  1. Went out to fish a small lake with Zirjacks and AJ , first time night fishing in KS. A very pleasant evening multiple carp and catfish caught.

     

    Had a difficult time with the police when asked what I was doing at the lake at 3am, I guess the local rangers forgot to tell the police!!!   All ended well.

  2. I am on a long term contract in Kansas City and have had my gear in town a couple of months now, popped out this morning and the day started as usual Cattie after Cattie, then just reeled a Cattie in on one rod and the other alarm started to go , usual panic unhook one, get net ready, play other rod. Nice surprise a big Grassie.

  3. After walking a small lake near my home, i noticed the bubbles were prolific near the weeds about 3 feet from the bank, after a quick depth check ( it was about 5 feet) i set up the float and started to stalk in the weeds.

    hooked into a small catfish, followed by a Tench................Then the float disappeared and i was into a big fish.......it ripped out line to the middle of the lake........after about 30mins i managed to get it in the net......great looking fish didn't weigh it but had to be around the 30's.

    Float fishing is great for margin targeted fishing.

  4. Thanks to Cubzzz for helping me to find some local waters, one of our waters has a legend of a fish called Bob, the legend says its big 40lbish. I have fished this water three times and Bob has yet to show up, one local told me he looks at you from the depths and laughs.......

    I did enjoy catching many Tench ( over 20 in one sitting) and a 28lb common.

    If your reading this Bob, i am comin to get yer.

    Once again thanks to everyone for helping me in the area especially Cubzzz.

  5. To the Editor: —I have a pond on my farm and I would like to put some German carp in it. Where can I get some ?—C. W., Santa Cruz. This fish has proved a great disappointment in California. Most of those who have introduced it to their ponds and streams have deeply regretted it. This fish is so poor that, unless one can command the service of a French chef in the preparation of it, its use as food has been practically abandoned. People along the sloughs of the great interior rivers declare that it is one of the worst things that has ever been


    introduced, and has displaced to a certain extent better fish. It is much better to stock a pond with trout. If, however, you desire carp, perhaps you can get them from Mr. Poppe of Sonoma, who was one of the original introducers and may still have the stock available. We would like to hear from any reader who has found carp desirable.

  6. maybe too late , i took a kayak to Tahoe almost every week for a year, i don't believe there are any Carp in the lake. The water is extremely cold all year round and there is limited food. There are Trout and Char. The truckee river has many different fish, didn't see any Carp, there are many lakes around Reno that have lots of carp they are shallow and get warm in the summer. PM me if you want specifics.

  7. Brian, Thanks appreciate it.

    carpskunker would lov to hear more about the tench lake and get out with you guys can't message you , my email pete98w@yahoo.com

    Zach, thanks will let you know if i get down your way looks like some great fishing in the area.

    Thanks again everyone for you welcome to the CA area.

  8. Last year i fished Memorial many times and typically took Carp in the 10lb to 20lb range . my personal best was 21LB until this morning. I baited up an area near the dam on Friday and Saturday and picked up a 24Lb fish after 1 hour of fishing this am. I wonder if there may be a 30 next spring?????

  9. There are many 50LB+ fish caught in the USA every year , this year alone i have seen pictures of at least 10 fish 50lbs+ the people who catch them (on rod and line) either choose not to post on CAG or are not CAG members, i have not been lucky enough to catch one yet but now i know where they are, i will make it a mission in 2012, question? will i post it or not? although hyperthetical at this time, i am not sure i would post. Many of the CAG and regional records on the East Coast would be broken if these fish were posted to CAG or reported.
