Sigh...they'd rather be dead than caught by me these days.... hope when this is all done we still have a few swimming around.

Steve, so, how did it go? We had a tough time in CAGI. I am thinking to compensate that with a trip to the east. As long as there's chance to get into fish. And the ducks are ripened? Let me know if I should bring my BBQ

Walking along the bank with just a rod, a net, and some bread in the pocket stalking carp is fun. I'd like to do that sometimes, hauling 100 lb of equipment isn't fun, and once settled it's very hard to make me move even if the fishing is slow. Your way of stalking carp is very mobile. Thanks for sharing... good to see people enjoy the sport in many different ways.

Sounds like tons of fun, wish I was there and not spending 10 hours ... LOL Please don't forget out nightly feed of your report ;-)

Good luck today, Steve. +5 isn't bad, as least it's not gonna be as windy today ( I hope ).

I never even opened those emails, I must have been down a few millions...

He pulled a bit, the buzzer went off on a slow but steady tune. I knew I had either a sucker or a turtle on, felt HEAVY on its way in, just didn't know it was that big. Tried my GTE-B this morning with 50lb PowerPro. It is sooooooooo sweet. I am used to Okuma Avenger which isn't bad in my opinion (I know you think otherwise), and I thought that was solid. This reel redefined solid today for me. And since I also have to keep my car so I can go fishing without making arrangments with my wife for her car.... I'll just net my fish then ;-) Or try a hostile takeover on your runner --- oh wait, he is your dad. Forget it. Make sure you have enough for breakfast... or at least feed your runner well. Might come in needy tomorrow ;-) (won't jinx it any more than that) This last hour of work is so hard ...... BTW, Victor disappeared again. He must be somewhere brewing his secret recipe groundbait and maize....

Can you help me land those 40+ fish if our pegs are not too far away? MJL is getting all the luxury of have a gofer...

Yeah, thank God ! I might not have liked carp as much, and live release would be a struggle too.

Do you have to return those rented meat in the original condition or it can be returned "processed"? Nice report. Fishing from a small craft is always fun, especially when you are chasing the big girls.

Photoz, I'll post a 40+ tomorrow night.... if I catch one ;-) Let's see who is the first OFNer to catch/post a 40+ carp...

Following is Wolf's rants, views' discretion advised. Hope I don't offend people but if I do, I am not sorry. Was in my local swim where those pics were taken. Again, saw multiple people fishing with multiple rods like every time I go there. I have talked to almost all of them in the past few months and so far only one listened. From that day on, that person only fishes with one rod. This morning, I was really mad when one guy caught a LMB. I knew he would keep it but for the benefit of doubt I told him "would be nice if you caught this one after midnight tonight cuz season opens then". But, he ignored my comment. He turned around and said to his buddy "you know, the place up north I just told you, you can fish for this kind of fish at the end of this month". Around he turned again and put that bass in his version of keep net (made of a mesh potato bag). So apparently he did know about the seaon. What can I do? I packed up my stuffs (I was only there for less than 1 hour), went back to my car and called 1 877 tips mnr. I know the chance of a C.O. appears in the next few hours while this person is still there is slim. But I had to do it, just for the peace of my mind. For these people, they have a background I am familiar with. I understand why they do what they do, so I have tried to talk to them since I know their language and culture. Am I sad that only one listened? Yes, but I am also glad that ONE out of so manay actually listened. If I can convert one, I may be convert more. So I'll keep trying. Oh well....this is my local swim, I hope when my kids are old enough to enjoy fishing as much as I do, the pond will still be there and productive. It takes decades to build up a fishery like this, but it won't take long for a few people to destory it.

Yup, waited until now, I guess there will be no more report from CCMT & BLY tonight... how sad..... Let me share some of the pics I took in my recent sessions. First, I really like DSN's in-fight pictures, so here is my first attempt, Here is one more of the same fish, he found out about the camera and that his pic will be posted...so he ran again ;-) And after a few minutes of fighting, this little guy was fiinally tired (a 9 lb common carp) The next picture is my personal first (PF?!).... this is at the exact spot where I witnessed MJL caught a much smaller one, And since I was fishing alone and trying to do the in-fight pictures for the first time, when I hold the rod in one hand, camera in the other, and trying to grap my net to be ready to land the fish....this picture was accidentally taken (I was benting down to reach the net, so my right hand held both the camera and the rod) I knew I pressed the button a few times while reaching for the net, but didn't know one of those came out nicely. Couldn't have done better if I tried intentionally. And for Victor, you are not the only guy catching the little ones....there are from one of my local night session, Now, not as good as CCMT or BLY's...but I tried. My fellow carpers, please take your turn and let's try to fill the void until Cliff and Carole are back....

MTP, that's too big a shoe to fill......but I'll try.

Exactly ! At least try it at night when you don't fish for other species. Still remember the feelings of my first carp.

#18 at 3:30pm....that's pretty good. My only question to you is --- why stopped there? I would've tried at least 20....then 30... then... Okay, at least I can dream about it. You must have had a great day there, my master ;-)

Depending what you are looking for, you do have some choice. Fish Sport has some and the prices are good, but the main stream stuffs you have to go to Fishing World (Hamilton), Angling Specialty (Scarborough), or Fish On Line (Jane/Lawrence). And please don't buy hair rigs...just make them yourself. Those U.S. online stores have tons of stuffs with reasonable price, the problem is the shipping and tax and custom charge... If you can have a trip to U.K., that's where you can really get the good stuffs.

Keep the lies coming.... I knew I should check ;-) You know, you can still go out tomorrow night, write a report, then go to Lakair on Friday morning... I was gonna post about my recent sessions, but I guess it can wait until tomorrow now.

What? no more report for the week? How am I going to get through those long dark night without your reports? LOL Another good report as usual. I wish I lived closer to big carp ground... P.S.: It wasn't because of the cold front...it's because there wasn't any wolf around when you fished last night

Nice fish. Congrates !

Same here. Fang, if you are willing to come kidnap me the day before and release me the day after, I'm willing to give it a try. I promise I won't say anything in court that's against you

Now that's an idea. Let's tell the cops that we're BBQ'ing mosquitos...

Mike (MJL), you used hemp? No wonder fish still couldn't swim straight and fell into Vic's swim. That's my story and I will stick to it.

Cliff, find a swim that can hold like 6 to 8 carpers and let's do it again with more OFC (OFNCarpers ;-).
