Holy smokes!! Wow, dude, I caught my first carp with, and thanks, to you! Back when the world, and ofc, were young! Grass was geener, mountains taller and children kinder! Before I even had one of my own. Been many years! Thought of a telescopic rod hadn’t even crossed my mind funnily enough. I’ll pm you some contact info and we will figure things out. Thanks!

No problem. Yes true people were a lot kinder.

You’re welcome! 

dsn???

I can solve that issue for you once and for all. You can have my “Shimano EXAGE S.T.C. TE comes with a hard case, rod bag, guide guard and the telescopic rod. I haven’t used it for awhile. Been too busy with life. It’s in great condition. Just have to find away to get it to you. ??? 

Let me know “If you want it.”

Been so busy taking care of a family member,  that I hardly had anytime for anything else. Finally got out after a year to do some carp fishing.And playing with my waterproof camera. It rained recently so the clarity isn't so great. Hope everyone's enjoying this heat. 

My favorite is the Black Burnain Warbler. I came across it once. And that was it.

Nice pics!

I prefer a DSLR. Been shooting with mirrorless cameras and from what I can tell you is that you do lose

sharpness and detail. I compared my photos from a mirrorless camera with my Bros dslr. I find a huge difference in sharpness and details loss from mirrorless cameras. Been shooting birds and I can say you don't get the fine detail in the birds feathers with mirrorless cameras. I also seem to sharpen the photos a bit with software after shooting with a mirrorless camera. Looking at getting a dslr.

Just read it now.

Toronto island harbor. Maybe it's time to breakout the carp gear.

Saw that report on the news. I'm sure all the carp addicts will swarm the local area to haul them out. I would. My gear needs to be dusted off tho.

Nice fish. Your photo gives me some ideas. Lol

I could use a new reel if they took their gear. Tried carpfishing this year once and my reel gave way.

Cool I wonder if they will scare the mosquitos away! Alreadygot bitten uin the neck twice photographing birds in a stream. New hobby.

You can always go weightless too if you get the corn and hook out without weights. Carp usually hit and run. I have done it many times.

Hey dsn, you and I both, I'm looking forward to dusting off my equipment

my equipment is collecting dust.

Been busy, haven't been out for many moons. Found a new hobby.

Welcome Back! I haven't left here just hiding in the shadows.

Nice pic. What camera were you using. I also got into shooting birds just last year.

Its all a bunch of garbage. Scientist interests my butt. Next thing you know it will be closed to the public sanctuary like the one at River Dale Park. Closed off completely and no ones allowed in.

Yep Welcome back! Even tho I haven't been here much either. Haven't been out chasing carp lately either.

If you were in the gta...I would get you into some carp action.

Thats so sad to hear. Just when things were about to make a turn around.

Here's just two more shots from my HS25EXR before the big day. A trip to the zoo with my neice's class. After that the fun stuff, the Toronto International Air Show!

Then the usual Holiday events to come. Should be interesting.

The only I have to do upgrade my memory card to a class higher then what I have now.

Tired of my Canon Powershot 10MP with 10X Zoom. Upgraded to FujiFilm check out the results.

The above last 2 pics wasn't taken with the Fuji but my old Canon thought Id add it in. Looks interesting.

Ok thats all for now. At first it was kinda rough trying to figure all the presets out. Once I found out

what they where, I only used aperture settings and shutter settings only. Didn't need all the other

presets for now anyways.One thing tho I was disappointed with the camera body... its plastic!! Should have made it metal.

enjoy

Karper.

Opps I'm still waiting for Jesus to teach me to walk on water "Just in case."

Stay safe !! Have fun!

Forget about ice fishing. Theres a lot of places now with open water that hold huge pike In lake O.

Since Valentines day is just around the corner..I thought I'll post these pics.

Took these from the balcony when I first moved into this place. Thought it was kinda cool.

Those are some awesome eyes!! Thanks for posting!!

Great shots. Just one tip.

The second pic of swan.

The swans a bit whitted out cause its too bright.

Try taking a meter reading of the swan zoomed in(on the brightest spot) then hold the shutter button half way to get the reading. Then zoom back out recompose your shot while still holding down the shutter half way, Then press the shutter all the way. This will increase detail on the swans feathers and darken the water more.

Keep at it !!
