littleboat Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Fished 5-6:30, had to cut it short. The waves 3ft+ and chop proved too much for the littleboat. But not 1st without going 1 for 1. 113 fow, north troll, 2.2 sog, 8 color leadcore with a uv veggie spoon. I could not believe what I pulled up way out there? A 6lb plus CARP! I pulled it up to the transom got out my pliers and pulled the hook out of its mouth, letting it swim away. This was a first for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom17 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The waves out there were a lot bigger than the bouy was saying. I checked before I left home and it said .5, and by the time I cleared the pier heads it said 1.5 but the waves sure seemed a lot bigger than that. Definitely a big surprise so I ended up turning around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky30 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hell of a pan fryer:) Thats why I dont read much into marks way out of temp on the graph. Lots of Carp, Shad, sheep, and other fish around out there when its this warm. Buddy's took a true double on catfish, 1 on the slider one on the main in 90 ft. 60 ft. down a few years back,twin 7-8 lb channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew alot of them were bottom feeders, but I'll have to be more careful when I use any lure with the word veggie in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Beyond Driven Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Fished next to bouy a few weeks back in 1.9' waves. Funny as my 22' tank of a cuddy cabin glass boat was washing the bow light s and churning the prop going into them. I would have said tight 2-4 with a five every now and then.
