Throwback Friday!

Just a picture of a carp from a couple of years ago (maybe 2013?).

Not a biggie, but still a nice wild carp :)

So long and see you later! (this carp was caught from Smartinsko lake, Slovenia. Photo: David Primozic)

Short Rods For Carp Fishing

Dear Readers,

I suddenly remembered that this SHOULD be a blog about carp fishing. So, here is a picture of a carp for you. This was the first time my new Prologic Fastwater 9'6" 3.5 lbs rods were out there. I love them. A lot. 

So why the short rods? In most cases, our natural lakes have only tight swims where it's almost impossible to cast properly with a 12' rod. Also, the fish are so much more fun to land with these shorter rods... Combined with Okuma Trio 55 Baitfeeder reels, my combination is really lightweight and still packs a lot of power.

A nice wild mirror carp. Wasn't held in a sack, but photographed just after the capture.

Carp Fishing Portrayed As It Should

Dear readers,

I have been a bit lazy writing, but there's absolutely nothing to say about carping. There's a lot of snow and ice outside. So just planning and dreaming. 

Talking about dreaming, I saw a carp fishing video that was something I haven't seen in a while. The atmosphere, sounds, everything were just perfect. I just watched the video in awe. It has all the things I love in carp fishing. Can't even describe it....

The name of the video is "Une voix au-dessus des roseaux" and you can watch it on Vimeo:
