Any Luck?

I've been hitting up some local creeks and ditches and I'm finding fish, but not in numbers like I have in the past. I'm just wondering if you guys are finding any around. I've been out on the boat a couple times too, but even then I haven't had the best of luck.

It has been a really goofy year with the warm up then rain and cool down. The creeks haven't been the best for me,Ifound them with the really high water for 2 days then they dispersed. The lakes have been the most consistent at night so far.

Yeah early in the year a couple spots had carp stacked in them like you were saying but now since its been warmer out Idk I haven't been seeing them like I was I thought that I'd start to see more running, but oh well what can you do but check and shoot what you see. Good luck to you guys.

Went yesterday around 4pm to check and there werent nearly as many but they were still there. Going out today about 1pm, hopefully the wind stays down. Everything I saw yesterday nothing had much size to them but the quantity was good.

i didn't make it to check today... my dang nab wood chuck showed himself, but I ran out of time to wait him out to re expose himself while I was armed with the 243.... he lives another day...

maybe i'll find time to get after some carp sometime this weekend

me and this particular chuck have been facing off for 2 months, but I am only at that other house once every few weeks or so... and only for a short time while i am there... i need to take a day and do some work around there, and just keep the ol gun handy...

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
