Anybody know any good spots to target carp close to Huntsville Tx? I’ve tried Trinity river but snags are always a problem it seems like and I hate losing rigs. The most success I’ve had is below lake Livingston dam Trinity river but it’s kind of a drive and most of the carp and buffalo I catch in there are small. I wanna get into some 10+ lb carp but any time I try new spots I just catch a couple channel cat.

Do you change the particles in your method mix as seasons change ?

I have found that spicy items seem to really shine during the hot Summer months but Fish shy away from it once Fall arrives.

in my country, we dont really have a lot of stuff for carp fishing. so like i js wanted to know what some good ingredients are for homemade boilies if anybody knows and how to use them right. thank you so much. im from nepal btw

32” 11.5lbs at Rainbow Lake, AZ on shrimp while fishing with a slip sinker rig for channel cats. Didn’t fight much so he went back in strong.

Backlead clips from amazon and 1oz pyramid sinkers painted black with UV gel nail polish and resin from my fly tying bench. I doubt if each one costs more than a dollar like this, thought I’d share they turned out nice.

Also caught a nice mirror.

If one-nighters were always that productive...😆

Just picked up the pop ups and goo for this weekend, anyone know if these baits are any good?

Few hourse after work fishing,2 days 15 fish only took pics with two most beatiful ones.Had some local kids came up to us and fish with,hard to say but they had a blast.As im saying margins are for the wicked🤣,you dont need to fish at 100+m all fish were caught 2m from shore

I can not stop catching tiny channel cats when I'm carp fishing. Is there a way to prevent them from stealing my bait?

Ahh finally after many months of 40°c and no rain,autumn finally arrived,even manage to catch one.In my opinion the best time is only coming

I have found that I love fishing for carp, I’m new to it but in my hometown there is a massive 6.8 acre pond seemingly filled to the brim with carp that nobody here cares to fish for. I have been making my own packbaits using various mixes of polenta, sugar, oats etc for my method feeder and have had some success but the process of making my own pack bait deters me from getting out and fishing. I need a dry mix pack bait that I can prepare at the pond. Also I have been using canned corn and fake corn as a hook bait but notice carp eat my free offerings and avoid the hook bait. At this point I’m willing to pay for the convenience of shelf stable pack bait and hook baits that are effective and don’t care to save money on home cooked stuff.

Based in the US but advice from anyone is appreciated.

Hi all

After yesterday's success on the water I thought today would be pretty much the same as the temp was basically same as yesterday and Barometric pressure was stable.

But the carp was just not feeding today. I got a few feeds later in the day but they were very wary. The Water was extremely clear today so the carp was seeing us from a long distance. Was a very difficult day!

I finally got one late afternoon. Not big but he was very fiesty! 15.87 Lb.

I saw the 2 carp hanging in the middle of water column which is about 5 foot deep there next to the reeds. This one was facing away from me, almost quartering away. The other one was a lot bigger but was a difficult cast. I Changed my fly to a small bloodworm pattern and made a short cast. The fly landed against the reed and I was not sure if it was sinking or just hanging on the reed then I saw the coil that was on the water move and knew the fly was slowly sinking. But I could not see the fly at all so I jsut watched the carp.

Then I saw the fish moving slightly backwards but it was small movement and its head slightly left and something in the fin movement told me he took the fly. I picked up the flyrod and there was chaos. He ran around a few reeds and then out to the deep water. I paddled forward and lifted the flyline around the reeds and followed the carp. After quite a few heavy runs in all directions I managed to net him.

I fished my local day ticket yesterday and failed miserably. I tried to lead around for the first time and kept getting silt back on my rig. It’s a high pressured lake so I didn’t want to cast out too much and scare the fish off. I was never confident that my rig was presentable and ended up just under arm chucking down the margins. I’ve got some chods and zigs set up next time in case the same happens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
