nice set up! Maybe you can try putting in a camera mount for self-portait? If you'll be doing quite a bit of night fishing, lights possibly?

Awww I think sugarpacket's fish is ready for a kiss

sounds like you had a great time! Lots of nice fish to boot as well. Now enjoy the last month of your highschool career!

If you're using a hair rig, you pretty much don't need to set the hook. It should embed itself into the carp's mouth when it takes the bait and run, when you pick up your rod and set the drag back to normal, that tension should be enough to get the hook in. They have soft mouths and if you set it too hard it will just rip it and yank the hook out. Let us know how you make out!

o yeah. All the equipment is not neccessary at all ... you catch fish with way more expensive gear but you can also do the same using dirt cheap stuff. Just make sure you watch your rod, loosen the drag so your rod won't fly out when a carp takes it... i have seen it happen so many times already lol.

that works, some people uses a bell as sound indicator .... but when the wind picks up it's alittle tough with the bell. I have also seen people hang a bobber on the line in between two of the rod guides ... it acts somewhat like a hanger. The light weight of the bobber will pull the line downwards due to gravity and when a fish takes line out the bobber will move

psh, that's nothing. we shall move it up a level ... shore lunch: carp sashimi

Congrats on your first carp... now you know why it's so much fun eh ...

sounds like a great night out. Congrats on the new PB!

i have seen it done @ Island Lake (it's also an electric only lake). In fact the day i was there, i saw a real nice bass boat with like a 250hp engine that launched in there.

Welcome aboard Jack. It's a great place. Be careful though...you might get addicted

Congrats on a successful trip! Nice fish! Thanks for sharing

o wow the odyssey actually does better in terms of gas mileage? good to know that ... good points made ... so i'm guessing CRV it is then?

You almost caught more than what we combined at the Credit ... congrats on the great outing and good that your car is ok now. We'll do another gtg soon, it was fun.

It's a fishless weekend for me ... this week is going to be long ... we'll do that again sometime soon guys, it was fun ... despite the no fish for me haha

Congrats on your first pike!

HOLY CRAP! did you just french kissed that fish? I can still see the mud + carp slime on your face. Great job... great job

nice fish! hm, i'll probably be happy with the "baby" ones

Hey solo, From reading your post it seems that you will need a vehicle ... 1) good on mileage, 2) have plenty of room for storage I would suggest looking at the Mazda5. It's crossover minivan. Seats 6 and got lots of room, 2.3L engine and 157hp. It might be not be as powerful as the others ones you have in mind but it's good on gas. As you said you won't need to tow anything, I think it is sufficient. Great price tag as well. I'd also suggest looking at the Nissan X-trail ... although i think CRV would be better but i don't know it too well ... just another one to look at Good luck!

My girlfriend always tells me that I seem to care more about my fishing rods or my fish ... so... when i do get my boat i think i'll call her "girlfriend #2"

Congrats on a successful outing. Love the pic by Terry lol.

Nice pike! It looks like a storm's rolling in or something ... the sky's so dark for that time of the day.

o man ... that seems to be a close one between Cudz and GB. Both of them have great pose and expressions lol ... i vote for a tie

We seem to love making carp kiss whenever we get double headers ... here are two personal favourites me and MJL me and Wolfville so ... what is this project all about ? looking forward to it Cliff!

Hi guys and girls, Kevin posted this deal a while back but when I had the chance to take a look they didn't have it anymore. Apparently it's back ... here's the link Pleasure Craft Operators Card You pay for it first and you'll get a PIN number ... with that PIN you can take the test whenever you want. I just ordered my PIN. 2009 is coming real soon and for those who haven't gotten one yet it's a pretty good deal. No i don't work for that site lol. I hope that this would not be considered as ... just a heads up for all the members. Victor
