Carp and other Rough fish pics

[LOTWSvirgin]

A few more suckers from today. Anyone know what kind of sucker these are??

[DTro]

Not sure of the species, but those are some great fish LOTW! I'm jealous.

[LOTWSvirgin]

Is there a certain part of the fish you need to see to ID them?? Some guy was saying they were Black suckers??

[DTro]

I don't see any reddish color on the fins, but the size would say Greater Redhorse.

From the coloring alone, I would go with White Sucker and pretty big ones ta boot.

Roughfish with a daught and a com has some good ID's for you

[poorB]

those are some great fish. i would love to be catchin those.

[Mudcatman]

Those are all White Suckers, really nice ones too.

Heres my first fish of 2010...

Caught yesterday out of the Cannon River, along with one other Common. Fishing was pretty slow, but its gonna come around quick if we dont get much for rain.

[carpmanjake]

Jake, what are you using to catch them? I have tried almost everything and have only been able to catch one

i have been using left over waxies and eurolarvea from ice fishing.

if you are using corn, thats why. during the winter, corn is hard for carp to digest

LOTW, definately some nice size white suckers! saw one like that out fishing the other day. but never caught it

[roughfish29]

yup, white suckers. and durn big ones! and i second dtro, roughfish dot com is a good HSOforum to answer all your id questions

[CarpKing921]

Some sweet suckers you got there.

Jake you fishing that same area as last spring?

Been a pretty tough bite for me light biters with no commitment. I swithced to a fly and a waxie but still no go only 1 so far.

[carpmanjake]

Jake you fishing that same area as last spring?

yes i am

[carpmanjake]

I can complain about the cooler weather we had today. However, I cannot complain about the fishing

(sorry about the varying picture sizes. My phone can only send pictures up to a certain size (lower quality pics will be bigger)

[Carp-fisher]

Nice fish! I'm going to be on the prowl for some garden carp this week methinks....

[roughfish29]

nice fish as usual jake. looks like some good fun

hopefully, with the 70 degree weather by the end of the week, i'll finally connect with my first of 2010

[carpmanjake]

oh boy... today was incredible! more action than ever before! exactly one year from the hottest day of fishing, at the same spot, last year!

i was joined by two youngsters who wanted to fsih for bass. but after i told them that bass season was closed, i hooked into a little 5lb carp. of course, like any kids, they wanted to catch one two!

eventually, one turned into two, which turned into three. all they were saying is "this is fun!"

it wasnt long before we got our first double.

after a few more fish, i went home, grabbed a sandwich, and a camera. and went back out.

ill let the pictures tell the rest of the story!

triple!

fish of the day! and biggest so far this year!

second triple! (mine was the second biggest fish of the day)

the day ender!

needless to say.... these boys are hooked!

[itchmesir]

awesome fish Jake

[Dylan33]

Wow...great work Jake, both on catching the fish and being cool enough to help the youngsters get in on the fun!

[roughfish29]

they'll never look at carp the same way ever again. good job

[Gordie]

starting to hook up with some suckers

[CrowRiverRat83]

Nice fish eveyone! Im headed out tomorrow for my first river trip to go after some carp, suckers, or cats. Hopefully I will be able to post some pics when I get back.

Elwood-

Nice to see the Greaters are there in good enough numbers for you to get 2 of them! That white is good sized. With a bonus silver.

I brought my 6 month old out and he took the pole from me.

[carpmanjake]

got my first white suckers of 2010. both were pretty decent size!

numero uno

numero dos

they couldnt resist the little earth worms i dug up! unfortunately, neither could a couple pike, and a walleye. but for some reason, the carp resisted taking it. quite odd if i say so myself....

Acctually we got five of them and about 15-20 of the white and silvers

[goblueM]

hey elwood... i know where that is how's the logjam just above the highway there? still open for passage or has it clogged back up?

[Gordie]

didnt look at it I will check it out tuesday and let you know last time I looked it was still jammed up but that was about a week ago

[goblueM]

cool thanks. curious as to what it looks like now, i havent seen it for awhile. used to be a cut passageway but i assume its clogged back up for the time being
