The common was on two tiger nuts over a bed of mixed particles. The mirror was on two boilies - Premier fishmeal, with Anchovy extact, SBS McSalmon oil and Monster Crab

This fish was in France about 10 years ago, and it was night and it was flash photography (water was too warm to sack the fish). I was definitely not as brown then as I am now,.

Actually Tony since what I added was a link to a public internet page and not a copy of the actual image the copyright is still in force.

I will however change the link to an http one. And ensure that it takes people to the page so they can view it themselves

Actually I did lose a very big fish after the event, it had nough length to be a fifty but who can tell until the fish is on the bank. I know where that big boy lives and will be having another try for him this year.

Scott, yes I saw the Gazebo swim , In fact I am considering fishing it this time around (after the event of course).

As for seeing only small carp spawning, I have a suspicion that the larger carp in Towne do not spawn very often if at all. The early pictures I saw of fish from Austin were late in the year captures that were obviously full of spawn, fish that are full of spawn that time of year probably have not spawned that year. The fish we were catching in March last year were also full of spawn. One of the reasons I bet David a six pack that no one would catch a 50lber last year was that I personally don't believe that the fish in there can reach that unless they are full of spawn. The 40's and big 30s that came out were all full of spawn, the other fish that got caught in the 20's were all male shape with no spawnbound bellies. Maybe one of those high 40's of either Richard or Al's will have a bit more spawn in this year and sneak over 50lb but I doubt it. In fact I have a wager with Brian that no 50's get caught in the ATC.

Would that be the little black ones with a white patch on the head? If so they are coots and notoriously quick learners about anglers baits (especially maize)

I guess you get the line tested before you use it so you know which record to claim.

Scott how big were those two you stalked in the bay. Jules and I looked at it but it just did not look like it would have any fish.

Phone - go to My controls and then board settings, from there you can change the number of viewable post up to 40 per page.

Phone change your setting so you can see more posts on the same page, that way the thread has to get very long before it goes to a second page.

Dean, I think fall would be much better prospect. Also as Brian say the Colorado river system would be a good place to start for the real biggies.
