Has anyone ever splashed their hand in the water to imitate carp spawning? I shot some the other day in some floodwater. There were fish moving all over and I shot a few, but they seemed to get a little skittish. I had somebody tell me that they splashed their hand in the water and have had fish come in, so I tried it and sure enough I had a nice big male come in with 2 or 3 other big fish. Not sure if the splashing got their curiosity or what, but I think it actually worked.

Tie one off to the bank, Bait!! I Have had them follow in the fish I was reeling in already.

Hey that's a good idea. I never actually thought of that. I've always shot carp on land or just wading through overflow. I wanna start shooting them out of a boat, but until then I'll take what I can get!
