badchade TFF Team Angler Registered: 07/01/04 Posts: 3182 Loc: Arlington, Texas	1. Soft Maize/Sweetcorn 2. Basic Hair Rig with a Sliding Sinker. 3. Bait with Dry Cracked Corn about 10' from shore overnight. I've hooked them as close as 2'- I saw 5 big shadows coming down the bank, and I rolled off my chair, grabbed a rod with corn on it and set it in their path. The explosion when he realized he was hooked was amazing. EC- Now my favorite place is Emma Long; although it was Lake Kiowa when I had access.

RussOSU87 Green Horn Registered: 04/07/09 Posts: 9 Loc: Carthage, Texas	My son's first grass carp was at Martin Creek. He was using a light rod with a spinning reel and 6 pound test. It weighed 17 pounds and took him over 15 minutes to get in. He might have been a little too cautious but they are strong and like to take a lot of line off your reel. _________________________ Proud father of a United States Marine.
