I start my fishing session today as early as I could. I came down there at 9:30AM and set up all my rods and reels. It did not take that long as usual. Here is my rods and reels again, along with some bells on the top

This was an amazing day, full of sun and no wind at all. Lots of people rowing boats around where I was fishing. It start up very slow, I had to wait for about an hour and a half before I got my first hit. That was a very good lucking common.

About 15 minutes later, got me another hit, another common, not as big as the first one, but it count smile


It seemed like fish are waiting for me down there, right after I released this fish

I got another run, and another common as usual.


They seemed to understand that the food they were enjoying were deathly food smile ==> No more bite for about two hours or so.
It was good because I have sometimes talking to many nice people over here. They came and see what I used for bait, and what to know for carp fishing. I told them that I just started carping about 4 months and I don't know much about it, but I was willing to tell them what I have learned about Carp Fishing, and they seemed enjoy it.

While I was doing my own "presentation", there was a HUGE hit, the fish almost took my pole to the water, I was fast enough not to let it happen. I tried to reel it in, and it was heavy. There it is, a 56lbs buffalo


Some more pics about 56lbs buffalo

Make sure you turn your drag down or you're sure to lose a rod!

Great catches!
Lady Bird is a special lake!

I did not come here to fish actually. I came to visit my friend who is a Catholic Priest. However, rods and reels are with me all the time.... I have had a great time here in Austin so far.... Could not expect more than that.

Thank you for your comment.

Peace.
