The Tale of Two Carp...

I went out to the normal urban haunt to chase some carp this morning. As some have reported a lot of the ponds are very blue from being treated for algae etc, the fish activity was way down. I quickly made the rounds through my usual ponds with nary a fish even making an apearance and decided to see if some of the ponds I haven't fished in a few months were as blue.

Little Friday Morning Urban Action

Hit a little urban before starting work this morning. Friend and I headed out to a favorite spot, there we hooked up with a buddy and started hitting the ponds...

Urban Bass

At the same set of ponds from the "Carp Ahoy!" entry, there is a healthy population of Largemouth Bass. Having seen photos posted of 6lb + fish, I was eager to give it a shot between Carp when we were there.

Crystal's First Carp!

So after showing my wife the pics from yesterday's "before work" excursion, when I asked her the same question I ask every week (Do you wanna go fishing with me tomorrow?) she said yeah, I want to catch a carp, Richeous!

Urban Quadfecta

Hit a favorite local urban spot this Memorial weekend to see what I could catch. I got there about 6:30am and started working some of the upper ponds. Lots of carp were tailing in the shallows and I saw some fish I've never had the opportunity to pursue, Tilapia...

Carp Ahoy!

Hit some local urban ponds today with Ben from Azwanderings.com and his buddy Justin for a couple hours this morning. The target... Carp!

We had gone out the previous weekend with another friend and saw a ton of carp, but just couldn't quite figure out the puzzle and get them to take the fly. Ben got into one for a short bit that weekend, and it started the desire.
