Those are some big fish!What are you using to catch them?
Fish a section of the Charles River on Sunday, chummed with some corn and bread balls made with flavored breadcrumbs and the residual "juice" from the can of corn.Fished from 12 - 4, and would have left at 3 if I didn't know there was a carp cruising the area.It's always encouraging when you see a fish breach in the area you will be fishing, so you know you have a chance.Around 3:30 or so as I was checking my lines I got a fish. ran like a freight train but I was able to keep it from getting into any snags.after a decent battle I hauled it in to shore. (I need to get/make a carp "cradle" so accurately weigh and measure these beasts.My best guesstimate would be around 36" and somewhere between 20-25 lbs.I am so glad that I gave carping a try, and thankfully it hasn't caught on big-time yet around where I fish.There are a number of water ways around here that I believe might hold some big fish. My only trouble is access points and time to fish....
