Have ya ever just tried there fillets fried,if so how do they taste?Or do ya gotta smoke them to make them taste good.....

People here wouldn't think about eating one!!!!

i'v eatin carp b4 and its not as bad as people think...it must be cleaned right by taking the red strip out of the center (mud strip) if not it tast like mud

[stoph]

I have a buddy who eats small carp, he has a big concrete minnow pond in his garage, he puts live carp in there for about 2 weeks. He claims that the 2 weeks in cool clean water helps flush the muddy taste out of the meat... I think its way too much work personally, if i'm hungry i'll fish for something else, but i like the theory! i might just have to invite myself round to his for dinner. If i had my own minnow tank big enough i'd give it a go....but i don't!

[kamilinthere]

you have to know how to clean the fish thats for sure and smoking gives it a awsome flavor along with alll meat i smoke trout when i have a good days catch so im always up for it
but they are good fryed most people grind the meat with vegies and other meat and ive tryed all three ways and its better then meat loaf

When i caught that carp (Im the buddy) lol  i was using 10lb tst with a shiner on a treble. I caught one the week before in the same spot but with a little different setup..

This one was caught on a quick strike rig with a shiner on each treble... I was fishing about 6'' off the bottom, in the only hole in the area we were fishing... 12' with 6'-7' being the norm around the area.
This one POPPED thru the hole... the other one we had to use the spud!

[Donquad]

Here was the release of the big one...

[kamilinthere]

nice catches this was the first time i ligit hear af catching carp thru ice thanks for the info lol

[wyiceman]

Round these parts we usually don't target carp unless we're bow-fishing - that being said I did jig up one last week - good fight that got me excited but was disapointed when I saw what it was.  I believe a tip-up would work ( with lots of line), but I don't think they are too active in the winter.  2lb weight line isn't going to hold most of the carp around here, 5 - 15 lbs. good luck

[Donquad]

ahh hell with it then i knew they werent active but that carp on the first page is a state record.

In NH ME MA CT VT and PA that fish would have been a state record.... But not in NY

[kamilinthere]

[Frabill 44]
