Went fishing in 71 degree Carnegie Lake this evening on the hottest day for this year. Air temp was 87 degrees. Weather was sunny, hot and humid with a light south wind. Threw out a can of corn for chum, then caught and released a white perch, yellow perch and bluegill with a chartreuse 1/32 oz Big Eye jig and 1” chartreuse twister tail on 2 lb test line. Caught and released a 13” brown bullhead with whole kernel corn bait. Landed a 13” brown bullhead, largemouth bass, and common carp with my homemade corn meal bait on a #8 red treble hook and 12 lb test line. Caught the carp on my last cast of the day again. Caught 26 carp this year. Got mosquito 🦟 bites. Carp were jumping and making bubbles. 10 fishermen were nearby.
