Might not be monsters like you guys are catching, but she's pretty excited to show off her contribution to removing this invasive species from our waterways.

Caught using the tiniest breadball setup I could come up with for her.

So I booked a few days away in the sunshine with my young son, a break from the usual rain and misery in Ireland. We're only fishing for carp since last year. Prior to that it was mostly trout and the occasional pike. Our previous PBs were around the 6kg mark. I think we improved that a little bit 😜

His first fish of the session was 26.4kg, and he had another at 22.75. Unbelievably proud of how he played those brutes. He's a small kid, he couldn't even lift some of them for the photos, but he fought like a pro for up to 30 minutes at one stage to get them in. My best was 21.7 and we had several more in the 15-18kg bracket. 17 fish in 2 days, smallest was 10kg.

Could I just put it on a hook and chum the water with the same stuff because I only had enough ingredients for 1 batch and I ruined it

It has this mirror like scales on top.

Terrible photos camera wouldn’t focus but just had mini basil out at 22lb comes from the basil trio , basil , little basil & mini basil - loving the yatley carp

Haven't got into a carp since 7/26 but my luck changed today. The new boilie basemix I tinkered with worked out really well. After 5 hours in the water they're still hard and softening up on the outer layer a bit. They should be able to left alone for 12 hours with no worry which is about as long I normally fish.

At any rate, after suffering through a few channel cats mid morning and late afternoon the evening belong to the carp. Around 6pm I landed this guy on the curry boilies, a 28lb 5oz lazy fighter until I had to net him. Then he decided to be agressive. The last 20 feet took the longest.

Then about 40 minutes later the same rod went off again. This fish ran more, fought harder, and I thought it was larger. Unlike carp #1 this guy want to get into the net fast. He was also a bit smaller but close in weight. This one was 25lbs 3oz

Both carp came on the curry boilies I made earlier this week. Used a mono D-Rig and just fished a single bait and then used a PVA stringer w/ 3 boilies. I did throw out a bed of boilies in the morning and then some more around 4pm. Just fished in or near that bed.

Topped off the boilie bed before I left and threw out more method balls for the other rod for tomorrow so we'll see if I can increase the carp numbers or size tomorrow.

I saw at least 20 dead carp carcasses and one that was barely alive. Wabash River in Indiana

I’m considering targeting carp and I’m wondering if it’s even worth it in this location. I’m thinking if I threw some corn it might work

Fuckass channel cats keep eating my corn, i have yet to even hook a carp yet and ive caught 6 channel cats, what should i do?

There were a bunch of carp sucking the surface and I dropped a tiny crankbait right in front of him and he slurped it

Made a 500gr batch Monday night and they've been drying for 4 days now. Went curry again but ran out of Soya Flour so subbed in Chick Pea flour instead. Think I'm sticking with this since I can get it locally easily unlike the Soya Flour. Boilies are a bit harder as well and still came out of the sausage gun easy and rolled really nice. Have a three day weekend so will test these out on Saturday and Sunday as I tweaked the recipe a bit but they should be fine. Figure I'd post it up if anyone wanted to give them a go.

My other versions of this had a bit more Semo/Soya in the basemix and I upped some pf the other ingredients in its place.

100 grams Semolina Flour

100 grams Chick Pea Flour

75 grams Corn Meal

40 grams Whole Milk Powder

50 grams Molasses Pellets

50 grams Flock Raiser (non medicated)

50 grams Sunflower Seed Hearts

20 grams Curry Powder

5 grams Garam Masala

5 grams Chili Powder

5 grams Red Pepper Flakes

10ml of Olive Oil to 3-5 eggs depending on your size, along with some yellow food coloring.

Canned

I fished a lot on this lake and I caught at least a hundred smaller fish but not a single carp that was over 1kg. I know that this lake holds bigger carp I even seen others catch them but I didn’t manage to catch a larger one. There are no obvious places to cast like vegetation or overhanging trees.

Or a other brand?

10 year old Ugly Stick Elite Combo with 10LB Berkeley Mono, Temu Circle Hook, 5 pieces of Green Giant Niblets Corn. Best time I ever had. My son (9) took the photos. He absolutely lost his mind when I hooked into this UNIT. I’m 6’ 3” and I didn’t weigh this one.

New pb, hope you guys enjoy

Good morning, When you repair a delkim, what do you put to plug the holes in the back? THANKS
