smerchly Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Had to start the new year off with a few hours of carp fishing ....turned out to be crap fishing .....no hits, runs or errors , but nice to be out fishing ! i went to Rennie Park and saw it was all frozen over ! I found a small opening near the finish line building , about 30' of open water , a little shallow there.... I tried 3 different baits but they didn't like any of themm .It was very busy as people by the dozens walked their dogs , roller skated and strolled by , many saying "happy new year " Everything was closed up as well as the coffee shop . Now....if we can get some colder days , the ice has a good start ...... ...a few shots .....that mink is a big guy with a big bushy tail & looks mean ! Some ice and people strolling & a small open water spot at the building .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I’m proud of you smerch. Carp fishing New Years day . Not a bad Day to be out up until now with the ice/snow. I would’ve been out but roofing got in the way. My dad and I were the only idiot it’s on site today🤔. I’ll be out next week in the evenings.

smerchly Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I might have done better if I had another 10' of open water there . It did recede about a foot or so while I fished for 3 hours . My bait was just barely over the drop off & chummed lightly with oat/cream corn/maize/pineapple pack bait. 1 minute ago, мормышка said: Surprised nobody out on it.

smerchly Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 If I had another 3 feet of open water my bait should reach the bottom of the slope , might have had more luck fishing deeper. I chummed with oat/cream corn/maize/pineapple pack bait rolled into balls . I tried cheese cloth balls with chopped minnows for lots of scent , cheese bags with cream corn & chopped maize , and using maize on larger hook with yellow marsh-mellow to elevate off bottom an inch or so ....here you can see the edge of the ice ,about 30' from shore ....
