The Sport of Carp Fishing

Cheers, Looking forward to April 1. Net season runs for 2 months here in Michigan, (lower, upper has a 1 month season starting a month later) I have a new net on the way, my ropes are ready to go, I love killing carp in large numbers. Did you know that netters catch as many fish on the bottom of the net as the top? (8x8 net lays flat on the bottom) Next carp you catch, examine the dorsal fin. There is a saw-toothed spine that catches in the mesh and a 30 pounder can be lifted only by the spine. You can tell when you've set your net on top of a big one. The whole assembly starts shaking and bouncing around. Wait a few to insure the mesh catches the barbs. Funny sight , pulling 3-4 carp up by a single fin and all hanging below the net. I'll post some pictures in a few weeks. Pepperoni Many useful tactics are banned in many waterways here. Bow/spear fishing is also totally banned. E. |
