looking for someone to carp fish with in the DFW area, open friday or saturday nights.

No one in the DFW area fishes for carp...

hey fellow CAG member what about you?

lots of good carp action here, how about Houston?

Some, but not as much (as I can tell) as in the DFW area; believe it or not, we don't have as much fresh water down here!

I am a bit lazy when it comes to finding new spots; I have a pond and creek a couple of minutes from the house, and although I have caught only up to 12 pounds there, and blank about 30% of the time, I just enjoy getting outside by the pond and creek.

Have you seen the new Lake Houston water body record on TP&W website Sherwood? Somebody got a 40.

Wow..40inch in june ( after spawn) thats a BIG fish!

that's hard to believe...uhem....if that's accurate, id be spending a lot of time on that water you houston guys.

I wonder if it was a grass carp and not a common....

Wow thats amazing.
I wonder if he was targeting carp or got it 'accidentally'?
Must be some big predators in there as well to keep down the 'dink' population to allow for a 40 to grow. Gator gars, probably.
It sounds like the Ponderosa in October might be the ticket!

I can not say that I have actually fished lake Houston but from what I have heard there are a lot of small carp in there. Maybe we can do a session there in October. We can have a nice fishin and see what we can come up with. We need to pick a good spot to fish though that has enough bank space. Suggestions anyone!

Apart for Deussen Park I'm not sure what is available with ample bank space.

Good news: common carp was caught and released!
More good news: The three biggest fish caught (carp, blue cat, flathead cat) were all caught in the past 18 months.

If a common carp of 40inch is caught in june after spawn its weight is at its smallest of the whole year
If the same fish is caught in winter its a lot heavier

we haved fished deussen park alot and have blanked everytime but I have high hopes for ponderosa marina this fall. justin (fishinfiend) caught a 10lb common at the big eddy today. and we see alot of other people fishing for carp there.

what happened to my post, I was looking for a fishing partner

sorry man sometimes a thread will go way off course on here. id be your fishing buddy but my schedule is too erattic to commit to something like that. i will meet you to fish when i can though.

stephen a couple of guys are hooking up saturday at lake worth . get on it man

Stephen, most likely you will need to meet some, like crago or chris garcia, when they are putting together a session.
There are lots of guys looking for partners at different times; keep an eye on these threads and you'll be able to hook up with them.

Tight lines!

yea this is where we usually get a session started and see were it goes from here

I did hook up with Jeff and chris once and was hoping to do so again, I am alway free on weekends if anybodyfeels likes getting there lines wet, and hey I know posts get crazy I was just messin around lol

Mr Kleen if i am not mistaken we met at benbrook on the barge, you were with your son with all the glow sticks on your rods,
if it was not you I apologize

As the weather cools down I plan on spending a lot more time on the bank than I have been lately. It's usually me and my Dad, but you'd be welcome to come along any time Stephen. I hope to hit the ponds and Grapevine especially hard come fall. I need new PB's, carp and buff both lol.
