Thanks for the tips. I will have to try that out.. These carp I've seen today where big. Hooking into 1 while on the kayak should be fun.

i have never fished for them from any kind of w/c the key ios to be quiet and move as little as possible they are very skittish so be sure you anchor or set somewhere stable
