tap, tap, tap... they are certainly different!

Hey, guys and gals! This is the kind of monster awaiting you in the St Lawrence River!
I hope you are talking about the fish... LOL

A business trip out to OK last week allowed me an opportunity to catch my first small mouth buffalo.
David Moore from BCT kindly helped me in my endeavor and the result was this 33.04 - my first buff!
6 more over twenty pounds followed including a 31.08
Great fishing, great company and a lot of fun!

Yeah I guess some of the content was a bit sensitive in regards to how a record has to be claimed and a shame it is. Hopefully the MA DOF will recognize carp like they do in CT. I just miss the local reports, its been a while.....
It's only marginally better here... bow 'fishing' is still legal in CT.

Me neither and my email is up to date...

And here is a teaser... this is the quality of fish you might have a chance of catching!

Just a reminder of the upcoming event May 6th at Batterson Park Pond.
Please PM me if you plan on coming!

Not brave, just stubborn.
Stubborn will always win through... well done everyone involved!

Some nice fish on the fly... conehead tan wooly bugger works a treat out his way.
Check out the nets at www.measurefish.com they have a tape measure built in which makes it nice and easy!

Great story Brid...
Many years ago a mate and myself traveled to Ireland to fish and found a remote peninsula on a Loch where we set up camp and got into some serious bream fishing for a couple of days. The weather was unusually warm so we sat in our underwear catching fish and soaking up the rays. Suddenly out of nowhere (and I mean nowhere since we were over a mile down an old farm track) emerged several nuns who took a remarkable interest in our fishing & chatted to us for almost an hour!

Great achievement on any gear but with a float & a center pin - total respect!

Here are some great reasons to add some imitation plastic baits to your kit...
- On their own over method or pack mixes they make an ideal 'pick-up'
- Especially with soft baits or boilie pop-ups they help keep the bait on the hair or the hook.
- In combination with the real thing they can provide a balanced bait effect.
- The bright fluorescent colors of the imitation corn can be a winner for added attraction to make hook baits really stand out.
- Bait Logic offer two convenient sized boxes holding a selection of Mimik imitation baits
Each box offers a selection of Critical (neutral buoyancy) & Pop-Up Corn plus imitation Pellets, Tiger Nuts, Chum Mixer and Maize, while the large box has more Corn color choices plus fluoro Maggots and an incredibly realistic Floating Bread imitation.
Great Savings! - Not only will you save on real bait but the Box selections of Mimiks also represent a saving of nearly 20 - 25% over individual packs plus you get the handy compartment box free!

Nothing like a productive baiting program...
Back in the same swim again this afternoon from 3pm - 7:30pm. Total of 6 runs, landed 3 mid teens, a 20.04 (lost another fish on a cut off on snag while the twenty was in the net) and rounded off the session with this 30:14
-
The fun continues...
Another afternoon session today produced a couple of high teens, this 28.08 and beautiful golden common of around 8-10lb as I was packing up.
K-1 Fruit Peach Wafters or Tutti-Frutti Pop-Ups continue to do the business.
BTW - this is a classic early season swim... a shallow gravel bar less than 5' deep that catches the late morning and afternoon sun. The water temp (measured off the lead) was almost 54F and then dropped to 50.5 as dusk approached. This was despite a very brisk 16-20 mph wind from the NNW and air temps in the low to mid fifties.
Also saw a group of house or sand martins flying overhead - earliest sighting yet!
-
=] I can't tell if that was a fat joke? LOL jk
Don't worry mate we'll S-Q-E-E-Z-E- you in somewhere...
-
Santosh, me either ! I'm thinking team Saxon meeting !
Looks like I meet need to clear some more bank space...
-
Here's another photo - don't think I've seen a fish with such red cheeks - must have been embarrassed to get caught!

After blanking the first two sessions (except for catching over 40 odd chub on float fished corn) it was quite a relief to land my first carp of the 2012 season...
I've been baiting up a new swim with a mix of K-1 Tutti Frutti and Fruity Peach boilies for the past three days and was eager to give it a try.
Soon after arriving mid afternoon I was into a 15+ then shortly afterward a cracking 30.10 before rounding out the session with a 27.14. Well pleased!

Forgot to say that Mr Sarkozy will announce today the long-awaited reunification of France and Quebec.
Mon ami,
Just remember that Canada is still part of the Commonwealth.... and the Quebecois have always been troublesome. I'm sure any reunification by Sarkozy will be to reinstate proper use of the French language.
A beintot!

Mon dieu c'est un autre Agincourt...

Not so quick Mario... its gone again at 64.02!

The author also discovers that news of his carp fishing success has some drawbacks when he returns to a favorite spot and finds several 'forked' sticks and the bank trampled to mud...

Here are some follow up photos...
I followed some of the accepted wisdom with longer leaders, smaller hooks etc but ended up with a couple of fish 'blowing' bait and hook out through their gills. I might have missed a few more runs (would certainly have hooked more if I'd sat over the rods and hit more of the tap, tap, taps that barely moved the hanger) as a result but my regular carp multi-rig with a #6 hook, 12mm pop-up and a piece of imitation corn certainly produced nice solid hook ups just inside the mouth.
After losing a few rigs to the zebra mussels we added 30ft of 30lb shock leader together with a sliding float / bobber that after casting slid up the leader and stopped at the connection to the main line. No more cut-offs - Result!
Very few carp appeared in the swim and those we caught were under 10lb... Here's David with the only mirror.
As most of my sessions back on the east coast are only a few hours I was a little concerned about enduring a couple of nights in a Bivvy... I need not have worried as David rolled out the latest in luxury bank side accommodation complete with shower, AC, fridge, awning etc etc.
