FivePoundBluegill Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I went fishing for the first time yesterday since september of 2009. It seems that I forgot how fun fishing can be. Anyway the day started by me finding a bedding bass and spending an hour trying to get the fish to bite. This fish would not commit to anything. I got him to pick up my robo worm twice and my bass assasin fluke once but they were not commited bites. I then decided to try something I have never tried before for a bedding bass and tied on a rattle trap. I would cast out the rattle trap and drop the bait onto the bed. On about the 5th cast he hit the rattle trap. I landed this fish with ONE of the barbs on the rattle trap in the fishes mouth. Here is the bass About 15 minutes later I found another spawning bass which I got to pick up a wacky rig senko. Unfortunately the second this fish picked up my bait he swam under a big pipe so I was unable to set the hook. I had to let him drop the bait or I would have broken him off. I wish I had set that hook right away and not given that fish a chance to swim under the pipe. Later in the day I switched over to carp fishing with white bread. I caught 3 average sized carp. I would have caught 4 if Bladeslinger did not dicide to flaunt my 5 fish day by showing off his hand made featherweight rod . I lost the 4th carp I hooked into due to a bad hook set and the fish came unbuttoned. Here is a pic of one of the carp. Quote

IwillChooseFreeWill Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 looks like fun... I have never caught a carp, how do they fight and anything out of the ordinary to watch out for? Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 looks like fun... I have never caught a carp, how do they fight and anything out of the ordinary to watch out for? I fish for them a lot. Its pretty much the same style of fishing as catfish fishing. Just look for feeding carp and then toss out bread or corn about 10-15 feet out. Use spinning gear and leave open your bail. When you get a run hook set as if it were a catfish and fight the fish the same way. Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 I couldent get enough so I went out fishing again tonight to a small pond that is under renovation( they drained a lot of the water to take out a lot of overgrown vegetation). I was able to catch one decent size Bass that measured 16.5 inches on a 6 inch purple inch finess worm about 5 feet from shore in very murky water I think I am addicted to fishing again for the time being... and on a positive not I found my measuring tape Quote
Red Bear Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 looks like fun... I have never caught a carp, how do they fight and anything out of the ordinary to watch out for? i caught a decent sized carp last summer, had to have been around 10 lbs give or take. when i set the hook in it, it felt like setting the hook in stone or something. seriously, my hook set stopped like midswing of it and my reel made a funny sound like it had broke(it didnt), guess it was just the drag. it was a fun fish to catch though btw, nice fish FPBG Quote
zerofivenismo Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Nice bass and carp. I can't wait to go fishing. Quote
