Chuck, I love to fish for carp and have a couple of sure fire locations at Lake Logan. Next time you are down this way let me know and I will set you up for a great time. The trick at Lake Logan is to use small hooks and a small piece of dough ball. I only cast out about 10 or 15 feet from the bank. I also use a rather small sinker (split shot) , Just enough to keep the dough on the bottom. I place the sinker about 12 to 18 inches above the hook. Jim
