After spending some time lurking on here, I finally god motivated to go carp fishing. I went to andy Brown park in coppell, since I have caught carp there in the past by accident. I fished for 2.5 hours and managed several carp, and I had a great time. So i just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posts on here, the info really helped. Unfortunately, I am headed back to school so I wont get to fish again untill summer.

Unfortunately, I took no pics, mostly because I don't have a camera. The fish ranged in sized from about 2-5 pounds(1 about 2 lbs, 1 about 5 lbs, and two in between) I think. However, being my first time to fish for carp, my weight judgement could have been off. I wish I could fish out at school, but no car makes it tough. However, I might give it a try if I get motivated enough to walk one day. Anyone know of any areas near TCU, preferably within walking distance (20 minute walk)?
