My son caught his first carp on Thursday.
He's also caught some perch, some roach and some tench.

He has caught the fishing bug...could you point me in the way of a 'starter' rod and the tackle he will need?

Careful now, it starts off as catching carp, but before you know it he'll have him
gassing jews.

If only the bait shops didn't keep stocking Hassidics next to the mealworms
it always ends in tears.
