CarpQuest – S2E15 – Adams County Carp Fishing – Carp at the Fairgrounds

In this weeks episode we fish for carp at the Adams County Fairgrounds with my neighbor, Roland.

Fishing for me is about spending quality time with friends and family. Roland has had a rough year getting over shoulder surgery. With his recovery almost complete it was time to once again take him out with me for a day of relaxation, fishing and most of all, fun!

For a destination we chose Adams County Fairgrounds, in Brighton, north east of Denver. Though quite a drive north this destination offered multi species angling with a lakes jam packed with warm water species of fish, and of course, carp! Though Roland likes to target trout he really cares not what he catches, so long as it’s a fish.

The weather on this Sunday turned out to be a perfect, sun, a few clouds, a light breeze. The Fairgrounds were deserted when we arrived so we had our choice of spots to fish from. We ended up setting upon on a peninsula with not only a great view of the lake but with a variety of different environments to target, shallow water, margins, weeds, or out deep.

I hadn’t fished the Fairgrounds in almost 2 years. My last session at this venue was remarkable, 9 carp banked in a single morning, with the majority of captures being low to mid doubles with a couple pushing the scales close to 20 pounds.

My session with Roland was a blast !

Again the Fairgrounds gave up their bounty with wanton abandon and I ended up with an 8 carp haul, with fish ranging between 5 and 17 lbs. I also got to finally test out the CC Moore Co & Ltd Live System range of boilies, pellets and dips. The last 5 of my carp all were captured on the Live System boilies.

Roland caught a green sunfish, some tiny large mouth bass, and finally, a real nice trout. The day ended just before dark with a final run and I landed a nice 8 lb channel cat. What a session. Roland is always a pleasure to be with and a real gentleman, net-operator and camera man!

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did with my day on the bank side with Roland.

Tight-Lines,
John
