great session - well done
-
brandy flavouring (used in baking) was always a massive attractor when fishing with boiled peanuts.
have heard of matchmen using vodka and redbull in their groundbait for added attraction.
-
had a chat in a couple of the UK tackle shops about these Korean floats and none of the match guys had ever even heard of them / seen them. will have to take a couple back next time I head over as a couple of the guys were very very interested in them

this is good info! thanks for sharing that one! Any thoughts on oils, and fish oils in mixes......and the ability to travel up through the water columns potentially bringing suspended fish down to free offerings? Something I have been playing with in my method lately is salmon oils....... maybe Mr Big could provide some useful information on this topic and the spawn bait I have heard about?
the usage of fish oils / fishmeal baits is probably one of the biggest steps forward in bait effectiveness since the boilie was 'invented' all those years back.
one of the things that the oils do is create a 'taste' column in the water which attracts smaller fish into the area that try and feed on it. In clear water these taste columns actually look like pillars of fish as they shoal around and I am sure the movement attracts fish into the area.
If you are interested in creating a bit of 'up and down' in our method mix then whack a load of dog / cat biscuits in a blender and add them to the mix. they float and the larger bits will lift up as the mix breaks down
with a bit of salmon oil in there as well then it will leave nice trails through the water as for arvands comments on using paste - it is a massive edge in the UK and hardly anyone does it. the paste he has shown is ful of attraction and for single hookbait fishing it really does draw the fish in. I have seen snails / crustaceans swarm around that gear when normal boilies have been ignored and IMO having them all over your bait is only a good thing.

Great read. Well done guys and congrats on your new PB Tony. Effort = reward! Hope to catch up with you guys when I get back from the UK

think I may be bringing my pole back from the UK next week
- seems the airline are allowing a fishing bag in the hold as long as it weighs less than 20kg. That's my bivvy and wrap and pole then mark / shawn - if you want me to pick up anything for the poles (elastics etc) while I am over there then let me know. I plan to grab a few of their floats too as they are very precise little things and perfect for delicate pole fishing.

I love goldfish - they make the most fantastic Pike livebait

am a very very happy chappy this afternoon. I feel like I'm dreaming at the moment
jeff - She has a rod already and was practicing her casting when the plastic fish on the end got caught and snagged in the lake. I had to pull for a break but was told "don't worry daddy, we can talk to the mermaids in the lake and they can get it back to us" to be honest I am pretty embarrassed that I hav never thought of that before
lorne - am really enjoying it at the moment and can't get out enough. I have to head back to the UK at the end of the week for a short visit but I am really looking forward to getting back and having a good go at them with my new pin that I have bought after observing what Shawn has been doing with one.
-
SKILLS!
- Well done mate -
After a visit to see Shawn earlier in the week, my little girl was very keen to go fishing with Daddy as soon as possible so we managed a few hours out this morning.
I managed to bank a couple including this one which nearly had my rod away as I was packing up.
I think I may have to take her out with me a bit more often
-
are there many places for the public to fish on Simcoe or is it all cottages etc?
-
well in shawn - sounds like a fantastic session!!!
-
Hope to be there
-
Really enjoyed that. Thanks gents!
-
great result - well done gents!
-
well in guys - sounds like a brilliant session and you nailed those fish!
hawkwise - I thought it was 'Lovely Jubbly'
great pics and stories - I love night time fishing, especially if there is a social element to it as makes the night fly by and is a good chance to chat to like minded anglers. that's something that is so special about carp angling - meeting people from all different walks of life who have a shared interest.
shawn -
It was a blast both fighting these fish and mating them
...especially for meis that actually legal here?

So after a fair few trips out, I finally managed to bag a Canadian carp!
I managed to wangle a few hours out on Saturday morning and after some fruitless searching for new spot on the lakeshore not too far from me, I headed down to another spot I had found just outside the city. I found another angler had just set up in the swim I usually fished so found a gap just along the bank where I had seen some bubbling about 30 yards out in front
Out went the rod and about an hour later I had my first take since I started carping here and bagged this beauty -
Unfortunately I had another angler come and set up with his family less then 8ft from where I was fishing straight afterwards (the perils of a wet net and sling hanging from the tree's) and the bubbling stopped and the fished seemed to offski. Not to worry as I jumped in the car and headed off to find a few more spot in the area that I will be trying out at some point in the future
I just want to thank all the people who have given me advice and helped me out since I have been here - you guys made me feel very welcome and I am hoping this will be the first of many
-
well done jeff
was talking to shawn about this last week and was saying how much fun it is playing a fish at night and having no idea where abouts in the lake it is and where it is going. I love it too
-
Its a good idea, i used to reduce and freeze the water left after making boilies/particles into ice cubes.
the problem with that is more often than not they would float
arvand - Tim Paisley wrote abotu a method doing that - he used the old 35mm film canisters as a mould and would put some hemp and corn in them. he said it was a major ball ache keeping them frozen for any sessions that lasted longer than a few hours
-
quite a good article at the top of the page by clueless read on fishing with maggots
-
mainblack - I know of someone that definitely did it on the river lea on a club stretch. they hung it up before the season started and then fished opening day and bagged up - I would assume they cut the thing down before fishing
Arvand - Have a look at the mag aligner method used by Rob Maylin - he used massive PVA mesh bags of maggots that really worked well on a few tough lakes in the UK. He was fishing days only and 'emptied' the waters he tried it on.

sounds like heaven - hope you bag a few

Here their reply to my email (with my mail included below) -
Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding fishing carp with 2 rods in Ontario. The Ministry of Natural Resources has received several requests from anglers and tourist businesses promoting the fishing of carp using 2 rods. MNR is responding to this issue by looking into practical ways that we could accommodate using 2 lines while fishing for carp that is simple to enforce and not abused by anglers fishing for other species. We do not want carp angling with 2 lines to increase fishing pressure on non-target species such as muskie, walleye, bass and pike. I hope that we can find a suitable management solution to this issue. If a decision is made to allow 2 lines when fishing carp, the process to make the necessary regulation changes to the Ontario Fishery Regulations will take approximate 2 years to complete.
If you require further assistance please contact the Natural Resources Information Centre at the toll free number below.

Subject: Fishing with 2 Rods in Ontario?
Hi
I am writing to enquire about a recent rumour I heard regarding a change in the law with respect to fishing with 2 rods for Carp in Ontario? I have heard that it was under consideration?
I am new to the province, having moved here from the UK and am currently adapting my angling approach to fishing with one rod instead of the multiple rods we use in the UK. My understanding of the rule for one rod was for that the rule is enforced for conservation purposes with respect to catch quota's for fish to be taken for eating. As you probably know that carp are never usually taken for the table and that most people who fish for them, fish for them for sport (they are probably one of the best sport fish in the world).
I have fished all over Europe where carp fishing is now a massive multi million dollar business, however I would have to say that the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario have to be the greatest carp fishery in the world, but my experience is that not many europeans travel here to Canada to fish for the carp because of the one rod limit - and these people usually they take the preference of fishing from the US where I believe NY state now allows carp anglers to use up to 4 rods.
I recently spoke to a fisheries student that I met on the lake side and he was telling me that he thought reason that rule change may not happen was that the MNR have stated that it was hard to differentiate between the anglers fishing for carp or other fish in the province (Muskie, Walleye, Bass etc). I was thinking that one way of doing this was maybe looking at something around the use of a type of hooking arrangement that carp anglers use which is known as he hair rig, a way of presenting the bait on a loop of line away from the hook. I have used this rig for many years and know that in Europe it is only used for angling for cyprinids (the carp family) and isn't very effective for for hooking other species. If anglers using more than one rod were only using the hair rig as their hooking setups then you could pretty much exclude them fishing for other species?
By allowing the use of more than one rod for carp fishing, you would increase revenue brought in by the sale of rod licenses as well as potentially increasing tourism from anglers visiting from Europe.
thanks

I have heard of people prebaiting swims on rivers in the summer by hanging a chicken carcus by a branch over the water in their swims and leaving it for a week or so. nature takes it's course and apparrantly the falling maggots draws chub into the swim from miles away...
Sonik Rods

chub and greys are part of the same company (hardy) so both come with the lifetime replacement warranty thing which was the greatest marketing ploy I have ever seen from a rod makers. the replacements are free cos when it comes down to it, they are cheap mass produced blanks.
my experience of the greys rods was that they were pretty horrific. they are heavy old blanks and the tip recovery speed on the prodigies is horrific if you put any sort of load on them (they wobble about lots on the cast meaning you lose distance and accuracy). I have heard nothing but praise for the Chub rods though - especially the outcasts and I nearly bought a set to move to canada with as I wanted something with a lot of backbone for the big rivers over here. They aren't too expensive either and I am informed they look good (not that I am into that sort of thing).
Have heard mixed reviews about the soniks - the sk4's get raved about while the sk3's aren't quite so popular.
