Carp update

[dsn]

Well I was back out there today from 8am. Saw some feeders around but they never stayed long. Grabbed a mouth full of food and left. Been doing that all day til 10:20am. A carp decided he couldn't hold it anymore. Trumpet sounded by two jumps maybe three. And they all got together for a meeting. The show was over on my part.

Thiers just begun.

I think we need a good rain. Cause not many are around as of yet. The smell of fresh rain should stir them up more.

I can't wait to hit the island. The carp there are more plentiful and fatter and bigger!! But the water temps are warmer in the city than the island last time I checked.

I was out looking for crappie on the bay today and went into this one big back bay and it was just loaded with carp.Had to number in the thousands.We switched over to a hook and a worm (had no corn) no takers but sure was fun to see.There were some monsters in there.

Just got back home after putting in 12 hours of carping in a local swim. Saw at least a dozen carp cruising around, but they were not in the mood. One did decide to bite late in the evening, thankfully saving me from getting skunked. It was heavenly music to hear the bite alarm going off and the drag screaming after so many months. It's only going to get better from now on.
