Spent a few days at my lakehouse this week and the carp were everywhere! I have no idea how many I caught but I do know it was a blast! Most of my fish were caught sight fishing with bread until Angler Josh came down and showed me some fun new stuff! Also a couple first for me!

Most of the carp were babies but I did manage this 19 lber and again it was on 4lb test along with all the others I caught.


Also not only did I manage to get my first buff on rod and reel but also one on the fly!



And the one I caught on my spinning gear and yes 4lb test lol

action shot


Weds mornin while I was casing for bass I stumbled up on this dude and had nothing to even try to catch him with so I just took a pic and sent it to josh.



After that my goal was to catch that dude! And a little before dark we were watching some buffs feed toward josh's line when his line tightened up and went down the drop off. We thought he had a buff for a sec until we saw the orange and thought it was just another small carp like all the others until it sufaced and we saw that it was the mirror I had seen earlier!Awesome fish!



I also caught my first carp on the fly a little before dark

Sweet fish dude! Congrats on the 19, and on you guys actually catching the same mirror you saw! Nice work on the buff on the fly, too!

What lake is that, very pretty looking area.

Good luck! Do you have a certified scale? I just got mine certified through Bastrop Scales. It was very easy. Its good for one year. $25

That sure is a beautiful looking spot you have there.

Nice job, that's an awesome mirror!

If you'd like a closer place to get your scale certified contact the TPWD office in Pottsboro on Lake Texoma. I just got my boga certified there.
