Saw that coming from a mile away! LOL.

Could be something beautiful, or something nasty; either way, it's a risky business. This thread has definitely picked up a life of its own. LOL.

OMG, my eyes have turned blind now!

You can rent a boat from the park. Go here for details: Island Lake For other places close by, click this link for more info: CVC

Check with the park beforehand to make sure that it's open. It might still be closed. Also, if you can, rent a boat & trolloing motor combo. Prices have gone up a bit, but it won't break your bank. Shore fishing is somewhat limited in that lake.

Beauty pics!

I wish I wasn't like Homer. I can take things apart, but never put them together. There is always a screw, a washer, or some other part mysteriously remaining after the assembly is complete. Nice job.

That would be the end of Chief Wiggum as we know.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! To do penance, I did spend two hours cleaning and sprucing up all my fishing gears with painstaking devotion.

Congratulations on the greatest catch of your lifetime, Matt! Now whenever she wakes up in the middle of night, you can always go back to writing your dissertation. LOL. All the best for your newly found fatherhood!

Awesome stuff. A 40 inch branch is always a fighter!

Reminds me of the Manotick mill on the Rideau, where I mastered the art of catching rock bass. Brings back a lot of good memories.

Lining, perhaps?

Boy am I glad to hear this, as I'm moving out to Antigonish.

Maybe it's just me, but they are too snaggy for use in any heavy cover. I've caught more veggies than fish!

As much as I love carping, I gotta admit that those headshots look pretty nasty!

It's tough enough to get a decent selection of carp gera in Canada, let alone parts. I feel for ya, Photoz.

That's a pretty hefty beast; nicely done.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Some nice jumbos there.

I work from home nowadays and so it doesn't affect me much, but I sure feel for those relying on TTC.

Yeah, from the searches that I've done, trouting seems to be the holy grail for most fishermen in NS. I guess I'll have to get off my lazy bum and get into river fishing. Stripers are completely off limits over the whole stretch of the Northumberland Straight all the way up to the tip of Cape Breton, which sucks big time for me as I was really looking forward to it. It seems cods aren't the only decimated fish stock in the Maritimes.

I think Gerrit has a point there. LOL. That's a beauty of a bird; congrats!

Sweet ride!

Clive, how has fishing been in NS? I got a teaching gig at StFX and in a few months' time I'll be joining you as another Ontario "expat" in NS. Have you done any saltwater fishing there? Shads? Stripers? Even Mackerel? I got quite excited about fishing tidal waters when I first looked into fishing opportunities in NS, but I nearly broke down in tears when I found out that where I'll be moving to (Antigonish) has no smallmouth bass. The nearest and best smallie waters are found in your neck of the woods, I'm told. It's a shame that Halifax is two hours away from Antigonish.
