where ever people feed the ducks
there's usually HUGE CARP there
so
big you'll need surf strong equipment to land them...
========================================
i have to repeat this old story
for some of the new guys ok...
some friends and i wanna go carp fishing bigtime
so we plan this sophisticated assault one night
and head down to the "ducks" the next morning
a great spot on the Charles river off of route 30
we have expensive tackle and super home made dough
with Parmesan cheese salted into it for the smell ok..
we have worms too... a dare devil lure even, for trout...
spinners ect...
we even have floating pieces of bread
for the bread suckers we called -em
as they often suck the bread right off the surface...
with several hooks in the corners....
~
well... along comes this little kid... about 3 feet tall
and he has one of those big red drop lines for salt water
in his hands with this
HUGE to us hook like a tail hook
on a pocket rocket ok
we watch with much amusement while he
ties the
100 pound test green line (rope) off
onto the hand railing
then he squeezes a full slice of wonder bread with
no crust on it onto the hook and tosses it out 6 feet
well, we we're dying with laughter
thinking he
was such a green horn and would never catch anything.
so off he goes running to find Mommy and Daddy
to go feed the duckies with his baby sister down the way...
after awhile we totally forget about him........
and we are catching shiners all day there
having some fun.... then the wind stopped
and it got real quiet like.....all of a sudden
next thing i know, i hear this whining sound
kinda like a mosquito about to bite ya
but i couldn't figure out where it was coming from
son of a gun!!! it's the kid's drop line... i exclaim
a carp is on it and is pulling it so damn taught
that it was vibrating in the wind (humming)
like a guitar string.... and then along comes the
kid - running to get his drop line rig...
by then the water was foaming and churning
and his dad comes running over as the lilttle kid
yells for help.... well dear old dad couldn't
have been prouder as he hoists this monster carp
out of the water.... and it was like 4 feet long easy
and was much longer than this little kid was tall
We were all in SHOCK bigtime-> totally blown away!
as this liltte kid out fished us sophisticated fishermen
without even being there ..... we we're all so pissed
enough to
snap our rods in disgust ...so we packed it up and left....
out fished and humiliated ->
