How heavily fished is the area? That's has the potential to change the answers you get dramaticlly.
-
Beautiful fish...the skinny one looks like the same one you caught a week or so ago too!
-
As most people have said, panko is a good start. I wouldn't worry too much about boilies at this point in your "carping career." Use sweet corn on the hair and I think you'll have some luck. When the water warms up and we get together, I'll share as much knowledge as I have to help you along.
Thanks bud It really means a lot to have guys step in and share their knowledge, I'll be using pankos pack with a cornpuff or some corn this weekend (y)
-
At least your unhooking mat has a double purpose now congrats though, on both accounts!
-
No selfie with the mat!? I'm disappointed! lol jk...
Beautiful fish...and comfy lookin chairs too lol -
sweetcorn if no nuisance fish are present, can't go wrong
Hell there's lots of panfish around and they love the corn, I could care less what I catch just wanna get the lines wet! lol
-
Thinking about heading out to the lake for a bit Sunday, water temps are about 35-40 degrees and I was wondering what would be the best bait to use in the colder waters?
-
Beautiful story...it's similar to the first fish I caught as well...lived across from Muskingum river as wee lad and walked over one day, put my tiny rod in the water with a plastic worm and pulled out what I believe now to be a 5-8lb common, shame I didn't release it...put it in a bucket and tried to keep it as a pet lol
-
Most every Kroger's grocery store has it...in the "Red Mills" natural grains and flour section. Also go to any Gordon's Food Supply (GFS) or Baking supply store.
I've tried Krogers O.O is it under a different name ?
-
Depends what your base mix is made out of. Usually if you simply add some semolina it will absorb and stiffen up the mix to where it won't be sticky anymore. As far as rods and reels what is your price range you are looking at? It will be a lot easier to help out since they vary.
Probably around $500 or so, where in the heck do you find semolina? I've looked all over the state of Ohio and haven't found a place yet, even went up to Mesopotomia lol
-
If your mix is too sticky then add some more base mix (dry), adding more oils will make it even stickier
I always thought I was using too much base mix...I'll have to experiment a bit next time I knock up a batch...thanks carphammer!
-
Dang Bob! You're making me feel bad for not being able to get out!
By the time I get around to the banks the fish will already be filled to the brim with your baits haha -
Could anyone recommend a decent rod/reel for me? I've been using a combo I picked up at a sporting store forever ago and it's starting to see the end of days coming up on it...
Also another question : When trying to use my boilie gun/table, it seems the mix is too sticky, would that just be solved by adding a bit of extra oils to the mix? -
Thanks...no not at Buckeye Lake, still waiting for the lake to fill in a bit more after winter drawdown. Dillon drawdown schedule only shows they were going to lower it the traditional 3'...sounds like they may have done more. The schedule shows they will be letting it fill back up 1 Apr.
Yeah it is way down past 3 feet, not sure of how familar you are with the area but it's showing bottom all the way up towards the docks.
-
Was this at Buckeye Lake? I wondered my way over to Dillon earlier today and found it VERY low...can't remember seeing it this low in a long time lol
Beautiful fish Bob...lookin forward to seeing more this season! -
A bit late on this, but I ordered a small boilie table/gun from them around November of last year, everything went smoothly and was immediately notified when they processed and shipped the order.
Shipping was quick, and I was surprised when I got a few copies of CAG magazine...this was way back when I was still a new carper (still am, but not as much now...) and it really lit the fire!Thanks guys!
-
With any luck I'll be able to make it out in August and November!
Have heard good things about the Miami River near Dayton if the lake doesn't pan out for ya. -
Indeed you do Vinsanity! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, looking forward to learning from you all!
-
Not sure if you have a boat possum, but I've been eying this spot at Dillon for a while now, I'd be glad to share it with you.
-
HI there...sure will. I see you're from Zanesville, kind of makes us neighbors
Yep sure are, haven't been fishing @ Buckeye Lake in many years...kept hearing your name around carp groups so I decided to seek ya out
-
Hey Newbie!
Central Ohio angler here. I've only tried Dillon once before but didn't have any luck. The location I was fishing had trees and branches sticking out of the water so I didn't stay around long since I knew I would probably lose every fish I had.
The Muskingum is a great place to catch hard fighting river Carp. I would start there if you're looking to hook up on some fish.
I would be more than willing to meet you out there someday to show you the ropes and teach you some techniques. I'm sure Bob would be willing as well.
Good to have you aboard Newbie!
Pretty sure I've seen a few of your videos on Youtube, I knew your name looked familiar VShiflet?

Welcome to the forum!

-
Well done guys! Seen the photos posted on the Facebook page for K1 a few days ago and was taken aback by how flawless the fish were
