smerchly Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Where's the piggies ? ..... New format here , lets give it a try ..... Got out for a few hours this morning , looking for carp at Jordan .MNR boat was busy collecting fish specimens & releasing many small fish . I set up my carp rod & rigged up with can corn with a single piece of plastic/rubber corn on a hair rig....1/4 oz. egg sinker & decided to try the shallower 4' deep spots today. First carp came in about 30 minutes , weighing 13.5 lbs . ...not a great fight , but it didn't want to concede to the net . The second one was a screamer , hit while I was having a leak ! SOB ! ....good thing I had the back drag set on the bait runner ! It peeled out a lot of line and was surprisingly strong for a 16 lb. carp . That fish quenched my thirst for my first carp catch of the year ! The carp were both lean ....no pot belly yet . 16 lbs. ....the rig..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmo1685 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Nice fish Smerch. It might be just me, but your hair rig looks very long. Do you have better success with a longer hair? Im back in Niagara this weekend and will be at Jordan Harbour Carp fishing while my parents kayak around. I told them to paddle fast cause I can whip a 3oz lead at them from quite a distance haha.

smerchly Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 That rig picture was taken after the battle JMO . The hair had 4 kernels of P & C , plus the rubber piece very close to the hook . My stopper is just a piece of string tied tightly on the open line (no loop ) I punched a hole through the rubber corn with a large needle to get the end of the hair to slide through . 59 minutes ago, Tyler0420 said: Think I need to start hitting the corn lol nice fish smerch.

The rubber corn was an experiment ....put it on last to help keep the can corn in place .....will try that rig when gobies are active . It looks like the carp are just beginning to hit which is about 2 -3 weeks later than last year . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
