... and I enjoyed it this weekend!

Because of my work schedule, I haven't been able to fish in awhile. I remedied that situation this weekend when I visited one of my favorite "carp on the pole" venues. I dropped my rig in at 12:09 and the float went under one minute later. (It was so fast, I had to check the clock!) The fish took off like a freight train and snagged me on a log. I broke it off, and set up a new rig. I dropped it in, and the float went under in about five seconds. This one tore off too, but I managed to keep him away from the log. When I landed him, I was amazed to see he was only about a pound. (They fight SO hard for their size.) I ended up catching nine others plus two channel cats. I lost three other carp.

I finished up the day casting my fly rod for bluegill.

Fun day!
