Rather than going to one of the places that I already know, I decided to check out a new spot that another local angler had told me about. As soon as I arrived and made the trek down the wooded trail towards the creek, I instantly knew that I had made the right decision.
Carp were everywhere and I almost instantly hooked up. On Monday, I went 2 for 6 on carp.
This is the first one that I landed which was the third attempt on the day.
After catching this one, I decided to head further downstream and ran into another member there! We chatted and fished. He ended up catching a couple drum, a nice smallie, and a big channel cat! I missed quite a few gar and landed a couple of drum on the fly - a new first for me!
After that, I hit the creek again and had a carp pull out 100 feet of fly line and at least 25 yards of backing. It was incredible!!!!!!!!
