I had a great time. Thanks to Brian, Finley and Donovan for talking with me and teaching me a bit about carp fishing. There were quite a few catfish caught, but some carp and buffalo were reeled in as well. I ended up with a channel catfish and my first smallmouth buffalo, which tipped the scales at 14 pounds, 4 ounces. Still looking for my first carp but that is just a good reason to get back out on the water sooner rather than later.

Thanks for coming out Phil! Glad to help you get on your first Buff

Had a blast Saturday meeting all the new faces! Slow but steady action allowed us to get a few newbies on some fish, unfortunately the fish didn't really start to move in until after 3PM.



One upside to slower action - we had plenty of time to familiarize everyone with the whats, hows, and whys of Carp fishing!



Ricky with the first Buffalo of the day!

Making and breaking PBs! This dark beauty ran just a bit heavier than the last at 18lbs 8oz.


Thanks to all for coming out - I wish the fish were a bit more active in the morning when everyone was there but that's fishing for ya! Here's hoping that our next event is even bigger with more and bigger fish

nicely done congrats on these beauties keep up the great work
