The word papgooi comes to mind...

...maybe they should tie a Senko to one of their hooks as well.

I've seen quite a couple of dead carp on the sides of the river when they still had boats. It's surprising to see they allow people to fish of the side like that taking into consideration how "difficult" they have been in regards to fishing in the past.

The guys were actually catching trout!!!! So the trout came from trout farm/cages where they were fed pellets. Pellets very similiar to the 'floaties' carp fisherman use. These fisherman tell me that the first time they came to Mofam was to catch Carp. Obviously they caught no carp but to their surprise they caught 15 trout. (2 weekends ago). Last weekend the water was much warmer and they only caught 1 trout of 3.5kg!

Luckily all catch and release.

I must say I was flabbergasted when I first saw Carp fisherman at Mofam!

I can believe that. Forgot about the trout. Didnt think they would be eating so deep.

When I worked at the Trout farm in Jonkershoek we used to crush the pellets and make a pap and drop a hook between the cages while working and pull out a couple escapees.

Very cool! My dad caught one on a senko a few years back.

But the big question is have you caught carp at mofam?
