Hi everyone,
I went to another carp pond the other day but only managed 2 small carp. Though one guy next to me caught one about 3.5kg. It was a huge fish to catch on a bamboo stick (when I say stick... i mean a stick...not a rod..just a long piece of bamboo!)!
I went to another fishing shop today and bought another fishing pole (the type where there is no reel...just line attaches to the end....it is 4.5 metres long). the lady in the shop tried to explain to me the knots i need to attach the line to the pole and also the knot to tie to the hooks onto the line (they use hooks without an eye over here). anyway, i hope i can remember the knots.
I should be going carp fishing again in the next day or so..... so i will try and setup the rod beforehand. I bought lots more floats, hooks, line and also some other accessories. I got some rubber (soft plastic) maggots/grubs. no idea if they would work or not. anyway i will probably start off with bread dough again and see what happens.
Hopefully I will still have some room in my suit case and i can get some squid jigs in hong kong on the way home <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

All the best, Glen
