I had some Delk's for about a season... thy are nice. Got some Fox Warriors for a quarter of the price... and they are nice too.
I now own 5 Fox Warriors (a few for friends and family when they come fish with me) and have no regrets. If you get the Fox Warriors, buy the hard case.

Hot... try 112* in the shade...
but we're still catching them close (within 15' of the bank) and far (75 yards out).It really depends on the venue more than anything else.

Don't think I can convince anyone to ship one of the whips to me in AZ?
-
WOW...
I just love to hear alarms SCREAM like that!
Good job!
-
well I fixed that problem... I just caught a bigger fish... LOL
-
Awesome!

Just noticed something...
I am seeing my heaviest fish as being a 15lb 14oz fish I caught. When I have entered a 16lb 03oz fish. Both fish show in my results but the 15lb 14 oz fish is being displayed as my biggest fish.
Just thought I would let you know there seems to be something buggy happening.

Decided to do a little more fishing today. So I waited till the sun started to set and made my way out to Water Ranch Park Lake. I arrived at about 7pm, as the sun started to set and setup my pod and 2 poles. I was fishing the Oat Pack from this morning and the same plain Puff.
Within 15 minutes I had a strange take and landed this chunky little guy...
After that in about another 30 minutes I landed this nice 'stunted' Grass Carp...
After that I started catching Catfish until I called it a night. It was a nice warm Arizona Evening and a great night to be out fishing.

I was looking around on the net and came across a Wikipedia entry for a "List of the world's 100 worst invasive species. When I looked down int he fish section; of course the Common Carp was listed. but there were several other fish on the list that I found interesting to be labeled "... Worst Invasive Species..."
-
Common carp
-
Rainbow trout
-
Largemouth bass
-
Brown trout
Kind of funny when you think that the other 3 sought after fish are on the "... Worst Invasive Species..." list.

Common carp

Out again this morning...
715am - 820am
Kiwanis Canals
Strawberry Oat Packbait
Plain Corn Puff
Managed to land 1 Grass Carp (had a couple of other runs that came undone), that definitely had some back issues...
OUCH!

Well made it out again this morning. Didn't have the camera with me, so sorry no pictures.
This morning was just some practice making / using / and re-hydrating Oat packbait. I made a Strawberry / Cream Corn / Oat packbait:
- 42oz Old Fashioned Oats
1 can Creme Corn
1 package Strawberry Jello
Mixed it up in a 3qt Igloo Ice Chest and let it sit for 30 minutes. After the pack had a chance to set I tested how fast it breaks and came up with; with 12 packs (squeezes) it takes 3 minutes for the ball of pack to start breaking up. For the canals, since I am not casting that far, I only packed it 5 times.
Baited a plain Corn Puff on my hook. Packed the Oats on and pitched it out. I almost immediately started getting action.
So from 6am - 745am I landened:
- 4 Grass Carp
1 Channel Catfish
Not a bad morning.
- 42oz Old Fashioned Oats
-
Well... I am back from a week off, with no fishing.
So I managed to get out to my usual spot on the canals this morning and only managed 1 in the hour I was there.
Maybe tomorrow will be better... either way, it was a beautiful morning.
-
Really nice but you have two typos
Specis is spelled species and mith is myth
Otherwise a great message!
-
Its a carp with a disease I usually only see in goldfish called DROPSY. It's a type of edema and is usually fatal.
Usually a sign of bad water conditions.
-
I think I will have to call in sick in a couple of weeks... cough... cough
-
Nice!
Will definitely let you know when I have sometime...
-
So I am out at the canals once again at 530 AM, trying to beat the heat.
I modified my PayLake rig a bit; lengthened the leader from 4" to 6" and used a 1 oz weight instead of the 0.5 oz I have been using.
I was using a Peach Oat Packbait and a plain Corn Puff and for the first hour, I didn't even get a single blip on the alarms.
I changed my rig back to the traditional PayLake rig I used before; 4" leader and 0.5 oz weight and managed to hook up twice in 30 minutes.
This just proves... If it aint broke...
Here are the fish...
Skinny Grasser
Chunky Grasser

I'm in... and this will be lots of fun!!!

Well… I was out again this trying to get some fishing in before the storm hit this morning. This time I was using a Pineapple flavored Oat Pack with a plain Corn Puff.
I managed 2 fish in the 1.5 hours I was out; One Grass Carp, about 8 lbs (it flopped back in before I could get a picture) and one Channel Catfish at about 3 lbs (fat little guy).
Packed it up as the weather started to turn and got out of there with the rain at my back.
-
Very nice!!!
-
Made it out this morning again. This time I was using an Orange and Cream Pack with a plain Corn Puff. I managed 2 fish; one 10 lb Grass Carp and one 8 lb Common.
All in all a good start to a good morning.
-
Thanks...
I have found the information you have put up on the forums, regarding PayLake tactics, really helpful. The weather is really starting to heat up out here now, 104 today and will be like this till October. So I guess it is time to start working with Oats instead of Grits; is that right?
I need to find the post you did with the different PackBait recipes and the times of year you advise them for. I am a Neophyte but have started down the path of Ultimate Puff Enlightenment...

This was my second trip out to the canals since I moved to AZ in November and I am glad I made it out for the couple of hours I was able to.
I have just switched from my Euro rigging to a 'PayLake' rig with Grits and Puffed corn and I don't think I will be going back to the Euro style rig anytime soon. I still need to dial this method in, for the canals, but still manged 1 nice 10lb Grass Carp.
If there is anyone out there that would like to meet up in the early mornings (5am - 8am) during the week, drop me a line.
-
So there are no carp in Kiwanis?
I'll meet you out at the canal in the morning. See yah there.
