Good Quality is certainly hard to come by these days...

You forgot to tell 'em about the Pike that stole your lure from you!!

Nice!! BEAUTY FISH FOR SURE! Too bad I couldn't hook into anything either... same with my buddy. Ah well..... Nice to bump into you there though

Interesting question - I've never CARP fished before... but wouldn't mind getting into it also.... What DO you use when they're surfacing? or IS THERE something that can be used?

Super Glue should do the trick.... but the problem may lie in how STRONG the glue is... But cause its on a ROD TIP... there isn't much "Pulling Action" going on... aside from the natural friction coming from the line exiting your rod tip (especially when a fish is on the other end)... but it should be ok.... Personally though....I wouldn't trust my gear with it. Probably better going to get the glue thats INTENDED for that use... Last thing you'd want is catching the 'Biggest Fish' of your life... and the rod tip failing.... and making fighting the fish THAT MUCH MORE difficult.

Check out their website - they SHOULD have a "Authorized Dealers" or "REPAIRS" type section.... and you should be able to find locations in ONTARIO. I know of one in Mississauga... I think its called "AIKMAN SPORTS"... near DUNDAS & HURONTARIO (HWY10)... I think its just WEST of HURONTARIO... on the NORTH SIDE of DUNDAS. Not too sure they deal with SHIMANO tho... I know they do for DAIWA... May want to call them... Here's the INFO... Aikman A Sporting Goods Repair 3010 Novar Road Mississauga, ON L5B1S4 P#: (905) 277-3595 PS: Here's the MAP EDIT: I forgot to mention... its in a very small MALL STRIP literally about 4-5 stores wide...I don't think they have any visible "ADVERTISEMENTS" or anything visible from the street..... and its the LAST BUILDING on the NORTH SIDE (Strip runs NORTH/SOUTH)

Couldn't say it anymore clear Love the C4!!

Seriously?! Oh man!! oh well....Guess I'll stick with the OLIVE GREEN XRAPS...

The waters itself aren't private property - but if you're on the property itself... then yes, I would agree.

I still remember my 1st PIKE! So far my PB (Personal Best)... I've found that using the OLIVE GREEN XRAP works amazing for BLUFFS... Or if you've got one of DAVE MERCER's "MERCER MAGIC"... those work great too... caught all my pike off those lures @ The Bluffs.... Good luck man!! Don't forget to post a report once you hook into your 1st!

Actually.... Come to think of it Worm-Dangler... The closest replica that Rapala has that looks almost similar in colour to the MERCER'S MAGIC pattern; is the OLIVE GREEN coloured X-Rap....Try those....

You gotta go to BASS PRO SHOPS... its exclusive to BPS only. I saw them once @ the BPS in VAUGHAN MILLS - Bought the last 5 there. Been there a couple times since - and haven't seen it restocked. I MSG'd Dave Mercer himself asking if he knows anything about the production on his Signature Series Rapala X-Rap.. I'll let you guys know what he says....

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hahahaha The rocks along marina shoreline give it away....

Whoa boy!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! *Flickers lights on/off* Someone hasn't gone fishing today!

Always nice to find old fishing trips and catches! Brings back old memories! Thanks for sharing!

Hey OFC'ers... So, my buddy and I decided to hit my favorite marina where I caught my very 1st and 2nd ever PIKE! Let me 1st start off by letting you how my Thursday night went - My Sister-In-Law has been away on Vacation with her Boyfriend for a week to Punta Cana... They were scheduled to arrive @ Pearson approx. 1:57am. My buddy and I were bored sitting @ home watching fishing videos... we thought we'd go for a drive then eventually go to the airport. We headed around 1:30pm... checked the arrivals... DELAYED!! 2:45.....so, we decided to head back home (15min away) and we'd head back again in about 30min....we come back around 2:30....and guess?! DELAYED AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!.... This time it is delayed till 4:45am!! OMG!! And we're supposed to go fishing the next day... so, instead of driving back home and coming back again - we thought we'd just drive around and eventually pull over and take a nap. A couple hours of napping goes by ... I finally get a call that they've arrived.... OH MAN! FINALLY!! We drive to the airport and pick them up.... eventually leave for home around 6am. Friday morning... I take my Fiance to work... so, essentially I'm left with only 2hrs of nap before I take her to work @ 8am! After dropping her off @ work - we decide to go to where I caught my 1st pike! Sooooooooo excited!! We got to our destination around 9:35am... and started fishing right away! The water is SO CLEAR... probably a good 12ft of visibility for the fish!! You can see TONS of fish swimming around the marina... Carp, Bass and Pike! Couple hours into fishing..... I only managed to get 3-4 follows..... till finally I saw a pike chilling along a shoreline... I toss pass it.... twitch it.... get its attention... and WHAM!! FISH ON!! Hahaha.... I love pike fishing!! Here's the pic.... And yet again.... the lure of choice... Dave Mercer's "Mercer Magic"... Man!! THIS LURE IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HIT THE MARKET!! Anyway... that's my report for today! Have a great weekend everyone! HAPPY FISHING & TIGHTLINES!

best bet is to checkout Google Maps .... and follow the shoreline of where you plan to go.... lots of marinas out there....

No Pictures? Sounds like you guys had a blast!! Thanks for sharing!

I love catchin' PERCH... especially if they're JUMBO.... Lots of fun on ULTRA-LIGHT TACKLE! Not too sure if I share the same "love" on Catfish!

Hahahaha I remember when I posted this!

NICELY DONE!! I wonder if we'd have just as much luck - but from shore? (@ the Causeway)

LOL whooops!! I meant to ask about Crappie also... How big do they get?
