ccmtcanada Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Well, it was such a great summer-like day, Bly and I just couldn't stay at home tonight. We decided to head to a local spot to see if the carp had moved in yet. The tribs are pretty much done until the opener, and nothing else is really open season right now. Anyhow, we got to our spot at around 830 and began the waiting game...and wait we did.... Nothing...not a sniff of our bait for a whole hour. Finally, at 930 they started to bite! Our first carp of the season was caught using some ground mix on a feeder and a fruity boilie. This was 31 inches long and was about 15 pounds. Bly was next up...about a half hour later, she finally gets a fish on...after a nice tussle, she landed this 32.25" one...again...another 15 pounder... About 20 minutes later...after feeling lots of action on her line, she landed another one!! We know how much Wayne loves our carp reports, so we dedicated our first one of the season to him.... That's all for now....good night!! Edited April 20, 2008 by ccmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice big fish. Thanks for the report. Small carp and sheep head are good to eat. It's better to check "The 2007 - 2008 Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish " first. http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision/guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, apparently they're ok to eat but I'd be careful. They didn't develop a mouth like that from suckin' on oranges. Another nice report from you guys. WTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Nice report guys. I'm hoping to hit a secret carp spot i know of later in the year for some monsters. Keep the posts coming. You write solid reports.

Big Cliff Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice report and pictures, good size fish too. As for eating them, tried some smoked carp once, I've got other fish that I'd rather eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) WTG...Carole and Cliff...can't wait to get the baitrunner in action...got some crappie fishing to tend to first though... BTW...Big Cliff introduced me to a product call "Nok-Out" ...works real well to eliminate odours...fish, gas, cat piss, etc... Got some for Maureen to spray her dogs with after they encounter skunks (they never learn!) Can be purchased in pet stores and soon will be in bait and tackle shops... Handy to carry in your tackle bag...eliminates human odour when hunting and fishing...use sparingly... Edited April 20, 2008 by Beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Fantastic catches! Nothing smells and feels better on the hands than carp slime I fished one trib on Thursday and it was totally devoid of steel and suckers...Fishing for carp doesn't seem half bad this time of year...Looks like I might be able to Christen the new carp rod sooner than I expected.
