I heard some whistling outside this Am & when I looked up in a dead white pine by my garage I saw a male woody sitting on a limb. He then flew back in some oak trees about 75 yds behind my garage & then I saw a female woody there but could not get a pic of her because she was moving around too much. They are starting to get horny!

Pat......I have the Nash Apache 3 Rod holder for about 3 yrs now. It gets a lot of use & is holding up well. You can fit 3 rigged rods in it & 3 more unrigged. The padding & zippers are excellent & you don't have to worry about rod damage. The pouches on the outside hold my bank sticks, my shade umbrella & my spare net & there is a lot more room for other items. Quality product.
I have the Nash Daddy Long Legs chair & am comfortable during my long sessions.
I use the Chub Rig pouch for my hair rigs. Holds a lot & in the back section there are plastic pouches for hooks, pop up corn, split shots, baiting needles etc.
For my pod I have a Matrix Patriot.
I use Delkim alarms with Delkim hangers.
Hope ya got some cash to spend LOL. Carpin can get expensive!
-
Nice start! I use the same sinker set up & the stopper prevents the sinker sliding up the line on the cast. If the fish gets hung up on anything & the line breaks, the sinker is able to come off the line & allowing the fish to be free from it.
-
Never used it.

Great fish-in with some fantastic catches. Looks like a nice place to do some carpin. Looks like you had the hot hand that day. Very nice job on the video too!

I bring my field corn to a rolling boil & then simmer it for three hrs then drain it & let it cool before putting it in gallon plastic begs & then into the freezer. The corn gets falling apart soft & starchy & I believe that it is the best chum possible. I take what I am going to use out of the freezer the night before, being care full not to confuse it with the chicken gravy like Cannonball did, LOL, because I too do not want boiled field corn for supper!
The corn will last indefinitely in the freezer & be there when you need it. I even believe freezing it enhances it further.
Also unused corn from your session can be re frozen with no ill affects.
-
Sweet corn should be fine. I personally think the key to winter carping is to find the carp. They will be in different areas of the water as temps change. Good luck.
-
Try using artificial corn pop-ups. That will solve a lot of your problems.

Nice going John! Getting our youth involved is a sure way to perpetuate our sport!

Fished a lake here yesterday with JiggerJim. A cold start with the temps in the lower 30's & the cold nights have affected the bite here. We only ended up banking 5 fish but the weather turned out great for a November day with temps in the afternoon around the 70 degree mark. We very much enjoyed the day & at least we didn't blank.
-
Incredible indeed! You are very lucky to have access to such awesome fish! Thanks for posting the pics.
-
AWESOME! That shows how it really happens! Great job on that one!
-
Very nice captures! That song & dance is working for you!

Talking yesterdays....yesterday was one of my best days of the fall with 20 fish landed in a three hour period. And, I had a bunch of decent ones like the mirror below. Rain and stormy weather was moving in and it had the carp charged up in the spot I was fishing.
Twenty fish landed with an awesome mirror, that's a super day! You do get some awesome mirrors!
-
Wow only 8 lol sounds like a good day to me I average 3 or so a outing with my most being 8 so I'd day if 8 is a slow day your In the right spot
That lake has tons of carp in it & the potential is good substantial catches.
-
I didn't get to go due to rain; supposed to rain through tomorrow.
Looking at the radar for your area, it looks like you are clearing out some. We have it here now & might last into tomorrow.

I fished Yesterday again with JiggerJim. Cold start. Temps were in the high 20's & I believe the dropping water temps made for a slow day. We again were fishing in about 10 ft of water & I got two fish around 9 AM & then all was quiet 'till around 3 PM. We ended up the day with only 8 fish on the bank but we were able to educate a few of the fishermen there about carp fishing & how much fun it can be.
-
Great pics from a great session! Good job getting that Northern Transplant on some carp! I have fished with him many times.
-
I'd say you had a very good birthday! Good story with the catch & congrats on the PB!
-
Great looking venue & it looks like the fish were really co-operating. Very nice pics also!
-
I went back to this years new discovery to fish the third spot that I had picked out to try. JiggerJim came down out of the hills to join me. I got set up about an hour before daylight but didn't get any hits 'till around 8 AM. The water towards the middle of the lake there is around 21 ft & nearer the shore it is around 10 ft. We fished to 10 ft area & had a decent day. We banked 18 fish & enjoyed not only the fishing but the fall colors on the hills there. Jim left around 4:30 but I stayed 'till 8 PM but did not get any action after dark.
Very nice sunset to close out the day.
