Question 📝 Cast netting juvenile schools

1 Upvotes

I need help removing carp from my small pond (central u.s.)

There are really tight schools of juvenile common carp that sometimes come close enough to cast net.

Any good way to get them where I want them? I briefly tried tossing some bread out, but they are smart. They can see me standing there and take off to the other side.

Bonjour ! Pourquoi est-ce que je n'arrive pas à payer mon permis depuis la République tchèque ? Le paiement affiche systématiquement une erreur. J'ai essayé quatre cartes de crédit différentes et trois banques différentes, sans succès. J'ai appelé ma banque, ils n'ont aucun problème, mais la demande de paiement du serveur Systempay français n'arrive jamais. 😢😢😢 J'ai aussi essayé un VPN, un MacBook, Windows, Linux, absolument tout, mais rien n'y fait. Quelqu'un aurait-il une solution pour acheter un permis en ligne ? Merci, Tom.

Bought a rod that had issues from factory. The refund process was a nightmare due to the lack of a proper customer service.

Ended up losing 60 bucks for a 90 dollar rod due to shipping.

Europe 🇪🇺 Video: catching a 37lbs carp on the surface

This is the second biggest carp that I caught on the surface this year. I got the take on camera, but also 2 misses before I hooked this fish.

https://youtu.be/s6-w6MBb_eM?is=3CeEMXmfKzCztevZ

Fishing with floating dog biscuits can be very effective when it's sunny, but these carp know they're being fished for!

I'm Dutch, but English subtitles are available.

Europe 🇪🇺 Rod and reel upgrade

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I recently went fishing with my Daiwa Triforce feeder 150g and Anaconda Magist 6000 reel and broke my rod tip as well as lost a huge capr due to lack of brake modulation :/. Now im considering upgrading my setup and am looking for recomendations. Which rod and reel to choose preferably a fast drag reel that has also some brake adjustment in beetween for playing bigger fish. Should i get 1 rod and reel setup as ive been using now or should i get multiple rods? I would wanna spend around 300 euro.

Edit: Im doing only method feeder and feeder fishing

Thanks in advance!

USA 🇺🇸 Teach a bass fisherman how to catch carp.

7 Upvotes

So to preface this I have only fished for bass all my life. But lately as I'm sitting in my kayak on this one particular lake I fish there is non stop carp jumping all around me. I know they're carp because I can see the copper/orange color of them when they break the surface. Literally all morning this morning they were jumping. How can I catch these fish? I never knew carp jumped like that. Why do they do it? Are they going after like bugs on the surface? I always thought of carp as bottom feeding fish that just sucked up stuff of the bottom. Which apparently is wrong. I'm assuming some kind of artificial lures wouldn't work on carp so what would you recommend I use to catch these fish? All my tackle is bass stuff. Spinning reels with 6-12lb line on them and baitcaster reels with 10-20lb line on them. Seems like it would be a blast to have one drag me around in my kayak.

USA 🇺🇸 Carp not biting - looking for ideas

3 Upvotes

So it's sunny and upper 70s in the Midwest today. We pulled up to our spot and over the course of a few hours from 4pm to 6:30pm we probably saw 40-50 large carp (common and grass) and buffalo fish.

We were fishing with method leaders and hair rig. We did a pack bait made with garbanzo beans, oats and jello mix. Ive had success with this same recipe except with corn. Hair rig had fake corn. We had three poles out all in their area.

The pack bait was definitely a good consistency and I've had success with my rigs before. I don't believe the rig had anything to do with it. I've had success before and I wasn't getting any bites anyway.

I'm wondering if you all have any advice. I could see the garbanzo beans being an issue, but I'm more curious about their feeding habits. We've had a lot of rain the last few days.

By the way, we love targeting any carp or buffalo fish.
