Ok who is up for a ghostie trip this Sunday?

I've heard both Saturday and Sunday. Need to know which day for sure Let us know.

I know Rick is going saturday but I can,t make it then, but if there is anybody going sunday count me in.

i have to work on sunday or i would go steve so we are going saturday

I was leaning toward Saturday but the weather now looks like it might be better Sunday. I'll be there one of the two days but gonna wait and see on the weather.

Is anyone going to be there Sunday? Thats the best day for me. Still not a done deal, but looks ok for now. I would be there around 8am.

I'll be there tomorrow as early as I can get there, which probably means around 9.

were getting there tomorrow around 7 or so.i think steve said hes going on sunday curt.anybody else want to go tomorrow morning or sunday with steve

i just got home from work...........what a long night, not going to be able to make this trip, and i think Sunday i might be hitting up some "old school" carp fishing with Chris, but not too sure yet. Either way im off today and tomorrow so im squeezing some time in somewhere!

went back out today and blanked again.thats it for that place for me.3 trips 1 diaper.i guess i need to start going back to trusty joe pool.is there anywhere around here beside joe pool

I have been picking up some at Lake Arlington, (Bowman Springs Park.) Havent been out there in well over a week. Water is muddy where I have been fishing. Going again Tuesday morning, muddy water or not..

Ghostie is tough sometimes. I seems to have good luck there though.

Here is my fave catch from Ghostie, not my biggest but I like that it is a ghost and quite fat

does everyone use method or do some just use a heavy weight.whats the difference?whats the difference between boilies and maize?im just trying to figure some things out?

I am a method user 99% of the time. Pull up Tres Flores baits. You will see good examples of boilies. Maize is just prepared corn that has various flavors or additives.

I have yet to use any boilies, still a newbie there. Will likely do so this winter.

yeah ive been making maize lately but i have seen so many different ways to fish.i have seen a 2 oz weight with a method ball on the hair completely covering it.i have seen just a 2 oz weight and a hair rig with maize.same thing with boilies also.im just confused over so many different types.i know the basic one.feeder and then a swivel and hair rig.

how did it go today at ghostie anyway rick?? who showed up

Dad and I were there from 10AM till about 8:30PM. We only caught one each and they were both at the same time lol. His was a nice 15lb. ghost, though not nearly as fine a specimen as Jeff's was.

As I was unhooking that fish, I got a run that turned out to be a very strange fish. Rick and I both thought it was a bigmouth buff until I looked at it closely. It had the distinct high-backed buff shape and was short but very stout and around 10lb. or so. When I looked at it closer I realized it had the serrated dorsal spine and tiny tiny barbules, as in about 1 mm long, which are both sure signs of carp. I used to occasionally catch carp/goldfish hybrids in IL but I've never seen one as big as this one. I got some pics of it but I haven't pulled them off the camera yet. I'll post them when I do.

It was nice fishing with you and your pop and your boy Rick. I wouldn't give up on Ghostie just yet. It's not always on but it's worth it when it is and 90% of the carp there are double digits.

Also nice meeting you Stephen, hope to catch you on the bank again soon.

kinda looks like a cross between a sucker and a carp.

Yesterday was Halloween and the moon was nearly full--maybe you caught a were-carp.

Is that a crucian, or perhaps goebel?

I have fished Ghostie just once, last Thanksgiving, but I love the place. Caught my current PB there in about 3 hours of fishing. Amazing fishery for the size!

Hey Ben it was nice meeting you and your dad at ghostie, went out for a short 4 hour sitting on Sunday, no runs at all, will not give up though.

Hey Curt missed ya on Sunday

I wish I had been able to go. Son came up from Houston. Can't afford to miss out on the good weather. Gonna hit Lake Arlington Tuesday morning. I plan on baiting it a couple of times today.

wish I could join you but have to do the work thing, good luck out there.
