Nice going RG, I'll have to get my grandson into the carp bite next spring.

Those are big carp, nice going rgfixit, great chronicles. :)

I don't often go for carp, but, when I do always enjoy catching them, so strong, even the little ones. :w00t:

We've always had good luck with ground up Wheaties cereal mixed with vanilla extract and water. The carp homed in on them quickly.

I've never tried that mix before, sounds interesting! Does the vanilla extract attract the carp better then other scents?

Are there carp in Florida?
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I don't know as that is all we used. Never tried anything else. All I know is it didn't take long for them to home in on the bait.

I think they are just about everywhere. I've caught my biggest ones in nearly sterile trout lakes.

Started the season catching a lot of small males, but the big girls finally came in. I figured out that they are much more active in the evenings/night and only little guys during the day. Got 3 over 20lbs so far and 1 fat mutant!

Nice fish! Haven’t had time to go after them yet. Still getting the golf course set up. Should ease up soon…..I hope.
