I have a question. Are there any good books with containing good information about carp & buffalo? And what I mean is, about their habits, and on how to locate and find them year round.

There seems to me that there's not much info on these species. I caught my first buffalo 20yrs ago "What a rush".

I don't know about books, but these links ought to get you started as well as the Info at the top. Also fish-ins are a great way to learn.

Korda Rigs

Carp Fishing Tactics - Read all the way down



Also, Korda makes some carp fishing videos that show how they set up their swim for session fishing. May be something worth taking a look at as many of us set our swims up similarly on this side of the pond. Youtube videos are good for basics too.



PB Buff - 56lbs
PB Common - 26lbs
PB Mirror - 7lbs
PB Grasser - 45lbs
PB Koi - 10lbs

This information is of course for bank fishing with rods and reels. We can't help you if are killing them.

That being said, experience is the best teacher.



PB Common Carp....... 38 lbs
PB Mirror Carp........12 lbs 8 oz
PB SM Buffalo........ 53 lbs
PB Grasser........... 48 lbs 4 oz
PB Blue cat.......... 17 lbs (caught on maize)
