boris b 1 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 No more stress than its normal life . Carp in there natural enviroment have predators to worry about . After they reach a certain size in this country the only really have to worry about the eastern europeans eating them . So for me the stress levels they would have trying to keep alive are replicated in a way by trying to suss whats safe to eat and whats not . Quote Link to post

Guest WILF Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 very sad loss,we lost all the larger carp in our large pond last month,gutted,wilf how much is a day ticket these days on a carp water? and how many months of the year is it busy? On our day ticket water its £10 for 2 rods, 7am to sunset............and you cant keep 2 rods in the water!! Prices vary, but between 10 and 20 quid seems to be the norm...........myself, I cant abide the day ticket waters, to many fecking idiots. Quote Link to post
