Water is really clear the Marina is cool if you go to the park try to get on the wind blown side of the point.

Corn is a good universal choice. Bait the area with some of the corn if you can. You might also want to try tighly packed bread balls. If you use the bread, leave the hook point exposed. You can dip the breadball in a highly concentrated mixure of kool aid. I prefer strawberry or other fruity flavors. Good luck and let us know how you do. We get few reports from there.

Use something more like size 6 or 4; carp grow big but have small, soft mouths. Make the the sharpest hooks you can find.

Well, I saw some good signs of fish, the fishing dock at the marina (over by the dam) had a fiew guys carpin. One of them apperantly caught a decent size fish, but I didn't see it. As for my self, I went for nill on the carp. But with the cat fish, I washed the skunk off and my buddy andi went 8 each. From 4lbs to 8lbs. Were caught on shrimp or large minnows.

I caught a 17 pound and a 9 pound blue cat last week on maize (re-hydrated deer corn, with flavor)

Its crazy that a fish that big with a large mouth can eat such a small bait with a tiny no. 6 hook.
