Been a while

since I have fished.

Went to the club today for some carp/bass/pike fishing.  Did some carp, bass, but no pike fishing and had a ball.

The creek is in really good shape.  Did see some trout swimming around, and for close to the month of August I was very pleased.

I hooked 8 carp and landed 4.  3x tippet is too light for these monsters.  The 4 I landed took at least 20 minutes apiece, including running up and down the creek, lifting logs they swam under, yanking out weeds, etc.  A film crew would have had a ball following me today.  All hook ups were panic city.

Also landed a few smallies.  Most were small, but the one pictured is a beaut.  The Yellow Creek Trout Club is a true year round fishery.  Love those carp for sure…way tougher to catch and land than a trout any day of the week.smalliecarp
