Pacemaker Fishing Forum

It is a gorgeous day and no way could I let it go by with out fishing. Head to favorite spot and setup. Had to remove my fleece as I was very warm. Sun was nice and wind was non-existent. Started slow and had a couple of hits, but no runners. Re baited several times  and then it happened..zing ---fish on. I am by myself so it gets a little tough as this is a big carp. Get it all the way to shore and slide the net under it and hook pulls out. Off it goes. Missed with the net. Ended up with 7 fish hooked and 4 landed. I had doubles too. Second line goes off while fighting another. Almost spools me by the time I lose the another carp at the shore. Pick up the rod from the pod and start reeling up and bingo fish is still on. It runs into some rip rap rocks and stops. Can not move it...14 lb line with a 6lb leader. Hmm. Put rod back on pod and set fish runner on and wait. About 10 minutes later carp starts swimming away. This one I land.
What a fun day.
