i just caught my p/b carp at an even 20lbs from eisenhower park. used my trout rig with 3lb test, when the bass are not biting its fun fighting these brutes.i use a #16 treble, a small splitshot about 12" up with a cpl kernals of corn. i will fish a worm while my trout rod is set in a holder. i used to not think of carp as a fish worth catching, till some friends took me out 1 day, i could not believe how strong they are. some of my friends have a carp website, they get together once a month and have derby's, but you can get all the info you need for bait and tackle ect..www.socalcarpclub.com
