5-8-2024 Bubba Trip

Had an long time client want a onboard Captain trip on his boat. Plan was to go for the three bass slam. Set out from Fort Washington Marina early morning. The carp where spawning in the marina and what a ruckus they where making. Pushing boats around and splashing and jumping. It was something to behold and hear.

Any way made to the run down to Greenway flats and started catching LGMouth on chrome rattle trap. Lost a convict bass at the boat also. Landed a good number of LGMouth and moved on to smallmouth bass. But not bites so we moved further south to Chapmans Point and ran into a mile long concentration of gar. It was so many that our lures snagged one every cast almost. Never seen that many before. It was wild.

Headed back and made one stop and picked up a nice bass.

Back at marina dead carp where everywhere. Females for sure.

Spawn till you die...

Some fish biologists would be elated to see some carp go away. According to some experts, "Common carp degrade water quality and destroy habitat for waterfowl, fish and amphibians."

But...The Bruce, The Mike and The Dave love catching them as they are voracious fighters!

Nice!  It's tough out there with all the spawning going on by the big ones, it always sounds like someone fell out of a boat!  All carp and gar down here by Aquia!  But it's very cool to see so many big fish.
