Carp Fishing

Hit a local waterway in Union County after work. Decided to try carp fishing. It was my 3rd time...never really tried since I thought they were "trash" fish. Was I wrong. First time catching a carp and man what a blast. Ripping line, Drag screaming, the fish were all over the place. So much fun. I am hooked. TD

They are super strong fish. Most underestimate them due to lack of knowledge. Cool fish to target and we have some monsters in NJ. Awesome catch! :D

I caught one today with corn bait on a #8 gold hook and 4 lb test line in Central Jersey flood water. Ultralight carping is lots of fun.

Carp are great game fish... Pound for pound they pull as hard as any fresh water fish, including Largemouth Bass, Pike, Musky, Lake Trout . Channel Cats, etc.... bob
