  1. Went out to sterling state park today for my first session of the year. Was a little worried with the water just unfreezing and it still being rather cold this morning that I might not catch anything, but me and my buddy got there around 8 and got 3 poles in the water. This was my first time trying out R&W carp juice and come flavored dip/glug after about 20 mins the bait alarm went off and I got a nice 11 pounder only fish we got today. I was approached by a DNR officer told him I was fishing for carp he asked if I was part of that "carp group". I'm glad I got to land one so early in the year.

  2. Thanks Austin! I was just by pt mouille today and and yes the water levels were extremely low today! Lowest I've seen them. ill give Erie a few more weeks for sure just gotta fish it before the weeds move in. Maybe I'll head to saline this weekend and see how it goes, I'll keep everyone informed. Thanks

  3. Like everyone I have the itch to get out and fish for some carp. i normally fish sterling state but it's still frozen as of Saturday. The mouth of the Huron and near pt mouille is unfrozen. I was thinking about heading out Saturday to pt moiuille. But I'm not sure if it's to early to even bother.

  4. Yeah it was pretty windy there today was ripping for awhile, and was pretty chilly but the sun came out for awhile. I like the cold it keep most other anglers away lol.

  5. I got to sterling state around 930 this morning, a bit later than I had planned but it was pretty windy around 7 so I decided to wait and my girlfriend was coming along,

    Brian was already there and fishing when I pulled in and said he already had some action, after I got my poles in the water it took about an hour before I had any action, the first fish was a nice buffalo 14 pounds is a new PB for me since I never weighed a fish until today, Brian was nice enough to weigh him for me. I had another small common put up a pretty good fight.

  6. Thanks guys! Yeah Austin the biggest one I caught was very thick and I didn't even know he was on the line, the line was pulling to the left but it never pulled hard enough for my alarms to beep. I thought maybe a turtle had grabbed the line.

  7. It all started a few months ago when I came across a video of Austin catching some carp at pointe mouille. After doing some research and buying and some pre tied hooks and a sbomb, I hit banks with many failed attempts. After talking with Austin at sterling state park I found these forums and have learned a ton, It still took several weeks to land my first carp after some hook pulls and the carp getting off within feet of shore. Today was my lucky day! I'm definetly addicted!

    Thanks Austin for all the help, and Brian for all the tips, and Bill for selling me some awesome poles. The bait runners made a huge difference. no way I could've caught anything without their help.

    Not sure on the wait but I'd say atleast 10 pounds

  8. Yes I did get it to stick together, I didn't get a full batch made I still need to go shopping, but it's a way better method than using a sbomb! And I need to work on my casting I seen how far you throw yours lol. I think I'll be able to make it down there Monday.

  9. Me and my girlfriend went to ford lake today around 530 to see if we could get some carp. Austin has been giving me lots of help so I wanted to try what I've learned, Seen some fish surfacing when we got there, a few jumping. Made my packbait and used some flavored Maize from k-1, had a few good laughs on the first few casts when my lead went one way and the bait flew off in another. had some fish surfacing around where I casted but no luck,

  10. I'm new to carp fishing, I got interested in it when I came across some videos of two brothers fishing at pointe mouille catching huge carp, I beleive i meet one of them yesterday at sterling state park, he was asking me about the sbomb i was using. And told me about this site. Hope to learn a lot from this site.
