Concord River Carp In The Rain
Good outing on the Concord river in Billerica in the rain this Saturday. Pulled in several Bullhead Catfish, a Bluegill (surprisingly) and a Carp on Dough Balls.
The Bullheads were all 10 - 12 inches in length, nothing to write home about. This was the first carp I've successfully landed, but it was 16-18 in length and probably weighed 5lbs. While targeting different fish I've hooked into two other fish in this area that I would assume were carp that felt much larger then the one caught today.
All in all a good day. Plenty of fish, a bridge to provide cover from the rain, and my first successful Carp Catch.
As a FYI drifted worms under the bridge here provided some nice Perch and various Sunfish on a different trip.
