MCTFisher9120 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Went to Lake Scugog yesterday and my plan was to catch some perch and take some casts for some musky. Well i gave up pretty quick on the Musky cause i could not find some weed free water. Anyway, I was fishing in between the boat ramp and the main dock in town for perch. Was using a 1/8oz jig with a 3" leech and threw it out in the water after a follow by a perch. So put the rod down and took a few bites of my granola bar, next thing my little 5'6 Med Light spinning combo flies into the water head first and i jumped to catch it, relized the drag was set hard so i scrambled a bit and loosened the drag knowing i had something big on the line. After the fish made some splashes near the surface i saw i had a big Carp on the line, after a 15min+ fight with the Carp i myself brought it to shore. Asked a kind lady to take some pictures with my camera for me and I was happy to of caught yet another PB. 24 1/2" carp guessing between 10-13lbs. Also caught some smaller rock bass at the causeway and took a video of 2 carp I saw thrashing around behind the grocery store, kinda neat to see at the other end of the lake. PB Carp- One of about 6 rockbass I caught- Water shot with the Lake Scugog Scuzz in the bottom left corner- And the Carp Video- Until Next Time, MTBF
Joey Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Great job. I love surprise carp catches Congrats on the PB. Joey
profisher25 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 AWESOME CATCH MAN!!! Looks like you had a successful day!
Victor Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Nice fish buddy. I know you're more of a bass/pike/musky fisherman but if you have a couple hours to burn one day and you want a new PB carp, head down to one of the lake O river mouths near where you live, I'm sure you'll find some there and they put up a great fight.
mepps Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Nice carp! Dont forget some top water lures for Scugog, those weeds are always pretty high!

Not sure if I have the right "carp tackle" however, my little 5'6 rod worked fine lol. You never know, might be worth a try but I'm liking the #'s of Carp Scugog has. You might have to teach me the Art of Carp fishing.
Leecher Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Congratulations on your PB A real fat beauty Thanks for sharing Leechman
Black_Blade Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 WTG Mike, I think you need to save up for a musky rod! For that matter, so do I...
