Advantages: Peace and tranquility mixed with the occaisional adrenilin rush

Disadvantages: kit can be pricey

I was invited carp fishing by a friend five years ago now and I must say it has to be my favourite way to spend a day doing absolutely nothing. Oh yes you can spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds on equipment and you can spend every waking and non working hour sat on some lakeside trying to tease these elusive fish out of hiding, but to me just a few carefully bought items ( most second hand ) and about 15 weekends of the year with my mates or my own thoughts; aahhh heaven.
The best thing about it is probably just the peace and tranquility to be found on some of Britains quieter watersides watching all manner of wildlife interacting when suddenly..... whizz and away your line goes and your in to the fight and trying to land what must be the King of freshwater fish.
Carefully play it to the bank, gently land it in the net and then check it carefully and quickly admiring its beauty. Then as soon as possible put it carefully back and sit back to enjoy the quiet of the countryside once again.
