It took me a couple of times to figure out that carp "Syndicates" are the same as bird shooting ones.<BR/><BR/>We are really fortunate here in the USA that almost everything is free or close to it.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Albert A Rasch<BR/><A HREF="http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles</A><BR/><A HREF="http://outdoorbloggerssummit.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Proud Member of Outdoor Bloggers Summit</A>Albert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-46191407845837574752008-12-15T09:24:00.000-05:002008-12-15T09:24:00.000-05:00The things anglers go through to catch a fish!

To the rest of us they are fisherman who thought 'maybe I'm making this too simple, what if i took more stuff with me to the water?' they take their kit in special wheelbarrows and camp by the water for days on end.<BR/><BR/>Some thoughts:<BR/><BR/>Carp are well smart, and have AMAZING sense of smell - hence pineapple and strawberry flavored boilies.<BR/><BR/>They may be able to see you coming - hence carpers wearing camo - really!<BR/><BR/>Monks kept 'stew ponds' full of them to eat on holy days when meat was prohibited, but the British stopped eating them when Henry VIII became protestant. <BR/><BR/>The Chinese are supposed to rate them as highly as salmon for eating, and purge them by keeping them in fresh running water after capture to remove the muddy taste. <BR/><BR/>Those cool Japanese fish tattoos are of carp that swim against the current and jump like salmon.<BR/><BR/>I recently saw a show where a British actor went stateside and bowfished for them, looked fun, totally illegal here though.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear your having fun<BR/><BR/>SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.com
