The weather was messing with us but we got a good break for a few hours. Ray did outstanding for his first time and got to shoot one of the biggest carp I have seen. It was a great day!

Good job on the carp, Ray.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 16, 2011, 09:51:56 PM: I hate them 2! Rattlers are bad in that area as well. I know you and Bobcat have stomped around over here a little I love it here.
Dam carp were deep today. It was pretty cold for awhile with rain and wind. We got a nice break and he smacked his toad! Wish they would have been up on the surface more. Lots of shots, but the deep ones are hard to shoot and we stuck a ton that we did not land. Just to deep to get really good penetration on them and the arrows would come out in the fight. A great day on the water with my buddy.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 19, 2011, 06:19:29 PM: I guess it depends on what your taste buds tell ya :chuckle: I know that some people eat them. They do a lot of harm to sport fish eggs like bass,blue gill,catfish etc. It's good to take out as many as one can.

Post by: jackmaster on July 21, 2011, 06:51:47 AM: there was a time when my dad took me to this pond, we always called it petes pond, but anyways the water got real low that year and created a damn so on the little side of the pond the carp were trapped in about a foot of water, well we broke down a few rapalas for there treble hooks and just had a blast snagn carp and chunkn them on to the bank we ended up with 43 carp and by the time we had left there a few ratcoons going to town on them, i was 9 or 10 at the time so you can imagine hookn into a 10 lb carp at that age, dudes it was a blast, i should get a bow and go back there cause that looks like alot of fun
