new kid on the block

Hi everyone, thought i should introduce myself. Iv just joined the site i live in wolverhampton, and used to fish on the local match circuit. Due to a bad car crash i havent been able to fish for a few years, so i am looking to get back into it.

I do have a couple of questions that i shall put in another thread. Im sure i shall get to know you all in due course. Does the site have any matches booked?

You'll need to keep your eye on the TA Matches thread Mout.
At present the only ones posted are being organised by individual members:-
Canal match 18 March
Alders Farm 8th April
TA at Rolfs 24 May - FULLY SUBSCRIBED!

chizz thanks for that, you may be able to answer a question, i was reading magazines yesterday and hearing the phrase F1 carp what exactly is this referrign to?

I'll try my best Mout.
1. They are a crucian carp/comon carp hybrid
2. They don't breed ,not having the necessary
3. They tend not to grow above 3lb(possibly due to competition for food on commercials)
4. They do tend to feed better in the Winter than common carp.
Hope that helps!
