Between 7am on Thursday and 9am on Saturday, Adam and I got in about 32 hours of fishing, and caught something around 35 carp total between us. So, we averaged about a fish an hour during our stay, with most of the better ones caught Thursday afternoon and evening. The results included new carp PB's for both of us, with a 23lbs. fish for each, as well as three other fish that weighed over 20lbs. being caught too. Only 5 or 6 of 'em looked to be less than 10 pounds. And the average was something in the mid-teens. It really was great time there and we look forward to returning soon! Adam's new PB fish. A real "chunk" it was too with a big girth on her! About as soon as Adam's 23# was in the net, another pole got hit, resulting in a 15# for me. A spectator photographed our memorable double for us! Got my own 23 pounder Thursday night. A little thinner, but a little longer than Adam's fish. The park in the bay is were we fished. A very nice location! A typical fish we caught. Hard fighters! Last catch before we packed-up this morning. We were tired, but very well pleased!

Wow!!!!!! Congrats guys!! Where's Sylvan located, up north? It's right in Rome City, about halfway between Fort Wayne and the Michigan state line. There's a grocery store, gas station, Sub Way and Ice cream store right across the street from where we were fishing. Talk about super convenient! Quite a few people came around and asked us about our equipment and tactics we were using and seemed to mostly be really impressed and interested in it after I gave 'em a little tour and Q & A session. A few guys would come back every so often to check on us and how it was going. Sure had a great time up there! Thanks, all!

Glad to see you guys had a great outing! Sylvan Lake has a real good reputation as a good fishery. I've never been there but it's been talked about a few times
