Sadly true for most ponds in Markham.

I'm hoping that beginner's luck will strike me hard

I saw a youtube video on carp fishing using corn on a circle hook. Is this worth trying in Markham ponds? I've never caught a carp before.

I've tried corn in there. There are many tiny fish that regularly stripped bait off my hook. I started making boilies for this reason, nothing complicated. I just mixed flour + jello powder + eggs + whatever I thought would be good (hot sauce, salt, garlic etc....), rolled them into little balls and boiled them until they floated.

It's a slippery slope.... LOL


Remember to check your bait frequently... don't get stuck fishing a bare hook like I did a few times last season!
