No I was going to throw out the reel it was damagedhope it wasn't an expensive outfit...
. Took me 4 hours to catch this fish. The problem using bread on the surface is I am trying to stay away from turtles ducklings Swans and geese. At one point I had 7 turtles going for the bread and i pull it away and it comes off the hook easily the bread. I don't think it was my pb but I caught a carp between 10 and 15 pounds was a great fight. I didn't have a net so I tried to swing it in but the hook came out as I was trying to get a picture. Going forward all kissena trips will be posted in here. And all saltwater trips will be in separate posts unless we use the same boat.
all day I fished the bottom and managed 2 Bullhead catfish. The key to catching Bullhead is casting it far from the wall . It's a challenge because the bread falls off the hook easily. Also The closer the bread is to the wall the more sunfish are stealing the offering. I am using big blackfish hooks to avoid the sunfish and in case a big Carp wants the bread. After the catfish bite stopped I started sight fishing for carp. I like to float bread on the surface but there has to be a Carp there otherwise it's a waste of time. The sunnies will steal the bait in a matter of seconds and Ducks and turtles will come to take it as well. So I saw a couple of carp jump and I tried to catch but they didn't want to eat so I left the area and I went to the other side of the lake and it definitely paid off. What I like to do is throw one piece of bread to see if any carp are around and if there is I get the bread and throw it out there and wait. I saw a carp eat the one piece I threw out there and it was 15 seconds or less my bait hit the water it was game on. What a fight I get the net. And it was a 10 to 15 lb carp floating bread on the surface. All my carp this year have been on the surface. Only one I had on the bottom was when I lost my outfit. I did a quick video and released it. I tried again same spot but I probably spooked the other fish that were there and left. I did see bubbles walking on the path and tried that but no luck so I called it a day. The blackfish hook I was using was bent in half from the carp.
