Carp skin backing interest, making a list..(Pics for madcrow added)
TurtleCreek:
Mostly night crawlers.... But when they are stacked in the shallows, I will use a brightly colored dough bait and I will sight fish em'. Funny thing happened last week, I got out at sunrise to catch a few for the guys on here and the carp were not up in the shallows yet. So I switched to a jig and twister and figured I would try for some walleyes until the sun got a little higher to warm up the shallows and bring the carp in. First cast with the jig into the deeper current and I got a hit!! Fought the fish for awhile thinking I had a monster walleye on, and it turned out to be a carp.... totally engulfed the jig. I don't usually catch carp on soft plastics so I was totally surprised by that one. Next cast, same thing. So those two finished off Soy and Stingray45's batch. Found a new spot where the carp are running a little larger and in higher numbers, so I am expecting this list to go pretty smoothly and the action to pick up considerably. I fish on my days off so I can spend my entire day out on the river and when the temps start to consistantly be in the mid 40s and higher, I will be fishing before work, after work, and on my days off until everyone gets their skins.

Hey guys, I also plan to start saving the air bladders from the carp I catch to dry them out for making fish glue. I have someone that is going to test them out to see if they make a good glue and I plan on posting the results. Just another addition to the
"2012 Carp Quest."

Ah TC!
A Man after my own heart!
Can't wait till my boys are old enough to take fishing with me.
It will be a joy to get some consistency back into my fishing schedule!
Hope you catch a Bunch!

One of the guys I work with lives on a Lake they have introduced stearil carp for grass control. Welllll,, he told me their are some almost 3' long. He said he is feeding them bread and we are going to give it a shot with dough balls. Carp will be a first for me.
