Anyone here going to enter any of the TOKS tounaments? I have thought of trying some carp fishing locally but stocks are down after the KOI Virus went though here last year.

Got out for the second time this year for an hour and caught this guy. Can't wait to get out again now.

How to stay entertained when the Carp aren't biting!

Larysa of "Larysa Unleashed" and her fishing partner Ken Keene of TOKS struggle to keep their minds occupied during the Austin Team Championship Carp Tournament when the fishing is slow. What do you do when you aren't catching fish?

almost nice catch

today i was at a local lake working a 2inch tube on my trout rod trying for some panfish, when just before dark i hooked into what i guesstimate to be like a 6lb carp. after at least 10 minutes of fighting, it was at the net but i couldn't get it in and it broke off.

I'm really at a lost and need serious help

Hector — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:59:08 GMT

Hello,

I am new to the forum and I’ve been reading them but I’m still at a lost. I am in need of some serious help. This is my second season fishing and I’ve been targeting Carps since I began fishing this season around May. Nothing I have tried has worked. I fish the Hudson River in New York Sate. The current there is pretty strong. I read somewhere that it can reach three to five miles per hour. The Hudson is also a tidal river and it gets two high and two low tides a day. The surface also freezes during winter and some of the ice layers I’ve seen are over a foot thick. After the ice is gone the water is incredibly muddy. Actually, one can say it’s pure mud. There is also a lot of grass and water chestnuts, and this season the vegetation was at its worst compared to the last fishing season. Lures did not work out very well this time around and fishing with lures required high tide or a surface lure. You will loose your under the surface lures if used during low tide because of the amount large rocks.

By June the water is pretty clear. It is never clear enough to see beyond three or maybe four feet. During low tide I have been able to see the carp just in two feet of water and three to five feet right in front of me while I stand on my usual bolder. I have not seen lots of them, but two to three at a time. The smallest carp I’ve seen was probably about a foot and the largest size I’ve seen was probably about 25 inches. One time I even followed a carp with a two/three inch minnow plug. I put the lure right in front of it. I followed the carp as it swam. I even touched the side of its head and it’s belly with my lure and it paid no attention to my lure! That carp didn’t get scared, it didn’t run away, it did nothing! It kept on eating something I couldn’t see while my lure was right in front of it! That carp was relaxed and worry free.

Another time I put fruity carp bait from a company called “Eagle Claw.” The bait resembles an oily version of “play dough.” It smells so good that I’ve been tempted to try it myself! The carp ate all around my bait for a few minutes and then it swam away very slowly. It practically touched the bait with the side of its lips! I tried chumming with corn, but as soon as the corn hits the water the current will take the corn away before it even sinks two inches. I have also tried this corn bait from a company named “Magic Products” and nothing. Bread, marshmallows and earthworms have not work either.

My tackle includes 3ft of 20lbs clear leader with 30lbs moss green braid, #6 hook on a hair rig and I have also attached the bait directly on the hook, a three-way swivel, a 3oz bank sinker, and a 1oz sinker during slack tide. I have also tried a hair rig, fish-finder rig, dropper rig and a three-way rig. The fishing rods are 7ft, 8ft or 10ft.

Will really really really appreciate some help. I’m really at a lost. Any other suggestions???

Thank you for all your help.

In my avatar I have a carp I caught trolling a crankbait, it was hooked in it's mouth. The thing is I thought these things ate plants. I caught this on a medium action 7' Quantum Torsion spinning rod with 10# power pro line with a 10# Cabelas flourocarbon leader, on a Norman Fat Boy in Sunfish. The fight was long and fantastic, but I was disappointed when I was it was a carp, because the first thing I could see was it's deeply forked tail and I thought for sure it was a channel or blue. How rare is it for this type of carp to hit a crankbait? IDK if you'll be able to see this, but http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs331.ash1/28726_128267027200384_100000512617689_266194_2030783_n.jpg

Could you help me out

Bassman47312013 — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:26:15 GMT

Hey guys I’m new to the carp game. I have always been a bass fisherman. But this season I’m opening up to some new fish and carp is a big one. I live in south-east Michigan and there a lot of carp at the local metro parks. I have heard that they put up one hell of a fight. I know of using corn or a ball of bread. But other than that. I don’t know much about the ins and outs of carp fishing. Such as hook size, line, other baits and anything else I would need to know. Just wondering if anybody could give me some pointers.

Thanks

Bassman
