I have seen some huge carp on Lady Bird lake. I thought I may try to catch some sometime. Any pointers on catching carp on LBL?

I've done it before, using Euro techniques. Boil some deer corn and use it for bait. Chum the area ahead of time for better results (day before). Have fun!

Biggest I have caught out of LBL is about 25 pounds. It was several years ago that I last did it.

I caught a bunch sight fishing. Basically folded some bread around a hook and cast it where I'd see them. Lots of fun on ultralight

I have seen a lot of them early in the morning around Barton Creek. Any other suggestions on locations?

Bran flakes and Big Red. Make a dough bait. Sounds crazy, but it works.

Man, I wonder what's the magic in big red. But people everywhere use them.

The magic is Texas.

Not sure on LBL but I have caught loads at Ski Shores and Hula hut on LA. French fry on a hook

When I lived in East Texas, way behind the pine curtain, folks soaked marshmallows in Big Red for carp and catfish. Also used a marshmallow, bran flakes & big red mix
