Carp Patrol (with backup)

I headed back out to the flats under high sun and more wind that I wanted.  MK joined me which was nice since it's way easier to fish with two guys in the boat, the boat poles cleaner and the another set of eyes on the water is worth it's weight in gold.

We poked around the upwind side of the flat and then gradually dropped into the wind whipped side where expansive muds were in evidence and we unknowingly blew up fish everywhere.  In places we were in less than 2' of water but still we couldn't spot them. 

We tried fishing blind for a few half hearted minutes and then circled around to the clear water where we spotted a fish, gave chase and MK got off a couple of shots before it vanished.

We learned a few things during our daylong tour of the mudflats...
1. There are a ton of carp on this flat in late march.
2. They are schooled and making mud which makes them really tough to see.
3. There are some smaller fish in the muds, drum perhaps?
4. we have a ways to go before we have this dialed in.

More to come.
