Default Day 366: Union County Carp

Since it was a leap year, today was the last day. I only had 30 minutes to fish, but the carp were on the chew mad-style the second we arrived. I hooked one within 10 minutes and after a nice fight, my fiancee took the second fish after another 30 seconds. Her fish peeled off 50 yards of drag but she fought it like a pro. The mudsub wouldn't give up and it took her over 10 minutes to get it in. What a great morning. Fish caught on corn...of course. I estimate both fish between 15 and 20 pounds.

Hey I live right near there. I didn't know there were such big carp in there. That pond was empty a year or 2 ago.

Yeah Danyeo, there's some nice fish in there. And thanks Fishon. I'm just gonna go back to blogging once a week instead of once a day. I'll still go fishing prob once a week and I'll get the report up.

Sorry Jmurr. I was just trying to let you know they were on the feed by me and was hoping you could get out and they'd be on the feed by you too. Went for a re-run tonight. Came tight with 2 but both came unglued. Not used to losing one fish little less two. One was small but the other was real nice.

Nice carp! It's good to see some other people are targeting them. I think I saw you post a fish ID question out of one of you're carp spots about a year ago back before I was a member. Those small fish you were catching that look similar to a baby common or a goldfish were actually Crucian Carp. They are common in NJ. They look almost the same as baby commons but don't have barbells.
