Carp fishing

[Marko]

Gone fishing with a friend of mine and hooked into some fish.

Plan was to go after smallmouths but after i saw these guys swim around i couldnt really resist.

The thrill was catching them in the pools where they were just relaxing and looking for something to eat.

Ended up going 4/6 with one breaking my 6 pound line off.

All of them were caught on corn.

 

Here are some pics.

those are some lean machines!

 

must have been fun to catch them with 6lb line in such clear water

Yup . . . . it IS a real test of skill bringing in a good sized carp on light gear!! With the water being so clear, the 6 pound line sure helps. Good healthy lookin' fish . . . . . Grand River?

All fish were caught at St marys

Not quite sure what river flows right through it.

Nice fish. Looks like a great palce to hunt down carp. I love clear water carping. Its a blast to see your yellow corn disappear.

One fish came up and just chilled maybe 3 feet away from me and i swear to god it was looking at me.

Then it found my corn and just nudged it and swam away.

It teased me LOL

 

I wanted to go back there today but made a mistake and ended up going to Conestogo Lake.

I didn`t realize that everything around that lake is a private property and had to settle for fishing bellow the dam.

Didnt catch anything tho

Likely one o' them thar killer Asian carp, sizin' you up . . . . . gettin' ready to jump up and lay his tail alongside your head . . . . . lucky to escape with your life! Is that stretch of water anywhere near Sarnia . . . . heh . . . heh?

[Marko]

Naww nowhere near Sarnia haha

I`ve seen those crazy fish jump around on some Youtube videos.

Also i saw rednecks catching them with bows and arrows.

I wonder how many get injured every year, shoothing like that.

Not sure but that could be the Thames River. St. Mary's is close to London, on the way to Stratford if i remember correctly. Nice fish Marko.
