  1. I don't know, good question. My answer is just my opinion, so don't hop all over me if i'm dead wrong. I learned in science class that Teflon (a popular carp hook coating) , doesn't rust, only the material beneath it does, IF the teflon is scratched or damaged. I think it can stay in a fish for a while, depending on the circumstances. I imagine though, the teflon would get scratched from fish continuing to feed, therefore causing the material underneath it to rust. But I don't know if all hooks contain teflon. Can someone enlighten me?

  2. Lol I have to ask Simon I forgot the name he showed me the one I got and a Nash I just can't remember it's great net tho next time I see you I'll show you it

    Nash H-Gun?
  3. tell me, what is your experience with the cat fish investigating that bait? The bait was devised to keep off the poisson chat, just wondering if its effective on our local bad cats?

    shawn, i use this bait purposely at night for big cats. works everytime! so, not very cat resistant.
  4. I fished Pier 4 yesterday and did the overnight session with Dropback, Hug.. I mean Colin, and Mgreen. It was a blast. That even included a triple run.

    Earlier I joined Mark, and his two sons. It was a very enjoyable session for all. Even caught some fish too.

    I even managed a lump, after struggling for a couple sessions. This one of many fish for all of us. "Red Octobers Daughter"

    Mark took some amazing pics! Thanks again!

  5. Never under estimate the Carp Gods, the good days are coming! :Old:

    I agree with Arvand. My uncle got his first mirror 2 days ago, after only carp fishing for a couple monthes. It only took me a couple monthes too.
  6. i think it was a 60-70 fish day , because i landed 12 by the haida. it was a fun day until my net broke and drifted down to the bottom of the lake FFS. great seeing and hanging out with everyone for a little while, well done on the haul.

  7. The boys and I got together again for a fun session of fishing. An overnighter. We all gathered at a local swim, with our bivvies and tent's set up, put out some bait. And waited, and waited, and waited. I even dozed off for a little while. But at 8:30 rolled around, we were all hungry. Hotdogs and Bacon were on the menu. Greeeeeeasy! We began to chomp away, and watch the distant storms, getting updated via friends on the weather. Then beeeeeeeeeeeeeep, a complete one toner from Nick's rod, he lifted into into, and he stuck em. A good struggle leads him to a 12 and change.

    We crept into the bivvey's talked for a while, argued about stupid things like "love". Oh Colin lol! We chilled out for a bit, then went back out. Then all hell broke loose. I really mean, all hell broke loose. At 1:30 am, the guys wanted to cook some hotdogs. Why? Beats me. As we put fuel in, Kevin's Delkim sung and he was into a fish. This fish peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeled line. And when he got it close, I swore it looked kinda, scaley? Then I said to him, "Mate, congrats on your first mirror." He didn't believe me. I netted it, and said "Kevin come take a looksy" He replied, "It's a mirror!" and with my sarcasm I said "No Kevin, I thought it was an Orca Whale" We put her on the mat and then weighed her. 11lbs 12oz. But just as we finished the video, my rod, which had been getting constant knocks, finally shot off. Then, the wind changed, and went nuts, as I held a 12 foot lightning rod in my hand I horsed this fish in. A big, PB 11lb Channel Catfish grazed the net.

    NOTICE- in this picture of my cat, the hot dogs are boiling.

    Meow, this one's for you Dino. Caught on a snowman.

    Then it got bad, real bad. Our goal was to get to the apartment up the street for shelter. Yeah right, fat chance we were going to make it. I began to get worried, that storm was no more then 3 minutes away. We grabbed our rods and pods and moved it away from site. Everything went on top of the landing mat, and was secured by a pegged down tarp. Meanwhile, Nick and Colin are cooking the hotdogs. Everythings put away, and were about a minute from being hit. Then it hit us, Nick and Colin ran into the tent, burning themselves on the hot water, I tripped and fell over something. But we got in. Safe. We waited out one of the worst thunderstorms ever. Eventually Nick, Colin and I fell asleep, while Kevin had a mental breakdown, curled up into a fetal position and rocked back and forth in the corner of the bivvey. Poor kid. With every flash of lightning, I could see flashbacks of my life. By 4:00am it was on the Hamilton Skyline. Stunning light show. I went back to bed.

    Nick got up, followed by Kevin. I slept, and so did Colin. But Nick excuted, and managed to pull out nice common. 8lbs. Then Kevin stuck one.
