Carp are a blast...Spruce is loaded with them...but I'm usually so friggin' amped up and focused on casting for "anything" that I never take the time to target them. Gotta hit that lake sometime with nothing but Carp Bait and a couple rods to force myself to do it...there's some submarines in there for sure.

First Carp experience was when my son was about 7...we were fishing the canal at Duke Island Park for sunnies...real tiny ones with corn...catching about 1 a minute. Then I think he is snagged because the little rod bends in half when he sets the hook.....few minutes later about a 3 lb carp comes to the surface. Not big for a carp but when you're 7 and have been catching 2 oz sunnies and that thing comes out of the water...it was like he caught a Blue Marlin.....Man there aint nothing better. He was talking about that fish for a month.
