Carlyle Dam 8/25
Took the long 350 mile drive around trip down to Carlyle dam yesterday with cousin marty, KBI-Prez Bill, grandson Tyler. Fishing was realy spotty. Would be in fish real hot and heavy then go a long time and not see anything. Was a lot of foam on the water so was hard to see. Weather was perfect 84, sunny slight wind. Was really suprised to see how high the water was, could cruse right across the rapids. Bill and Marty shot together in Marty's boat and flat kicked our butts. Bill shot the largest fish at 22# 7oz to beat my 19 pounder. They shot 38 big heads to our 19. So a thumping we took. They even shot a double double. both each getting two fish with one shot at the same time. So for a total count was 57 big heads, 5 silvers and one Gar. On a funny note when we got back home I took 3 big heads that I had gutted and Iced down to a chinese rest. I had gave them carp before but not big heads. Boy were they trilled, the owner actually picked up one of the fish and kissed it on the head. Then told me to be sure to stop by today and get a meal on them...got to like that.
