Snuck in a quick trip with my son last week. Surprising he did so well in 40 degree weather. Put out a three rods and literally couldn't keep all three rods out. I think he ended up with five fish in less than 90 minutes with a double at once then headed home. Smaller class of fish than we would like but a great time none the less.

I rarely carp fish and was thinking of taking a chance in this weather, knowing where they may be stacking up in some river spots. Good work out in the cold :)

That’s amazing. I didn’t get a hit while ultralight jigging in Carnegie Lake this afternoon.

Seasoned angler at a young age, awesome. Pretty sure first time I've ever seen pictures of carp and a blue claw crab trying to eat a corn kernel on the same post! Impressive!

Great job!

Yeah that was extremely surprising to me as well but it's in a tidal area.

Apparently they do, just need to find them. I pre-baited a bit the day before.

Honestly, I am an offshore guy. I know carp get a bad rep but we love them, they are predatory so I get it but they really fight so my son loves them. We target bass, catfish and pike but this is his thing now.

Yeah he's a good boy. All he wants to do is fish. Starts at 5:45am ... "are we fishing today after school?" literally like clockwork. No complaints from me lol
