Jeff, was out near your place today. Think I actually found your channel buoys? Anyway, I got to break in my new BFT Spinning rod. Had it rigged with 8 lb. line and a #1 bait hook with a worm between a couple hummocks where the reeds were sticking up with about a 10 yard gap of water between the reed beds, and the water I would guess about 3 feet deep. At the same time had a heavier rod with 12 lb. line out a big circle hook. Now the idea was catch some medium size carp to use for cut bait on the new rod, and maybe hook up a good size Cat at on the other one. Well, worked out just backwards. Within one minute of each other, I had a hard hitting, running, rolling Cat on the new rod, and while I was trying to get it set on my contest bump board, the heavy rod drag started screaming. Got it in and it was a good sized Carp.
Is there a side Carp contest this year ?
The Cat is 22 inch, caught at Benson Marina today 8 June 16.
The Carp is 24 inch (I think) caught about a minute
later.
[#00ff00]Good for 22 cat, 24 carp points... Nice job... J[/#00ff00]
