NAW

The woman is defending her family, I can respect that...

But the evidence is there.. Heck, they where hanging out of a stolen vehicle, throwing bombs at the police for christ sake... What more evidence do you need?

I just watched a video of the kids Uncle. He is pissed off. Screaming at them, calling them looser. Saying they where out of control. And the father had no influence on them. Said the family will never forgive them. And if the one son is listening, to turn him self in, and seek forgiveness from the families of the victims Total different mentality then the Aunt from T.O.

Saw a interview with the Dad too. He also thinks they have some how been set up as well....

Might as well.

I don't think I will have time to go for carp once the tasty fish seasons open up! Might as well giver now!

Herd this morning. Some seriously crash stuff happenned last night. Security guard shot. Car jacking. Car chase, with explosives being thrown at the police. Through a residential area. Big gun fight. Cops injured, bomber killed. One guy away, and now there is a massive man hunt. WILD

What area are you looking for?

I can think of a few hundred thousand spots off the top if my head.

LMAO at all posts,

I really appreciate the help from everyone here!

Thanks to you guys, I'll be going in with a few tricks up my sleeve.

Here's my plans. Critiques are welcome. Just keep in mind I work 60 hour weeks, and have a 7 month old boy at home... Time is limited.

Friday night - Get the tinner ready to be put in for the season.

Saturday afternoon- Launch the boat, and bait 3 or 4 potential spots. Just going with canned corn for now. 1 can at each spot.

Sunday monring - Check the bait locations. Fish the spot with the least amount of corn first.

Sunday afternoon - Register a big fat carp with the Queen.

Thanks again everyone for the help!

That's awesome Brian. Good read.

well i saw an American site that tried to look Canadian,,I think

 

 

it was a porn site

 

 

and it had some beaver on it's front page

Good old beavers! Gotta love em!!

Some drop it off at the end of tiffen where I used to do. Not sure if it is still allowed.Parking may be a issue?.

I think you mean duckworth.. And I don't think you can park there anymore...

I'm sure you could find a place to toss in a canoe... Or the guy who runs the launch doesn't charge much to park there.. A few bucks..

Is there a spot where a cheapskate might throw in a canoe for free?

I've dumped a canoe in there for free about 10 years ago. Not sure if you are still allowed to these days. Not likely!

It's the launch at Lawrence Park. It's a pay launch. You can also rent the pontoon boats there.

The Tiffen launch needs a few more day of warm weather. But she's close!

Water level is up big time this spring.

I wonder if it's like this every spring? I know the water level this past summer where very very low..

This is the launch...

So I just get some cow corn from one of the neighboring farms. Boil it for a while in water, then I'm good to go? Or do you mix in some ingredients to make it taste better while it's boiling?

Wow!! 4-5 gallons!!!!! I was thinking a few handfuls..

How big of an area do you spread that out over?

They are reporting no deaths so far. Seems weird considering the damage. They reported that you could "feel" the explosion in Dallas 100km away. How could that not kill anyone?

You guys catching this?

Watching the new right now, and they are saying that it levelled a large area of homes, including a nursing home.

I'm far from an expert having jumped into carp fishing the last 2-3 years with both feet.

Thanks Fang. I appreciate it!

I know Carp fishing / rigs can get quite complex but really, a rig nothing more than this will work:

That is very similar to what I had in mind. Thanks for the photo.

I am a arteeeest.

That's great man!

Do you do anything to make the bread stick to one specific spot on your line?

Search out Hammercarp's recent post( search: "Carpin Southern Style" )and you'll get a great tutorial with a lot of your questions answered. It's a great read, particularly for beginning carpers.

I remember that one. I'll dig it up. Thanks!

 

A trick for finding where they feed us to put some corn in one day where you can see it... Go back the next day... If its gone you got a spot... Also... If you have multiple locations to choose from take a drive... Spend an hour looking for fish... If you see fish then you'll have confidence in your spot...

I like to chum an area with boiled maize for a few days to get the carp coming in to feed t

Chumming the area shouldn't be a problem. It's about 200 yards from my house! I've seen the sling shot idea. I may give that a try just for the fun of it!

I have never targeted Carp before. But Team 1 needs one. So I'm going to give it an honest effort.

There are a few dedicated carp fisherman on this forum. I've got a few questions for you, to try to maximize my chance for success.

If anyone has any information they are willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

These are the questions I have come up with so far:

1. Is early spring a good time for carp? The ice came off the lake last week. I plan on going out this weekend.

2. What would be an ideal bait this time of year. I was thinking about bringing some corn, bread, shrimp. Should I get some Boilies? Of so, what flavour?

3. I am going to try Orr Lake because it is close. And I know there is a population of carp in there. The lake is only about 4 - 5 feet deep on average. Very silty. And very shallow bays. The entire lake is soft bottom. Should I stay close to shore, close to reeds, right in the middle? I really don't know where to start.

4. I was going to try a few rigs. Maybe a slip sinker, with some corn in a roe bag? Or one of those rigs you see all the guys using with the boilies.. See link below.. But I don't know how good this would be with a very soft bottom?

5. Carp are not listed in the regs for Zone 16. So I am assuming the angling season for them is open all year? I know for bow fishing, it is only open for a few weeks or so...

6. If I am fishing a spot, and not getting any bites, should I wait it out, or run and gun till I see them?

I'm going to do a bunch more research, and use the OFC search function to dig up some carp fishing posts. But I thought this would be a good start to my research.

Thanks in advanced for any help you can provide.

Wow. That's amazing man! Great work!

Ya. That was a nice view this morning.

The boat is going in this weekend!!

Team 1 needs a big fat carp!

That's awesome man!! Can't wait to see the pictures!!

Well I suppose if I didn't work ten days on, two days off I'd have the time to "get out and explore" but seeing as time is a bit of an issue to just drive 4 hours out of the way to explore land, I need help from people who know first hand whats out there. I have one week off this summer to explore/camp and despite extensive research I still like hearing from people good places to go. That way I don't show up somewhere only to find out im S.O.L

 

So thank you to all those who posted examples it is greatly greatly appreciated

Want to know something worse? Driving 4 hours to your crown land campsite on your 1 and only week off. And having you campsite already occupied by someone else. Because they herd about it on an open forum.

If you have a specific area in mind, fire me a PM. There's a good chance I will be able to help you out.

That's horrific.

Just Brutal!
