Fish Faces

Early Evening Bite

I've noticed carp feed more than normal just before sunset.

This fish was caught on the hottest, most humid day of the summer. Temperatures were in the mid-90's with high humidity and no shade.

But the fishing made it worthwhile.

Hooked on Carp Fishing

Here's a good picture demonstrating the goal for holding a carp. Remember to use a landing mat and minimize the time the fish spends out of the water.

I like to fish small urban rivers. There are many great fish to be caught in unsuspecting locations.

First of all, you are probably wondering about ghost carp and what makes them "ghostly".

Here's an explanation from Farnham Angling Society:

Ghost carp are a hybrid and usually result from breeding mirror carp or common carp with Ogon Koi.

I can now check Ghostie off my list.

First Fall Session

Summer is over and the weather is turning cooler in Michigan. With highs in the upper 60's yesterday it was perfect fishing weather for me.

I arrived early and fished until mid-afternoon. Here are some of the pictures:
