Carp Exploration...Bust

Decided to expand my carp range and explored some unfamiliar territory.  Although the water known to hold fish, when I saw it I was less than enthused.  Water is too big and casting room is at a a premium.  Some areas looked nice as though you're in some sierra stream until you hear all the ruckus the city creates.  After checking the river Chul and I went to a local city park to see if we can find some bluegill.  Water on both waters were muddy and cloudy.  Should have just stayed home.  Maybe this water will be better as the water clears up.  I wouldn't mind banging the banks with poppers to lure a bass to bite.
