gonefishin Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Those are some nice ones. Looks kinda hi tech for my idea of fishing though. I know a couple of places where there are some really huge carp if you are interested. Bud I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

MoCarp Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 MOCarp, have you ever used a fly rod for those beasts? Would love to hook up with you sometime and do some flying for big carp I have yet to try on a fly--That would be something I want to try--prolly need salmon sized gear a 9 wt? I know a spot close to forsyth that I can get them in--shallow--wadeable and very clear--perfect for flyfishing for them once this year in the heat of the day saw several cruising and picking up the little bits of chum--I would think it would be like bonefishing--shoot me a PM and we can hook up and try MO MONKEYS? what monkeys?

Wayne SW/MO Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Whats the purpose of the tripod set up, as opposed to a rod holder of some kind? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoCarp Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Whats the purpose of the tripod set up, as opposed to a rod holder of some kind? good question-- I use tripods because of rocks, use 2 of them because they won't feel tension with the rods horizontal---- I can un-screw the legs and use just the bank sticks--but in lots of places--no way to get them into the ground I use the same set up trout fishing --but I use 9 foot ultra lights and okuma 15 baitrunners in stead of a bolt rigs I use a running rig with a stop and hair rig a small spring and use powerbait--hooks them in the lips and will out fish most regular bait set ups for trout MONKEYS? what monkeys?

MoCarp Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Here is a link on how to tie a hair rig--for trout use apropreate sized hooks and add a spring to the hair http://www.carpanglersgroup.com/hairandboltrig.html MONKEYS? what monkeys?

Members macfish Posted January 29, 2006 Members Share Posted January 29, 2006 macfish here. Well, now I 'm here I guess the party can get started! Just kidding. MoCarp, great to see another friend here, thanks for the heads up on the site. I already posted a bit of info on Mark Twain Lake. Great to see you sharing a bit about carp fishing as well and the trout. I never did get one while I was there with you. It wasn't really what I was after at the time but I've only caught one in all the times I've been trout fishing and of course that was with a fly rod which means it's a bit more difficult to catch them then, at least it seems that way to me. The one I did get was only a parr about 5 inches long. MoCarp, I forgot to tell you that I did get my new gear. I've gone Euro! I got three 12' 3.00 TC spinning rods which are an inexpensive French brand called Geologic. One is called a Get Carp 300 and the others are called Carpe Big Runner. I also got two Shimano 3500 Baitrunners reels. They are a sweet combination! I also got a very large salmon net that's almost as big as your and Jim's carp nets (the frame) and the handle is 1 1/4" aluminum, 6' long so 7 1/2' length. I got it for $30 which must be a pretty darn good deal because I saw the same net on a website for about $75. Only thing I don't have yet is a bank sticks/rod pod setup. Got to run. Talk to you later. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
