tried valen's reservoir a few weeks ago and it was the same thing, people literally keeping everything that was coming out of the water, including 2 inch largemouth, probably the smallest bass i've ever seen. was pretty discouraging and just makes me want to do my fishing up north because...

I don't think anything beats a backpack for shore fishing, get a good one with proper straps and you're good to go

great report man, nice fish! just got into fishing for lakers myself, and haven't had any luck in summer, i'm amazed that you can catch them in 15-20 fow in august, in my lake they're 100 feet down right now. am i missing something?

i've heard high park is bad they should make these conservation areas/parks c & r only, better than having absolutely no fishery

what a waste of time, fishing was almost shoulder to shoulder on the bridge there, I started off spinning for pike, did the length of the bridge a few times and got bored, switched to worms/bobber but it was pretty slow, got a tiny perch and the smallest large mouth i've ever seen. was pretty...

wow, I don't think i've ever seen smallmouth that big, congrats and thanks for posting the video, great report!

Thanks guys, was gonna ask the same thing as catfish, might try throwing some j-13's and spoons this weekend

I fished cheap rods for most of my fishing, just recently started buying higher end stuff, I highly recommend going graphite rather then getting an ugly stik, the difference in sensitivity is really noticeable, with a graphite rod you simply feel more bites/what's going on, and they're available...

thanks guys!

ugly stiks are good as mentioned above, I have an ugly stik lite 8'6 for salmon and a 6'6 for spinning, if you want something more sensitive i hear fenwick is good, and i have a daiwa rod that I like. I think a good rod for all purpose would be 7 feet, medium power, 6-15 lb line, something...

thx man, gonna scout out a few spots next week, hopefully. i'll let you guys know (not gonna post any locations though)

thanks noob, wanted to thank also everyone in my smallmouth thread that gave me tips, I didn't get to try all of it but the tubes worked for me!

got a chance to do 4 days of fishing at my cottage, didn't get as many hours on the water as I would of liked, and I didn't experiment with all the techniques I wanted to because as I'm sure you all know, it's easy to get stuck in your same habits/patterns. I did however start learning to use...

from the piers? haven't had a chance to drive down to any of the mouths lately , thanks

another thing to watch out for is snags, if you have heavier line on than your rod is rated for it can mess up the guides or even snap the rod by pulling on the snag the wrong way, always lift high rather than pulling sharply to the side, front or back, this keeps the rod is working as it was...

thanks for the detailed answer

x2, i'm not one of those people that believe it doesn't make a difference, I think angler's have somewhat of a responsibility to kill them and not put them back, one less in the water is one less that will survive to breed. might sound barbaric or like I enjoy killing them but I just want to...

how do carp react to heat? I know nothing about the species, just curious (I thought they liked it)

it's not illegal to throw them back, however it is generally considered by most anglers good practice to kill and dispose of them, others say it makes no difference.. it is illegal to use them as bait or to throw them from one body of water to another (for example you get some in your minnow...

No worries man, the tubes I was using were the same brand, KVD coffee tubes and they worked well! And they smell good
