I’ve been an avid carp angler for nearly four decades now, and as I approach my 40th year in this pursuit, my passion for carp fishing remains as strong as ever. Over the years, my perspective has shifted, and I’ve learned to appreciate the journey more than the destination.
One of my recent fishing trips didn’t go as planned, but instead of frustration, I found contentment in simply watching and waiting. Nowadays, I derive immense joy from witnessing others’ successes on the bank. This is a far cry from my earlier days when I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t me reeling in the big Common or Mirror carp.
