This week's adventure was a Buckhorn Dam, which is a spillway on the Cape Fear River in Sanford, NC. Buckhorn is a favorite spot for the locals. It's typically very shallow (1.5-2.5 feet deep near the spillway), but has an amazing variety of species. I decided to spend a morning trying to catch as many as I could. Here are the lures / set-ups that I used in the video:
Carp Rig:
#6 Gamakatsu octopus circle hook, snelled to a 14" piece of 20 lb fluorocarbon leader attached to a swivel. Above that, I have a small bead and a 1/4 oz egg sinker, which holds the bait in place and allows the carp to run and set the hook. For bait, I used 2-3 kernels of sweet corn that I've mixed with a small amount of imitation vanilla extract (carp crack!)
Other lures:
#6 Panther Martin Deluxe Dressed Fly Spinner (Brass Body / Blade w/ Orange Trim) - this is one of my favorite freshwater lures and I catch the majority of fish in the video on this lure: amzn.to/43pZgsG
