I took a few hours to sit by the Yarra this morning and only got one bite on worms.











Lucky for me it was a good one! My biggest carp to date.

That carp is better than a donut mate, well done, cheers davo :thumbsup:

solid carp, well done :thumbsup:

Well done mate :thumbsup:

walked by a fish monger in Northland last night and noticed that they have whole carps up for sale, for $9.8/kg

Fishmongers in the markets often have them. Wonder if they are recreationally caught, or commercially????

I could have cashed it in? I ended up giving it to another fisherman who was going to cook it up.

A recreational fisherman can't sell his catch.

Carp stink and am told they taste muddy.
But, what about their roe ??????
Bream roe is very tasty, if a bit rich
Murlz won't let me try it

Anybody tried ???
