Karp-Catch-A

Met up with stoneface to do some feshing for carp. Decided on leaving the euro kit at home and took the float rod to show you don't need a barrow load of gear to catch ****loads of them.
 
This isn't run of the mill sweetcorn, it's magic **** but we also used cube spam and bread. Can't get much simpler then that ****

 
Gear, noodles rod, small reel with a good drag, 4lb main line with a 2lb fluro leader, waggler float with shot spaced, and #14 sabertooth. Don't need heavy stuff if you know how to control the karp, plus lessens the chance of spooking them this close.
 
Location, won't say this time (like the last times ) The spot we decided on was a lovely spot snags and overhanging brushes on both sides with a thick weedbed 15 yards out with a deep "channel" 4'-5' right off the bank. After some baiting, stone took the right I took the left. Bubbles started showing carp were feeding heavy. Wasn't long before my float shot under.
 
Short "fight" resulted in a tailless one 

 
Shortly followed by:

 

 

 
None were monsters that day (5-8lb peanuts) so I put the camera away, but stone and I were in them as thick as bluegills at times.

    those are very very nice carp but what mud puddle did you catch them in ?  It don,,t  take a pro angler like you to catch carp like them ones. From the look of that corn it is field corn not sweet corn i have  never seen that big of kernel,s on a ear of sweet corn.

     Nice carp Mountain Man! Not monsters as you stated, but still nice ones. As always, you have the most interesting Avatars! I wouldn't be surprised if my comment drew some criticism, but it's too bad the yearly Carp-A-Thon hasn't existed for a few years. Eventually it probably would have made a difference in the lakes' ecology. Sure are alot of carp in there!
