[Alameda Sharks and Rays]

What size hook do you use for these fish?

[New Pb Goldy!]

I caught this huge goldfish today, it was 9lbs 7oz of wet towel (it fought slighty harder). I'll post up a report later.

I take it that this fish did not fight like a common would have fought?

Dale,

Used to be, you could "entice" some of the marina fish into a fishable areas around that marina. Can you still?

Frank Walters said he could. I never tried.

Youtube has alot of videos of the carp in Lake Mead

Can you say Feeding Frenzy?

Would/could the fee definitely be considered a charitable contribution for IRS purposes?

That looks like a foto taken at a marina. At the Lake Mead marinas with restaurants, the carp get lots of leftovers from unfinished meals and they hang around in great numbers. But no fishing is allowed close to those marinas. At one of the marinas, I once placed a 2 inch range cube in the mouth of a distinctive 20+ lb carp. It then just slowly sank out of sight underneath the masses of other carps. Five minutes later he was back looking for more. Here's some more Lake Mead fotos.

Luv those river fish! That river sounds like a productive place to visit sometime.

Nice Story!

[30.5 lbs!]

Must have been a bundle of fun!!

And the new swim looks too easy - like catching fish out of a barrel.

But I'm looking forward to the first reports out of the new swim.

[Family Vacation]

Looks like a great vacation. Some mighty nice fish!! Must have been fun landing those fish with all the boats around.

[Quick report]

[Carp is in the eye of the beholder...]

VERY COOL!!

[A nice blank and a curse broken]

Excellent Story!!

Looks like an arapaima would be fun to land.

[Oregon Record Carp]

I am 80% positive I just caught and released the Oregon record Carp

I tried to find the Oregon record for carp. Seems like Oregon does not keep records for carp. At least I could not find any such records. I checked:

http://www.landbigfish.com/staterecords/re...fm?state=Oregon

http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ODFWhtml/InfoCn...ishRecords.html

My questions then are: What is your source for establishing the "Oregon record carp"? And, what is the Oregon record carp?

[Buff on da fly]

Now that is COOL.

[Ducks eating my maze - how do I stop this?]

With maize, you're scrood unless you fish at night.

I don't know if it'll work, but it might be worth a try to use a 1" to 1.5" long range cube on a hair rig. In my experience, the ducks can't handle the range cubes altho they sometimes try to. Try "feeding the ducks" with the range cubes so that they begin to realize that they're too big to handle. The cubes also are generally dirt brown in color which camouflages them somewhat.

You are Top Class, Horace. Such a great sense of humor! I may not always reply, but I think I read almost every one of your posts. It would be so pleasant if the world were full of guys like you. Happy Carpin.
