To be honest the water is pretty damn clear, sometimes you can see the fish. The striper is damn good. Stop being a fussy whiny female and grow some ****ing balls David ****ing Schwimmer

If you actually definitely want to catch a 10+ pounder, go to Okeechobee with a guide. My father in law absolutely killed them and caught multiple 10+ fish when he went. They were fishing with live golden shiners I believe (which isn't really my bag), but the grip and grins were priceless.

Have been thinking about a trip to Okeechobee. Not sure my pride can allow me to do the whole guide thing, though, unfortunately. Not saying it's a bad thing, or whatever. I really want that 10 pounder, I just want it to come more naturally without any assistance. |

I hired a guide when I was in New Mexico. It was well worth it, even though I didn't need him. He corrected some flaws in my cast and he gave me some pointers that I had never previously run across.

So, here is how that carp is prepared for frying. And YES, it is that exact same type of common carp. I've caught just about every species of freshwater fish swimming. I love bluegill, walleye, and crappie as table fare. Having said that, common carp is every bit as good. They have the same diet as bluegill for the most part, in insects and invertebrates, so the flesh is similar, but you can catch one and have a nice fish fry instead of having to catch 30.
I don't fish for carp at all, but if you catch one, by all means, try scoring and frying it, or try brining and smoking it. I hate when people spout out opinions about something that they've never even tried. |

People mistake drum when they catch them thinking they are a carp species. Fillet them out no bones and nice white fillets. Fun to catch too

The red ear sunfish in my pond are getting to be pretty nice size. There are now bass controlling the smaller ones, so I'm releasing these to get bigger. That's my son. He's a fishin machine
