MJL Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 urbanangler, to minimize the chance of donating your rod to the carp gods, you can loosen your drag so it acts very much like a baitrunner. Nice fish...Sounds like you guys had a great day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanangler1990 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 yep i knew that MJL, wouldnt have matterd cus of the way i placed the rod down, nothing holding it, was half in, i wanted to go for a swim i guess, haha, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 it would work if you find a Y-shaped tree branch and it would somewhat stop the rod from going into the water when a fish pulls on ur loosened drag i'm ready for a 40lber to drag me for a swim anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Shark Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Im hoping to get into some carp on Sunday, it will be my first time, my buddy Jackel loves to catch them and fishes for them every weekend in the spring. He is shooting for a forty pounder, he has already got a 30+ lbder. He says they are really fun to catch so I hope I can get one. If I do I will post it. Interesting background colour you have there! I wont block out my background in any pics I post but I do understand why others do and it is not a big deal to me. I took alot of flack last year posting a pic of my first ever muskie, I didnt block out the background and I said the area we were fishing, it is a well known muskie spot. I was asked to remove the area and the name of the person who took me out, I did this out of respect for him because he had taken me out and taught me how to fish skis. I did not however remove the pic. He is a really good guy and apparently he got alot of e-mails giving him crap for taking me to this area. None of the crap he got was deserved. I dont think anyone should give someone grief over blocking out the background or not blocking out the background. It is a choice and should be respected either way. This is just my opinion.

wolfville Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Nice report. I know carp only drag in the good rods, if they made a mistake they return the rod to you, like what happened to you...LOL just kidding. I can never have enough carp porn, thanks for sharing.

Photoz Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 You're VERY lucky to get your rod back . . . TWICE? Sounds like you have a decent spot . . . no problem here with you concealing it, carp ARE becoming QUITE popular . . . . judging by how many reports we are seeing these days! When fishing message boards first came into being, you could literally give out coordinates, nobody bothered . . . . but . . . today, post a few shots of even some decent rock bass & sunfish you caught, I guarantee if the spot is identified, it'll be fished out in very short order! Hell, today even identifiable spots where you catch carp will draw crowds! And it's not so much the spot being crowded, it's just as much the noise & the garbage many people leave behind . . . which gets to locals teed off, they get up a petition to their local council .. . WHAM!! There are 'NO PARKING,' & even 'NO FISHING' signs go up . . . another spot gone! Areas adjacent to Lake Simcoe are a good example . . . . you can count ALL the decent shore spots, still accessable, on your fingers, and still have a couple left! The spot I'm presently fishing has a garbage can, and the few people who know, and fish the spot regularly use it ... . but that small group of 'weekend wonders' who show up Saturday & Sunday and leave their crap behind . . . by Sunday night the place resembles a garbage dump! A local resident's dog found a piece of fishing line in the grass Monday . . . WITH A HOOK ATTACHED . . . . . just laying in the shore grass . . . needless to say . . . she wasn't too impressed!

lazybum Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Quite interesting background indeed. You went with your instincts and likely had some divine guidance. It turned out well as when you look at the resulting shape it is a "cross" with DSN in it - very appropriate. The City are installing parking meters in the lots at the waterfront parks soon. That could discourage a lot of people driving down there with a lot of carp gear and buckets of bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Why bother cropping out background shots of carp spots??? If you had spent the time and expense, however slight, to chum an area only to return later to find some yo-yos fishing the same area you would understand why... There are some areas we know that are chummed on a regular basis but we ask if the person would mind if we fished that area even though they don't own the water...only common courtesy...they usually don't mind as they know we will chum the area also...

snag Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Nice one! Great post! Not a carp guy myself,(I think they should be culled by the thousands) but there are definately choice spots for better-than-average carp. Good to preserve spots and share with friends. (but maybe humanely kill the odd one) This is another successful example where 2 members felt comfortable to share spots. DSN is holding the fish. Stop harrasing Alex. The mystery of the spot is the alure. Edited May 31, 2007 by SNAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
