Went out AGAIN today... this time to my normal local carp hole, blocks from the house. Same rigs, same conditions (although a little warmer today) and same results. Hooked one on the small rig (ML with 12 lb test rod under a bobber) and had my drag set too loose on the hookset. I'm getting REALLY sick of missing and losing fish...
These fish were absolutely toying with me today... nibble nibble nibble, GONE...
But 2.5 hours fishing with the boy is STILL 2.5 hours fishing with the boy, regardless of fish caught (or lack thereof)
One thing to note, I've NEVER seen carp get airborne as much as I did today. They were jumping ALL over the lake... They were obviously attacking some kind of floating bug or vegetation. They were coming 3-4 feet out of the water at times and making waves all over the place. Pretty cool to see...
