Carp...have destroyed most if not all of Tasmania inland fishing,
When I use to live there, a bunch of us would fish most of the lakes around Tassie,
When we court a Carp we use to just leave them on the bank until we we was told that they can keep breathing for hour's,
so after that off go the head to make sure it dead,
Carp court on the mainland in a running stream are good eating, so I been told,
Watch a fishing show where they court some Carp from a running stream, placed the Carp in a old bathtub out side with clean water for 24 hour then filleted them, cut them up in to bite sizes , batter on them , cooked in hot oil, served them up to a bunch of blokes in a pub, they did not tell this blokes what kind of fish it was to after they had eaten it,
All the blokes really like the Carp,
Most of them said that they look at Carp in a different way now,
But I recon that it proves is that you can feed a bloke anything when he's been drinking
Free feed is always a great day in my books
