Obsessed Carper Group: CAG Member Posts: 1741 Joined: 20-March 05 From: Mount Joy, Pa. Member No.: 1098	Well, my stepson and I fished from midnight until 6 AM. He caught the first one between us at exactly 11 minutes after midnight. It was a mirror of 4 pounds 2 ounces. I finally got on the board at 1:08 with a mirror of 4 pounds 7 ounces. At 2:30 AM we switched ponds to try for the baby phone award. At 2:40 he caught one weighing 15 ounces. At 2:50 I caught one weighing 14 ounces. Between 3 and 4 I caught 2 more in the 1 pound 2 ounce range. At 4:10 we made our rondevous with Lowell King. Jed (my stepson) then caught an 8 ounce mirror carp at 4:50 AM. The best I could do was a 12 ounce mirror at 4:40 AM. Lowell caught two fish before 6 Am. Both were right around the 1 pound 2 ounce range too. We definitely got soaked, but had an enjoyable time. Will post pictures later today. Good luck everyone! Ray
