Carp'n with my ladies

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Carp'n with my ladies

Post by Markus »

Myself, Pink Lady, Hailee and Spencer made a trip into Simcoe today to try our luck with the carp at the local town park. The Lynn River runs through there and it holds some decent carp.

We thread on a few corn kernals and after baiting the area with a few handfulls of corn, we cast out. Pink Lady was first to get a hit and after a solid hook set she was into our first carp of the afternoon.

Image

Next up was Hailee. She saw her rod thump and was surprised by the pull she recieved when she started reeling. :lol: She successfully landed her carp and proceeded straight to the trash talk about it being bigger than mommies. :lol:

Image

Image

Spencer was eager to land a fish and she didn't have to wait long. She had one on minutes after Hailee's was released. This was Spencers first fish for 2005, so she was determined to land it.

Image

Image

While getting the hook out of Spencers carp, another rod buckles and PL is into her 2nd fish and landed it after a tussel with the near by lighthouse.

Image

We fished for 2 hours and went 7 for 12. The fish were all small today and seemed to be clones of one another...all 22-23 inches in length. No big ones today. All released to grow a little bigger for next time.

Image

One of the local residents soon learned we were using corn and stopped by regularly and rudely hissed for a little hand out. :lol:

Image

The girls all took turns breaking the odd one off. Their gonna need this practice to sharpen their rod skills before rainbow season! :lol: We had a lot of fun and the girls loved the steady action. Final score...PL-3, Papa-2, Hailee-1, Spencer -1. :P

There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

:) Man those kids have great form... Between your eldest and Salmon's Jonathan the next generation is in great shape. :D

I did a little Carpin' myself last night at the Nith river in New Hamburg.

They weren't bad for river fish: 27.5", 25", 21.5 and the best fight of the night, an 18" fish which took drag approx. 8 times... Nice :)
