well this trip was a great one, thanks to jason, it was kinda warm but the wind stay with us and kept things kinda cool, after we get our gear down to the dock with the atv, we get setup and now its close to 2am. at around 3am i start things off with a couple kittys, then he gets into this carp at 12lbs or so.

then i followed it up with this one here,

then a bit later jeff gets this one here.


after that it stoped, but the kittys didnt lol. the next day we was sitting around talking when jeff gets a bite,he sets the hook and says its a turtle, after unhooking it we let it sit on its lid for a bit to teach it a lesson, so i thought id snap a pic,


after that i went and got lunch, we at and while i was eating jeff got this nice common with a tiny head lmao


next page

then we see this stuff floatin in the water, we didnt know what it was, so i hooked up a weight and a treble hook and we started trying to get this goop stuff, after a google search we think its somekind of plant.



anyone know what this stuff is, it felt like silicone but looked like a jelly fish in the water lol.
when night came we baited up a whole lot and settled in. here is a few more pics and jeffs new pm drift wood and pb common carp at 18lbs.




here is my 20 and 23 from last night and this morning.

Great trip guys. I have seen that blob stuff at other east Texas lakes. Harmless as far as I know.

yeah its harmless, i think the term for it was "water shield", just some weird plant life!

It was a great trip, and i think we ended up catching somewhere close to 30 catfish

oh i forgot to mention we got board, so i wanted to see if the gar was around, well we netted some shad and jeff decides to hair rig a shad, and i times it, it took 6.42 minutes before he landed a catfish lmao!!!

yes, a SHAD on a hair rig! haha you can't get much
more creative than that!

Yall didn't get any pics of the cats ?

about half were this size or so

and about half were about 2 times this size

We were catching ALOT of big cats!

well, thats 7 photos of carp and i know i put 2 back in without getting a photo, and i'm almost certain you put one back without
a photo as well, so that would put us at 10 Carp for the trip!

From what I can tell that's a channel(I might be wrong though) and it looks bigger than 8lbs . Did you weigh it ?

sounds like yall had a blast so grats!!!

no i usually dont care about weighing kittys, to me there a PITA, unless im keeping for dinner.

mr.kleen we went to lake fork at jasons place, i didnt wanna say cuz i wanted to keep yall wondering where we was.

What ?

way to go guys .hey cris if its alright with jason im up for the next trip .

that wpould "pain in the arse"

jesse anytime your ready my friend. i know jason wouldnt mind at all.

So if you reeled in one these bad boys you'd call it a pain in the arse ?

well no if i was actullay going for catfish, and i would love to get one like in the pics above.

it's just when you catch as many cats as we did in 2 days vs the number of carp, they tend to get on your nerves.

Well yeah , I guess the cats were competing with the carp.

shoot i think there is more cats than carp in there, its pretty bad when you catch 3 at a time every 10 to 15 minutes. you have to put in so much bait that by the time your done, your already tired.

here is a pic of what most looked like,

That's looks like about a ten pound channel cat.

nope. just a tiddler with a swollen belly.

lol full of range no doubt :P that thing looks like its about to pop!

good stuff guys

Great session guys.

nobody seemed to ask , what maize did they bite on ???

yall really had fun and i understood about the loc chris no biggie!

Nice work guys! That's about the average haul of fish there this time of year seems like.

Congrats on the PB Crago!

Also...if you wanna thin down the cats you gotta either fry 'em up or curry 'em. Hehehe.

looks like yall had a blast! thanks for the invite! lol jk jk

ya missed out on a good fish fry by not taking a coleman stove

Very nice fish there and congrats Crago on the new PB!

Yeah, I've been catching about 10 cats for every carp or buff lately too...

Looks like a great trip, congrats on the new PB Jeff

Great session and pixies, guys.

Wow, the guts on some of those channels are huge.

actully jesse we took some scorpian maize and soaked it in chillipowder water in the sun. it seemed to work, but mostly tiger nuts was the main bait due to turtles

Chris, I'd forgotten--do turtles not like tiger nuts?

Only if you slap chop them first. Then they're gonna love your nuts.

i used my home made maize 90% of the time and it has proven
itself in my book, i got the PB on it and the 16 lb carp

thanks everyone, i can feel that 20 coming pretty soon!

yes and no.

they seemed to like the ones i have soaking in vanilla butternut, while the dynamight frenzied tigers seemed to last, i did lose a few but it took a bit longer than with maize, with maize you was getting bites and then reel in and no bait.

.

your maize jeffery kicks butt.

lol thanks, now i just gotta remember what it was i did hahaha

Turtles are rarely a problem on Tiger nuts. I know where Chris was, and usually on that lake, catfish and turtles will eat anything Maize or boilie related...but the turtles will leave Tiger nuts alone.

Last time I was out there I couldn't catch anything on maize cause the turtles were all over it, but as soon as I switched to Tiger Nuts I caught quite a few carp.

yeah i was having the problem with maize as well, and after getting frustrated trying to fish the tree lol i casted as far as i could probably about 50yds maybe further(getting better every day lol) and had the 18lber in about 15 minutes, oh yeah "summer" bait helped too hahaha

i need to catch a few more tigers for there nuts lmao.
