fatherof3 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well,after seeing the pics they wanted to go so off we went again.We just took my rod and I told them we would take turns as I wanted them to have a try.First up was the 6 year old.I hook into a carp for him and hand him the rod.I pretty much worked the rod for him and told him to real or to stop.He did a very good job actually getting the carp right to shore.I tell him to just hold the rod and I will go get it.Just as I am reaching down he pulls the rod back and the line goes SNAP! I actually made a mad dash after the carp but with no luck.He was pretty upset as this one was bigger than the ones I had this morning.After calming him down and setting up again I hook into another one.I hand the rod to the older boy,who wants to do it himself, and the fight is on.I am trying to offer tips but after 1 long run he lowers the rod just enough for the carp to spit the hook.Now we are 0/2.I told them that at least they now have a taste of it.Now it is my turn and sure enough... This one took forever to bring in and the boys were amazed at the fight.We tried for a little longer but with no luck so we left.They are both already talking about when they catch one tomorrow.I guess I can force myself to take them out again,lol.

Rizzo Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 nice looking fish! How in the world do you find time to go fishing that often though? I clearly need a different job (oh ya and a family that enjoys fishing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatherof3 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 hey Rizzo,my secret is simple.Be low man at work,get laid off and have nothing better to do.The free time will come to an end soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 haha..low man on totem pole is the way to great fishing I guess! Unfortunately my wife's shopping habits prohibit me from taking this approach. That's why I'm an OFC'er...to live vicariously through others' fishing adventures. Thanks for all your reports everyone!

Jay T Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Good for you man, you have been into them carp good the past couple of days. Next time I am sure the boys will land one, at least they got to feel how strong they are. WTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wow...fantastic results!! 3 hook ups in a short while is a great evening of carping. Great job....it's an experience your kids wont forget and will make it all the sweeter for them when they manage to bring one in for themselves.

Jen Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 The kids will figure it all out soon enough... Kudos to you for making memories with them that will last not only through their lifetime but be carried on through the generations. Nice fish!
