Highlights of 2003
Clear Lake Carp Fishing

May 30, 2003 I fished off the seawall in front of my house this morning from around 6:30 am to 11:00 am and caught 5 carp weighing from around 10 to 16 lbs. There was a bass fisherman, Sonny Nuzzo, watching me and he decided to give it a try. He caught 3 carp weighing from 10 to 17 lbs and now he's hooked on carp fishing. We used the old standby, side hooked, canned sweet corn on #4 baitholder hooks with a ¼ ounce sliding sinker. Here's a 10 lb'er that Sonny caught. I'm holding the fish to demonstrate the proper method of holding the carp for a photo.

March 23, 2003 First carp for 2003 After much prebaiting off my back deck, I finally caught the first fish for 2003, a nice healthy looking 11 lb'er. Caught it on a strawberry doughball.

March 25, 2003 First trip to M & M Campground Mary and I met our friend Terry Mardell at M & M Campground for a short afternoon session. The heavy winds made the fishing tough but Terry caught 4 nice fish including a 20.4 lb'er. Mary and I each caught one fish. All fish were caught on prepared maize. Here's Terry with his 20.4 lb'er.   Mary with a nice fish of around 12 lbs.
