: : Have any of you bass guys seen any spots full of big carp on the lake

: Yes, I've seen tons of BIG carp at Dean Mithcell in Gary. I would estimate that most of the carp are either ten pounds or much bigger. If you walk down the trail at Dean mitchell and just keep walking straight to the water after the trail ends, you will come to a wall of those giant rocks. Most of the fish i see are right there and also to the right further where the rocks and the breakwall meet. I also have a question. What type of bait and rig do you use to catch these things? I wanted to try for them sometime, but i'm afraid that the Gobi's will steel my bait all the time. I use feed corn and soak it for a few days then boil it for an hour and its ready to go, I will use softshells also but drum and golbies seem to get to it before the carp can. Thanks for the spot. I use a bolt rig its hard to describe but if you look up carp anglers group on the web the show you how to rig this rig and also show alot of other good rigs that work. Hope that helps. Rubberlips
