I'm just wondering if that's gonna take some fan pressure of Jeff Gordon now that he and Dale Jr are team mates. Man, some Dale Jr. fans and crazy the way they behave when Jeff wins a race!

Plus carp fight better this time of year than the Senators.

Spanked.

I love this thread because for once my Leafs aren't the ones being bashed! lol

Wow, you get a day like that and there's no need for a gym membership! That's a lot of fish MJL and a terrific day to be sure. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great report Bassmaster4 and looks like an outting with Dad you'll both remember.

Ya, you're a fine one to talk Greencoachdog!!!

Leafs in six.

A realy beauty Steve! I'm still waiting for my first Mirror.

WTG Steve. Sorry nobody had any luck out Hammy Harbour way, but your run and gun got you a good one later in the day, eh? Well done.

My sympathies go out to you and your family, Lew. Thank you for sharing your tribute to your Brother with your on-line family here at OFC. We share in your sorrow.

So when do you sleep??? lol Nice night time fish CCMT and me thinks you may have stumbled upon an underused carp presentation.

Photoz, I can't really comment on specifics about the way the fish fought since it was my fishing buddy that played it. I was busy mostly 'coaching.' Hope to run into ya out there Steve. And Xrap, a bite alarm is a electonic device that not only supports your rod in the carp pod( stand )but also, the line passes through it. When the line moves( carp on! )the alarm goes off. It's great because you don't have to constatly be staring at your line.

Well, inspired by Uncle Buck's recent carp success, I headed to the harbour to give it a go with my friend Judy. She had never fished carp before and was really looking forward to our outing. We found a few others out on the harbour tonight and had ourselves set up by about 5:30 or so. After chowing down on some sandwiches( Thanks Judy ), our bite alarm goes off and Judy is into a real beauty. Unfortunately it gets off just before I'm able to get the net on it. Dohhh! We load the hair rig up with maize and fire it back out. Off goes the alarm again and Judy is into another huge fish. Darn if it doesn't look as big as the first one she had on. Got the net on this one( Thank you Zoltar for lending us your net )! And another Bud, who is here vacationing from Scotland, gets his weigh scale out and doesn't it weight 31lbs! A carp virgin no longer! Anyhoo, it was a terrific time out and great to meet everyone, including Uncle Buck himself. A fine, fine fellow as many OFC'rs know after the BOQ outing. And here's where Uncle Buck set up for the evening( Hope you don't mind me posting this pic below of you guys Goran ). Saw one other nice carp caught before everyone gathered up their pods and shut 'er down for the night. And a glorious sunset sent us home. Cheers!

Chill. Just offering an observation. It's a message board.

That's funny. A non-native is caught poaching and everyone still bashes the Natives.

Nice job, Uncle Buck. Isn't it sweet when that bite alarm goes off, you engage the baitrunner reel, lift the rod up and feel that train on the end of your line!!! Really nice when everything, right down to the hair rig, works exactly the way it should. That's it.. I'm gonna give 'er a go tomorrow night after work! Thanks for posting!

Well, I'd say that's a good days fishin' and an opener to remember. WTG guys!

Nice report and pics frozen-fire. Thanks for taking the time to share your day with us. I really enjoy reading about great urban fishing adventures and that was a terrific one.

I'd love to see Jr. hook up with Rouch. Maybe HE could make the Fords go fast. (lol)

Nice report and pics there Steve, right down to the fillets!!! Pan fishing with a light action rod and a float is one of my favourite ways to fish. Always takes me back to the simpler way of fishing when I was younger. Not to mention the great eating! I wish there were more panfishing reports. Thanks for yours!

Here's an idea, go fish the Grand but on your way home, drop by the the fresh fish counter at your grocery store and pick yourself up something. You get your fishing in AND a fresh meal of fish.

It should be ok. There are more Leaf fans in Ottawa than Sens fans anyway!

Too bad you guys didn't get into many fish! (lol) An awesome fishing trip and a lot of nice pics to remember it by. Thanks Solo!

Thanks for the nice tour Pikehunter! I was stuck doin' yard work today and never got a chance to head out and really enjoy the day. But with your pics, I just took a tour of Hammy Harbour and still got my chores done! lol I fish, hike, rollerblade around the harbour myself, so it was nice to see all your photos! Cheers!
