Finally got the chance to get back to the lake for a quick trip yesterday with my step-son. Decided to do some carp fishing and it truly renewed my love for those ugly fish. We knocked out about 10 between 4 and 6 lbs, and I got one that was a shade over 12. He also caught a 1lb striper, and a turtle...lol...My stepson also hooked into one that took about 50 yards of line on him at first, and to his credit he fought it for a good 10 minutes, drag screaming throughout, until it finally came loose...must have been a good one!!!
Most of my fishing is going to be carp fishing I think from now on...it's a fun, relaxing time...still challenging (especially when the carp can see you through 20ft of water!!), and they really fight like crazy. It's not the most glamorous of fish to go after in the US, but I LIKE IT!!
