please please!!!! Don't post pictures like that! People are eating!
It doesn't take much of a challenge to catch any fish that are "swimming all over the place". Kinda like Bluegill.
Let's see you pull one out of Clackamette Lake :lol:, being that they aren't intelligent, in fact, let's see you pull one out of most every body of water, I know of ponds and lakes that take serious knowledge to even know they hold Carp, let alone get one to sniff your bait.
Lol, obviously I was just being called into this thread. Yesterday was my day, 7 Carp and 3 Ducks -(the most unintelligent/greedy creature to exist, and count as fair game if they eat my bait.)
Fishing for hatchery fish isn't so intelligent, it's like hunting in a field stocked with farm raised Deer :wall: :lol:.
A couple of gentlemen from Europe used to come around this site, full of knowledge and tactics that people from this site would think are from the future, Rigs that hook the fish before it even gets a chance to exhale the bait, Rigs that would slay the Trout in the Hatchery puddles. But people drove them out of the forum by showing more hate than respect for the fish, and it's pretty obvious no one really has any interest in these fish. Why do you think I have never posted a report on this site? I would never give up the location of where I caught my 35lb PB, or even where I caught seven 8-10lbers yesterday, or especially the rigs and methods I use, otherwise, I would probably see fish laying on shore in the areas I fish. I've pulled Steelhead between 24-35 inches on shore like they were Bass, using 10lb Spiderwire Stealth braid, I use 15lb PowerPro for Leader and 50lb PowerPro for Mainline (many purposes for this ''ocean setup'') for Carp and never even pulled a 7lber up like a log, a Steelhead would be nothing more than a stick on this setup.
Nice fish John, I saw your report on the ''other forum'', nice job.
If Carp are so unintelligent, then let's see those who think so go out and hook a few on a fly rod (in the mouth), until I see a report with a fly hanging out of their mouth, your the unintelligent ones for having that thought run across your mind, either ignorant or hardheaded (Ignorance is the state of being unaware, remember that), since obviously you don't understand the fish, or your too hardheaded (stubborn) to take the time to understand them. One single body of water will not allow you to fully understand these fish.
I am only 19 years old, I don't understand how some people decades older have been fishing their whole life and don't even have as much of a clue as I do, most of the knowledge I have learned in the past couple of years. By having that said, I am not saying I am better than anyone, but stating that maybe they should move on and try something different once in a while, maybe you'll learn a thing or two about something different.
they are everyday fish cause they belong here.........Carp are a beautiful fish to me, Trout and everything else are just your everyday fish, nothing new about them, everyone goes for them. Trout are very simple fish, and I like a challenge, but if I wasn't Carp fishing, I would be catching myself some rainbow dinner from the S. Santiam.
Well guess what, Carp are here, and here to stay. ODFW takes no action to eradicate them, so obviously they aren't too harmful.
Obviously my interest in one fish makes me not welcome, considering Carp fishing is Alabama fishing, I don't go poking my head into your steelhead threads and start talking crap.
Everyone just loves to talk as much crap about these fish as they can, and most of the time it's obviously directed towards me, being that I am 1 of 2 Carp fishermen who still frequent this board. Just because you see an oppurtunity to talk crap about someones interest, doesn't mean you have to take it. This applies to a lot of people.
I refuse to post a report on this entire forum, it would turn out like every other thread involving Carp.
