Got invited out to the river with Scott D and Eric to chase the elusive carp.

Scott was on the fish the day before so we had high hopes as we set our rods.

I broke off the first 2 screamers that took my bait, both clean mystery break offs. Bummer for sure!
Thankfully, there would be others.

I changed to new leader material and the next hit resulted in a fish on the bank.
Not a big fish, about 6 lbs, but a nice start.

We ended up beaching 4 nice commons with the best two weighing in the teens.

It was a fun way to bend the rods and hang out talking fishing.

Thanks for the invite Scott, and having Eric as a photographer is always great.

Here's some pics:
