Does it count when they wander in your back yard like that? LOL. Great stuff Bill!!!

Wow....those are some scary looking fish in there!!!

I smell reality TV show here.... Hey The Urban Fisherman...you busy with Dave this summer??? hehe.

Now THATS a burger. I always wondered....why call it a hamburger, when traditionally it's made with beef? Hmmmmmmmmm. I suppose cowburger didn't sound that appetizing? Or cowpies for that matter???

Amazing pics! 3 hours? Must have been an adrenaline rush the whole time!!!

Hey Cliff.... As it turned out, this Sunday wasn't going to work for us, but we are wide open for next Sunday! Count us in for now....barring any emergency situation we'll plan on being there. Cliff

Bly and I are already booked....arriving Friday night and staying unil Monday.

Yep...what Glen said.... Then try some Husky Jerks....

Sounds great Glen! Hope to see some fish and a big wall in your post today....

Good stuff MJL! Getting that first one out of the way must have felt good. Looking forward to your trout opener report....as well as the carp ones!

Hard to catch them sitting in front of your computer Victor!! Thanks...they are starting to come in now that the waters are warming up.

We've been out a few times since Saturday looking for carp. Although they are not there in great numbers yet, we have noticed increased activity as the waters warm. We went out on Sunday night, and Bly was the only one to hook into a fish. With the colder water temps, we've found they fight for about 30 seconds pretty fierce...and then they come in pretty easy after that. Anyhow, here's the Sunday fish.... We didn't head out on Monday or Tuesday as Bly was feeling pretty sick, but today she felt good enough to venture out again. The activity was increased, seeing carp jumping right out of the water and actually seeing them swimming around. Tonight we each got into one...no monsters as of yet, but fair sized carp. For those who are interested, we use ground bait and feeders....leaders with hair rigs. We've never had a lot of luck using corn, so we use boilies on the rigs. We're hoping to get out in the boat this weekend, but we'll have to wait and see. Until then, we'll keep up with our shore fishing!

Wait a minute....did I read that you were targeting Carp? They do put up a nice tussle on the end of your line...they were my practice for salmon fishing, since I had never caught a 20 pound fish before last year!

Nice looking fish! I hear you about downtown fishing....most of our fishing is done with a main road only a few minutes away as well. I find that fishing after work is the BEST way to wind down afer a stressful day.

Gotta love shore fishing. Too bad about that big one, but like you say, the fight is adrenaline pumping for sure! We get skunked a lot...especially right now when we are between seasons, but just getting out there is nice and relaxing. Carp weekday evenings from shore are on our list, and hopefully weekends out on the Kawarthas in the boat starting this weekend. Great report Glen...strange seeing shore reports from you, but some days it's gotta feel nice not having to launch a boat...especially if you don't have a lot of time to fish.

Congrats on your first! It's great to finally land one isn't it? As far as gear is concerned, I use a 12'6" Shimano Convergence on the creeks....that'll run you around 100 I think. What's wrong with the one in that pic? Good luck and happy fishing.

Awww crap....I have Ovechkin in the hockey playoff pool....

Wow...very sorry to hear this! Get him into treatment as soon as absolutely possible. As was already mentioned, they have made huge strides in therapies in recent years. Just like Wayne, I lost my dad when he was only 53 to this terrible disease. You are in our thoughts. Cliff and Carole

Thanks for the info Dano. Crohns affects more than most people think. My best friend is afflicted with it, as is one of my daughter's friends. Jen...thanks for taking this big step and sharing your story. Awareness is key to a cure, and your courage is admirable. Good luck in the walk...Carole and I are proud to sponser you.

Yes....very cool pictures!

Bly and I started fishing again (after a 20 year break for both of us) back in the late summer of 2006. We spent hours and hours pounding different shore locations, tracking weather, wind direction, water conditions....getting skunked most times we went out. We were actively targeting shore walleye....and we'd had some success earlier in the fall. Finally, it all paid off in early Dec 2006 when I landed this 14.5 pound walleye....on a jointed shad rap casted from shore. Man...what a rush...all that hard work paid off.... Edit...this fish went back in to swim another day....

Way to go out there! Some awsome pics....and a great fish too. Good on you for going to get those worms....when they wont hit, it's all about variety of presentation...you just never know when they'll bite. Another great report...thanks.

I'd love to hear about the price matching as well. I went in and talked to a guy about a GSP/Fishfinder combo...asked a bunch of questions that he didn't really answer. When I told him that a competitor had it for a cheaper price he shrugged and repeated BPS's price. That being said, I'll still go there from time to time to spend my bucks....I love walking around that store and seeing all the merchandise!!

Nice to see the open water reports again! Too bad about that muskie....and the lack of live fish. How's the sunburn today????
