Hello again and welcome to the 3rd article in this series designed to introduce and instruct anglers on the new age of Carp Angling…

We’ve recently covered many of the basic concepts and techniques commonly employed to catch carp; this month, we’ll take a really good look at fish safety which is always uppermost on our minds when ever we are fishing, regardless of specie we’re chasing…

There are two main aspects:

Hello my name is Will Passaretti and im a carp angler from Pennsylvania. The state has many great opportunities for fishing whether it's fly fishing for trout, throwing lures for bass or targeting these bars of gold. I started targeting carp back in the fall of 2019 after I realized that the local pond I was fishing had some giant carp in it. I had always been an angler and mainly targeted bass but after accidentally hooking one I realized I should attempt to legitimately hook one. I tried several times before I managed to finally hook one. After several minutes the fish slipped into my net and a new addiction was born.
