Thanks. The lake down the street from my house has nice carp. I used corn the few times I fished for them, always telling myself I'll target them more.

Awesome catch - OK you convinced me... I live on a private lake established over 60 years ago that has HUGE carp (along with bass, etc.) but I have never fished them (and neither has anyone else). This year, it's time to give it a go.

Sounds like it could be a honey hole. If you want me to come by and give it a try with you let me know. I'll bring the rigs, bait and beer.

Here are a few pics from today. My buddy Chris came out for the first time this year and got a few nice ones. I got my biggest of the year so far, 27lb scarfin. 8 fish today and the average size was 20lbs.

I don't know if I'd call them healthy looking...I think they need to get their cholesterol checked.

Man I used to Bow fish these type of specimens in my younger days in TN, GA, and NC. On hook and line takes it to a new level with catch and release opportunities. While I always knew folks who would take the catch in the past, catching them on the "arrow" was always really exciting. Have seen some monsters in Spruce Run and every time I go there I take the old bow-n-arrow rig just in case I get that one shot! I haven't targeted them specifically, may need to change tactics.
