Austin Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've been pretty inactive on the forum this past winter as I usually am every winter, but I thought I'd share some picture from my last session out. I've never fished for carp in February here in Michigan but since it was around 40 degrees this past Sunday I decided to get out and try to catch a carp or two. When I showed up to the spot I wasn't to confident I'd catch because of the huge ice piles that had built up from the wind blowing in ice chunks off the main lake, but Kyle and I decided to fish anyway. We had to set up our rods on top of all the ice because the shoreline was non existent anymore. Any way I did end up catching 5 fish up to 21lbs which I was extremely happy to just be catching some fish as spring is still some time away up here. So here are the pictures, I though the ice and stuff made for some cool photos! The rods on top of all the ice! First fish! Biggest if the session at 21lb 8oz! Kyle on top of all the ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(TN) Cannonball Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 40s?? Heat wave for up north. I'm surprised you didn't swim along with the fish. I was born an raised in Ohio. I remember a Saturday in Feb. when the temp hit 55. Skipped Roy, Gene and the Lone Ranger and played outside for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
