Carping At Timber Creek
Since the weather was pretty nice... 60 degrees.. I decided to try a new spot I found on google maps... timber Creek down by the Delaware River. Used sweet corn on a hook bait and threw our some ground bait (oats-corn-strawberry jello-maple syrup) with my spomb. Well, I fished from 12 noon till 3:00. High tide when I first got there. In three hours I caught 7 channel catfish up to 6.5 pounds. Most of them were around 2 to 3 pounds. NO CARP so I was a bit upset, but had good action all day. Will definatley go back to this place in spring. I know there are huge carp in there upwards of 30 pounds but today just didnt land any.
guys... trust me... I was happy as hell just to get out and fish.... and it was a blast catching those fish.. especially the last one (6+pounds)... but you guys need to try carping.... once you fight one of them, especially those over 10 pounds... it gets addictive..... Im not complaining... just missing and "needing" that fight!! The best I can explian or compare it to is bluefish... they run with a power that is unreal!!
Stop the whining. You had a great day of cat fishing. The carp will come.
You still caught 7 fish thats good on any day. Well done.
