went camping at lake san antonio for memorial day sunday through tuesday. this was mainly a camping/wakeboarding trip but of course i brought all my gear. first day threw plastic worms and numerous crankbaits off the north campground for nothing. at night started baiting it up with anchovies and nightcrawlers hoping for a cat or striper to no avail. the next morning say a lot of jumpers and ran to the lake with my lucky craft popper with no success. finally got a good look at one of the jumpers and it ended up being a 10+ pound carp. it was a let down and i stopped fishing to go eat breakfast. while wakeboarding i used many different deep water tactics while we were changing boarders. everything from a whitebucktail to a deep water rainbow trout colored jig for nada. a lot of large boiling carp. i have never seen carp so aggressive going a couple feet out of the water. some parts of the lake looked like pea soup with the algae bloom. any pointers on this lake???????

It sounds like fun to me. At least you caught a 10 + lb carp. Thanks for the report!
