  1. It is great to see you back Nick. I am looking forward to seeing more great pictures and posts. I got out for the first time this year on Thurs. I fished the swim that I chose for a fish-in years ago. If you remember we went out there only to be thwarted by ice. :)

    That would explain how a fellow I know catches carp throughout winter on the harbour, as long as there isn't ice cover at his spot.  I was pretty surprised and told him I thought that was impossible, but he assured me he was able too.     

    Looking forward to an easy going spring. CCIW can be very productive when we get one. I have caught carp at Lasalle as late as Dec. 24. Looking foward to seeing you out there Mike.

  3. Nice one Jerome. Glad I could help in a small way. I guess you could call that an International Method Pack and boy do I mean international. One ingredient is Colombian , one from a Portuguese company and one from here in Ontario. I have caught 30's on it. Then add your method mix and wow that is one multinational incorporation. I suppose I'll have to add it to the list of packbaits now.

  4. I have contacted our local municipal government, our ministry of natural resources and the Parks Board at Long Sault. Most if not all municipalities have by laws against the discharge of firearms with in city limits, bows are considered firearms under these laws. There is no bow fishing allowed with in park boundaries as well. I contacted our Ministry of Natural Resources over this matter. When it comes to bow hunting the ministry cautions bow hunters that they need to check that they are legal when hunting in or near municipal boundaries. They do not caution BFrs. I am asking that they do this. Bowfishing here is not as popular as in the US. There is a 3 month season May through July during daylight hours only. BF'rs are also supposed to not waste what they harvest under the regulations.The truth is carp here in Ontario are protected by the same laws that protect all fish. You cannot snag, use a speargun or net carp without a commercial license. You cannot just throw them up on the bank to rot.

  5. Mike In Fisherman was the first fishing magazine to recognize the common carp for the great sport fish it is. Doug Stange ( sp ) called the common carp the worlds greatest urban sportfish.

  6. Yes. Jeff Vaughan. He just did a FB post on fishing in France. I really liked a lot of what Jeff had to say about carping in the UK and Europe. As a co owner of a large carp shop he had a very good insight into the biz.
