Change of Scenery… more CARP!

[TexasChris]

I used to use the dog food to chum them, but i've since given it up. You just dont need to with the number of fish there.

I've seen the carp go crazy after a duck feeding. A white wooly bugger or egg pattern works great for those times.

Aaron, last time I was there I got refusals on the egg left and right. Only caught one with it. I think they're getting wise to it. Could have just been an off day too I guess.

God with the Karma, so I chum! What you think they do for bone fish if its an off day? Yeah Egg pattern Is number one, But im gonna switch it up to smaller eggs, I was making them a little smaller than a 1/4 inch but i noticed the other day I had a few fish miss'em because of the size. I picked up a bag of Mini poms from Ac moore, 250 for $3, how could you go wrong..

[TexasChris]

I didn't give the negative karma. I use to chum them as well. I don't do it anymore though, cause there is no need. I tie my eggs pretty small, maybe I just need a new color. I've been using mcflyfoam for my eggs.

Was there last night Banged out 7 and on my eigth my backing failed and I watched my gpx swim away..Spent about an hour trying to find it, no luck.. But the smaller eggs did the trick and my fingers have friction burns. I cant bleieve I lost my gpx, AH

[TexasChris]

I hate to laugh, but that's funny right there.

[Walshmiko]

I laughed too when it happened The backing was very old, my fault for not changing it.. I may have to throw my Cort 555 on after work and see if I can catch a Gpx..

[TexasChris]

LOL. Good luck. I would imagine you would see it, as long as it's still floating. How small did you make your eggs?

all this has got me in the mood to go carpin...Is 5x really the necessary leader now...they must've gotten really line shy

[TexasChris]

I don't know if it's necessary, but it sure helps.
