    Default 40 mins at santa fe dam

    Got there at 3:30 we just put 2 lines in the water both with a carp recipe my brother told me about. And then I got in the car because it was starting to rain. 10 mins later I went to check the rods and waited a bit to see if one whould bite.and about 10 seconds later the bobber starts jumping up and down! I get the rod fell the bite and set the hook but it did not hook =( so I missed that one. After throwing that one back in I go back in the car. I wait about another ten minutes and then something tells me to go check the rods. So I get out of the car and start walking to the rods half way there rod goes BENDO! I run to it but I was too late again!! =( so we left because I had a dentist appointment. Well at least they bit =) now I know the bait does work =)

    Next time, try flylining the bait. Don't use any weights, not even splitshots. Once carp feel the weight, they just spit it out. Without, the carp will take it and run.

    I remember last summer I was fishing for carp and I saw my line move just a little bit. I didn't set the hook because I thought it was just a bluegill. Well, about thirty minutes later when I went to reel in my line, the bait fought back! Fish on!
