Hi Derek ...... it isn't an objection it is just a fact. One of our
club
waters is a 25acre pit. In about 45 swims you can't walk round to the
far
bank. If you are going to analyse just the 'hotter' carp swims for
specimens
of that species than the ratio is high ..... you can't walk round to
the
far
bank of about 75% of the swims.


----------------------------------------------------
Is this through natural location or choice.

Natural location .....

If the latter, have a word with the committee, or owners and get the
"problem" solved.

So as you understand that isn't an option

I suspect that deep down the average carp fisherman likes to long cast.
It
is all part of the image.


The situation is the same for all anglers that use the water not just carp
anglers. BTW most are not long casts and Ime carp anglers 'fish' to features
that generally produce carp ..... I think the same is true for the others
also. However, I have noticed that many carp anglers seem to for example
catch more specimen bream and tench compared to those that target those
species so maybe I make a false comparison.

A long time ago now (When the proper colour for carp gear was still black)
we had a real problem on a smallish local water with a few selfish anglers
who took to occupying the three or four swims where you could get a car
really close and casting several lines each into every other swim on the
pond. Snip

The clubs I belong to would just ban members who acted in this manner .....
they are not wanted.

Cheers ...... Richard
