 Fishing For Carp: Poor Man's Bonefish
Posted by MCosta528 on Friday, March 14 @ 07:39:47 PDT
When I was bored one day I decided to fish the little stream/pond behind my house. One day I was fishing and people started feeding ducks next to me. I got a birds nest in my spinning reel and the rooster tail I was fishing with sunk to the bottom. When I untangled the line I lifted up only to think I was stuck, then out of nowhere my ultralight rod began to shutter and a huge fish took the line off my reel. Anyway I mangaged to land the fish only to discover it was a 6lb carp, pretty fun to catch on 4lb test. Anyway I noticed when the people feed the ducks at certain spots, the bread that sinks to the bottom serves as carp food. I went with my fly rod and put some bread on the hook and the carp loved it! I later got creative and tied some glow bug yarn to the hook to make it look like a piece of bread. They loved this as well. I just want to post this out there, becasue people may have the oppurtunity to catch some pretty big fish wherever you see common duck feeding ponds. The carp have a conditioned response to anything that may look like bread that sinks to the bottom in these duck feeding sites. Give it a shot and you'll be suprised at the large sized fish you may catch when you don't get the chance to go out of state.
If anyone has an experience with this please post your comments, I'm ready to get my 8wt for some 10lb fish anyday. People are even calling these carp the poor man's bonefish. Don't be fooled, tricking these guys can be hard and you may have to chum with bread to get a hit! Give me your posts and responses dedicated to THE POOR MAN"S BONEFISH if your up to the task!

I saw a video where they were eating crab apples that were falling off the tree. The gus did the same thing you did. came up with a fly that looked like a crab apple and where crushing them. Go get that big dog.
