Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pellet Fishing Tactics

I'll have some results this evening from fishing with Aquamax LMB Pellets. I shut off the feeder for a few days and only am throwing out enough AquaMax LMB Pellets until the fish stop feeding. One benefit from using them is that the large CC are really getting interested in taking the larger pellets. I figure if I rubberband a larger hook to one, it would be an easy way to catch some of the larger CC's out of the pond. Pics to follow this evening if I'm successful.

Those suckers are smart! I had a couple come up and look at it, turn away and suck one down that was a foot away. Hotdogs under a tiny bobber is on tomorrow's menu.

Theo,
That is a nice fish, 40 inch, 47 pounds, raised by you, and caught by you; must give you a special feeling of accomplishment.

Bob-O -- it's not really too difficult to find them. It is kind of like fishing for monster bass. You just have to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right equipment.



(I hope the photo shows -- I'm having trouble with Photobucket, so I'm trying Google.)

When the time and place are just right, I troll with a grappling hook, on an arm that extends off the back and side of the tractor. I drag it through the ditches in likely areas. The grappling hook can be seen in the upper right of the photo, hanging from the loader bucket. One of the typical grass carp is shown in the bucket.

Good trolling,
Ken

I need hip waders it's getting deep... HAHA

I'd figure you for chest waders.

Only if I was visiting you Theo...

DAMN!!!!! I know! Don't say something you wouldn't say in front of your Grandma. So.................





DAMN Granny! That things HUGE!!!!!

BTW Bruce you ever tried GC of that size? I was told abotu 6 years ago they are good so I ate one and cut out blood line as you mention. It was excellent. Next time it was from a giant like Theo's. I swear it tasted just like mud. I have not had the courage to go back and try one since. I think now you have motivated me to clean and eat the next time I kill one of our 12 inch stockers which happens about weekly it seems. My dog is not going to be happy GC are his favorite as well.

I guess I've never eaten one that was over about 12 pounds now that I think about it.

Where is that picture of Young Condello wet-wading and holding up a prize, semi-decomposed carp?

Was it over or under 12 pounds?

Nobody here would admit to catching a fish under 12 pounds.

I don't know, if I caught an 11 pound BG, I'd gladly admit to that... I'd sure need proof of it though!

If you catch an eleven-pound bluegill, you are allowed to round up to twelve.
