I get bored really easily with fishing if I am not challenging myself. Whether it be learning new tactics or places, I feel compelled to do more. I am at the point with my carp fishing where I know places where I could just stop at and catch a bunch of carp up here in the Boston area with pack bait and corn if I wanted to, but where is the fun in that? The small fish are fun to catch, don't get me wrong. After a long winter of learning new rigs / tactics and also scouting new places, it is time to challenge myself a little more and get out of my comfort zone by fishing weedy and unfamiliar places and spending time focusing on a single spot for days where I think might have good fish. The last spot I fished in this video, I went DAYS without a bite. I drove an hour to get to it six days within a week and half. most of those days I was getting home from work at midnight and then waking up 4-5hrs later to fish a place where I might get my 20lber. Over those 6 days in that last spot, I spombed out over 4 gallons of ground bait that I made. I used rigs that I made and I pushed myself to learn and do unfamiliar things. In the end, all the effort and frustrations paid off with not just one 20lb carp in a spot that I had never fished before... Enjoy!
