Its a ton of fun for sure, I was at Almanor Saturday for a little carp shoot'n and bass fish'n. Thunder heads rolled in and so did the rain followed by enough wind to make it impossible to see in the water. Had a ball with some good smallies though.
We used to catch those suckers on ultra lite gear, at the local marina. Case of beer, ultra lite tackle, and 20 pound carp always made for a pretty fun summer night.
