great post. I'll add one more to it Fishing Sport 846 Sheppard Avenue West Toronto (416) 638-4490 They carry some carp stuff for you east end carpers out there

Nice post G. Prayers to all who are affected in the disaster in both China and Myanmar.

BBQ on the boat ... damn that looks real tasty. At least you caught some fish!

Congrats! Really enjoy seeing all the smiles from the family reports . now it's time to hook her up with a carp on the barbie rod

Congrats on your first carp! I still remember how excited I was ... and it was only 5lbs lol. come'on ... lets see your face with the big smile

Looks a really nice place! Good luck on the opener!

Congrats on the Maiden Voyage! Those are some nice eyes!

I 2nd that. Great catch! (pun intended lol)

Loving the family reports cliff! It seems that we're seeing less and less of you with a fish Congrats Sydney for the PB!

Great day to be out on the water and nice fish to boot! Congrats on first fish of the season and kudos to the park staff!

a 24lb fish to start to season, it's gonna be a good one! Congrats on first of the year! i have to go get mine soon too

Congrats man! Got some weight on those fish too! Love the 2nd shot.

Beauties!! You guys have got some long clean fish over there! I sure don't mind french-kissing one like that Congrats on the PB Fishnsled ... they only get bigger once they start feeding now!

Thanks for the update Steve, good to know that they'll fine.

yup it's lots of fun ... it's like a "warm-up" for the season for other species

looks to be a really nice/quiet spot. i find fish that size fight fairly good

that's an amazing trip! i enjoyed reading the entire thing! Thanks for sharing!

That's alot of great info FHR! Thanks for sharing it with everybody.

the fishing spot at the last picture is beautiful.... wish I can fish at some place like that in the future ... thanks for sharing!

Congrats! Dang, i wish birthday comes more than once every year.

geez Mike, go fish. You're always beating me

Nope, carp is open all year long at places where they dont' close fishing for the winter (examples would be ... rice lake, little lake, etc).. and Yes corn is allowed as bait.

beauties! the fish in the 2nd pic looks pretty ticked off usually they have the "bleh who cares if I get caught" face ... do i sound crazy? man i need to go get one.

it really depends on how the carp takes your bait ... but i find it's more often that they give you a strong tug rather than short small ones initially. Once the carp sense that it's being hooked, it will make a run for it for sure ... i have never had one that just sit there after it gets itself hooked. This all happens within like 5 seconds or so. you might want to talk to cliff (ccmt) about this. he doesn't like to use bite alarms/indicators as he likes to feel all the action (nibbles, bumps, takes). I use my alarm all the time so all i hear is beeps ... he can give you more insight.

congrats on a great outing... can't see the pics though ... it's because of the "b...album" .. on the right bottom corner of the photobucket there should be a "URL link" for u
