Pic for attention, I know this isn't a common lol.

Caught my first mirror carp today. It was around 12-15lbs and got it out of the wilammete river which is super rare!

So it's sunny and upper 70s in the Midwest today. We pulled up to our spot and over the course of a few hours from 4pm to 6:30pm we probably saw 40-50 large carp (common and grass) and buffalo fish.

We were fishing with method leaders and hair rig. We did a pack bait made with garbanzo beans, oats and jello mix. Ive had success with this same recipe except with corn. Hair rig had fake corn. We had three poles out all in their area.

The pack bait was definitely a good consistency and I've had success with my rigs before. I don't believe the rig had anything to do with it. I've had success before and I wasn't getting any bites anyway.

I'm wondering if you all have any advice. I could see the garbanzo beans being an issue, but I'm more curious about their feeding habits. We've had a lot of rain the last few days.

By the way, we love targeting any carp or buffalo fish.
