Hello Kevan! Don't worry one bit, I was in the same boat as you last year (well not literally a boat... nevermind :P). It took me all summer to catch a small pike and a bass. Very sad. I started fishing in January this year and didn't get a fish until March. The number one thing is spending...

I don't think we have those in the GTA... do we?

Props for the light gear *props*! I just got my new PB carp yesterday on 6lb line. Coincidence!

Wicked! My friend and I are planning the same trip. He keeps saying the bugs are bad in May, are they?

You'd be surprised what you can find in your local ponds!

Live worms all the way! Unstoppable fish-catching force. 8-)

Made my day

check your local stomwater ponds, you'll be surprised.

I know they suck, but could you suggest a decent telescopic rod?

1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) They might check it out, they might not. Worth a shot though....

so it IS possible :P Mixed results, I caught nothing but many people reported good days.

On my camping trips last year I brought a cheap, light, plastic reel from Walmart. That broke on my last trip of the year. So I'm looking for a new set-up to stow in my backpack, hopefully as compact and lightweight as possible but still reliable. In this application it would be fished from a...

I've been eyeing some ultralight reels for a future camping trip and other light-pack outings. Trouble is, they've all got tiny, narrow spools that won't cast well nor hold enough line if I hook into something mighty. I found the US Reel 180 that seems to be what I'm after in a reel. Light...

I don't have a boat either and I find that the fish move around. Some days they're there and other days they're somewhere else. Also some days the fish can be there and not feed, so there's that factor as well.

Talk about versatility! :D Too bad it's explicietly mentioned in the regs as a nono :mrgreen: LOL

Absolutely SPECTACULAR! Oh the wonderful rewards of exploration :D Also thought it was a carp on first glance.

Sounds like a good alternative to PVA foam for tipping the hook! Also I didn't think about the paylake style as an option for weeds. The mass of the packbait should be more than enough to get a good cast out, so I could use a really light sinker on the line. Would also protect the hook point...

The pond nearest to me has a weedy bottom. What sort of carp presentation should I be using? I went out for a few hours and I believe my hair rig is getting lost/tangled among the weeds.

Bang on, remember to walk your tribs on a nice clear-water day and take note of the pools.

The post wasn't cleaned until just now, when I deleted the text I quoted. I was there today with a red back pack and blue rod, shout out if you saw me! The spots mentioned were full but I was able to find my own pool with fish that weren't spooked. I wouldn't dare go on the weekend... :P
