Any of you fabbers partake in the pursuit of catching those elusive big fish in the U.K. (Sorry I don't count the ones which smell of garlic)

We have some carp and they are so hard to get .. As they get older I think it gets harder . We had some people put dog biscuits in and that worked but its rear to get them.

I've never seen the attraction in carp fishing, you go to a commercial water and there are that many fish in there you would have a job getting wet if you fell in.

I'd much rather set up on the tow path, and fill my keep net with a variety of species that were hard fought, that's the craft right there, miles of walking to find just the right spot, then setting up your swims for the maximum catch
