Best bet for a large carp in NE Indiana?

[taxid]

I want to put a big big carp on the wall in my display room this year. Any suggestions where my best bet to catch one is after the spawn? I know of several places and even had a couple of biologists offer suggestions. Just wanted to hear your take on this.

Anyone else fish Sylvan for carp years ago before it was renovated? I used to fish with Wheaties doughballs and ultralight tackle and had a blast. I hear they are back in Sylvan.

Im not familiar with alot of the lakes around here yet, but Lake Michigan has some Bigguns, they look like torpedos in the water around the warm water discharges.

OLIVER,  for a fat pig.

ST JOE above bristol for size. (length)

Lake MI for submarines, mi city and benton harbor the best bet.

I would be more than happy to drop off a sub or two but you'll have to wk around an ARROW hole! i've seen your wk ....you should have no problems with a 1/4 inch hole.

Bronzebacker,

Thanks for the offer but I'm going to get a pig by myself. Just wanted some suggestions.

Based on my bowfishing experience i would put sylvan at the top. I have seen more 25 lb fish out of there than anywhere. But the great lakes have some real monsters. Every time i leave the harbors on michigan or erie i have seen some really big fish cruising around.

huntington res. has alot of carp, big ones too!

[Bronzebacker]

tko .....c'mon man he said BIG ....25 is mid weight...

had a tourney a couple of summers ago the top 3 went 102. the one pictured was about 25 and was whacked by iceman 24/7.  I told him not to shoot til the BIG ones moved in!  He'll get his 40 soon enough. he saw 'em a bit to late.

Taxi if the rod and reel doesn't wk out let me know...we'll put ya on 'em

I think I'll soak some Wheaties below the d**n on Sylvan. I know from experience that carp hand in the flow below the d**n.  I fouled hooked a monster there once.

for sure with out a doubt catch 'em ponds (its a bait store where you can pay 5 dollars to fish the ponds) in fish lake! the pond right back from the bait store to the right of the road is loaded with hogs!

At the warm water discharges in Lake MI you could get a 50 pounder. The giggest one I got was 42 pounder

We see them all the time on Sylvan. My grandparents live there and and when we crappie fish at night they are always up swimming by the seawall...
