Tyler0420 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Fished the north shore of the harbor today from 1:30-5:30 with no bites. Another guy was carp fishing when I drove by to grab a coffee when I got back he was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Nice shot Tyler .....maybe the sunshine tomorrow will get the carp in the mood for some treats ! I raided the Dollar store today & got some cream corn for 50 cents a can . Oiling up the Mad Dragon -Bait Runner tonight ! I wonder if carp will take bread balls dipped in cream corn ....worth a try ..... I met a young guy fishing for trout at Port today .....nice chatting his ear off , and he is just getting into carp fishing . I told him to tune in here for some good carp reads .....hope to see him join in the fun ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Stopped by Lasalle this morning on my way to work looking for some signs of carp. Cast the deeper around for a half hour no signs of anything. Beautiful day out today. Fish Farmer and Bubba14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Very cold last night ,where's the ice there ? It was 18*F here this morning (now 40*F) I'm sure Rennie Pond iced over last night .....but will be gone later today .... Picture looks very carpish ! Reports coming in about 2 scuba divers in Welland ...one is now out and the other can be seen still under the ice ..... ....hoping they survived ok ....

Tyler0420 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Maybe 1/4 of the marina had skim ice. Outside the break wall is wide open. Takes a lot to ice up the harbor. Not sure when the ships stop coming in or maybe they keep coming till the ice is too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The canal has been drained , no ships... tons of rock being brought in to shore up the bank ,all trees gone ! ...BIG project ! I have a heavier ice fishing rig ready to try ...stronger rod & reel , 12 lb. line , drop shot rig with larger Octopus hook , 6" off bottom and 3 oz.weight on bottom ( bolt rig) . I'll use it every time I go ice fishing for perch .....nice to have 2 rods ! Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Funny how new vids come up on You Tube after clearing the cookies , etc. ..... This one was interesting to see a young guy carping (with 2 rods) near Reagan Airport when a bunch of cops show up . As he was talking to the police , his rods were bouncing with a carp on each one !! The voices of the police were hard to hear so I missed some of the conversation . He was told he could fish the opposite side of the river which he did ... Some of the comments are funny .... one said "that cop was wishing he could grab that other bouncing rod " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqhv7zl2sks&ab_channel=IHUNTA Fish Farmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Got out yesterday evening for a couple hours at Lasalle marina. No luck but was good to get out anyways. Rain was on and off the whole time. I fished pva bags filled with crushed boilies. Today I fed my local lake in hopes of bringing in some carp to fish in a few days. Off to work now, might fish this evening on the way home. Bubba14 and Fish Farmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Good idea with the PVA bags . I forgot I have some . Can you put maize in them if the juice is wiped clean ? Maybe a small stone inside to sink them in deep water , like 30 feet deep ? My carp rods are on 'stand by' , ready when needed ! Maybe need some extra 'heat' in the baits. The cement capping looks like it's covered with ice .... Got your creepers on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 It’s kinda tricky putting corn in pva. Gotta make sure it’s dry and squeeze the water out. If you compact it in the bag the juices will come out of the corn and dissolve the bag. Fill the bag with oats maybe to absorb any juice that comes out of the corn. I use crushed boilie or a stick mix. you can definitely add a stone to help it sink faster in deep water or double bag it to slow the dissolving process . The cold water takes longer to dissolve the pva. no ice on the cement it was all water. Could make for some dangerous conditions if it was ice.

smerchly Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 The cement looks like it's slick some... salt or sand might be handy to have on hand. When I had the F150 I put 4 large 40# ice salt bags in the bed . It comes in handy if you are stuck on ice , just toss a shovel full under the wheels . I see guys using cement blocks or large patio stones in the pickups .....not a great idea in a crash . Maybe drying the corn on a paper towel then rolling the ball in flour just before using the pva bag would work , or leave the paper towel wrapped around it .Other products like CORNmeal migh help also .

Tyler0420 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Rain today so no work. Fished local lake from 10:30-4pm 🦨ed. I did get to watch the lake thaw while it was raining that was a blast 🙄. need some more of the lake to open up so I can get to deeper waters(6fow). I was fishing 2-3fow. 90+% of the lake still had ice on it. 1 carp before she freezes over again would be nice. Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
