[QUOTE="Lando, post: 313852, member: 7546"] I call them poopfish. Most people hate them, but I love them. It all started the summer of '08 when gas prices were out of control, so I decided to stick closer to home. At first, they kicked my ass, but I spent hours upon hours chasing them. I gazed at Google Earth looking for new water, talked with anyone and everyone about where they might be, and finally started having success. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47075._xfImport[/ATTACH] For me, it is the hunt. Finding a happy fish and then making them eat a fly without spooking the entire lot isn't an easy task. I found an old jon boat, did some mods, added a poling platform, and pretended I was in the Caribbean. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47077._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]47076._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]47073._xfImport[/ATTACH] My most successful pattern is a simple leech. It has a glass bead with AZ Simiseal. It lands soft, it is easy to see, and carp suck it up everywhere. To add weight, I use a heavier hook. I think it allows me to control the depth I fish a lot easier. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47074._xfImport[/ATTACH] If you want to learn how to spot fish, become a better caster, or work on presentation, carp are a great fish and a fun challenge. Besides, anyone can catch trout. Do you know the color of your backing? [/QUOTE]
