My friend came out with me for his first carp outing, hits back to back carp in the mid twenties.

First one 26 lbs, caught on one of my 16mm sweet dream boilies.

Second one 23 lbs, also on sweet dream, but 26mm. Somewhat of a muddler.

Think he may be hooked...

Yes indeed. When I got started, it took me a couple years to hit the 25+ mark

There has to be a thread here somewhere - what does one need to get starting carp fishing?
