Me with a Carp taken the same day as the one above. There would be more pics but as you may have seen, Tom M, is not so steady with a camera.

nice bowfin! beauty! those are some stout carp as well.

Your photos are making me jealous; I wish I could see the ground right now. We got 15" of snow yesterday. It will be awhile before the rivers clear up. Plus are lakes are still locked up with ice.

what baits were you using? thanks for sharing!

Things are just starting to hop around here. I was out taking temps today. Small rivers were running around 48 degrees and the back bays on two lakes were at 50 and 54 degrees. So the Walleye spawn is on or just about over and the White Bass are on the run. It surely isn't a good time of year to have a job.

Oh, we had the hook pull out of a nice Carp today also. It picked up the bait and just headed away. Drag screaming and not turning back. No question of it being a Carp, no other fish takes line that steady and long. I can't see how someone wouldn't want to catch a Carp.

We were throwing Jig/swimbaits (Lime green/orange Mimic minnows) today. Draging them slowly over a clam bed below rocks and a dam.

You should take the time to fish this area for Carp in the spring. I would like say more but some people would like to stick them with arrows and as you know, there is no CPR in Bow hunting.

I've had buffalo do the same thing. Either way, you're in for a battle!

I hear you about keeping hush hush on the good spring spots, especially after May 1 ;\)

sounds like you're having some fun out there. Hopefully it will warm up a bit this week and I can go back and hit the river hard.

The scale we had it on read 10 lbs. Though it was really unreliable.

Initial estimates put the fish at 12 pounds, but neither of us had any clue on the state record so we just photographed it, tried to weight it, and put it back.

nice dog man, I caught my first and a couple more last year. heck of a fight, biggest was close ten lbs. I was fishing crapps with waxies when I saw a few cruising around. There were a bunch of nasty minnows on shore someone dumped,I put 5 or 6 on the hook and they would just nail it, could barely tell which one i hooked. Soon as one knew it was hooked they all followed thrashing like the one on the line. Pretty crazy in 2 ft. of water. Must have been starving.
