nautifish Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well as it was too late to get the boat out this evening myself and sinns decided to go and try for some cats and carp. Getting kinda bored catching perch. I wanted to fish a local spot where i always catch fish but sinns did not want too as he never catches a fish there....lol So we decided to head down to the Pier here in Dover, Pretty quiet actually not many people fishing. We arrived at the Pier around 7.30 pm. I baited my line up with some fresh corn we had just brought at GT...... Not long had my line in the water when i had a fish on , Big one too but i lost it. I baited up again got another hit but missed it......So i yet again bait up my line was in maybe all of ten minutes when BAM! Huge hit and my line just starts screaming off my spool. I was determined not too lose this fish i lost a beauty carp two weekends ago got him to the wall but because we had no landing net we were unable to lift him out the water so i was pretty peeved to say the least. Tonight i landed my PB lake Erie Carp and lemme tell you i am just pumped. I love to fish for Carp especially the big Erie carp they put up one hell of a fight. Here is my PB CARP TO DATE. I have my 1st fishing video of 2008 coming also. Just got to get it downloaded. Sinns caught nothing of course..... ...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLofchik Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Have you tried bread there? They get so used to picking up scraps from people feeding the ducks I've almost hand fed 20lb. carp there in July! I'll be making a Six Nations butt run on Friday afternoon........hmmm think I'll swing by Dover for a few hours. Anybody catching cats off the pier? Are the fish & chip places open?
