Went carping in 82 degree Carnegie Lake this evening on a hot, humid sunny day with a light west wind. Mosquitoes π¦ were biting. Killed 2. Saw 12 fishermen. Threw out a can of corn π½ for chum, then caught and released 23 8-9β white perch and a 9β black crappie with a white 1/32 oz Big Eye jig and 1β chartreuse twister tail on 2 lb test line. After a fish π stole my lure, I tried a red 1/32 oz Big Eye jig and 1β purple twister tail. Only caught and released a yellow perch and bluegill. Caught and released bluegills with Bowl and Basket whole kernel corn on 12 lb test line. Landed 34 fish π£ including my 2,300th NJ freshwater fish π for this year.

Nice way to spend an evening Bands.
Nice job bands, that lake bottom most look like a field of corn cans from all of them you throw out there!
