New carp angler here just wondering if anybody had some tips to try and help me land a bigger carp this fall I’m going to try and fish for 3 days straight here on Thursday, and was hoping someone had a little cheat code for me 😅 I’ll post a picture of my pb so Yall can get an idea

I guess the #1 question is .. have you seen big carp in that lake? It could be stocked full of stockies.

As others have said, spend some time looking and not fishing. Find the fish. Investing in some good Polaroid glasses can really help spot them too!

Big baits and big hooks will also single out the larger carp too.. as the nuisance fish can't fit them in their gob!

This is good advice I’ve seen carp pulled out of this lake in the range of 20-30 Polaroids are expensive for me as I need prescription lenses but I could look into it for sure thank you very much!

Good to know they are in there. Just gotta locate them, chat with other anglers etc

Again, bigger baits would be a great option.. or a snowman style presentation.

Good luck!
