rhare Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 This weekend I thought I would try something different for a change. Its been a few years since I fished carp so we gathered the goodies a few buddies and down to the bay we went. The carp where in transition, some spawning some crusing and feeding. We chummed the area with some sweet corn and tied up some hair rigs. Wasnt long before we got in to them and it was non stop for the day. We landed piles and broke off a bunch more. Had to end up getting some 30lbs braid as the sharp rocks started to take a toll on the tackle. Had plenty of double and even triple headers. biggest fish went just over 40lbs!! we landed 5 fish over 30lbs. Most between 12-20lbs and the odd little guy. All and all a great weekend. Dan with the first carp of the year a wee guy! home made carp and cat pod works great for about $40 40lbs beast!! I could barely hold it. Alex with his first carp at 33lbs another 30+ Braden with a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhare Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 That's some great fishing right thar dood. Nice leather too. Where's the 40??? Hope some people come by and pick up the trash in that one pic. Great numbers of fish and the spot looks mint. Quality time with the buds fer sure. Oddly enough the 40 doesnt look like the biggest fish in the pics, but we had the scale with us and weighted them in the live release net. A couple I though would go over 30 for sure only went 22-25??? hard fish to guesstimate the weight. Heres another pic of the 40 solid fish I think it ate some rocks!! lol. As for the garbage I ALWAYS have a garbage bag with me, the place was cleaner then when I got there. Spent extra time clean up a mess of fishing line so the local swans wouldnt get into it.
