Hello Steve mate. Still kick myself (not very hard) for not getting to that Longleat session with you. Hope you're enjoying the good ol US of A.

Just caught this one a couple of weeks ago.

I meant vitreum (zander) not virtual

Thanks, no I didn't. They have a good selection.

is your walleye the same fish as an English zander ? looks very similar.
They're both related stitzostedion species. Very similar but sander are more silver greyish and walleye are anywhere from a golden brown to green. Walleye as an average are quite a bit smaller than virtual. We also have a fish called a sauger. They're smaller than walleye but look almost identical.

That was excellent,thanks for sharing that Mark.We are so lucky to live in a great carp area too being in Hamilton and those guys are right and we know it too that the carp is going to be the next great Canadian sport fish.Who plans to go out fishing for the smallest fish they can catch? NOBODY. Everybody fishes for the biggest fish they can catch in any species.Carp are the biggest fish and most plentiful fish in Canada,they're numbers have been growing over the years and now we have one of the best carp fisheries in the world.All the young lads who are fishing for carp now will be the experts in the future when carp are recognized as one of Canada's top game fish,and they will have the stories to tell they're young ones of how it used to be.The future of carp fishing in Canada looks great and is moving fast.
When I was in Regina Saskatchewan this year I found a pamphlet in the lobby of the motel I was staying at and it showed carp fishing as something to do while visiting the city.I thought that was pretty cool and they had a photo of a fisherman holding a bufflo caught right in town.Hamilton should do something like that too.The carp are here why not make them a tourist attraction and that would be a step towards recognition as a sport fish.That doesn't mean that Hamilton will be flooded with fisherman but it will put more photos of carp at sporting stores that sell fishing gear and maybe more places will stock carp supplies.Maybe carp fishing won't be frowned on by other so called sport fishermen.Until that day the mighty carp belongs to we who fish now.
Which hotel was that?

Same way you can tell a tarpon from a tesselated darter.
ROFLMAO!

boil corn put into pail right after the cooking is done so that it is still scorching hot *very carefully* then put lids on. don't open till you're ready to use it. should stay good. use clean pails too, maybe sterilize with hot water first to ensure no bacteria and left over substance

This guy likes to fish for ALL the species in the imediate area
Now how can I convince the DNR to allow me 9 rods all at once????? 
-
crawler dipped in fishy glug would be my choice. Chop some crawlers up and bait it mixed with bread.
-
Nice one, I love pike hunting.
-
Cool, well done. Did you need a 300yrd cast to get to it?

If I'm fishing the far bank I like to keep as much line out of the water as possible to avoid the main current and all the passing debris within it. If it's really windy I will use a back lead and submerse my tip. I prefer not to do this as it is less sensitive and the line still goes over the main channel in the middle (think of a flat ledge on the near bank then a dip in the middle where the main channel is and then back up to a shallow ledge on the far bank) creating a kind of tight rope effect over the centre dip, which is not good but better than heavy wind. In the lake I just fish a running rig to a tight line with the rod tip in the water pointing directly at the rig. Although sometimes I have high tips if there are rocks that I am trying to avoid etc...
-
If I fish a river I have my rod erect to the sky but in a lake I like to submerse my tip in.
-
I too don't know the strength of a snell/knotless knot. They are both pretty much the same thing really. I doo know that I have NEVER lost a fish to the knotless knot. I too use the palomar knot for swivels and it too is an awesome knot.
-
Great stories guys. They're all good dogs, I can tell just by lookin'
-
Scott, way to go. my ice fishin buddy is going to be pi$$ed when I change my pike tip-up rigs to carp rigs. only problem is my holes will only be 8", to small i'm afraid. sounds like you need to pre-bait alot.
Why not drill 4 holes as one, this will make one big hole. Any hole that's been drilled enough will get bigger.
-
well done
-
Thanks Scott!
A type of Carp?

I'd take a stab at it being when he was hiding in a hole.
