Tyler0420 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 3 weeks since I caught a fish. Been out atleast 3 times a week. Finally caught one today, pretty decent for my local spot. My pb here is 12lbs and this fish was very close to that. Of course go to weight it and batteries are dead. Using oats,feed corn, can corn and some left over fish eggs from the other day (pack bait) with a method feeder. Two pop up corn with canned corn on the hair.

I want to give Moody another go ....west winds are good there . I drove through Port Dal.today as I was getting a prescription nearby for my dog....water viz is still not good and the wind was still strong from the SW. ....still ok for carp fishing there.

Tyler0420 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Saddest day ever 😭😭😭..... went to my local carp spot and it’s completely frozen over. Time to start a new thread “winter carping” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Ack...seems to be the word today....like Smerchmiester shared and most of the reason for postponing the get together today....might have to change tactics from copper to chrome 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Sounds like a plan to me. I’m off to Lasalle for some copper now. It won’t freeze till it’s -20 for a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I did try for copper yesterday at Rennie since it was still open water , but the copper heads didn't want to play with me .... Warmer temps all next week .....ice should be gone by Thurs/Fri .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Made it out for a couple hours and managed one cat fish.

Steve_Guelph Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I spent the day indoors organizing all my fishing stuff after my move to Fergus. Even walking the dog was brutal in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Nasty November ! ....Hard to get a nice day this year ! I gave it a try at CDP this morning .....some thin ice was blocking my "spot" ,but soon moved out with some help from the wind . I didn't take much bait ,,,,some maize , salted minnows and corn puffs .....took a carp rod & a10' ultra light /float rod . I gave the carp/maize hair rig a couple hours to no avail , tried the float rod /salty/corn for an hour & no bites . Went back to carp rod using corn puff , then corn puff/maize combo .....again nothing happening .....only about 4' deep average there .... Spoke with 2 guys who were well into carp fishing and one told me November carping is very slow ... fishes there often & said June was great but not a single carp in July-August . Looks like I'll fish Rennie next , I think the chances are better in the deeper water .There was a guy operating a front loader at the beach cleaning up downed trees & he came over to see how I was doing ....another carp guy ! He said he saw salmon in the ponds ! The high lake water made it easy for salmon to enter the outflows & now they are locked in as the lake dropped . .....should have took a few spoons ....

smerchly Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Ya Jack ....the ship would have been a better spot to try today with the south wind . The water viz at CDP is like 1" ,whereas at the ship it would be much clearer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I havent been out this week. Hopefully tonight I’ll get out for a couple hours.

I look at Saturday and Sunday as days to avoid the crowds be it fishing , shopping or just running around. Monday - Friday plus what Bill mentioned works for me.
