Re: Fishing
Ahhh... bivvy is short for bivouac then? Kind of funny that they would call them Carp bivvies, Perhaps it's different in Europe but in Canada carp is generally regarded as garbage fish, you would never see anything called a carp bivvy in a sporting goods store. They can be fun to catch though, if you get a rally big one it can be like a runaway train if you have only light tackle.What are bivvies?

Same down here in Oz. If you catch a Carp here, no matter the size, you have to kill it, no throwing back. They make great fertilizer tho.

Re: Fishing
Two true stories that tie in to eachother
When I was a kid my grandfather took me fishing almost every weekend. We go fishing one day,he's got sunnies hitting all day one day when we're sitting in the boat,but thats all he's getting,the little 8 year old(me) lands an Eel almost as big as him.
Fast forward,I take my future wife fishing,she had just bought this reel,and couldnt cast this thing to save her soul without birds nesting the whole thing.
All day I cant so much as cast without having my worm hit by a sunnie
She,ends up catching a small mouthed bass.
I cursed under my breath the whole way back to the house

Re: Fishing
Beginners luck - I had the same as a kid with my little hand reel fishing line with my bros.
They wouldn't believe I had a fish at all - just assumed I had it caught under the jetty until some other random stranger saw me struggling to hold the line and pulled it in for me.
It was a decent size and my bros damn were jealous which I really enjoyed!
The few times I've fished since I haven't had much luck though!

Re: Fishing
In between Christmas and New Years in Florida, you have to try and get out to Lake Okeechobee around Clewiston during the full moon. The Specks are just starting to bed for the breeding season and when it is really cold out on the water, they bite like crazy after sun down.

Re: Fishing
If you ever manage to snag hook a fish near its tail, it makes the fish seem much larger than if it is hooked by the mouth. I did that a few times. Once fishing from the shore of a lake I hooked into what I figured was the catch of a lifetime. On light spinning tackle I manage to snag a carp of about 3-4 lbs near the tail. What a battle! Took me damn near half an hour to land the thing, what a disappointment when I saw what it was.

Does any one do any "Sport Fishing"? Or just for pleasure?

Re: Fishing
Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch,
grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck,
and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage,
turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'
My loving wife of 20 years replied,
'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that shit?'
I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I've stopped fishing.

Re: Fishing
once I was out fishing with my sister , just trolling around a lake, and she managed to catch another lure, a small Rapala which sort of resembles a minnow.. It was hooked by the eye loop where you tie the line, and had been thre so long the hooks were rusted away. I just though it kind of ironic that on a lake of several square miles in size, one could drag the point of a hook through a little metal loop less that 1/4 inch in size, wihout even noticing until it was reeled in.
