Carp Bivvies

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
