Carpin off of L Erie trib today

[splashhopper]

I didn't have to work today and decided to head down to a little tributary off of Lake Erie for some solitude and maybe a fish or two.

 

Had the creek all to myself most of the day.

 

I caught this 25" carp using a bait mix of: oatmeal and peanut butter on a # 6 lazer hook ( no hair rig either! lol)>>

 

 

and the guy I fished with last Monday night caught this one with the same set up( about 5 inches longer and 5lbs heavier)>>

Nice carp! All it takes is a hook, sinker and bait to catch a carp! Thanks for sharing.

Nice fish. Gotta love that we can access these great fish so close to home. I think you need to tussle with a good one or two to really appreciate how fun it can be. Great pics.
