Looks like a lot of fun, Kevin. Must have been a nice distraction to keep you from thinking about the shellacking the Flyers got from the B's.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Nice fish looks like that could be fun. There is a guide here in Maine that specializes in fly fishing out of a flats boat for carp on the Merrymeeting Bay.

Arrow dough recipes

we used to make pizza dough like recipe
that had garlic or cheese or both
that you squeezed on a hook
for easy casting

or you can use cheap wonder bread with no crust
and sprinkle Parmesan cheese or garlic powder
onto the bread before you squeeze it on the hook

and true ---most underrated fighting fish around
the Brit's would kill for what we over look

Most people fish with bread/corn etc, but they'll take nightcrawlers too. They eat pretty much what they can get a grip on.

I just decided to try carp fishing this year, and I found this site:

Wild Carp Club of New England | Wild Carp Club | Wild Carp Companies, Baldwinsville NY

They're having a tournament over the year, and this Sunday, May 14, they're meeting at Brookline reservoir. I'll probably join them and try to learn from the carp-sharpies. Everyone wants to catch the biggest fish possible - why not just target the biggest fresh-water species?
