well after a HORRIBLE trip on Monday where i only landed bull gills,seeds and green tiger sunfish and 1 dinky bass i said fudge it i am carping it up. Made my special brew and got the rigs together and was it the right decision!
most amazing carping i ever saw 12 for 22 on fish from 3 to what had to be 20lbs that snapped my medium in 3 as i tried dragging it ashore I couldn't keep a bait in the water from 5:30-6:50 they were on it as soon as it hit bottom I even had a fish run with hard i set the hook he popped off and within2 seconds came back for the bait! just an unreal night wish i had more pics but my camera crapped out i am off to get a new 1 asap as i hate fish storys with no proof. I also landed 2 hard shelled roast beef that were promptly let go and saw 3 water snakes awesome evenng!at the park!!

Mr.Wells i have eaten carp but i usually release i fish a good walk from where i park and down a steep hill so i try not to lug a lot of stuff with me. If those hard shelled beefs were snappers good chance i would of eaten them ahah and i had no left over bait i ran out! recipes for carp bait or turtle and carp lol i will say as soon as the sun went down and the wind picked up the bite died

BD i have no idea why more peeps don't go after Philly Tarpon it is cheap as heck 2 cans of corn cost $2 some size 10 hooks and some small egg sinkers and you get a fish thats going to run you around the lake screaming drag!

I was kayaking at a local lake today. Saw a lot of big carp splashing around all over the lake. I'm going back with a few cans of corn. What else can I use to catch carp?
