Fish4Eyes Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have only ever caught 1 eye there. Lots of cats, carp, and sheep head to keep you busy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 There are some monster carp in there. Chum the area good and throw a hook in there with some corn on it. You`ll be surprised how big they get and how hard they fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammercarp Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 They are getting perch on minnows there. But for great fun take marko's advice. Here's a Portmaitland carp from Sun. June 7 It was 16 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8tivebigguy Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey thanks for all the suggestions. I will have to try out chumming and the corn. Thats a really nice size carp you have there hammercarp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Try chicken liver for the cats as well, and leave it out to roast in the sun so it gets more stinky. The big girls may still be kicking around. But if your after size, target the carp this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8tivebigguy Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I've been having alot of luck catching some cats and big carp around here up river on the grand. Two weeks ago i caught a pretty big carp and it was 34"-22lbs. I tried to take a pic with my phone but they don't have a flash for night time.
