Title: Turkey Season is still open in TN but the Carp are SPAWNING...
Post by: spitndrum on May 05, 2011, 11:20:33 PM
Put the boat in the water at 11 today, shot a few right off the bat but it was slow as cause a cold spell came through last night. But at 130pm they turned it up and we was able to find a few good ones before we had to load the boat I finally come home with big fish of the day today just by a few inches both fish I am holding are practically identical mine is in myl left hand it it was bigger than Charlies in my right hand. Killed 17 Buffalos, 1 gar, and 1 common.

That looks fun. I will be getting out soon, since my season is over. Hopefully I will get the wife a bird this weekend and then I'm going to be hammering the carp. Water temps are still too cold here for any sort of a spawn though. Thanks for the pics.  :you_rock:

Not trying to be nosey but what do you do with the fish?
Heard they make great fertilizer for a garden.
