Spanker Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi fish raiders I went for a walk down in the LCNP on Saturday and the water upstream of the weir was chrystal clear due to lack of rain. I have said it before and I will say it again but yikes there are some massive carp in there. In 30 seconds I would have spotted 10, most of 10 poind easy. I aslo saw a huge eel cruising along the edge of the weedbed. He paused right by a big carp and neither took notice of the other. Does anyone know if carp feed after dark? If so I am so in for a secret squirrel mission after dark. I also saw soem huge bream on the seaward side and to my big surprise school of big drummer. If anyone is keen for a night time mission for the carp let me know, especially if we can get a designated driver and doing some prior 'planning' at the Great Northern before hand Cheers Spanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Drummer,???? or blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanker Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Pogo. Sliver fish kind of trevor shaped with black vertical striped along the length. Haven't caught one but I thought they were drummer. Happy to be told otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukka Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Ive hooked a couple of lane cove carp fishing for bass with soft plastics. You think you have the mother of all bass on the line until you see them roll on the surface. Still havent managed to land one yet, but it does make me wonder sometimes why I'm fishing for little bass while there are 15 pound sportfish feeding at my feet! Puk' P.S. Just in case you didn't know Spanker, you're only allowed to fish from the bank on the south side, from Picnic area 21 (I think), and up. On the north side you're restricted to the area from Fiddens Wharf Road and upstream. Boat fishing is allowed anywhere past the boat shed and baitfishing is prohibited anywhere on the river upstream of the weir.

Reeso Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Im up for it. I want a monster carp to put in my pond at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanker Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Puk, Yeah I do know about the rules, which is why I am thinking about a secret night mission. Only considering being a bit naughty as the carp are such miserable creatures and pests. So what do drummer look like then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 There are two kinds, although around Sydney the black drummer is much more common than the silver one. The black drummer is much darker in colour than a blackfish and lacks the vertical bars. It is also much thicker for its length. If there was a fish rugby team blackfish would play in the backs, but drummer would play in the front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianniz Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 anyone of you guys have those super long rod without reel thingy (those ones chinese people use) They are awesome when you hook one of those big carps.. I remember when I was little fighting for like 10minutes because the rods so long and thin plus the line is very weak! Anyway is this lane cover river? where about is it? I am in if you guys can organise a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
