Been hittin the river lately mainly targeting carp, with some casts here & there for some river wolves as well. Have had great numbers of carp with the mulberries being the main course and surpisingly all common carp. I catch fish all year, but when the mulberries start dropping, hands down, all I am looking for is carp! Was able to have Tunanut & company over to the spot to see if we get a few for his son as a slimy birthday present. So with the tree doing the chumming, we showed him how to rig up properly and within no time he had his 1st berry carp! With that being as cool as it was, me and his Dad shot the breeze while he stayed focused baiting up and watching the movements in the water. Out of nowhere he hooks another and this was the one we were looking for! After a bit of a fight, we saw the size the big girl had and could only wait, adrenaline pumping, till she got close enough to net. He fought her like a pro, and was able to land this 31 1/2" beast of a carp!!! The smile he had was huge! The camaraderie shared after was even greater! I can't say I've ever felt better about someone
else's catch than I did after that! I didn't catch squat, but had a blast! Big sorry to Tunanut. The amount of soap & sanitizer he will need to get the juice off his fingers will only last until the berries are gone.
Thanks for coming, it was awesome!!! His mask blended a little too well with the flora, lol!
