Where did you go?
When I went fishing the last time in FL the Jacks were hitting like crazy.
I live on east coast between Ft Pierce and Vero Beach. We were on the flats just south of Harbor Branch on the Indian River.
This mornings trophy. Caught three minutes drive from my house. Happy Friday!
Happy Friday to you as well! Nice catch and beautiful flyrod as well.
Caught this nice carp on a trip to a new lake today, really nice days fishing there, used a really simple set up and just a piece of bread pinched on the hook so it floats in the surface, great to watch the fish swimming up to your bait and gulping it down.
Caught a bunch of croker, catfish and these two guys 
I've only had great luck with using bread in fresh water. Unfortunately around here, the turtles LOVE it and will come steal it off your hook.

Carp on topwater, lol
The waterfowl always try and grab it so you have to be watching all the time otherwise you will have a fight with a big goose on your hands
Best way to catch them on that lake, if you can get them feeding on the surface with dog biscuits then you could catch quite a few as they just start gulping down everything when they get confident.

Interesting, I always assumed when Carp fishing you'd want the bait on the bottom. I'll have to try that on my local lake when the weeds clear in the fall.
I thought the same when I started to fish for carp, sometimes they just don't get their heads down and grub around for food, a bait popped up an inch or two off the bottom can make a huge difference sometimes, another good method over here is to have a floating bait set at a certain depth to get them while they are cruising about in the mid layers as they are sometimes not on the bottom if the water is warmer in the mid levels, trial and error until you find the right depth sometimes. Not too up on the US carp thing, but carp fishing is huge in the UK and there is loads of tackle, rigs, baits and tactics to try and hook them.
Catching them on the surface is the most fun as you can see them swimming about in the right light and can get them feeding on the surface if you are quiet and don't spook them, then flick your bait out and wait for a big mouth to gulp it in, then all hell breaks loose

Wow! Nice catch. Where did you get that beauty.
Trout are something I am yet to have a go at but that looks like a hell of a catch!!
That brownie is something else. I'm guessing a sea run brown.
Feast your eyes gentlemen!! I'll be giving fishing lessons on how to catch monsters like this. Lol.
We spent about 30 minutes on the water this morning before the lightning and thunder came out of nowhere and sent us to shore. We didn't get skunked but with this guy being our only catch, it's as close to skunked as you can get.
