Very nice!

Had a great time as always. Thanks to everyone that attended this time around. Look forward to seeing everyone at Rayland!
-
Awesome Shawn! I will definitely be there.

Good stuff guys. Might be worth checking it out in the Spring as you had mentioned.
Is it possible to bivvy up there?

Do these Amur's feed on the same baits are other carp?
I believe mine was caught on field corn topped off with a piece of foam soaked in anise. I'm not sure what the 46 and 58 were caught on. I would imagine field corn or boiles. I believe he was chumming with field corn.
So short answer is yes.

Had a great weekend of fishing. Every time I had a run, there was a thought in the back of my head that it could be one of those big Amur's. I ended up with a few commons, couple catfish and my first Amur which I believe was around 16 pounds. It also had the "broken spine syndrome."
Thanks to everyone who brought food for the cookout and a big thank you to Karrie for cooking it all for us.
I'm sure I will be back up there in the future.

Had a great time and enjoyed the company of all those who attended. As promised, Cowan Lake fishing can be a bit slow but more than makes up for it with the possibility of catching a large Common or even a Mirror. I got lucky this time around and pulled in a very nice fish.
As Craig mentioned, I fished the campground on Sunday morning and ended up with 4 fish in about 3 hours with the biggest being a high teener. I had to contend with a lot of boat traffic due to it's location on a "corner" near the ramp. Kelly also managed her first Carp ever which gave a nice fight. She will likely have the "newbie bruise" on her thigh from playing the fish

Let's switch this up a bit. Here is my entry.
Caught at the SagNASTY over the weekend. The river lives up to its name.

Hard to go up against Dale Hollow Carp, Mirrors, and Koi but here is my first 20+ of the year.
First time fishing a new location on a local river paid off with this 22lb 1oz chunk.
-
So, same as last year.
And for some lucky team(s) the draw and the awards will be at their swim!
-
Very interesting. I wonder if it's a location thing? I ordered a bag last Monday and it arrived Wednesday. Blue bag of Kikkoman Japanese Untoasted Bread Crumbs for ~$24.

Good to hear Bob. Hopefully the fish move into the harbor when we are there!
-
Looking forward to it Bob. Hopefully I will be able to dust off the rods before then and get into some fish. See everyone there!

Semi fixed / fixed is probably fine. The way you fish it may change... See below
I was informed by an experienced carp angler on how to fish rivers with very fast currents. I have never tried it myself, but this year I will give it a shot. This may be known by others but it's a new concept to me so if I butcher the methodology, feel free to correct me.
- First thing is pretty standard, 2oz-3oz lead. It doesn't need to be super heavy even though the current is quite swift.
- It is also pretty standard to keep the rod tip high.
- This is where it changes a bit. When you cast and the lead hits the bottom, allow line to be pulled off the reel so it creates a big sweeping curve down the river. At this point the fishing line will be flowing with the current, but it does not create enough drag to pull the lead.
- The rod tip will have a bend in it when sitting on the pod. You will know when you have a fish because the rod will now straighten out because the fish has negated the tension on the line when it picks up the lead.
- Reel in the slack and fish on!
Hope this makes sense.
-
I'll be there Bob! Thanks for setting it up and I'll be sure to throw some money your way for the reservation.
-
I hope to attend all Ohio events this year. Bring on the warm weather! Thanks for putting this together Bob.
-
Not sure about the Sunday fishing in Sandusky. Depending on how the weather goes, I typically just want to get home and get warm/dry.
I've only fished the O'shaughnessy once with little luck, but I'd be up for trying again.

That sounds like the start of a joke. Two Michiganders walk into a bar......
...The Ohioans ducked.

Way to go Craig!

All signed up and ready to go.

I have 3 Fox Warrior S 13' 3.5tc and haven't had any issues. Typically cast 2oz leads with packbait and haven't had one snap. *knocks on wood*
