Still A Great Fishing Trip

Even though the day started out with a broken rod, it was a very good day overall. I landed 4 carp, each about 3 - 5 pounds. I used ultra light carp fishing tackle so the battles were long and fun. This lake has smaller fish so I knew I would not catch a monster. Also, landed a few nice bass on a big gob of worms. Using light fishing gear is exciting, and I think more people should try it. It makes the fight actually a challenge, especially carp who are known for their battles.
