Taking the kids fishing at Val Vista Lakes

[Big Browns]

I'm planning on taking the kids fishing this weeke after work. I was thinking about going to Val Vista Lakes for some Catfish and Carp. It's been a long time since I've fished there so I was wondering how the cat and carp fishing has been there recently? I used to catch a lot of carp there in the past! Any one fish there recently?

Last night I took the family fishing at Val Vista Lakes. The fishing was really slow. We fished from 6pm-8:30pm. We caught the only 2 fish at 8pm. My son caught a Catfish at the same time my wife hooked a Carp. It was a little crazy for a few minutes. The Catfish was a small 1 pounder, but my son was really happy. While I was un-hooking the Catfish my wife was having a blast trying to land the Carp. She and my Son were laughing, because of all the confusion. I tried to get her hold the fish for the picture, but she wasn't about to get her hands stinky:) It was a fun night. We used Bread, Corn, Hot dogs and Power Bait Catfish Bites. The 2 fish were caught on Corn.
