spent about 5 hrs at pond 106 and pulled in some small carp ( under 20")

Had follow up after follow up & stopped counting after 11. Water was brown/green & super low vis.even with direct sun. Tried close to a dozen different lures & found the jointed rap (black & gold) had best results.

Saw something jump that was all silver & about 16" but not sure what it was. I was just looking away as it popped from the water.

Sadly there's a lot of garbage there from people fishing. Shimano label from a new pole, bit's & pieces of lures, floaters etc. red stripe beer bottles and snack packages. I forgot to bring a garbage bag with me. Next time, & I'll tie an extra bag to a stick that's jammed into the ground so the lazy fishermen can maybe try to put their garbage in the bag. I actually think I saw the 3 guys that made part of that mess a week ago when I passed by. I'm sure they'll be there again.

I was fishing with someone a few weeks back who caught a MASSIVE carp (30+lbs I netted it and it almost pulled me out of the canoe) on a spoon.
