the carp are back

[block head]

the carp fishing has started to heat up, bass/pike are crushing top water lures. not a bad time to take a kid fishing. a local hobbiest noticed my reef crystal bucket in the photo

is that the canal in Brockport?

it's the canal further east. spencerport/brockport has plenty as well. the fish was the smallest of many that day. a guy i fish with caught a 50lb carp in 2000 from the canal.

Nice Log!

Nice Log!

Wow Justin! That thing's a monster! :eek1: Where the heck did you catch that log?

And on 4 lb with no leader! I've never been that lucky myself! We fish the St Lawrence all the time, and I've yet to catch one that big. I'm jealous!

Thx!

Caught at Conesus Lake on a small 1/8th oz. Spinner Bait. We're targeting bass and pike but since it's primarily a recreational boat it's difficult to fish the docks w/no trolling motor, so we've been just drifting on the deep side of the weed beds.

Quantity hasn't been great but the quality is sure there! I'm fine with that though
