Introduction to the Ultimate Carper

Carping has been an obsession for me,no other form of fishing for me encapsulates the search and trips out for these wily beasts.I have many fisherman's tales and hope to get them down on this blog while my memory is intact.Where would we be without some of the innovations in modern Carping equipment/Baits/Reports on Fisheries,even today's cheap gear is better than some of the kit I parted my hard earned cash for in the past.
So here it is the introduction to the Ultimate Carper,if you haven't got the budget yet to get off to France as much as you'd like,don't worry this is mainly a good old Blighty blog from me although I'm interested in any information exchange on Carping Trips worldwide,spring is rapidly approaching,and although I have done some Winter Carping,notably recent trips to Cuttle Mill,it doesn't compare in terms of fish on the mat.We all benefit from an exchange of information and my aim is to make this the reference blog for the Serious Carper.
