This looks suspiciously like a personal ad.
Have fun out there. Let us know if the water has cleared up. Last I heard, it was muddy and pouring over the spillway.

I went over there this afternoon to set up camp and the water was pure chocolate milk and the water is wayyyyyyy up....Oh well I suppose we could still go for the bass and walleye.

We are back....The carp are flopping everywhere and they are VERY shy when you approach them.....Guess they are modest...LOL
We did end up sticking some bigguns...16, 20, 13, and some misc little males......Did have one of the big ole fat ladies decide to redecorate everything on the deck when she emptied all of her eggs!..

Nice going. A 20#er will always make the trip worthwhile.
Is the water clearing up much?

By the time we left the visibility was around 4-5ft in some areas....However it is IMHO better during the day. You just have to see them flopping then get up speed and coast in...

has any of you people who shoot all those big fish ever turned any of them in for citations? Looks like even Ken would be eligible for the 20# common carp. just a thought

Yea, I thought about the citation but did not get a pic of the scale nor did I measure....
Oh well...It was fun as all get out anyway!
