This was my third trip to the San Gabriel Park. This is Kim's first visit and our first time carp fishing. I grabbed a quick carp bait recipe from one of Catfish and Carp's videos (really informative stuff there). We were only there for a few hours and it was great. The video is a little long but I'm trying to learn as I go and hoping to share the ups and downs with you all. Kim's first fish is at the 6:00 minute mark and her second fish is at 15:00 minutes in. I really enjoy bass fishing so I just couldn't resist including the guy with the Whopper Plopper.

I don't sit and fish often but I find that it can be more rewarding to casual anglers. As you can see here, Kim had a great time and even though I didn't land anything, it was extremely successful. I apologize for being overly excited at certain moments but I was so hyped about Kim catching some fish with real weight to them.

My gear today included my Shimano Solstace 4000FI and Ugly Stik 9'0" medium action. Both models are unfortunately discontinued. My line included PowerPro (Moss Green) Braid 30lbs and size 2/0 Gamakatsu octopus circle hooks. Since I don't bait fish often, I used an old surf set from years back.

Kim's gear included her Shimano Sedona 2500FE and Ugly Stik Elite 6'6" action. PowerPro (Moss Green) Braid 20lbs.

I know a lot of the community frowns upon the Ugly Stik. When it comes to bait fishing, I'm more interested in a down and dirty rod that can take a beating. My higher end rods are reserved for ultralight/bass where I need that sensitivity.

I don't get paid through any sponsorships and work hard to have what I own. I fish for my enjoyment but would love to pass on a little knowledge or inspiration. I'd always rather be fishing!
