WTG Marko! That's hauling.

That's really cool Mike. Great pictures too they really show all the attributes that show how to identify them. Thanks for posting.

Click on this link My link Scroll down and on the right hand side you will see Image resizer. Click on it to down load it. After you install it you can right click on your picture and it will give you several sizes you can use. Click on one and it will make a copy that is smaller for use on the forum. Hope this helps. Get them carpy pictures up there.

WTG Carpman!

Bruce it was a pleasure. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Bruce with one on. Bruces dog peanuts was a lively addition to our group. Here she is helping herd the fish into the net. Here is a chunky carp about to get released.

Carp will hit lures but this is an odd occurance.I also caught a 12 lb pike on carp bait. So what. Carp will school very densely in winter and early spring. You were not getting hits you were snagging fish as you trolled through a school of them.

It could have been a disease, it could have been damage from being caught. Carp are prone to bleeding from the gills. I have seen it happen just from their being caught even though they were lip hooked. I have seen male carp bleed from the gills after chasing a female carp during the spawn.

Good stuff. WTG!

Sounds great! Take a nice bike ride catch some fish. Pretty good.

WTG! Dan.

Uncle Buck Thanks for the coffee. Since I broke my thermos that morning you offer was very much appreciated.

Unfortunately Ya. Just bullheads. I was good to meet everyone though.

The Around The Bay Roadrace is being held tomorrow in Hamilton. You may want to avoid these streets. My link

The weather for Sun. Cloudy, high of 9, showers in the afternoon, winds out of the south with a falling barometer. Perfect! See you all there.

Cw How many fish over 30lbs have you caught?

A fully scaled mirror. WTG! Congradulations.

Come down to the Desjardin canal on Sun. A bunch of us will be fishin carp and some other species too.

Happy Birthday!

Winds out of the south, high of 8, partialy cloudy. Not too bad of a forecast for Sun.

I would also check out the north shore or any shoreline that faces south with a nearby weed bed. Also any slack water locations on a river that fit the above conditions.

Carp are protected by the same laws as other fish.

Congradulations on your first of the year. I hope many more are to come. Try lightening up your rig. Use a little lighter mono for your hook link, a lighter bait and even a lighter wire hook.

I think Bills Bait here in Hamilton has some of the DAM telescopic rods.

Very Nice. Thanks for posting.
