interesting indeed ... and it is the closest crucian i've seen so far for Ont.

hey TJ ... if you have figured out how to play it ... i think you should consider getting the rapala fishing game ... i have planning to buy it also just for that game lol ... sounds fun

i've also noticed them in some perch that i caught ... good to know what they are lol

great job with the canoe! sounds like a fun day on the water!

now lets see some downrigger put on that canoe and i'll be waiting for that lake O salmon/steelhead report LOL

been a while since i saw you posting! it seems that you catch more without your pod/alarm lol.

one of these days u've gotta take me out and i'll give it a shot .. sounds fun

have a fun trip greg! never been that so i can't help.

congrats! that's soo cooL!

the first moment that i saw this post .. i was like .. hm who took CC's signature Caps font!? and then on the second moment ... i was like whoah? CC does bass fishing?

it's great to see you back during summer! nice fish!

007 you seem to be the "king of small fish" on OFC haha ... i thought my "PB" carp was small but i think it's about the same size as yours

other than that i'm no match for the other species ...

love those colors on these cute little ones though

yeah he seems to have mastered the 'hold' ... i bet he outfishes you every trip!

thanks for posting

even though muskies are rare you might want to watch out for those ... we saw some big pike coming out of centre island / lako o shoreline too don't forget your lifejacket

that's some nice color on that crappie!

good to see a carp report this time of the year! great fights on light gear!

same as solopaddler the items that concern me the most are the lifejackets and the whistles ...

other than the items required by law/regs, you might want also want to look into some other things like:

1) canoe seats - it is tough to stand and fish with two people so you might end up with sore backs after a full day of paddling and fishing

2) rod holders - allow you to troll slowly while your hands are busy paddling

as far as "pimping up your ride", i think you should talk to jediangler, his canoe is "fully loaded" lol

good luck and i can't wait for your first canoe report!

p.s. bungee cords are great for tying up canoe on the top of the car ... much faster than tying knots everytime

Condolences to you and your family John.

Here's another way to hold them

 

i gotta try out that hold sometime soon ...

we hide carp spots the same reasons why bass/musky/walleye/trout anglers hide their spot ... you might not like carp and you don't care but out of all the carp anglers there are unethical ones and we care

wow, that's definitely one of the bigger ones we've seen on OFC this year, nice catch!

an intro would be nice ...

as for pike/muskie ... (if you don't have a net) it's best to lift them up using two hands, one under the head and the other one under the tail part ... do not hold them vertically ... and try to keep them out of the water as little time as possible... o also, watch out for those sharp teeth!

those are some lean machines!

must have been fun to catch them with 6lb line in such clear water

They weren't doing the special dance to worship the Carp Gods...You know which one

 

When DSN wasn't looking I did the Anti-Carp-Dance and stole his carp-mojo and put it onto my own rod

 

Thank goodness no one took any pics to reveal the special moves required for the dances.

with the special dance you only caught 9? what a disappointment mike. I would expect your bite alarm batteries to go out in just one outing if you wipe out the dance move.

now when i'm done exams i gotta develop one move that would make them swim into my hands.

nice fish! congrats on the PB cliff!

i agree with Dutch, i think you should find some local newspaper office and claim the record.

seriously though, that fish got some girth ... a 19" that i caught was 3.3lbs, and it wasn't fat at all

u were using ur thunnus + technium? lol!

good to hear that you're getting into good action in July! now i don't believe dsn and your dad only got 1 each ...

nice pics

i know eh Steve. I hope that Carp disease is not turning them all small and green. lol

nice pics daniel!

beautiful pics Dan! thanks for posting!
