River Carp Fishing


Kingston, Tennessee. We spent a day at this swim trying to get into some big fish. We did manage to catch a lot but not the big ones we ware after. It was still a good day; I caught a few runs on camera followed by some pictures. I used single vanilla boillie 16mm and 18mm (2 rods on 16 and 2 on 18mm). Enjoy, leave a comment (How can I get the bigger fish to bite, I know they are in there), and subscribe for more.

3 Exciting Bow Fishing Facts

For hunters who normally hunt for birds and deer, bow fishing could be a popular off season option. For this sport the appropriate gear is necessary to spear the fish. This sport is more rampant in the summer months, as anglers would find a shallow area of water to go bow fishing or could go out in smaller crafts out on a lake or down a river. You could also end up winning some prizes if you go out into the ocean for bow fishing. There are many different kinds of bow fishing gear and it all matters on the sort of fish which you have in mind to hunt.

1. Hunters use the same equipment to hunt on land and water
The hunters, who hunt for deer with their bows and arrows in winter, use the same equipment to hunt for fish during the summer months.
This hunting for fish in summer keeps them in good practice for their aim, and gives them the same amount of thrill as the hunt on land does. In fact it is even more difficult and needs more skill to hunt for fish that move with dexterity and speed under water, and puts the hunter’s skills to the test.

2. The carp a popular fish to hunt on lakes
The carp which was regarded as the waste of the lake, is now giving the hunters an extra thrill for their bow fishing skills. As the carp is a larger fish of rivers and lakes, it is a good aiming goal. But obviously to test your aiming skills even more hunting the smaller variety of fish would do this. This should keep you in good practice until winter comes for bigger game hunting. Bow fishing gear for fish in the ocean like sharks, sting ray and other aquatic species is available too. If you are interested there are several fishing expeditions that you could participate in, which would take you out for mid day fishing trips.

3. Bow fishing an ancient way of hunting for food
One of the ancient kind of fishing, bow fishing dates back several centuries to another era, when man had to hunt for his food with bow and arrow. It was a necessity then and not a sport, as it was a way to feed the family with all that was available in their natural habitat. Though this is still a difficult sport, now with the new and modernized equipment, it is much easier than what men used long ago. Today there are different kinds of arrows for different varieties of fish and also spear guns available to make fishing much easier. Whatever the species that you are interested in hunting, there is something for you to make your hunting a more memorable experience.

Carp Fishing Basics ? The Fundamentals

Carp is a collective name of the fishes found in fresh waters. These fishes are natives of Europe & Asia. Lately they have been introduced to various locations around the world, though with mixed results. Carp fishes can be of various types, these are:

Common Carp: Also known as European carp and is found in Asia & Eastern Europe.
Silver Carp: These fishes are filter feeder and are difficult to catch on typical hook and line gear. Special methods have been developed for these fishes.
Bighead Carp: These are of large sizes and are equally filter feeders as the silver carps. These are also known as bighead carp and can be captured through suspension method.
Grass Carp: These fishes grow in small lakes and backwaters that provide an abundant supply of fresh water vegetation. Grass carp are strong fighters on a rod and reel, because of their vegetarian habits and their wariness.
Crucian Carp: These fishes are mostly found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers throughout Europe and Asia. These are basically a hybrid species & thus are basically regarded as a threat to other native aquatic animals.

Lately carp fishing is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and Europe and surprisingly each week hundreds or maybe thousands of new anglers experience the pleasure of catching big carp. As the crap fishing is gaining some popularity, the industry is also growing very fast. Accordingly, many top tackle manufacturers are consistently improving products and developing new ideas to provide new methods to make carp fishing a hassle free job. Manufactures have been successful to incorporate latest technologies in fishing lines, bait and rig presentation.

Interestingly, carp fish possess a natural instinct to learn and adapt to various dangers in order to survive. Carp quickly learns the most common angling tactics used by carp fishermen. As the fish learn by association they start to recognize various baiting situations as dangerous and some may start to avoid an angler’s bait altogether! That’s why anglers are always in to inventing newer techniques to catch a carp and a little intelligent thinking is necessary to make a crap compelled to hook in to the bait.

Fishing ? A Beginners Glossary Part 1

The basic concept of fishing is fairly basic and self explanatory. Fishing is the act of catching fish. Or my particular favourite dictionary definition for fishing is, “the diversion of catching fish!”  I am not sure whether they mean a diversion for the angler from their regular day to day life or the act of diverting the fish onto the hook or into a net! 

As with any transaction there are usually two parties involved. In this case we have the fisherman or fisherwoman as the “fish-er” and the fish, would logically, to me at least, be the “fish-ee”.

What about some of the terms we hear regarding fishing though? To the uninitiated it can sound like a load of old trout!

Ok here is a really easy one to kick off with:

1. Fish type/species followed by the word “fishing”- For example, carp, bass or trout and the word fishing, e.g. carp fishing. This really is as simple as it sounds. Fishing for a particular species of fish which in this case is carp.

2. Fishing Tackle – This is not some illegal challenge in football or soccer but in fact the equipment that is used for fishing. There is a large variety of fishing tackle available and much of it can be specialised, e.g. carp fishing tackle. Yes you guessed it, the fishing tackle used to try and catch carp.

3. Coarse Fishing This is not fishing on a golf course (notice the subtle spelling difference) or any kind of course for that matter. It is in fact the name given to fishing (usually in the United Kingdom) for freshwater fish that are not considered game fish which are trout, salmon and char. Once again, carp is a common target for coarse fishers.

4. Fly Fishing – Fishing whilst flying would be really difficult and probably very dangerous, so that’s not what this is. Fly fishing is actually fishing with a very special kind of bait, an artificial fly. Yes a fake fly! The fishers use all kinds of fake fly, different sizes, different colours and the aim is to lure the fish with this unique bait.

5. Fishing Bait – Theoretically you could fish without much of the modern fishing tackle as I am sure they did in ages past, with just a sharp spear and an even sharper aim! However, whoever first came up with the idea of luring the fish with some kind of bait was clearly a genius. Fishing is now much easier than it ever was, with all kinds of bait available for all kinds of different fish and different fishing conditions.

This concludes part one of our “Beginners Fishing Glossary”. Tune in soon for part 2, when we will have a look at Sea Fishing, Bass Fishing and perhaps even the legend that is J R Hartley.
