HI

Want to create a feeding ground at roodeplaat for some big carp.

What should i put into the feed? Will use a hair rig trace, will buy ready made ones from the shop.

How long before we start fishing should we feed the area?

PLEASE HELP

Hi M

No offence buddy, but I think you should rather go and post the question in the conventional section. Not sure that you are going to get a lot of advice here.

All I can say is start with carp care.

Hi Mahomed

If you read up on true specimen angling you will realize we are actually quite fanatical on fish care and wellbeing of the fish and we release all our fish after capture. On your avatar it is clear that this is not one of you values.

Goodluck with that  bud  "Nice avatar"....

Hi there mahomedhoosein unfortunately I practice catch and release therefore understandably hesitant to offer any insights on how to catch larger fish which might not get the necessary care and respect.However I am sure should you wish to place any questions on how to first care for your catches there will be a flood of advice from the more experienced guys on how to practice this sustainable and fantastic sport.

Hi mahomedhoosein. Sorry but im sure the guys on the conventional side will give better advice than on here.

 

[mahomedhoosein]

Any thing bigger than 10kg will be released and that pic was at the SA champs. So at that point those fish were kept. Thought you guys would be helpful but guess i was wrong. no offence.

We can be trust me i learned from these guys but tbh if you where at sa champs why ask then? you should learn others i guess. And we wil even throw a 2kg back fish is fish its those under ten that must stil grow or those over ten wil have no lip . . .

(just saying)

They teach us quantity not quality. You should know this if you learned from them.

 

[Scopex]

Uhm its Quality "Bait is expensive"

For us that is. . But we care and respect fish so we let them go its a public fishing spot not a butcher or "MarKet"


Vrede

Mahomed, it looks like you already catch your share of fish man... a 7kg pb is not bad at all for conv. angling Good luck at Roodeplaat.

I can still remember fishing at junior SA's in the late 80's early 90's where conservation of fish caught was not a high priority. The quicker we caught the most fish during our competitions, the better. As I grew older I met fellow anglers that showed me in a respectfull manner how to rather conserve and relase your catches to grow bigger so you can enjoy each and every trip.

Funny how nowadays certain anglers can be so full of rude criticism towards other anglers and always finding fault with the way the other anglers are doing things.

I think 15 years ago if the other anglers that taught me how to catch and release and got me not to even take a keep net when I go fishing for the last 10 years (before it become BIG with the specimen guys to C&R),were as rude with their criticism and sitting on their high and mighty specimen angling throne as some of the anglers on this forum, I would also not even thought of doing the conservation and C&R way.

Constructive criticism is always good but it should not be done in a way that might be considered to be rude and disrespectfull and I personally feel that attacking somebody on a forum is not the way forward. PM the person if you have an issue with the way he practises his angling methods but doing it in a forum like SL will not win a person over.

I hope I did not step on toes but this is just my personal opinion about the way we can convert more anglersto C&R.

Well said Jafta.

Mahomed

My apologies if I was rude, it is nothing personal.

If you are interested in this type of fishing there are a couple of guys in the Kudu angling club to show you the ropes in this type of fishing. It is always better to go to the water with someone who knows what he is doing in this discipline.

Regards,

Hi guys

HennieB said it, Well said Jafta...

Dont think you stepped on any toes maybe just brought some of us back down to earth....

Nothing personal M, But we do tend to get a little sencetive when it comes to our beloved sport. I personally dont like the Avatar on your profile and that has imediatly put me  on defence... We practice specimen angling and we put fishcare at the top of the list. As you said the conv angler is taught to go for quatity and not quality. I think that has wound some of the guys up a little...

I say every man to his own and i respect your sport as i respect my own. So i am sorry and appoliges if my comment was offencive.

To you in anyway. We have a wasome group of guys here in the specimen side of Sealine and i am sure that if you had asked anything about fishcare, unhookingmats, weighsling ext you would have had alot of good comments. 

 

[MadCarper]

Jafta, no worries, and yes there are some rude specimen okes out there, also true that sometimes something like this can be approached in a more constructive way....

But also remember where WE are coming from, and why we sometimes come accross a little rude. Ppl often dont think about it and just go off at us calling us all sorts of things... No offence to Mohamed, but if you are someone who take the time and effort to look after the big carp, would you be willing to help someone catch them if you see an avatar like that? I'm just being honest.

Like the guys said above, we are more than willing to help if someone wants to learn how to do this style of fishing correctly.

Tight lines!

Sorry guys i have to disagree. In this section there is a sticky post named: Before you start- Carp safety.

Mahommed came in here to ask how to catch big fish and mentioned he will buy ready made rigs from the shop and thats it. No mention of carp care and his avatar depicts everything except carp care.

As for Jafta, I dont go into another section without introducing myself and start an argument. You have never posted in this section so dont start pointing fingers at the guys here. Surely a person that have fished in the nationals will know that specimen carp anglers are anal about carp care.
