Day 366: Union County Carp

[catfishonthelake]

Since it was a leap year, today was the last day. I only had 30 minutes to fish, but the carp were on the chew mad-style the second we arrived. I hooked one within 10 minutes and after a nice fight, my fiancee took the second fish after another 30 seconds. Her fish peeled off 50 yards of drag but she fought it like a pro. The mudsub wouldn't give up and it took her over 10 minutes to get it in. What a great morning. Fish caught on corn...of course. I estimate both fish between 15 and 20 pounds.

Hey I live right near there. I didn't know there were such big carp in there. That pond was empty a year or 2 ago.

Yeah Danyeo, there's some nice fish in there. And thanks Fishon. I'm just gonna go back to blogging once a week instead of once a day. I'll still go fishing prob once a week and I'll get the report up.

What lake or pond are you referring to? It seems that the thread was deleted or is missing some info.. I can't see the pics either.

All my years playing MTG and I never got that card . Awesome pic!


My guess on location based on my recollection of 365 days of fishing (life goals) and Union county. Lenape Park or Nomohegan
