Spring Carp, It Starts

[Rich]

I'd say this was a 'Good Friday'! The carp were active, even surface feeding and splashing in some spots. Bites were tough as the water was crystal clear, but a lotta chum and a lotta patience, me and the GF were able to land a couple. Good day out, dunkin corn in the backyard.

Right on man! What did ya catch em on? Every time I go fishin' for carps they elude me. They'll be all around the bait... but no takers. Any tips?

[Rich]

Hook/corn on the bottom, and a few cans of sweet sweet chum does the ticket for me!

 

If you'd ever like to tag along in the spring I'd gladly show you how I do it. I'm not so advanced but I catch a lot of fish, and some real good ones when they run the erie tribs, in about a month !
