    Last year I came up when your state government was closed and I could not buy a license so we drove to Wisconsin and did some "catch anything fishing". When I am there in July we would interested meeting up for some carp. My son (who lives in Pine Island) just called me Saturday wanting some guidance to catching something other than brim, perch and drum. Unfortunatly I could offer no advice since I am a southerner.

    I like fishing with people even if I catch less fish. I like meeting fellow fisherman.

    And I like to see others catch fish.

    I get my quiet time when trying new swims.

    So I guess I don't have this problem, but then there are just not that many carpers in Texas and numerous swims to pick from.

    Newbie: Which Line Size On My Reel?

    I am a big fan of 30 or 40 pound power pro braid, if you take precaution it will be safe.

    It is particularly good with running rigs because of its sensitivity (you will see every twitch or bumb) and quick hook ups. Also good when fishing in rocks or pulling fish out of heavy weeds. There are a lot of advantages to a no stretch line.

    You will also lose less tackle with it. Most hooks or hook lengths will break or bend before it will break.

    You do have to set your drag right and play the fish differently. The lack of stretch can cause hook pulls if you are not careful. It is also much more expensive but it will lasts for years.

    I do use mono for float fishing, but that is it.

    I guess everyone has to find there own preference. I believe my love for running rigs and fishing also for Buffalo pushes me over to the braid camp.

    How Do You Prepare Maize ?

    I believe soaking helps it puff up a bit in a shorter boil.

    Not sure for the need for dechlorintated water since the chlorine would be disapated before the the boil ended.

    And maize itself would mask any flavor from it. But then I could be wrong.

    I now know of several people in the DFW area wanting to get into carp I now know of several people in the DFW area wanting to get into carp fly fishing. We need to have a carp flyfishing get together, not necessarily to catch fish, but to learn.

    I have a few contacts with Dallas Flyfishers, maybe between our current DFW CAG members and a few outsiders we can get this figured out.

    Brian, while waiting for a run, practice on brim and LM Bass.

    Fun day

    Great day Kyle! :D

    In shallow lakes I like to find spots that are at least a little deeper. I would use the weight and bobber to find these dips or ledges. Some lakes seem like they are very flat, but most likely there is some contour somewhere.

    In my experience these tend to be great spots (summer especially).
