Tyler0420 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So pumped this finally went through. Thanks to everyone involved in getting this done. Time to buy 2 more setups and a pod for 3 rods!!! Now I can get skunked x3 lol https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2007-237/page-4.html?txthl=common+carp#s-32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So looking into this more and I guess nothing is finalized till may. Still pumped about it. We’re closer to having 3 rods then we ever were so thats a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I disagree with 3 rods personally. Fishing with 3 or 4 guys as some of us do at times, I can see many tangles when one gets a fish on that decides to put up a good fight and swims all over the place.

Tyler0420 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 If your fishing 3-4 guys then only fish with 1-2 rods. A group of buddies aren’t going to fish 12 rods in a small spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 If fishing is hot then no need to fish 3 rods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 It would be nice to use 2 rods ,either solo or with a buddy (elbow room pending) . If one guy is fighting a carp and his other rod gets a hit , his buddy can grab the rod . Fishing solo with 2 rods can be a challenge if both rods have a fish on.....Thankfully , most carp anglers us bait runner reels or keep the drag set easy on other reels for unexpected hits . I think they will probably compromise and make it 2 rods . That would make our carp fishing double the fun . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I would be inclined to have one rod with corn on the bottom. The second rod with corn under a float. And the third rod I would set up a flashy spinner bait with corn on the hook and cast that around for those predator type carps.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So triple the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 As Knightfisher said , we can try different methods with 2 or 3 rods . I can think of many spots where I would use a float (waggler) and try different rigs and baits . It might improve my "catch rate" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 That's good. I say all shore people should be allow 2 rods. One for casting lures, and one for live bait. I'm sure most people wouldn't take advantage, but if you are waiting for a carp bit, why not cast for bass or pike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe bottom bait ,pop up and a zig or set up at different depths. Unfortunately the spinner method will get you a ticket. There will be rules set in place. Lures and live bait won’t be an option to fish with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the uk you can carp and pike fish at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 A couple carp guys are in a meeting tonight to get some clarification on this. 3 different sites that says two different things. If they classify carp as a sport fish there might even be a season for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a fish with no teeth being a sport fish lol since they are mostly a c & r fish and are seldom fished during the winter , no need for a season (maybe lots of seasoning when eating them) ...... I googled it & the date I saw for the proposal was June 2019 .....hopefully it will go through before next May ... ALSO was reading the regs on chumming . As I see it , we can't use some of the minnows we caught in the same waters to chum our ice holes ? I have ( accidentally ) dropped a few pieces of cut up dead minnows down the hatch ! Do the hut operators at Simcoe still chum for whitefish ? They used to leave us a pailful of salted minnows .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Isn't it legal for 2 guys fishing from a boat in the big lakes to run 2 riggers each plus a "cheater " which means running 4 lures each ? Plus they have all kinds of electronics to find and stay on schools of fish ( salmon deeper and bows running shallow) ....quite a big advantage over shore anglers . Two lines for carp would be fine ....running the second as Snags said .....bonus ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I’ve always said I wish I could run 2 rods while steelhead fishing. one with a roe bag soaking with a 3oz weight one with a bottom bounce or spinner setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 While we're on the subject of c-a-r-p (catch & release please) .....isn't that witty ? Tyler ....I hope we get the word for using 2-3 rods very soon when we chase the spring carp ... We can print out & add to "some" of those proposal words that say we 'can' use 2 rods .... Getting the bug to bait up 2 rods .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s already in writing. There’re just waiting to announce it to the public for some reason. They’ll be posting about it soon but it’s already in the regs that we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled up the MNR regs to have a look at the "latest" news on this . ....seems to me most anglers reading this will soon have their rod(s) in the water . I better get this printed out ......... Anglers reminded 5) A person who is angling for common carp may use up to three lines in the waters of fisheries management zones 12 to 20, if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the person is using plant-based bait or synthetic corn; (b) if the person is angling from a fishing vessel, all of the lines used by the person are on that vessel with the person; and (c) if the person is not angling from a fishing vessel, each line used by the person is within two metres of another line used by the person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Time to start buying more gear.
