Franklin strikes again! Why don't he let you catch any fish!

I fished there when I was with the 101'st Airborne at Ft. Campbell from 58 to 61 & you are right, there are some monsters there. At that time I didn't have any interest in the carp but saw some monsters along the shore line. Also, Kentucky Lake, which I think now is called Barclay Lake is probably holding world record carp. I saw some there that I can't even imagine landing!

Nice going! Looks like a comfy set up. I'm not fond of the hot sun either.
-
Nice going! Now I have a new use for my coffee grounds!
-
Congrats on a trophy! Looks a bit windy behind you.

-

Good luck. Bite seems to be better in the afternoon.

Got set up at 7.30 yesterday morning & temps were right at the freezing mark. The wind was blowing pretty good & I saw no surface action & got no hits. At 1.15 I saw a carp jump & 5 minutes later I had a screamer. The rest of the day was good & I landed a total of 7 fish. The wind also calmed down & I think that helped the bite. Had a pair of Osprey feeding at the lake all day & also a pair of bald eagles. The Osprey would dive bomb the eagles at times defending their feeding grounds. The eagles never gave me a good oportunity for a pic but I got a pic of one of the Osprey picking up what looked to be a trout of decent size. Heaviest carp was 17 lbs. Some pics.

Was set up at 7 AM yesterday & didn't get hit 'till 11 AM & that was only a 5 pounder. After that nothing 'till I grabbed a sandwitch at 3. Always happens when I go to eat! Action was decent the rest of the day 'till I quit at 7.30. I ended up with 9 on the bank & the biggest was 31 in & 16 lbs. The next biggest was 8 lbs & all the rest were 5 or 6 pounders. Great weather for march in NE Pa. & I enjoyed the day.

Excelent catch! You guys crack me up! I enjoy your competition & stories!

Good catch! Looks like some fine weather.

VERY VERY VERY NICE!!!!!

Fished yesterday from 7 AM 'till 6 PM. No surface action "till after 1 & not much then. Didn't get the first fish until after 2 & then we caught two more. fish were small & the biggest on was 7 lb 13 oz. Very comfortable day for this time of the year with very little wind.
some pics.

Interesting style, not usual to see baitcasters on the European style rods. Although the long cast contests use a type of baitcaster:
...and I suppose there is no issue with line twist.
Interesting video! Thanks for posting that. I use mono line & line twist is non-existant with the baitcasters. I had to change my line very often with the spinning gear & now I get a lot more life out of my lines. I am not a fan of braided line.
I can get my rig out as far as anybody that is using spinning gear.
-
Nice set up and cool locale! What kind of reels are those?
The pics are great. You might consider entering some into the this month's contest.
One is a Shimano Calcutta CTE 400 & the other one is an ABU RCN 60. I started using baitcasters a few years ago & prefer them over spinning gear for heavy fish.

Looks like spring has sprung & you're right on the money! NICE!
-
Very nice pics & awesome fishes! Glad your whining got you to shining the second day.
-
Nice?
What pod is that? I'm looking for a new one...
It's a Matrix Patriot that I bought used from one of the members here. It only had a two rod buzz bar when I bought it but I upgraded to a four bar.

Got my lines in yesterday at 7:30 & they sat idle 'till 11:30. I was a little bored so I was down the shore line a ways & picked up a small painted turtle to look at it when I heard the delks start singin. When I got back to my rods both of them were going. Chinese fire drill! I grabbed the first rod & it had the biggest carp on & the other line kept going out sporadically. I landed the first one & then got the other one which was small. Around 11 o'clock I figured it was going to be another skunkin & though the water might have been too cold yet. I was really surprised to hear the Delks. The rest of the day was good & I landed 11 fish with the biggest being 20.5 lbs. Over where the crick comes in the carp started jumpin constantly about the same time I got action. It started raining a little after 3 so I quit.
There was an immature eagle that came in with something in its talons & proceed to eat it on some rocks down the shore from me. Huge bird & at first I thought it might have been a Golden. I had a good day!
-
Very Nice! Glad the gold was with ya!
I fished for the first time this year from 9 AM 'till dark & got skunked. The temp here was 22 degrees in the morning & one of the coves at the lake still had some ice on it that melted before the end of the day. I guess the water here is still to cold yet.

Good set of pics & adventure story. That traffic is surely an adventure to deal with. I glad we don't have to deal with that up here. Most places I go to fish there is only one or two traffic lights to deal with in some very small towns. Even smaller than ATLANTA!
-
Very good way to spend the day! Awesome fish! Martin Luther King would be proud!
-
It's 6 degrees here this morning! You're making me very jealous!
Wish ya good luck anyhow!!!
Good Afternoon

I hit the river here yesterday morning at 6 AM & when I got one of my lines in I quickly noticed the line moving slowly when it shouldn't have. There is very little current there & with a 3 oz weight The line should have stayed put. I picked up the line & found snot weed had built up on it about the size of a basket ball. I had a hard time just getting it back in. JiggerJim was suppose to fish with me so I called him & told him we better hit one of the lakes. I got set up on the lake A 7 & Jim showed up at 8. There were carp surfacing all over the area. But they were not interested in our offering. Not until 1 PM did I get a hit. The temp was up in the 80's & after the first hit the rest of the day was good. Jim was sick with a heavy chest cold & didn't get a hit & I don't think he wanted any. I think I ended up with 14 fish on the bank that were between 12 & 17 lbs. The last one of the day surprised me because he weighed in @ 26 lbs & is the biggest on I have ever caught from that lake. He ended up getting into my other line & when I finally landed him I had a tangle mess to straighten out & it was 7 PM so I decided I had enough fun for one day. Some pics.
