Yesterday morning myself along with my friends we decided to this place for carp.It was great day for us and 1 of the happiest day of my life as i caught 1st big fish which i always wanted to.We reached there around 7am.There were some people already fishing from the new dock.It was nice & sunny when we reached there.Not too cold but later weather started getting cooler.As soon as we reached i had my rod already setup for carp.I just hooked some corn on the hook and casted same spot where other guy caught yesterday.In few minutes while i was helping my friend setup his rod i saw my reel spinning fast as i set drag very lose.I immediately tried to set the hook and tight the drag but some how it didn't hook properly and i missed it.Casted again in same direction and with in 15 min i had another bite.This time i had him hook properly but my drag was very loose that carp took my line very far i was out of control.I set drag to tight and tried to reel it in but it broke my line.I am sure it was monster carp i hooked.This was my first time i had big fish hooked on so i was confuse what to do.There was 1 guy from OFN.He is carp specialist.He showed me how to properly handle the carp+some tips.I set my line again and casted almost same direction.And in around 20 min i had another hit.This time i knew what to do.I landed the carp with few minutes.It gave a good fight & it was my first time i experienced good fight.I was very happy as this is first time i landed big fish since i started fishing last summer.The other guy also landed very big carp.It was around 25 pound.He was fully loaded with European carp gear.See pic below.We left there around 10:30 as it started getting cloudy and very cold.I also saw other people landing good size carp from the new dock.i didn't see any other fish being caught as i think water temperature is still cold and water level is also high.
I was not using any carp gear.I had my Quantum 6.6 medium action rod with Abu Garcia spinning reel with 14lb fireline.My line setup was simple.Just a egg sinker and hook with some canned corn on.
Well it was great day for me.I will go again there for sure.If you want some action I suggest you try out this place.In the mean time,enjoy pic below
