Hey guys, i was wondering if any of you carpers would want to head over the eastern part of the Ohio river for a "non-offical" carp gathetring sometime this year?
I know a great place that you can camp right on the bank next to your rods and fish all day and night with no problems.
Catking and CW has been to this small Rayland campground for a cat outting a few years back and it would be a great place for carp too....the marina beside the camp area is a great backwater area that is made from a stream that runs off the ohio river and there are 4 big ponds that are all connected to the river and they hold TONS of carp....plus this area holds lots of Cats, Hybrid stripers, whitebass, drum, smallmouth bass, musky(shhhh dont tell anyone) and is the same marina that Husky Hooker catches all his monster crappie in the spring.
I can find out the cost for camping...but i know that just to park and fish the whole area at the marina is like $2-4 a day.
Plus you would be located only a few miles from the Pike Island dam, which is my favorite place to fish on the river for many species including carp. and they are building a new Cabelas only 8-9 miles south of the campgrounds too.
Let me know what you guys think...i'll be fishing this area many times this year to figure out when the best carp bite happens so i can try to convince Shawn to add this place to the CAG ohio Fish-In 2005 sced. if the other Eastern area picked for carping doesnt produce much action this year.
Would be nice to have a river on the sced. to give river guys like myself a chance at catching some carp at the Fish-Ins
