Hey there DrownedDesertRat,
Love your board name! I live in Long Beach, a two hour drive from Big Bear Lake. Barstow, yikes Modesto, Oildale all these little towns that are a little piece of he..... heaven. At least in the summer.
Carp are fun. How many knots do you have in your knot arsenel? Even though it depends on what kind of line you use and fish sought, you ought to be proficient in at least 5 or 6 ties. I like the following knots for all-around fishing. Palomar, Blood or Albright, Triline or double improved cinch, drop loop and even snell. Be assured there's lots of others that you may find will become your favorite. If one becomes your favorite, it's time to learn another knot. ha ha
Good carp fishing. England and Japan have huge populations of carp angler purists!
