Nice post G.

Prayers to all who are affected in the disaster in both China and Myanmar.

BBQ on the boat ... damn that looks real tasty.

At least you caught some fish!

Congrats! Really enjoy seeing all the smiles from the family reports .

now it's time to hook her up with a carp on the barbie rod

Congrats on your first carp! I still remember how excited I was ... and it was only 5lbs lol.

come'on ... lets see your face with the big smile

Looks a really nice place! Good luck on the opener!

Congrats on the Maiden Voyage! Those are some nice eyes!

Great report and pics Steve!!!

 

Ya gotta love a woman that sends you out fishin' on Mothers Day!!!

I 2nd that.

Great catch! (pun intended lol)

Loving the family reports cliff! It seems that we're seeing less and less of you with a fish

Congrats Sydney for the PB!

Great day to be out on the water and nice fish to boot!

Congrats on first fish of the season and kudos to the park staff!

a 24lb fish to start to season, it's gonna be a good one!

Congrats on first of the year! i have to go get mine soon too

Congrats man! Got some weight on those fish too!

Love the 2nd shot.

Beauties!! You guys have got some long clean fish over there! I sure don't mind french-kissing one like that

Congrats on the PB Fishnsled ... they only get bigger once they start feeding now!

Thanks for the update Steve, good to know that they'll fine.

yup it's lots of fun ... it's like a "warm-up" for the season for other species

looks to be a really nice/quiet spot.

i find fish that size fight fairly good

that's an amazing trip! i enjoyed reading the entire thing!

Thanks for sharing!

That's alot of great info FHR! Thanks for sharing it with everybody.

the fishing spot at the last picture is beautiful.... wish I can fish at some place like that in the future ...

thanks for sharing!

Congrats!

Dang, i wish birthday comes more than once every year.

geez Mike, go fish. You're always beating me

Is there a season on carp? I don't see it in the magazine. And I'm taking it you are allowed to use corn as bait?

Nope, carp is open all year long at places where they dont' close fishing for the winter (examples would be ... rice lake, little lake, etc).. and Yes corn is allowed as bait.

beauties!

the fish in the 2nd pic looks pretty ticked off

usually they have the "bleh who cares if I get caught" face ...

do i sound crazy?

man i need to go get one.

some good links thier. I have just started using a hair rig and jsut want to ask when do you set the hook? I haven't got a bite on it yet so I don't know wheter to expect short tugs or one big one. Any advice?

it really depends on how the carp takes your bait ... but i find it's more often that they give you a strong tug rather than short small ones initially. Once the carp sense that it's being hooked, it will make a run for it for sure ... i have never had one that just sit there after it gets itself hooked. This all happens within like 5 seconds or so.

you might want to talk to cliff (ccmt) about this. he doesn't like to use bite alarms/indicators as he likes to feel all the action (nibbles, bumps, takes). I use my alarm all the time so all i hear is beeps ... he can give you more insight.

congrats on a great outing...

can't see the pics though ... it's because of the "b...album" .. on the right bottom corner of the photobucket there should be a "URL link" for u

Never fished that side, do you park the car in the park and WALK all the way over?

 

I like the idea of having another one a few weeks later... summer is only that long, can't waste any of it.

Agreed.

Sounds good capt bruce ... looks like a great swim from google map. In fact I work a few minutes away so i might have to try it one of these evenings. Thanks for sharing it with us.
