Originate from Kent (Faversham) now live in Wiltshire and have been slaving it on the Cotswold water park since 2004.
Now belong to a syndicate near Reading and have enjoyed some nice Cypry action, but will always keep the water park ticket going as the rewards are outstanding, but rare! 😁

A brief intro from me, My name is Chris Wilson I'm 54 (look 44 and feel 74) some of you will know me as 'Wizzy' but that's when I was younger and very much faster

I've worked as a design engineer all my life which basically means 'I design and make things' or in my case - improvisation! I've also been an angler for over 45 years and own Laguna and Pristex, also run our new Bait Bunker shop in Bradford part time.
Unfortunately due to work commitments I don't get out fishing as much as I would like but still have fun whenever I get the chance.

Feel free anytime to ask questions regards our crazy industry, product development and bait, long-term and HNV being our speciality. I cannot promise to know everything and some of you guys will certainly know more than most but I'm here to help if I can.


Thanks for having me!
Chris
