Carp have been active this spring both in the hill country and Southcentral Texas. Fished some creeks and rivers and caught a bunch. Rigged up two poles with some light sinkers and small hooks. Chummed the waters with cream corn, can corn, and canned Hominy. Both Corn and Hominy was used for bait. Seemed the best bite was between sunup till around 11am. I also took advantage of the overcast days. Most of the fish were released but a couple were kept for the wife to prepare for some upcoming dinners. Catching some of the BEST Fighters! It just don't get any better! fish

Nice work sir. I really enjoy catching carp. Now if we could just get you guys some rain things should improve all over.

Thanks Curt0407 for the reply. cheers Yes Sir we can use a lot of RAIN. So far late winter and the early spring we have had some nice showers, but not enough. The water bodies and areas I fish have improved, but need a lot more water. Hopefully we get a lot more before the summer sets in. thumb

I know that was a lot of fun. These cool, rainy, overcast spring days are a great time to go chase those guys.

I wish more people would actually harvest carp and eat them.
