Good ending

I got my PB common at 20 lbs 9 oz, caught the 23rd

This is my 3rd trip in the now fixed chair, the other 2 trips yielded nada.

Caught over 40 carp this year but most between 12 and 17, incredible day of weather to be out and bonus 20 to boot, good to finish my carp season strong

Great pictures and you had a great season. Now you have to break out an auger to fish so don't bother head baack down here for the winter.

I thought i was staying up here this winter at one point but the oil slick stayed far enough away for now. Don't worry, i usually fish when you all are in the house with the heater on.

Those a very big carp. Looks like your fishing in a very urban area from the looks of the background.

nice carp.

what kind of bait do you use to fish for them? My goto was always doughballs made from shredded wheat.

Wild whiskey anise maize on a hair rig. They like the alcohol corn in cold water.

I'm thinking the more urban sections of the Charles River (???) I fish an area near the Watertown area where the bottom seems paved with carp (no bread chumming required - just throw your bait out there and wait 5-10 minutes)...I fish this particular area because it's also a zone where stripers come up into the freshwater stretches of the Charles while chasing herring...so while the action is down for stripers, I keep a bait rod rigged for the carp as well...that's a nice carp, btw

Merrimack in Lowell, thanks Alba, are you on the NEF site?
How was the striper run there in watertown last spring? Herring run?

I hope the merrimack is better for stripers this year, was bad for me last year.
