    Where Eagles Dare

    Persistence pays off with a nice double digit fish. Losing terminal tackle is the bane of just about any style of fishing. Yes, it can get expensive with heavy leads, etc. Too bad we can't think of a way to make it tax deductible. Or can we?

    Brief History Of Carp In The Usa

    This is a virtual goldmine! I plan on using this in the discussion with a fellow on a bowhunting website. Cut an paste seems to be the answer. This guy might be busy for a while to read all this information. His last post has him dismissing documented history of carp in the USA.

    Thanks for the interesting thread. I think that we all share the sentiments expressed as we all, more than likely, have someone who has led us to this point in carp fishing. Willem invited me to Kingston, TN in October, 2014 and was gracious enough to share his knowledge, answer questions and allow me to hook, play and release my first three "official" carp. It's been two bunches of fun ever since. I have met a lot of outstanding people from all walks of life, careers, etc.,  with the common interest in carp fishing.

    Where is catch-and-release not allowed?

    Canadian geese? Just watch where you step! Watch where you sit on the bank. Tell the lifeguard that you could b a arrested for cruelty to animals. Hmmm. Throwing carp on the bank to die is like throwing kittens in the lake to control the cat population. Is there a difference?

    Success!

    You are waaay ahead of me! Going tomorrow so I might beat you. ? What are you using for bait, if it's not a secret? Keep us posted of future captures.

    May I suggest you get some sort of mat to keep the fish off the ground? Yoga mats can be cheap (like me) and found at the big box stores as Wally World or the exercise area of sporting goods stores. I go through the exercise area to keep in shape. Round is a shape!

    Another question, what’s on your hair rig, fake corn, real corn, boilie? Or some combination?

    Canned sweet corn, flavored and unflavored. Doing an experiment with unflavored corn on the hook and a bare-bones approach to tackle.

    Carp are fickle as I have found they will change their minds without notice. I don't stick to one flavor on that basis. I have some flavors from a paylake store in SC. They are concentrated so a few drops will do the job. Mostly, I use flavors from the grocery- vanilla, anise, peppermint, to name a couple. Not much luck with maple or orange. You don't need a lot of flavor; a few drops will be OK. I have caught carp on sweet corn soaked in white vinegar! Don't add a lot of water to the oatmeal when it begins to dry. Just add a few drops at a time. Good fishing!

    My only catch in five hours, besides gnats harassing my ears and eyeballs

    At least something was biting a lot. Rather it be a carp, though. One is more than zero!
