Carp are great and very easy to catch at times....Plus on light line can give an amazing fight. I grew up training my self on light line techniques with carp.....and even fished for them with the sponge Bob rod at first before taking it saltwater to see how it would handle.............Koi ar also loads of fun and great for kids but can get a little finicky especially when there big.....
Here's a pic on my World record Koi...Plus Mike if you ever want to hook up i'll come down for the day and we can fish for some carp with your son.
Roy, thanks for the offer. I plan to take you up on that. That koi your holding is just plain awesome!
Any time!!!
Raven...you just can't beat bread or corn.....I grew up fishing them with canned vegies and bread so it's hard for me to say anything else is better, but I have caught them on all kinds of baits like boillies, sented maiz, potatoes, corn flakes and rasberry soda and even mullberries......there was this mullberry three on mother brook in dedham that I would climb and shake till a ton would fall in the river and then come back a half hour later and slaughter them on the berries. For flies I like small nymphs like hares ears and pheasent tails and flies tied to immitate corn or bread. They eat them but it can be fustrating and I tend to break many on the hook sets, but when you do hook up its a blast
