MJL Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Spent this morning fishing with my dad (Lazybum) and DSN at one of the spots the GTA has to offer. We were after carp (As usual). We were fishing one body of water where most people would never have thought about fishing - One passerby commented “I can’t believe there’s fish in here” as he jogged past us…The GTA is full of overlooked places just waiting to be discovered. DSN (aka Spod boy, Mr. Spod, and other names involving “spod” which may not be suitable for a younger audience) graciously baited up the area with canned corn, maize and method mix. We tossed in our baited hooks and waited…For 5 min…I had one sizzling run and landed a nice 2lber. From 7:30am till about 12:30 I was lucky to land 9/10 fish which were all around the 2-4lb range. Though small, they put up quite a tussle even with the heavier carp gear that I was using. Each one fought valiantly before coming to the net. Some pics This one wrapped itself around a floating log and a dead floating bass before coming to the net It turns out to be the biggest one of the day My last fish of the day…It kicked a little while trying to take its pic and ended up upside down. DSN managed to land 1 and my dad lost 1 but got to take a lot of pics with his camera We did have to endure a massive swarm of biting red ants and scorching temps but I guess it's still better than a good day at work. Overall, a fun trip in the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hey nice pics!! Great report. LOL. I like th priceless pic of the upside down carp. You look as if you were holding a precious stone. I couldn't believe the two fish you had on right at the drop of the feeder. Surely ti would have spooked them but it didn't. Not bad for half a days outting. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhook Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Nice work guys! bites been tough over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Nice one GTA Carp boys! Looks like you are checking whether its a male or a female..... or is an Australian carp? I find catching those smaller carp just as much fun as the big guys - as you can catch lots of them, they fight hard and they're generally not as ugly as the big boys! Thanks for the report. See you out there one day hopefully. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfville Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Argh, carp.... Almost forgot what my baitrunners are for.....it's been that long ! Nice report, will be picking up my carp rod in another week or so. Carp fished only once in July so far, caught 2 in 3 hours and won some prizes because of those fish.

ccmtcanada Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 MJL...great report...I was wondering if any of the carp guys had been out recently as there hasn't been too many reports out there. Great pics...not huge fish, but it's always nice to feel the fight on the line. Bly and I have been out a few times locally, and even though we know they are around, nothing has been biting. I'll be watching the board to see when they start up again... Great job out there...congrats on a good outing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuro Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I fish for carp too. Some of those Ottawa boys don't know how good they have it. Around here I can work real hard to get dink bass and pike or I can fish carp and get a great fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect your bite alarm batteries to go out in just one outing if you wipe out the dance move. now when i'm done exams i gotta develop one move that would make them swim into my hands.
