Carp go crazy for crayfish, and Hellgramites if you can get them, so they are used to eating moving living things... bob

Years ago, I waded the Delaware in November, with a brand-new, homemade 6 1/2-foot fast action, perfect for jigging, and I targeted walleye. Don't remember the manufacturer of the blank, but I believe one of the first graphites. I was 17 or 18. Whichever, it's in my fishing log. Don't remember if hair jig or plastic tip, but definitely not live bait, and I got a tap, reared back, and believed I had a nice walleye. Five-pound carp. Not a catch to denigrate. I've fished a lot of waters with carp in them, but these two just happen to be the only ones I've caught on lures. I caught a 12-incher on a live worm, besides. I've never gone for carp much at all, but I feel a lot of respect, especially for the fish I caught yesterday.
