Being in a bit of a funk.... maybe due to low water temps or bad luck this season.. my cousin has convinced me to try carp fishin this spring
I was a little aprehensive at first, never fishin for those large beasts, thought it was a sport better left to the englishmen that come from the uk to fish those overgrown goldfish. Well I didnt want to invest too much money in to carp fishin rite away so i used my 9' dipsey rod with okuma linecounter spooled up with 17lb mono, i just had to buy a bank stik, bite alarm, a bolt rig n some boilies.We drove around the long sault parkway looking for a spot that looked a bit Carpy and settled on a bridge on the west end..... well lets just say we both had our lines in the water from 2pm till 4:30 pm.... we never had nothing to show.... then my cousin says... " Billy I think we are going to get skunked here today"..... no sooner than the words came out of his mouth my bite alarm was screaming hahahahahah!!!! I looked at my line counter and fish had ripped 300 feet of line out before i got my rod in my hands!!! I thought i had a baby dolphin on my line!! any how after a 15 fight we got the buggar in... I was so would up we never weighed him but it was prob 25-30lb the pic doesnt do it justice. ANYHOW..... I will keep fishing for the old marble eyes... BUT.. after that day Carp fishing with my cousin I am definitly getting some carp gear for fathers day I think!!
