Went after some carp and channels for a couple hours today, relatively slow. I got 3 carp, biggest at 5.2 lbs and a couple channels that weren't worth weighing (probably only a couple pounds). This lake has a ton of fish, but haven't found any really nice ones yet, but I am sure they're in there. I haven't got the boat out there and its the very shallow end where I fish so I am sure there are better spots for big fish. On another note, I did net 8 really nice gizzard shad that are hanging out in my bait tank for the night awaiting a date with the river tomorrow.
jpwolf, use sweetcorn for carp and cut fish for catfish. Theres a lot more to it but if you just want to try those species out, then give those baits a go!
Justin, I'll look forward to seeing your reports!

carolina rig the corn with a very small hook. It will help to throw some corn in the area that your bait is too. For that application, I use a pack bait around my sinker, but for just experimenting throw a handful in and cast your line on top of that.
Decent day today, 6 cats landed with biggest being a 6lber - kept the 6lber a 4 and a 2 to eat.
Once again almost lost a rod at this place. The point I fish has trees all around so i have to walk 3-4 yards away to cast where i really want to and then walk the rod back and set it down. I had avoided this for the first couple hours because i didnt wanna be that far away from my pole. After an hour and a half dry spell i walked over to cast, let her rip, looked down, and saw my other rod fly towards the water. tossed my other rod to the side and grabbed it, only reason i got it is because it hit a bush on its way to the water, set the hook, and nothing. sucker got away clean. i guess that's just catfishing for ya! never know when its coming!

Nice Cats,NCstate!
I'f you are afraid you lose you will lose your rod you can always consider buying a spinning reel with a baitrunner.
Works fine for me.
