  1. Yo Matt, Congrats again buddy. I'll never forget, as this was the heaviest carp I have seen until this morning. It is funny, how much bigger it looked, after netting it.

    I am due for a 30+, had it with those 20+ slim male fighters. I want the fat chick :P

  2. So last weekend I took 3 of my squash students fishing, as they were bugging me about it for a while. They were convinced, that fishing was all abbout bobber+worm= bass. Here are some pictures from that day. I got to tell you, see the joy on their faces was priceless. One of them got almost janked into the water by a mid-20 river monster :-)

  3. Tom! Sorry for the misspell. With my 9 month old daughter in my lap, it wasn't an easy job.

    My session started at 8:00AM this morning, in NJ, at the Rahway River. The water temperature was 45 degree Fahrenheit. I have fished 4 hours.

    I chose to set up 3 different rigs, for fun experimental purpose.

    -Helicopter rig: 2 oz led, short 3-4 inch fluorocarbon hook length, size 6 Pro Logic hook.

    Bait: 1 My own 2.chow(trout pellets) with hot sauce

    Pick Up: 1 piece of fake buoyant corn (tried to vary the colors during the day)

    -Pay Lake Rig: I have learned this method just recently from a guy named:Sir Top Brooks. I haven't used it up until today, so I am not feeling it yet. This man was very kind to show me, and tell me so much info, I was most impressed with him.

    very short 3 inch double #17 lbs hook length because of the cold water temperature, and the giant scary single hook.

    bait: 1.My own 2.Chow with hot sauce

    pick up: whole/half plain corn puff

    -Feeder rig(euro stye)4lbs hook length, size 14 colmic hook, small TopMixUSA cage feeder.

    bait: 1. My own 2. chow with hot sauce

    pick up: 1.fresh bread 2. pieces of corn puffs, that were treated with some fresh hemp oil 3.different flavored sweet corn

    Results:

    -On the Helicopter rig, nothing all day!

    -Pay lake Rig: Constant nibbles on the line, that indicated that small fish was munching on the pick up, but nothing strong enough, for me to set the hook.

    -Feeder rig: 8 fish, all white suckers, but not a single carp bite at all.

    Pick Up: Bread by far the best, then corn Puff. Sweetcorn, and pop up was useless today. If I have used red wigglers, then I would of just hammered those suckers today.

    Bait: I never understand fish meal, and those who swear by that in wild American waters, in a short session without pre feeding. I believe, that it's effectiveness is significant in Pay lakes, just as all over Europe, but in wild water I think there are better baits out there all year around for carp.

    I will experiment with it some more sometimes this year, as I think, that fish meal based baits, such as trout pellets(chow) might be one of the best bait for carp, at certain times of the year, but only when when pre fed 1-2 -3 days with it.

    I have caught many carps on January 1. at the same spot under similar conditions, in the past few years, but almost every time, when I did catch them, I was using bread or worm as pick up, and liquidized bread with cornmeal as bait.
