Marko Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 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.
Victor Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 those are some lean machines! must have been fun to catch them with 6lb line in such clear water
Photoz Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 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?
Marko Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 All fish were caught at St marys Not quite sure what river flows right through it.
dsn Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 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. dsn
Marko Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 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
dsn Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 One fish came up and just chilled maybe 3 feet away from me and i swear to god it was looking at me. Sounded like you got the chills when it was looking right a you. dsn
Photoz Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 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 Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 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.
Carpe Diem Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 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.
