Well, carp addict population has just gone up by one in the Lower Mainland tonight.

We went out for a couple of hours tonight. Much better than spending a warm night in front of the tube. Instead of just Nina and I, several kids from FishBC also joined us for the night to see why exactly carp fishing is so interesting. We arrived, Floon and a ChickwithStick were already there. Willowbarkus joined us later on too.

No luck for me today, not that many bites either. I was spending more time chatting with others, yep, that's my excuse tonight... Nina on the other hand, had her rod dancing away on the rod holder. The fish did not waste anytime after her bait landed on the bottom each time. No hookups though, pretty frustrating I bet. Kind of like Chrome Mykiss, Trout Slayer and I yesterday, hooking nothing except the one carp I briefly connected.

Time flew by pretty fast, at around 9pm, we heard a tiny reel screaming away. Turned around, Willowbarkus was in action! Her ultralight outfit was being strain to its limit, but Willowbarkus was not about to give up. After a few minutes of tugs, the fish was finally ready to be netted. Nice fish indeed! First one for her, and she's pretty hooked now.



Congrat!
