For a few hours Sunday i fished a favourite swim....mike and michael and blair i showed you at the shoreline cleanup.
i was fishing for carp and alot of the carp had lamprey marks and one still had a lamprey attached.

Wow that's crazy. I never knew Lamprey latched onto Carp. I hate those damn things (the Lamprey not the Carp Tongue).

A great reward for building clean-up karma Smile.

Nice picture Dave!

Ken can study it in his quest to properly hook and catch a lamprey Tongue

Thank God I'm not the only one who wants to. I thought I was going crazy.

Yes, you're crazy.

Technically, I had already used a Silver Redhorse as my "bait" to "catch" a Sea Lamprey TongueBig Grin

Thinking about that occasion again, the lamprey was latched onto the dorsal fin of the Silver Redhorse, with a fresh lamprey wound, suggesting a very recent attachment...perhaps just minutes before I hooked the Silver Redhorse or while I was fighting the Redhorse. A lamprey that has attached for a while and actively feeding is usually found on the body itself.

So I'm sticking to that story. Tongue

I guess I can tried a hooked carp as "bait" at Dave's spot to try for another one. Tongue

How about getting a big, dead fish and sticking a bunch of hooks in it. Leave it in the water and odds may be in your favour such that a lamprey will get its mouth stuck on one of the hooks...

and there you have a fair-caught lamprey! Confused

Your method probably works better for Hagfish than Sea Lamprey Big Grin

Dead fish has no blood for the Sea Lamprey to feed upon Wink
