Myself,Clayton-Wildman of the Navidad,and Rick-Catyakker are still catching some very nice Spring Carp. The bite has really slowed down due the spawn. Here are a few resent catches from the Guadalupe River and the Cibolo Creek.


HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Rick on his pending Cibolo Creek Record Common Carp. The fish was 31.5" Long with a 20" Girth. The certified weight of the fish was 14.60 Lbs. Paper work completed and will be sent to the Texas Parks&Wildlife for their review! Catching some "SUPER FISH" with friends. It just don't get any better!




Myself and Clayton with a couple of nice ones from the Guadalupe River!

Congrats guys! That's some nice fish there

Thanks Leo for the reply! Love that carp fight!

Nice catches guys! Seems you're always setting records!

Thanks TXmulti-Species for the reply. I do catch a few but lately my friends seem to be getting most of the records. Good times in the outdoors for sure!

thrashin em congrats Rick on your record I had a great time watching you fight that fish

Side note love those Guadalupe river carp on ultralight

Thanks all. We have been after a record Carp on Cibolo Creek for nearly a month with nada. Very frustrating as we could see them working but no takers. Maybe they will start to to get more in a feeding mood now....or maybe not. I recon that is why they call it fishing instead of harvesting.

I always find trying out a few different baits can produce bites. I bring at least 3 types of bait with me every time I head out, and always take a look on the bank for anything I could thread onto my hair rig. It's crazy, sometimes I'll have fished corn for an hour or two with no bites, then I'll give in and put some bread or berries on the hook and get a bite within 5 minutes.

Always GREAT TIMES fishing with Clayton and Rick. A lot of GREAT memories have been made with a lot more to follow. Rick we all worked hard at several spots on the Cibolo for a couple of months trying to break that record. Glad you got it. It was awesome seeing that hook set on that run! It was also one "SUPER" fight!


TXMulti-Species: We had three types of baits that we were using. It was the cornflakes that did the trick. We chumed the area with regular can corn. Kept it pretty simple! Great times on the creek for sure.

Great post Chuck and congrats to Catyakker.

Thanks Yesenia!

Great fish guys

Thanks Pot licker and J-Moe. J-Moe, I would have used my fly rod on that Carp except the water was too deep to wade and the bank was thick with trees.

Thanks Jamie for the reply. Would love to see you and Rick fighting a carp on the fly.

Great creek Carp! Congratulations Catyakker! What type of bait did you catch it on? Also were you chumming? Again congratulations on the record fish.
