Target practice on some "Golden Bones"

Post by KyTrkyHntr »

O.K. so after the Gar on the fly I decided to see what I could do on some carp. Cruising the freshwater flats and seeing these guys tail is pretty cool!! I'm getting in some good casting practice (which I need a lot more of...:smt012 ) and hopefully I don't pee my pants when I find some Reds next time I'm down south!! Spooked a few, had a few follow and I finally found one that would eat! Can't wait to get back out there!!! :thumbup:

Carp - 6 Tim - 1

After the carp Kim and I headed over to Garville and I "roped" one in for a Trashcan Double on the fly! :-D

I'm not too big of a freshy fan anymore, but your reports sure make me want to get back out there
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

It's all I've got up here!!! :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I love to BASS fish as much as the next guy, but I think I've zoned in on similar tatics I can use when fishing for Reds. Hopefully this will take my game to the next level!

You should see the look on some of the guys faces when I launch at the ramp and cruise by them on points. I just :smt006

That carp taken from the clean water in the back ground would be very good table fare when fried up right. :lick: Folks pay to catch em in the mid west and guard their dough ball recipes for sure :x
