This lake is right next to my house. I launched my Pond Prowler at 8 am and began fishing for carp using homemade corn based bait. The water was really murky, I couldn't see past 1 foot. There was no activity until 11 am when I got my first hookup. It felt like a 10 lb carp, I fought it for about 5 minutes, too bad it got away because my landing net wasn't big enough :Shocked:. Went to Big 5 and got a bigger net. At 12 am got another hookup, but right before I netted it, the fish got unhooked. By 12 am water temperature was 58, and there was no wind (even though the weather report said 20 mph). Got another hookup, this time I pulled too hard and the line broke (I was using 10 lb test, which should have been plenty enough, but the carp in this lake is strong).
Finally landed my first carp at 1 pm, this one was really weak and didn't put up much of a fight. It was an 8 lbs common carp. That was the last hookup, after that there was just really weak bite and I stopped fishing at 3 pm. By the way, this is my first post, hi everyone!
