mike rousseau Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 well... in previous years the earliest ive ever caught a carp has been April 2nd... this year a new friend landed one on March 15th... and i was happy to be his net man... it was small... but sometimes the small ones mean more then the big ones... then i got a posse together and headed out on the 18th... we had 4 runs and landed 3 of them... so each of us landed a March carp that day and one of my new found friends got his first ever carp and biggest fish ever.... i love being able to help people do that... then me and a buddy got out today... and man was it hot... we were sprawled out in our chairs with our shirts off just BAKING in the sun... skin got a BIT pink today...lol today we had 6 runs in 2 different spots and landed 3... all small but still fun in march... only one pic from today because they were so small but my friend wanted a pic of his new smallest carp ever...lol mike
Rod Caster Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Beauty fish. It looks to be a Loooong soft water season this year. I wonder if we get any decent carp runs around here
Pikeslayer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Nice Mike. Who put the lipstick on the fish?
mercman Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Great report Mike. Zack looks right at home, and Ghislain was saying he is "HOOKED" deep for Carp now!!! Can't wait to get out with you again. Maybe after the wedding
The Urban Fisherman Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Way prettier fish then those god awful looking muskies you usually target! haha good work man - I'm a big fan of Carp fishing... don't get to do it as much as I'd like! cheers, Ryan
spinnerbaitking Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Some nice looking fishies for March, what were they hitting Corn? Tight Lines SBK
mike rousseau Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Some nice looking fishies for March, what were they hitting Corn? Tight Lines SBK Yup... Canned corn... Only 1-2 kernels... Keep it small early... Also had some runs on a trimmed down boilie... And one of the rods we were using method mix... The other just had the corn... And we put no freebies out....
Harrison Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Nice guitar pics there! I'll take my lil one down to the bay this weekend and give it a go. Thanks for posting.
Mike Pike Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Yup, this early spring( or summer? )has got the carp going earlier than last year. An nice bonus for those of us who enjoy fishing for 'em. Good job by you and your buds, Mike. Nice, clean looking carp you guys hooked into there! And a good tip about not over feeding yet.

And a good tip about not over feeding yet. yeaeh... right now your fishing for one bite at a time... your goal is that single bite... then if you get it... worry about the next bite... and so on... but in a month... you wanna set the BUFFET for em... you'll wanna have multiple fish feeding at all times... and LOTS of bait going in steady all day....
