carpmanjake Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i went back out again today. right when i got down there i seen a good 8lb fish feeding 25 feet away. i rigged up and was about to cast to the fish when i noticed a big tail break he surface down the shoreline from the fish. i snuck a little closer and casted to the fish that was feeding in some mucky leaves and branches about 15 feet from shore. this fish was much bigger than what i have been fishing. i pitched to the fish. and almost immediatly i hooked up to the fish. i fought her for about 15 minutes before landing her! it was a while before the fish started coming back in. but eventually i hooked up with another good fish! about 50 feet away (exactly where the bigger one came from) some fish were still feeding. so i released her and stalked toward the other fish. i pitched to the biggest of the bunch. and she turned away. i recasted, she came toward it slowly then turned away again. i re pitched it again. she came up and stopped right by the bait before hesitantly sucking it up. FISH ON! then fishing slowed again. the wind picked up a bit, and it got colder and my camera started dying. but i kept fishing. eventually landing 2 more fish before packing up to go home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondarider550 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great job carpmanjake!! Nice fish. Im sure that it was quite a rush when you had fish on...Just wondering carpmanjake... Do you smoke your catch or something like that or release them... Just wondering. I am thinking that I would like to try bow fishing some carp sometime.

carpmanjake Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 only a waxworm?!? yep. actually a few lol. but carp are looking for food containing alot of protien. and waxworms are a great source of it. making it a great bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
