Storms, Rainbows and Carp

I decided to go Carp fishing after work today 6PM - 8 PM.  My Buddy Mark met me out there and we set up 2 rods with Corn on the hook  and oatmeal/creamcorn/Vanilla Extract as a packbait.

The outfits were exactly the same as my previous outing.....

We immediately started catching channel cats form 1 -2 1/2 lbs but it was the Carp we were after.   One of my rods got a bite and I picked the rod  up felt another bite and set the hook on a good fish.   After a brief intense battle I land a good  ~10 lb Common Carp.



A Nice Common

We caught a few more channels as an intense storm was developing around us.  Mark wanted to head out but I convinced him to stay.   Luckily the storm went around us. We had a good storm to East of us and one to the west of us.    We got to see an intense lightning storm to the east and a Beautiful storm to West of us that ended up with a spectacular skyline and a Rainbow to the North of us. 

Fishing is not just about the fish.  It is about the camaraderie with friends and the Beautiful things we see in Nature.
