carp on jigs

While fishing at Mammoth Park to-day I caught my first Carp of the year on a 1/64 oz mini-foo tipped with a waxie.Gave the old St. Croix a workout with 4# line.I usualy get a few in the spring while fishing for trout & crappie. Needless to say Quite a surprise when they inhale that jgi. sam

    I've caught a couple on jigs also.I caught 1 on small bucktail crappie jig and the other on a jighead tipped with mealworms.I caught both of them on my 5' Fenwick UL and 4 lb test.

    I'm gonna fish more and work less.

    Caught one myself last summer at mammoth on a meal worm on a jig head right under that little bush that has a runoff pipe under.it I could see a few trout swimming in fast runoff and when I tried to catch one of those the carp ate it. Six lb braid light action rod. Also got one on a grass hopper under a float w my noodle rod and four lb flouro while bluegill fishing. He was sixteen lbs and thirtyone inches.

    I've caught several carp on tube jigs while smallmouth fishing the Susquehanna River.  I would not recommend using this method if your target fish was carp but green pumpkin tubes on 1/16 oz 3/0 jig hooks have worked on more than one occasion.
