Well, the Carp have been slow, but some nice fish have been caught. yesterday BaitBoat Charllie caught a 62# Buff. Scott caught a 41 and 36 Buff. Keith Melrose caught a 35#10oz Buff. Neil established a PB Grasser with his first ever- 17#. This morning I woke up to a new PB Grassie-36#8oz and at the same time Scott had a 27#5oz Buff. No Carp yet, but good-sized fish when we get 'em.

Chad

What is the popular hook/hair bait?

mostly maize- me & charlie. scott has had luck with tigers.

chad

congrats on the new pb grasser. I blanked this morning @ WR

No more Carp/Buffs. Scott just caught a 2# Kitty. This wind is nasty.

I'm gonna take a nap in my new tentcot(too cool)

Chad

Terry "telfish" caught the first(only so far) Carp- A 20#3oz beauty.

Everybody has left-I'm going to be solo tonight. I hope my toes don't freeze off!

Chad

Congrats guys! Wish I could have been there to see in the new year with you all. Best of luck to everyone!

I've landed 2 fish in '08 and they each were a new PB.

Chad

Whats the second?

Chad, that is awesome. Hopefully, they're still around next week!

I've landed 3 fish in '08 and each of them is a new PB.

After I made the post about the 2, one of my alarms went off and I caught the third PB.

(2 of them, while significant as PB's, are of peripheral species- Incidental like the Bass I got last time.)

Chad

We know about the grasser, Chad, but what is the other one?

looks like chad has the same phone as me with the double post

I don't know what you're talking about...lol

I'm going with catfish, then. I'm bored, so my guess is a 20+ lb blue and a 15 lb channel.

The second PB happened like this:

Everyone else had left so I was getting ready for the cold that I'm going to have to deal with tonight. While I was moving around doing all this stuff, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. This was not a "bring in the lines and mosey up to the head" urge, this was a "stop wh%t you're doin' 'cause I'm about toruin the image and the style that you're used to" urge.

I grabbed my remotes, hoppped in the truck, and motored up to the junior restroom by the water supply stuff. As I walked briskly into the potty, I had my alarms and phone in my hand and went to set the down, but suddenly one of the alrms sounded! I said aloud, "OH HAYELLLL NO!!".

Nothing was gonna turn this train around.

I continued on with my business; rushing...but not rushing-You know the drill. While I was in the final phase of the operation, the alarm sounded again!! I finished and got the truck and raced back to the campsite.

One of my lines was slack and it was time to rebait, so I began to pull the lines in from that pod. While pulling the third one in, it felt like a fish was on and buried in the weeds. I was pretty excited. When I pulled the fish through the weeds to the near flat, the fish surfaced.!.!.!

It was a Gizzard Shad!! 1#2oz of Pure New PB!! lol

Third was a Blue Cat- 4#4oz.

Hopefully I'll have nore to do later than give the Starless Treatment to a shad capture...

Chad

he he-not bad...I would have preferred these...lol

chad

I thought about shad. I caught my pb shad (1.5 lbs) on Town on a tiger nut.

any pics?

stay warm man, it gonna get COLD tonight

I just caught and released a 28#10oz Grasser. When I was straightening up afterward, I noticed that my weigh Sling had frozen over. YIKES!!!

Chad

No pics yet. I'm posting from my phone. The only pic we took with the phone was too dark.

Chad

Finally landed a Carp!! About an hour ago my alarm woke me to a 23#10oz Common. When I went to grab my net, it wouldnmt move. I thought it was stuck, but it had frozen to the ground after that last Grasser.

Chad

Another Common-15#2oz.

Wow congratz dude on all your success. Sounds like alot of nice fish and a nice trip.
Thats crazy the net froze to the ground lol!

Just got woken up by another Common(about 13-14#)...Where were these guys yesterday?

I'm about to pack up. It's been fun.
