I found a hot water discharge and decided to throw a hammered gold spinner rig with a couple fatheads. About 30 seconds after the first cast hit the water a roughly 24″ channel hit. After I got that one in, I landed a couple 15lb range carp and one more 26′ channel. By then I was a bit on the wet and numb side so I called it a day.
26’er must have been a beaut… I Don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big. 
Nice fish.

See ya this afternoon at the secret spot Joe!
I’m guessing that felt good!
I have to admit I was pretty revved up the rest of the day. Especially since I really didn’t expect to catch anything. I did see a couple cats swim by that were as big around as my leg and over 30″ long. They spooked pretty easy though. Too bad I don’t have a buffet chafing dish to keep the stink bait warm.
Wow, that is awesome. Color me jealous!
Hopefully more pics will follow after this afternoon! Woooooooot!
Color me one shade darker than Ralph.
Go gettem!
See this post can really kick up the cabin fever a notch!
We didn’t manage any more cats the second try, but we saw a couple 20 lb+ swim by. Did manage a few carp and a river carp sucker though.
Sheesh, move this to the rough fish forum now Brian. Two pics from Friday, just carp:
“JUST” carp?
You felt the tug right?
Jesse and I were on a huge school of 3 (poundish) channels today. Not a rod in the boat. 
<sigh>
I stopped down there again for a bit Sunday, but there were 3 kids bow fishing and they had the water pretty churned up and the fish were pretty spooky. I still managed to land a nice little river carpsucker. I knew as soon as we made tracks in the snow someone would be down there. I just hope it doesn’t get fished out before spring!

Kind of like every spring when I target and fish for just carp.
We are getting closer every day!
