RE: What's happening with carp fishing
5 years ago when I started targetting these carp, I land at least 30+ within a month starting from April averaging 3-4 outing. My numbers have been dwindling down since then. My last year carp adventure was still decent. This year was a big joke. I was always able to locate them even todate, they just would not bite. Regarding numbers, nothing beats Hamilton area. The area is infested with Giant monster carp right now . Especially at Bayfont park.
There were also a lot more at humber river close to the mouth, but they all refuse to bite everywhere ,water was very low this year. When Carp fishing was easy 5 years back, I would not mind aiming for them, Rod never stop moving in less than 5 minutes as I recall, since there were gobies, silver bass, sheepheads, cat fish, channel catsetc.. My rod moved once yesterday and one carp was landed. I was almost hoping that gobies moved the tip somewhat to keep me motivated. Some other anglers were taking a nap, and it was that bad. The Giant Maiz (the size of a penny)that I used were usually more effective than canned corn, They do not come off easily and gobies cannot swallow them. Only sold at an Italian store In hamilton James street south of king street. 2 lb for under $4. They must be cooked first, then use a needle to puncture each individual corn with tiny holes, submerged them with Maple serup(or other sweetener) and some water, the tiny hole will absorb more sweet flavour. An unused Maiz can be reuse and put back to the container to reabsorb more sweet juices to be used next time. I graduated from using Canned corn and can outfish someone using just canned corn. I packed and compress my Maiz on the hair rig with crushed old bread, then cast it. Very effective combo, only if Carp will bite. Other wise, I need to add a picture of a female carp to the hook to entice the male speacies is what I have not done so far. |
