splashhopper Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 dang, what is up with all these carp reports.i gotta try this carp thing! nice fish there I thought the same thing Kevin... now I KNOW what these guys "see" in em.. great fight... not as tough as a big rainbow,, but one helluva tug on the 10.5ft rod and 6lb test line ! No special skills required either I caught this one and two more same size on a # 10 hook and bread ball Kneeded up real tight on a weightless line. I remembered the others here saying to let the carp take the bait and go with it for a bit before setting the hook. GOOD ADVICE as i got a little excited on the first three hits I had. lol Give it a try man,,, they are FUN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Carp fishing on light equipment is awesome, its even better when you can spot them and watch them hit. Nice fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splashhopper Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 took my daughter out tonight for a couple hours. Had two on.. one wrapped me right around a log.. had to cut the line... as he wasn't moving back second one ran straight under some brush on the opposite bank... got me all tangled up in them How big were they? i But i do know, my daughter wants her own pole now and she thinks this was "fun daddy". when can we go again daddy ? cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
