I found a pod of grassies on the windward side of the city pond. A few of them were clooping surface scum. It was time to hook a grassie on a hopper. After a few half hearted cloops on the hopper I had a cruiser take a nice gulp, zing! I haven't caught enough grassies to say the code is cracked but I may be on the curve. Ever since I read Jeff Currier's
"Grass Carp Code Cracked Forever" post I've been anxious to take a grassie on a hopper. While you're over at Jeff's blog be sure to read about his recent India trip fishing for mahseer.
Wow, isn't that your 2nd one of the year already??? Stellar job, John! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteyep. thanks!
DeleteAwesome. Grassies are tough nuts to crack.

ReplyDeleteAwesome catch--who would have thought a grasshopper and carp--by the way Bass Pro has some of the most realistic grasshoppers I have ever used--thanks for sharing
Nothing more fun than grassies on top water poppers.
ReplyDeleteDood for you! Grass carp are tough all right, but I find them very surface oriented here, especially to elm seeds, does NOT mean I can catch them.

That would be good for you. Me and my typos. The only other thing I might humbly state is that it's worked for Jeff and now you, far better than what I might expect from them, but to crack the grass carp code might be far reaching. (I am going to tie some green hoppers, though, better belive it.)

That is awesome Man! Congrats, I am finally getting the hang of carp but the grass carp has continually eluded me. Great job.
