Don't want to over-play this subject but man, I ain't never seen carpin' like it was today. One of those days when you run the risk of shootin' your own foot cuz the carp are so crazy. I shot until my arm was sore today and could still be there shootin' if it hadn't started raining.
Carp are bigger... wonder if the culling by the removal program is leaving more grub for the leftovers?? All of them I shot today were pigs and it was non-stop shooting.
I went back to the south side of the launch channel and the carp were almost up on the bank. Stepped off into the frags on my way out to relieve some bladder pressure. Just got things going when a hen mallard took issue with being peed on and flew up with a roar. Haven't had a flow like that for years.
Carp were active everywhere and I never had to moved more that 10 yards to have non-stop shooting. I lugged 10 carp back to my truck and left just as the rain started. Noticed all of the fields along Spring Creek for a mile up stream had carp thrashing in them.
If you like a good carp shoot now is the time.
