The hot streak continues

Wow. I have had some great carp fishing the past few years, sometimes I write about it, sometimes I don't. I have my share of bad days too, sometimes I write about those, sometimes I don't. My last two outings have been nothing short of spectacular. Insane fishing. Not only have I been able to find the fish, but they have been active...tailing aggressively, working the shallows and pockets and making obvious moves to the fly. It is this last part that is remarkable on my water. They don't often make it easy, but today the carp were very cooperative.

Today was similar to last week...big numbers and plenty of size. I landed 4 fish over 20 lbs, the largest being a 22 lb slab that ate a hybrid in skinny, skinny water. I will be seeing that take in my head for weeks. I found carp in mud, sand, cobble, gravel...it just didn't seem to matter. The fish were in, and they were hungry.

The best part...it still isn't May. This is the just Preseason!

Sometimes it comes together

When things are right on the big C, things are REALLY right.

The sun came out, the fish came out, and shit got crazy in a hurry.  Yesterday, I caught more carp than I have ever caught in a single day on the Big C...and that isn't a small number.  Insane fishing.

Some days you just end up smiling.
