not ideal lol

yeah but for fun wise they are incredibly abundant and hit throughout the entire day. all ranged in size from 4" - 6". but don't get me wrong there are some huge ones in there, as i watched a few of the asians pull some out in the 12"+ range but they don't get the constant hits like i did. i wasn't crazy about waiting all day for the odd big fish i'd rather catch lots of small guys in the whole day

im the opposite lol at home I go for 72 hours on occasion and catch maybe 1 or 2 but 20lb or more my local water holds 50lb + sized fish lol but I really want a nice one hear

i hear ya i do too but they are too new of a species for me, don't know much about them. been targeting them a bit to try and figure them out, so far i am good a the little ones but not the big ones even though my buddy has been averaging some decent size ones in the 12' + range

try using carp specific bait like boilies throw about 20 freebies on the spot you want to fish put your rig on top and wait lol if you google hair rigs that's the simplest rig for them, if its hot they will also take bread floating on the surface.

i wish i could do that but here that would be considered chumming and is not allowed here
