For us humans it was an incredibly beautiful day on Lake St.Francis yesterday, but it made for a tough day of fishing.Mike (Musky Mike) invited me up to experience Carp fishing for the first time. Arrive at his place by 9.15am, and after picking up a day licence, we set off to a place he had scouted and baited the day before. We could see the Carp through crystal clear waters, not a ripple, and not exactly ideal for catching them either.If we could see them, then they sure could see us.
We spent 2 or 3 hours there and i at least caught one.Small in Mikes standards, about 16 lbs, but to me,it was like holding a bucking bronco by the nose and going for a ride. Carp....engineered like no other fish!!!
Mike was getting a bit Antsy, and when he asked if i wanted to go get some Eyes, well....he didnt have to ask twice.Quick lunch, short drive, and
Mikes buddy Zach came along with us, and caught the biggest fish of the day. I think it was his PB, 28in fat walley, easily 8-9 lbs
Was a nice sunset, and we fished till 9pm before heading in.
All in all, a very successful day on the water with good friends.We caught 11 really nice sized walleye, and i brough home my limit of 2-3 lb eating fish.
Thanks for another great day on the water and sharing your knowledge with me Mike
