I was at the lake last weekend and the carp were rolling big time. I'm assuming their spawning?

If they are chasing each other around and the water is flying and they are making a huge commotion, then they are spawning. I have not yet seen that here this spring but soon, I'm sure. Then it gets wild.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Nice fish Doug. You smoke em?
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Nice fish Doug. You smoke em? I smoked a couple of small ones a few years ago and found them edible but I prefer other fish such as whitefish or tullibee. I gave some to friends last year since they wanted to try some and they definitely do not want more this year. I am still looking for takers. I am freezing these whole and may wind up using them for bait or feeding birds and critters next winter.

I saw some giants cruising around the pier last weekend, they come up in the shallows to spawn. I need to get my bowfishing rig out and shoot some and freeze them and then chop them in chunks after they are frozen with an axe and then freeze the chunks in small freezer bags for bait next fall and winter.

Went out of my place for about 30 minutes this afternoon and while I only saw two carp and got a shot at one, it turned out to be a pretty big one. Anyone want any? That one would have given Trap Stick Man quite a tussle. Way back, when I was a youngster I used to catch a lot of carp and give them to an old timer by the name of Clyde Burwell. He had a handsome daughter named Ida Mae but that has nothing to do with carp. Clyde could smoke those guys better than anyone I ever knew, they were great. Wish I would have taken time to learn his method. I suppose between my catching and Clyde smoking we fed our tiny little town for most of the year. Is it always sunny and calm like that in Minnysoota? Zim

We have had a few nice days these past two weeks. Just cleared up this afternoon after a cloudy morning. These are the days when I can see better with my polarized lenses and this is why you see my photos on nice days. Yes, I had a long battle on the hand line with this one. Having a sharp gaff is sure handy when it comes to getting a big one in the boat.
