Not today Ty , a little too warm down there and I'll have to check the tick situation there . Not one tick on me today ....bonus ! The carp are hitting hard and the maize/hair rig , sliding one oz. egg sinker out fished the the other rod ( bolt rig ) 5 to two . Those 15 lb. carp with the larger tails can really peel out the line ! Three of them ran out 150 feet of line and put out many hard head shakes ! ( liked my mono better) ! This one was 19 lbs , the largest one and it felt like I had a 30 pounder !! I caught 3 carp on the hair rig without losing any corn .....A day to remember !

smerchly Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I wish the water level was higher , other spots are so shallow now.... and I don't relish this July weather (but it may kill off the ticks) ! Good to see you had some action Ty. , I hope it gave you a hard time , they seem to be very scrappy now. Only one tick ?? Did you use bug spray ? Maybe they are "toast" already in this heat .....suppose to be 31*C today (ughhh) ...(rip ticks) !! I need to re-rig my lines after the workout they endured , drag sticking on my older reel .... I vill be back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 The carp are very scrappy right now. Of course I didn’t have my net together. The fish probably ran 80yards before I put it together. No bug spray. Might need to get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vill be back ! Finally tried Port Weller this week, but maybe too early in the year for that spot as I didn't get even a sniff of life but it's also my first time fishing there. I did bring back to the car a few ticks on my backpack and pants. Lets hope this beautiful weather kills off a bunch of them! smerchly and Tyler0420 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard of monster carp around the Notl area. 30-45lbs. Maybe try baiting an area for a few days and then fish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There some openings along the pathway of the east P.Weller pier where we caught carp , cats and drum when we were teens on the canal side ...tons of gobies there in the rocks . Anything can be in there directly from the lake including some big carp . I'm thinking of trying the east pier at P,Dal. some huge carp have been seen there . NO Ticks there !
