mike rousseau Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 well the water temps are rising and the bite is picking up... every tim i go out it seems like the fish are being more and more active... and the bigguns are starting to move around and feed a bit more the other day i managed 13 carp with only 2 or 3 under 20lbs and a 28 topping off the day no pics yet... i'll put some pics up when the 30lb fish start biting hows the bite were you are?
Roy Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 With the flooding out this way, the carp are using the streets...probably looking for a store with corn.
MCTFisher9120 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 At least your getting numbers. Are there any decent spot's around Oshawa,Whitby,Ajax area? Not sure if the carp world is as secretive but thought I would ask Hope to see you get a 30lbr...wow I wouldn't mind the fight from a 10 Thanks for the write up, MTBF

mike rousseau Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 With the flooding out this way, the carp are using the streets...probably looking for a store with corn. Ha... They can google the address of a local tsc and feed up large

Just use google earth. All those places have carp.
MCTFisher9120 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Bowmanville and Lynn shores I remember had carp... I might need to go and get some canned corn an try not to eat it all while fishing...green giant canned corn...soo good Edited May 9, 2011 by MikeTheBassFisher
Photoz Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I hit Port Perry (Scugog) and fished off the park down behind the big Independent store from 06:00 to noon . . . . flung at least 5+ pounds of corn and a pound of boilies out . . . . never got a sniff . . . . not another fisherman in sight? Signs there had been plenty of 'em there though . . . I could have picked up at least 3 - 4 bags of garbage, but I only had 2 empty bags in the van. I'm gonna pick up a new package of bags and use 'em if I go back next weekend. Water is still VERY damn c c c c c o l d, needs at least another 5 - 10 degrees to get 'em moving. Although it was quite warm there, a cold wind outta the north, and a storm front that had just moved through sure didn't help. I catch a lotta carp . . . . my very BEST day was 18 . . . . in about 8 hours, and they were hitting good . . . . to bait up, get a big one on, and fight & land him, every 20 minutes is quite a feat . . . . especially when the water's still cold . . . . perhaps I could sign up for lessons? Do you buy your sweet corn by the 1 gallon bucket . . . . must get VERY expensive?

Do you buy your sweet corn by the 1 gallon bucket . . . . must get VERY expensive? That may be too much bait... You want a lot of carp feeding and warm water temps(50+ degrees) for a pound of boilies and a couple pounds of corn in a few hours... Also... You can use cow corn from a feed store... Most people boil it... I soak it in a bucket in the driveway for a week... This way the corn is softer... And it's about 10-15 dollars for 40kg of dry corn...
Photoz Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 I ALREADY have a 40 kilo bag of cow corn, which I boil in strawberry KoolAid, vanila & anise. Plus a 40 kilo bag of chicken scratch, 25 kilo of dry molasses, 25 kilos of (coarse) wild birdseed, 40 kilos of pig chop, 40 kilos of calf starter & 15 kilos of bread crumbs for my groundbait baitballs. Anything I missed? (P. S. Ya can't OVERFEED carp, there isn't enough food out there to fill 'em up!)
Roy Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Caught a couple in my kayak last Friday. Nice shot. Glad you're using the kill switch.
