meatface Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 How did you end up making out? My nephew and I got onto the smallies down on the 12, they couldn't resist the shrimp! We didn't catch any monsters, but we land a handful so I can't really complain. It was nice to run into you guys down there. Nice meeting you both Meatface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 It 's nice to meet you Jon , I'm glad to see you got some fish today . As I was saying , those carp know Hammercarp and the Smerch and head for T.O. when they spot us ! We will wear a disguise next time . It was great to get together again Lorne , always worth the time for the interesting chats and I am always learning more tricks of the trade catching carp . We will certainly have to challenge the carp in the fast lane at the 12 one day . I am confident Lorne knows ways to get them in that faster water . We had cormorants emerging right under our rods today ......I think they put the run on the carp ! We also saw a bird on the pier being harassed by the gulls . I believe it was the same birds my wife & I saw a few years back on the same pier , called a Turnstone .......an arctic bird.. Oh yes ....I must mention the mailman .......nice to have met you today . Have fun on your fishing trip and show us your catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairwelsh Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I honestly BELIEVE that certain CARP can distinguish PEOPLE.... seriously. Up here on Centre Island and down at the Toronto Harbourfront ... I'd swear some of them know me, by sight. A friend of mine who fishes dowtown regularily believes the same. Carp are a heck of a LOT SMARTER than "Some" would want to give kudo's too. ps: If we time it right - You chase yours up to TO, and I'll chase mine down to the Port. lol I dont think they have - Facial photo recognition software, yet? *SMILES* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev G Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Smerch and Hammercarp.....it was a pleasure to meet the both of ya! I stopped @ petes to get tube jigs which worked well last year....unfortunately they didn't work as well this year. What did produce nicely though was live bait under a slip float. We used frogs, crayfish and hellgrammites. Caught a few beautys, and a tonne of small ones. The lake we stay @ in algonquin only holds smallies and lake trout. Had no boat so only fished small mouth....All fish were released unharmed, hopefully to catch em again when I head north this weekend again!!!!

smerchly Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for the report Mailman . Sometimes the small tubes or twisters work better than the large ones for bass . I have always enjoyed using floats for many species of fish and also using bait like worms with no weight , rigged with 2 hooks about 2" apart . The bass would hit them before reaching bottom . .....a real blast with light gear. Gotta watch those hell -gramites ....they bite ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
