Carp skin backing interest, making a list..(Pics for madcrow added)
gstoneberg:
I put some of those sterile grass carp in my pond in Nebraska and before we left those puppies looked like submarines. And, no weeds could grow in the pond either. :( When the cottonwood seeds were falling on the water I was able to kill a couple with the rifle off the deck. Too bad I didn't realize you could back a bow with them back then. I have a picture of one of them that went 35lbs.

Mullet- the original white wonder bread is one of the types of "dough" baits I use, the small bait-holder treble hooks(with the little spring on the main shank) work great. I wet the bread slightly then squeeze it onto the hook. A size 10 bait holder treble should be about the right size for a carp that big. It's the release of the starch into the water as the bait sits there that brings them in. I have even heard of some guys taking a potato sack and filling it with boiled potatoes that have been cut up- they tie it to a rope with a weight in it and then toss it out into the water as a sort of "chum bag" and then cast their baited poles into the general area of the bag. Good ol' corn is a good bait too, especially when sight fishing.
TurtleCreek:
Headin' out within an hour or two. Just spooled up, packaged some skins, and I will be out to get some "pucker mouth trout" for Mullet and Mad Crow.
Brother Dan:
Is it too late to get on the list, I appreciate it. B Dan
TurtleCreek:
