Balboa lake goldfish
I went around the corner to Balboa lake today for a couple of hours in search of some carp. I was soaking some corny dough and was not disappointed.
Tackle was a size 2000 reel with 4# on a 7'6" rod and a size 12treble with some home made dough.
HOOK-UPP...
The release back into the drink...
They're some pretty hard fighters with long runs and fun on light line.
Till next fish....
Nice golden bass....carp are fun on #2 & #4lb test...all day long.

Carp are really ugly, but I bet they fight pretty well. Looks like a nice one.
Awesome report, love the pics, and a beautiful fish too.
Do you use a bite indicator?
Bolboa Carp
DAAYM!! Congratulations man!!! That is a huge carp for bolboa, I tried that pool several times for a carp, but was only able to catch small tilapias. Great catch!!! How do u make the drought balls for carp?
They are alot of fun, and powerful fish too.Originally Posted by fishbones
Its the best fight in the area for a pocket full of dough!
They hit like freight trains and put on a good show on. Its alot of fun on light tackle.
Thank you! I post up next to the rod and loosen the drag so that the fish takes the bait and makes a good long 1st run.
The tilapia are fun too! For the dough, I took the basics and kinda ran with it. You can use corn, and bread too.
Nice fish , grats , they sure fight better than Lame Mouth Bass
damn how long was the fight?
lol, thats for sure!
I would guesstimate around 8-10 min.
