Almost time for some serious carp fishing water temp should be hitting 70 then the spawn and bite will be on

I fished the " backyard stream" today. No carp in sight. Plenty of rockies and smallmouth.....never saw a carp. Water was cold.

My fly fishin' buddy used a mulberry imitation for his carp and it worked!
-
Yup! They certainly do work.
Here's my mulberry flies.

Simply just get a box of shredded wheat crush it ad a little water you can add wheat flower to its cheap easy and carp and catfish love it
-
I was looking at a couple recipes online. Some add jello packets for flavor. I've messed around with making boilies but never had much luck with them.
Do you chum at all, or just toss out the dough balls?
Rg
-
Nothing needed here just the cereal
-
I've added half a cantaloupe melon and the whole box of wheat flakes in a gallon ziplock, smash it all together and let it sit outside for a day or so. Then throw it in the refrigerator and pull it out when it's time to bait up the treble. When it's cold, it makes nice balls that I glob on a treble, occasionally with a worm pre-threaded on the treble. Bullheads and cats also find it scrumptious, but so do the fallfish and rockies. I'm sure there are a billion recipes out there. Tight lines!

Hit the hudson today with my wife we lost a bunch and had a few cut off on something on bottom and got a bunch of cats to but did manage to land a few

greensider, very cool...
-
green this is a nice thread and I been enjoying reading about your success .......good job to you and your lady
-
A lot of fun being had right there!! We always used 1 cup of yellow corn meal, 1 cup of flour, and enough dark Karo syrup to bind it together. Throw the whole sticky ball in a Zip-Lok and you're ready to go. Roll it into appropriate size bait balls as you need it. Keeps well even unrefrigerated (don't leave it in a hot truck for days ::) ) and carp love it.
-
So, I made up some of the shredded wheat bait and went out Sunday morning. I chummed a bit with corn, peas and pieces of the wheat bait. Got two. Not huge but encouraging. They were porpoising all around me. Getting close to the spawn I'd say. With two rods out and fishing from the boat it was a Chinese fire drill trying to get the other rod out of the water.
Thinking of making some pack bait for chum from that mix. Maybe add some dried milk and corn meal. Some sweetener is probably a good idea too.
Love those carp!

We were covered up with jumping fish but got most bites when they seemed not to be jumping
-
I made some up gonna gonna give it a shot in the morning with the little guy and see what happens..
-
They're in full spawn around here right now. It'll give me a chance to get some carp stuff organized.
Might take a look at the creek tomorrow morning.

Neat article Mac! That thing is a beast! Imagine what the record would have been if they had actually recorded sizes of the fish when they were in the wild, and not a private pond!
-
That's a monster
-
I think that's more of a goldfish than a carp but a bigun either way
-
That's a big one!
Me plus 30 lbs.......give or take :-\

Went for my walk along the canal this morning. Low and behold.......mulberries are finally ripening.
I know where I'll be tomorrow morning....flyrod in hand👍

That's something here in hydepark they are almost gone

half boiled potatos work pretty good

Hard to toss a potato with a flyrod.
Got one this morning.

Not huge but still a handful. The net is 22" wide. Water was a bit murky so I soaked a few of the "Sparkle Berries" in blue raspberry juice. Used some of that squirt stuff you add to a drink for flavor. Way easier than koolaide.
Mulberries aren't even really dropping yet. I'll try again on Friday weather permitting.

I bet that was a hoot , well done
-
It was. Found out I'm a bit rusty with the big rod. Gonna have to give my double haul some work.
Rg

Way to go Bob. That's a good one.. :thumbup_smilie:
-
Good fish keep it up maybe I will have to drag out a fly rod
-
Funny thing....there was a guy who's camping at the town park near the launch. He had a boat docked and went out just after me. He was panfishing and watching me very intently as I was working on the carp. When I hooked one he had his binoculars out.
Back at the launch he came over and asked what I caught. Some conversation and I found out he was a beginner Fly fisher. By the time we were done talking he had a big handful of flies, a furled leader and a bunch of advice.
Hope he gets the bug.
