Welcome to Carp ‘O’ Mania

Every fish, is a brew missed. Every brew, is a fish missed.

— Confucius…probably.

This is our first blog post. It isn’t terribly interesting but its a bit of an insight into things to come and a look into us.

This is basically a place that offers an insight into the downright below average amateur carp angling from the three of us – Jon, Kev and Mad.

So, about us. We’re gonna do some profile pieces later on about us so this is just a quick intro.

First up is Jon, oldest of the group at 28 and in turn the most experienced. Jon started fishing at a very early age and Jon will tell you himself that his 12 year old self would embarrass his 28 year old self on the bank, but an over a decade hiatus from the carp scene will do that to you

Next up is Kev, 26, cousin to Jon, body like a beachball and balding rapidly. Kev started his angling career aged 12 with Jon as his early mentor. His first fish was hooked with such exuberance, it was retrieved from a bush behind him. Kev also took a 10 year hiatus that damaged his angling skills, but he’s back with a bang.

Lastly Mad, 22, all but bald and ginger to boot. Brother to Kev and cousin to Jon, he has the least angling experience. Only an occasional angler in his youth, he is pretty much starting from scratch as a member of the COM faction. Known for almost dying one time at Greenwood Lakes during a winter frost, he is improving rapidly and will be soon up to speed.

That’s all you need for now, like I say profile pieces, COM reports and other stuff will be available in due course.

We haven’t agreed on a sign off just yet, so here’s Hulk Hogan flexing brother.
