Re: anyone carp today?
I hit Milton Lake in Rahway yesterday. After I found some real estate with no #$%&ing geese or ducks, I threw out a can of creamed corn and let it sit while I put some new line on my reel. First cast with the kernel and had a runner in seconds, went to set the hook and saw a huge wake as a carp swam away. Not sure if he took my bait or just swam into the line, but the way it pushed water it was a decent fish. Second cast had another pick-up in seconds but it didn't connect. That was all the action. Saw lots of bubbles from feeding carp but most were outside casting range. It was like the same crap in the Spring where I could see them feeding but they just didn't want to travel too far or eat corn. Lots of smaller fish swirling on the surface. By nightfall it seemed dead though, all the action I had and saw was between 2 and 4pm. Oh well, putting the carp rods away for reals now. I need some frickin ICE before MLK day. The heck with this 70 degree stuff.
