Hey Steve Yeah, been out in the cold, but the big freeze has really put the carp off taking the baits. Only a couple of guys have had takes recently since it thawed, one guy took a 54pound mirror carp last week while the rest of us just looked and sulked LOL. Im waitng a few weeks now until easter, let it warm up a bit. If you are down here bring your gear I'll take you to our lakes here later Jay
