I am really new to fishing and I bought a 6foot extractor + retractable rod and a 5000 reel to go with it as I have arthritis and wanted something very light and easy to set up 🎣
The fishery I have joined say you have to have a free running rig set up so any advice on an easy quick set up that I can use 🎣 I am not the best at knots etc so the easier the better 🎣
I have dedicated more time to exclusively fishing with Fish Squid Hallabit flavors of boilies & can say I have caught larger Fish than I ever did trying all the fruity sweet flavors. The crazy part is I expected more catfish & turtles to find the bait but its not been quite as often as on the sweets - go figure
Brother had a 10+lb carp on the line and we had a hell of a time trying to land the carp (our net was too small). This was at a local pond and we had no idea they got that big there, it was huge. Ultimately the line snapped as I was trying to get the net around the tail and scoop'em and we lost it.
Just curious how you guys are landing them. We try to never drag them onto shore amd treat the fish with the best care so if theres something we need to buy we will. Ill also add if just one of us was fishing solo we wouldn't have been able to land it either.
What’s up guys. Out of curiosity, how big is your your PB common (yellow) carp caught in the United States?

This is the second biggest carp that I caught on the surface this year. I got the take on camera, but also 2 misses before I hooked this fish.

Fishing with floating dog biscuits can be very effective when it's sunny, but these carp know they're being fished for!
I'm Dutch, but English subtitles are available.
Icing on the cake was her landing one and another carp swimming right in to the net. 2 carp,1 net (last picture).
Here’s a few from a local water that free to fish
Tried a new lake out today- had out my carp set up and a rig for some little silvers to pass the time.
Caught this gorgeous mirror. Hope he gets bigger and I can catch em again but with a few pounds behind him in a year or two.
He is my first and pb mirror carp- lol.
