Kawartha Karping

[Photoz]

Well, after yet ANNUDER supreme skunking yesterday, I was a bit apprehensive about getting outta bed at 03:00 and driving well over an hour to just get skunked again!! 'ell, I could stay at home and get skunked fishing my bathtub . . . without paying $30.00+ for gas! But bein' a real masochist & hawg for punishment, (aren't ALL anglers?) I dragged my poor tired old butt down to my van just before 05:00, and arrived at Lake 'X' about 06:30 . . . saw about 4 carp jump as I was setting up. Tossed in about 06:45, walked up to my van, only to hear BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!! I made a run for the rod, fish gone. Not a wiggle for about a half hour . . . strange? I haul in . . . corn pulled off hair rig . . bait up again . . this time within 5 minutes, had one on . . got 'im stopped . . . a few head shakes, he throws the barbless hook! This goes on till 09:30, when I landed my biggest one of the day . . a scrawney looking 30" that only weighed about 15 pounds. Got another 2, slightly smaller a few minutes later, then back to numerous line bumps until about noon. I moved down the shore about 100', not a sniff for over 3 hours, then between 3:00 & 4:00, missed 2, landed 4 more. Well worth the drive, 7 fish, but average size was only about 13 pounds . . . but they did fight well. Matter of fact, I enjoyed myself so much, I'm going back tomorrow. This is the scrawney 30 incher I got first, and they got smaller. Geeze . . .. doesn't anybody feed these poor creatures? I gave 'em at least 10 pounds of corn & groundbait today to fatten 'em up!!

Great report! At least you had tons of action today. For me it's not always about big fish...it's just about ANY fish and the fun in fighting them. You have a sweet spot there...good luck tomorrow!!!

You're building up momentum now. The next outing will get even better. I didn't land any this season until last Sunday and that one day made up for three weeks of zeroes.
