Please don't. This is text only group. There is a fishing binaries group
iIrc but you're better putting the picture on your webspace and posting us a
link.

Better arrange a few spare Mb though in case you catch a shedful ;-)

Have fun. Cheerio,

i've been fishing for a couple of years now and never caught a carp
(maybe because i wasn't fishing for them) but my uncle is taking me
carp fishing soon and he told me i only needed to take a tin of cat
food as bait.

my uncle is a very good fisherman and i trust what he says but is
there much chance of catching on tinned cat food?

Also can anyone give me some tips on how to catch carp because this is
a lake where you cant use ground-bait so i think it could be challenge
to catch anything.

Really depends on the lake you are fishing at, and the local weather
conditions the best think to do is visit the lake the day before and
watch the water see if you can signs of where the fish are moving and
feeding to improve your chances, also talk to the local anglers to see
what they are catching fish on.

As for bait carp will take most things, for example at one lake i fish
bread or corn is the best to use for the smaller fish and luncheon
meat or larger maize for the bigger fish and you will catch all day
just keep a small amount of steady feed going in.
Another lake i fish Boilie or Pellet works alot better and there we
tend to fish large beds of bait normally 40 to 50Kg of chopped boilie
pellet and hemp or party blend seed mix.

I have given you the two extremes of fishing for carp, normally it can
be any where in the middle and most baits from maggot and worms to
bread and boilie work even prawns, dog meat and boiled potato's have
been tried and worked but the best thing to do is walk your local
lake and watch it regular and you will soon get use to the fish
feeding patterns and what the anglers are catching them on.
