What a WILD 4 hours I on Carters today! I had the itch all day long, the rain kept me at home for half the day but around 12 I couldn't take it anymore and loaded up. I got to the water around 12:45.... I only fished to 5pm and had 6 spots, 4 stripers/hybrid and for some reason the CARP were eating the jerkbait today as well I boated 2 both around 5lbs? I also had 5 other fish come off the jerkbait, I would say they were hybrids but the way the carp bit today who really knows LOL! Biggest spot of the day was only 3.5lb, striper: 15lb+

I fished main lake points and humps today w/ the jerkbait, swimbait, and a Lucky Craft Sammy 128 which eventually got taken from me by a big striper emoBawl $20 gone just like that!!! I hate it when that happens, thats the 2nd time this year and topwater striper season is just getting started, atleast for me....

Sorry for the low quality pics, I was by myself and did the best I could. I had a total of 10 blowups on the Sammy today, and boated 3 of my stripers on the topwater so things are really looking good. Good luck on the water, it's wild out there.

Topwater stripers... I could stand some of that!

It was a topwater kind of day.
 
RE: Carters Lake, CRAZY day.

Them carp are fine fish to catch. There are several at Sloppy Floyd that I want to hook into. :)

That hybrid is a fatty, isn't she?

Hate to hear about the loss of another valuable lure. Especially a LC lure. Lots of money tied up in those.

Great looking pics, bud. emoToast emoThumbsup emoToast
 
RE: Carters Lake, CRAZY day.

Now thats a great way to spend 4 hours. Good job man. I am headed to Nottely in the morning to try and get a few stripes (47 1/2 lber came out of there March 3rd on mainlake point). I can't help myself but to start in the back of a creek but I will spend most the day out on the main lake points. Take care and nice fish of all 4 species.

I know what your saying about heading to the backs, I actually caught my biggest striper today in the back of a creek. The fish was on the last deep" point in the creek, I caught it on a swimbait.

Good luck at Nottley

Very nice fish there! I wish I could have been on the Chick today. It will be interesting to see what these cooler temps are going to do to the bite.
 
Good report, those hybrids are some fierce fighters. Carp are too especially on light tackle.

Good GOSH!!! I hear all you guys talking about map classes .. lure classes .. what about ... THIS IS HOW YOU SMILE WHEN YOU CATCH FISH classes. :)

I swear Triton .. that look on your face is more like that of a 6 month old trying to give mommy something to do!!! emoLaugh emoLaugh emoLaugh No offense meant .. but golly .. maybe if catching those fish doesn't work to make you smile ... picture something pleasant in your mind before the camera goes off!

Of course I'm practicing that face ... it might work to scare the heck out of Whenwegoin' when I catch up with him about the secret hole. emoPoke

But .. nice job fishing on a day that didn't look too promising.
