AKRISONER Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 every time you had something on i half expected you to have the 15 guys that stand on the last 5 feet of the piers fishing gear on the end of your line...at least you had much better weather than i did when i fished it over the christmas holidays this year. Nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Nice fish. Early 80,s, I use to fish over at that factory. If you got there at 5 am, you were late, no spot. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Good going Pump. We used to fish there every spring and fall until yes it became a Gong Show. We stopped after cars from NY, Ohio and Michigan were double parked in the lots and streets. Hopefully they cleaned up the bottom somehow because snags bouncing bottom were steady, one after another. That gets tiring real fast. The only way to fish was casting F-10's and lighter spoons. At least there were 2 Ballets that way then to lick your wounds after a day of snags and dealing with idiots. Nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUMP KNOWS Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I thought the crowds was gonna be a lot worse but it was manageable. I guess it was a slow day for people. I believe I was using a 1oz bell sinker with a carp quick change link like this... This way if I snagged, I would only loose my sinker and I can quickly add another one.

Steve Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 it all works... your fishing a ditch that literally is coated with zombie fish on the bottom.... if I fish the lake and can't catch a fish, I'll simply troll my way up dalhousie from the lake to the ramp. I've NEVER not caught a fish doing that....a simple little crank and away I go.... your fishing a man made trough that is literally full of fish year around..... 3 way, spoons, cranks, floating, etc, etc, etc....it all works. dalhousie is not hard fishing....

I am confused as to how this allows you to only lose your weight? how does the weight slip off of that clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It doesn't slip off, it breaks. But he simply attaches a new weight without having to redo his entire rig. No real difference between that at a 3-way swivel. Edited February 25, 2016 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMP KNOWS Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 They can be found where you can find carp rigs but I bought mine at Sail. I use them with the 3 way swivel, I never had to re-tie when I snagged, just added a new weight to that clip. When the sinker snags on the bottom, I just pull my line and the bottom of the clip will straighten out and the sinker slides off the clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
