Deciding where to go carp fishing can be a daunting prospect to the newcomer. There are some good guides around but very often they leave you with an awful lot of options that you know very little about. So how do you pick the best carp fishing venue for you? The following may help you narrow your choices a little.

You first need to decide what it is that you want to fish for. There is no point in joining an expensive syndicate lake with only a handful of large carp in it if you want to bag up on smaller specimens. On the other hand, if you are looking to catch your first 20 or 30, then there is no point in fishing a club pond full of 5lb fish. Funds are unfortunately nearly always an issue, and if they are limited, then you are better off joining a club with several waters or fishing day ticket waters. You don't want to spend out a lot of money joining a carp fishing syndicate that you only fish twice a year. This may all sound rather obvious, but I have known people to complain that they never catch any big carp, when they spend their time fishing a water containing thousands of 5lb fish and nothing else.
