Carp are biting

[Seanstone]

Went catfishing Thursday night and ended up getting skunked. We had all the right bait, (chubs, shad, crawlers.) and had the lake darn near to ourselves. At about midnight we called it a trip. Once we got the boat in and secure I took a rather large can of corn, quart probably, and tossed it off of the bank. Saturday I talked Amanda and Rylan into carp fishing, so we made our way to the spot that I had baited a couple days ago. It didn't take long and we had our first carp of the year.


This one ended up going 14lbs. 15oz.


Finally got the pics of Rylan, here's his 9lb 15oz carp.


I ended up catching another carp at a little under 5lbs, and Rylan caught a 9lb. 15oz carp. Not the monsters I was hoping for but it was fun anyway.

Thanks Kip. Biggest carp I've got out of Rocky Fork Lake, ussually just get the smaller ones out of there. Girlfriend wanted to catch her first carp so I took her to the same spot yesterday. The wind was crazy, waves were braking over the docks, made it tough to fish but we tried anyway. Only caught a few crappie and bluegill and she lost a pretty nice largemouth around 2lb.

Yesterday was rough I agree. Bait was tough i only caught one shad in the net but i did catch a dozen or so big golden shiners. Along with 50 or 60 Crappie. They were all holding tight against the docks.

Glad to hear u guys are finding time to get out on the water and finding some fish too...hopefully bait will soon be easier to come across!
