[Obi-Wan]

Not sure why but I have a sudden urge to go carp fishing

Good stuff. Anyone caught a carp through the ice?

I've tried, but it's tough to get a decent backcast with the fly rod in my ice shack

Last weekend i was fishing on Oahe in 30 ft, when all of the sudden a big mark shows up on my vexilar about 5 ft off the bottom. I pull up to the mark and all of the sudden the fight was on. I was pretty sure it wasn't a walleye, i knew it wasn't a pike, and after a few long runs i got my first glimpse. It was a big carp and i had him snagged behind his front pectoral fin. I got him up to the hole a couple times but he would run again and eventually popped the hook out. It was fun, but of course was disappointed it wasn't a walleye or trout or salmon.

if you could get them to bite, they would be a blast through the ice. i ain't much for cleaning fish once i leave the ice after drinking a couple of beers. so, this carp fishing seems like it would be my cup of tea. other than the fact we don't really have carp round these parts and i don't like driving more than 5 miles to ice fish.

I had a high school buddy who bowfished/speared them during the hard water season. Would cut a big hole in the shallows and wait for them to cruise through. He'd figure out their travel corridors and stack them up. Great fun in the winter.

It's possible to target them. There's some stuff on UTube. I don't know if this was a "target".

There's also some stuff on spearing. Do ya'll believe a bow should be allowed in a darkhouse? I do.

You could have brought it home and put in your bathtub for Xmas dinner like they do in Poland or Czech republic...

Sam wood outdoors has a video from a wintertime carp shoot. He stacked em up like cardboard

I wonder if (yuck) that red meat could be treated as tuna?

One fine day a man caught a very large carp. It was so large and beautiful he didn't have the heart to kill it. He quickly returned home and placed the great fish in a bathtub. Each day he drained a bit of water until eventually the fish could breathe air.

On day on a walk while crossing a small bridge above a brook; the carp slipped off and drowned.

The fisherman was overwhelmed with grief over the irony as he forgot to gradually re-fill the tub and vary the regimen.

It must be somewhat hard to get them to bite considering how many guys are out there using bait that should theoretically trigger them yet I've never seen one caught. Last year down at cattail I had waves of big marks coming through every couple minutes. Eventually dropped the camera down and it was groups of five to ten big ass common carp coasting by. It was odd they had no reaction to anything going on down there! Best way to describe them was they almost looked like they were doing the fish version of sleep walking!?

You can use your bow in S.D.

 

[svnmag]

How far down does the arrow stay effective?

 

[bowcarp]

depends on how well your bow is tuned , minimal splash as the arrow enters the water is best I've hit carp in what the depth finder said was 6' of water but I couldn't tell if the were just off the bottom or suspended a bit
