Went out again for two hours today. Dad has to go to work this afternoon.
After getting set up we found out some suckers had moved in.
I got a nice 25" carp a little while later.
I was using worms as bait and i put two on the hook near the end of our time and tried a spot just up from where we were getting the fish. This time I only put it about 4' from shore and as I was winding up the slack my line took off in a straight line. I got a nice 27.5" carp. Dad got some fish too and he will tell his side.

Wowzers!
Wowzers, Jonathan- you sure have the carp mastered!
I bet John is getting pretty jealous at this point.
Keep up the good work, but PLEASE let your Dad catch some good ones, too- he's on my team.

D As the water warms the fish are becoming more active. Suckers on the move is always a good sign of spring. I got two nice white suckers to start off.
The sucker bite was hard to detect in the breeze.It was very light..I noticed my line went slack and even though I was winding in I kept getting slack. Finally I felt some weight and set the hook on this nice 24" red horse sucker.
Now Jonathan had all the big carp so far , but I had faith I would get some. I landed a 22" one and then I finally got a screamer and landed a chunky 25.5" carp. Not bad for twp hours.. Now its time to go to work..

I'll only start to get jealous when they're the same size as jonathanCancatchbass wrote:I bet John is getting pretty jealous at this point.

JONATHAN...CAN YOU HEAR ME CLAPPING FOR YOU?!
FANTASTIC JOB ON THE CARP! I AM VERRRY IMPRESSED!
(Now, Salmon, as for you... )
Gotta love that last pic of you Jonathan, standing on the point with the large carp -- I hope your Dad puts that one in a frame. More memories!
Conrat's on some successful fishing, guys!

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
