It's that time of year again. The time of year I spend more time carp fishing than sleeping, eating, working...and this month is off to a slow but good start. I went out at midnight on May first to start the month. I figured I'd try for the first fish award and I hooked up with a heavy fish around 12:40am, but it found a snag and came unbuttoned. I was kind of pissed but it turns out it wouldn't have counted anyway (wtg Frank!) I ended up getting a small 14+ a little more than an hour later and called it quits shortly after that. I didn't fish the next few days because of the rain and work so I headed out this morning on my day off. I started off at a new swim but after 3 hours without a bump I moved to a different spot. Fishing was slow, only 2 fish, but my 2nd fish was a fat 33lb 2oz female. Now that's more like it! I'm looking forward to the rest of the month. Can't wait to go up to Baldwinsville and the St. Laurence to hit some big fish waters with some good friends.

Good start. I'd say you have some "BIG" fish waters right there where your at. With last years results and already getting a thirty, I don't see any potential problems for you!

Not to mention the 50.....I'd kill to live near a tidal section of any river. Someday.

I should have said NEW big fish waters that I haven't tried before. I've actualy never fished in NY for carp before. Can't wait!

I agree with you carpoholic! Someday (I hope) I'll live on a big body of water. I'll install automatic fish feeders to throw out chum twice a day to establish feeding grounds right on my property. Turn it off for two days, put on a back support and go to work! Lol! Wise man once told me "you can wish in one hand and shvt in the other and see which one fills up first"! I found humor in that!!!!
