I fish a lake in Christchuirch, New Zealand that has a large tench population and it is understood that it was originally stocked with carp but nobody has cought or landed one for many years. Whilst fishing for tench some anglers have been smashed and the presumption is that it may have been a carp. I would like to fish specifically for the carp and would appreciate your advice on how to go about it and what bail to use etc. The other thing to consider is that any specific carp bait I would have to make myself as its not available here. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Eddie
