i like going to Banks lake for carp fishing. i wont keep them though as the only part that tastes good is the ribs, nice white meat. but it has to be smoked for me to like it lol

they sure are a blast to fight on light gear though, not big on killing critters i wont eat so i wont bow fish them either.

Yes, I don't eat them either. And its nice when its 4lb test and a small trout pole

 Heck yes!!!! I love fishing for the big lugs!

 We use bread dough and corn.

 Here are some pics of some of the carp we caught last summer. (Three are common carp. The one my littlest boy caught is a mirror carp)

Well having spent 6 years in the UK where carp are looked at and put on the same level as guys here do wild steelhead, yes I love carp fishing.  They are great fish for kids, lots of action and they learn how to fight fish on light tackle.  Great learning tool for when they start taking on game fish.  I'll post a few UK carp photos tonight.

i love spearfishing for carp...  awesome.  home made spear and a good throwing arm = 14-18 carp a day   


quick question,  is snagging carp illegal?

[h20hunter]

Carp on light gear are awesome!

Ahhh, yes, the old Round Mouth Bass.  I used to spend almost every waking moment in my youth fishing and harpooning them in the Milwaukee river in my home town in WI.

Ahhh, yes, the old Round Mouth Bass.

Ahhh, no.....you just didn't say that.... However, they can be a hoot to battle with beings with an arrow or lightweight spinning gear.  I've even sold a few to a certain culture back in the day.....yeller' sided salmon......
