[cool][#0000ff]I have caught several carp down there on chub minnows. Carp are omnivorous. They eat meat too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you were getting tangled in the sticks you were probably fishing too shallow for the bigger cats. They often go out into 8-10 feet of water during the day when it gets real warm. I have had days down there this time of year when the fish were biting in 5 feet of water at daybreak and no shallower than 7 feet by afternoon. But...they often come in very shallow after dark. I think we will see some good action next week...unless you "sore-lipped" all the fish or wised up the rest of them.[/#0000ff]
