[Carp action heating up in MN rivers]

Hey Syed, we met last week in Anoka. There is a carpfest in Long Lake in Orono, next to Minnetonka. It's hosted by Lions Club and goes from 8 am-12 pm. Send an email if you want to meet up there. Weltravelled@yahoo.com

[Carp action heating up in MN rivers]

First post here :-). I'm from the Minneapolis area and love fishing for carp. Catch and release of course.

Fished one of my spots on the Mississippi river last night. Hooked 7, landed 5 in 2 hours. Didn't weigh them but I would think they were all between 8-22 lbs. When your landing net breaks, you know the carp has some serious torque behind it :-)

Always up for hearing about carp tournaments, fishing meetups in the area. Am fishing a small carp contest weekend in a lake-not happy that all fish caught will be disposed off, but I guess they have their reasons for controlling population in a lake.

Cheeers...
