Sunday april 1 - anyone heading out?
I'm looking at Sunday being the best day for fishing this weekend, anyone heading out anywhere around T.O.? I might try for an early start at the islands and target some more Carp.

Yes, the particle bait and paste worked really well..!

I managed to net three good size Carp and had two that got off the hook. I fished where I had seen Carp recently and dropped a ball of particle bait off the bridge. In less than 30 minutes I could see from the bridge that I had four or five swimming in circles through it stirring it up. I used hair rigged paste bait with some of the particle mix pressed around it as the line bait.

*EDIT: I may fiddle with the recipe again, but I am giving it a second go on Sunday first to see if they are still interested.

Weather was awesome over on the islands this afternoon. Saw a lot of Pike sunning themselves and caught a couple of young Carp, not the usual tankers....
