Myself and Clayton "Wildman of the Navidad" went carping and did pretty good. We caught three nice carp. The smallest was in the 12 pound range and the two largest were in the 15 pound range. Clayton caught one on ultralight tackle with four pound test line. Fish were caught on corn and all were released to fight again. Getting in on some Carp action. It just don't get any better!

Great time gave em a slight thrashin that day

Carp fights are Awesome. Had a blast Clayton.

Anytime i get off of work im ready to go back

Nice fish on light tackle!! Doesn't get any better!!

Thanks JJ4MEL for the reply! Love that Ultralight ACTION! Clayton: You have my number! CALL ME!

Nice fish. How is the carp bite during the winter.

It stays warm enough i catch them year round

Nice fish banker!

Thanks Gitter and BendaRod(WC) for the replies. Gitter: I have never fished for Carp during the winter. I have been told that they feed during the winter months and to take advantage of the warm spells. Going to give it a try this winter!

You guys have caught some super Carp this year. Good job. Been seeing a lot of nice ones far lower end. How about you?



Side Note: Seen some nice ones on the creeks as well.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. I have seen plenty of Carp this year mainly in the deeper water bodies. As for the lower end I have seen a lot of nice ones as well.

Would love to see some winter carp postings.

Hope to get you sum!

I landed and released a nice carp off my my dock while working on my boat.
About 5 ft. of water ,d'ont know the temp, but it did not mater.

Thanks sae for the reply.
I think carp feed all the time. Going to try to catch a few this winter.

Thanks Chuck. I might just have to rig up a pole or two and set up on some docks. Would love to hook into one on my flyrod!

Carp fishing, so much fun! WTG guys!!

Thanks Yesenia for the reply! Catching some BIG carp is a BLAST! Curtis: The fight is worth it!

I have caught em on a regular rod and reel and had FANTASTIC FIGHTS! I could only imagine a fight on a flyrod! Catching carp on the fly is on my bucket list for sure.

It would be a "Fight of a Lifetime" to get one of those BIG RIVER CARP on a flyrod! Would love to see it!

In the summer I pop grasshoppers with my flyrod in the rivers and usually catch carp each outing. They are a great fight and when the water is shallow the runs can be really long.

I have a spot on a south Texas River that is shallow! Use night crawlers on my ultra light and get GREAT FIGHTS from the 3 to 5 pound carp . Love the fight those fish produce.

You are a carp expert!

I wish I was! Just happen to be at the right place at the right time! Love that Carp FIGHT!



Side Note: I owe a lot to the anglers who post in this section. I have learned a lot over the years by reading their post. It also helps to fish with someone who really knows about Carp fishing. Clayton aka The Wildman of the Navidad is a GREAT person to fish with!
