[first snakeheads of the year]

the dec here in NY whats them all dead, they go to little ponds if they hear about one and shock the pond to try to get it out.

but hey id fish for them to if i new a spot.

[More newb questions]

if i no there are fish in the area, i bait little or just use method, but you may wanna throw some bait in when u leave, it will hold the fish in the area.

[Last nights session, and todays session.]

awesome job man...its great to catch at a new swim.

[i cant even go catch some smallmouth]

so i went out to catch a few smalmouth, there where carp moving through this one spot, sooo for haha's i tossed a roostertail to one, pulled it about two feet in front of him and it looked like he went up for it, maybe not, hmmmm...another cast, closer to him this time, he went for it hard, 3rd cast, he went for it again, water was only about a foot deep so i let it hit the bottom and he sucked it up, this is the second carp i have caught on a roostertail. caught him on a 6'6 meduim action with 6 pound test, so much fun...i also forgot how much fun hand landing carp is.

[I never grow weary...........]

great story, looks like it was a great day to be out fishing.

[A great to celebrate my 2nd year of carping!]

DeanO, i forget to turn my alarms on ALOT, but its better then forgeting to turn on your baitrunners...

[midnight]

so when your alarm screams off at midnight and you got no shoes, and a headlamp that was inches for going in to the lake, sometimes things turn out better than you think.

[does this count as to 20's in a session ??]

did she come in real easy the second time? Doug and I had that happen in Bville a couple of times and they just came right in the second time.

the first time she fought amazing, second time id say 70% of the first, but all this fish in this river fight amazing, i had around 10 fish that night, the next day i had a sore shoulder, and a bruise on the inside of my arm from the rod, worth it all..

[does this count as to 20's in a session ??]

so if i recapture the same fish in an hour does it count as two 20's?? she was 20 even the first go, the second go she was 20.2 , geuss she sucked up some more bait in that hour. first picture was the first time, second picture was the second time around, you can see a scar on the second picture, how we new it was the same fish.

[First fish from my road trip]

wtg man, congrats, no jokin when u said it had a huge head on it.

[Maximus Relaximus]

is that PB for max ??

[koi on the float !!]

yeah float fishing or free lining is the key here, the sweetcorn dident stink at all, its very brushy around the whole pond and not much room to fish so a 8 1/2 foot rod and a small pack does well, not a pond for the 12 footers, pods and rucksack.

[koi on the float !!]

i got to a new pond i have only fished twice before, the first time i learned that it has one nasty bottom, all my baits where smelling of muck, the second time was for about an hour. so today i got there , put the float out with some sweetcorn, tossed some out, and this koi liked that idea. my first koi, weighted a wopping 5.2, i really could care less about the weight though i was super happy with it just being a koi. i also caught 4 carp 5 - 10 pounds.

[Spawn bound Beast tips the scales at 42+ !!!!!]
