Quick update from a local trib:

Yeah, it's also good for when you don't want your fishing to interrupt your beer drinking. Nowadays i usually only target carp when I want to eat some lunch but don't want to stop fishing.

Spinner Fishing for Steelhead, Salmon and Trout by Jed Davis or Spoon Fishing for Steelhead by Bill Herzog Couple of books to look into. I found the one by Jed Davis helpful. I prefer spinners in rivers/creeks as I can maintain control of depth more easily and better control in general so...

Are you still trying to sell these?

WOW! The accuracy to grab that slippery fish while flying that fast. Those talons are so sharp.

Sorry chinook2835, as I said I've never fished the area. Plus I try not to tell people exactly where to fish, I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction. Trial and error, persistence, observations, luck and your own intuition should eventually lead you to the fish. Your photos are...

Hey DILLIGAF?! I agree 100% carp fishing isn't rocket science and a lot of people make carp fishing out to be way more difficult than need be. However if you try to mold a soupy mess or a pile of dust around a feeder you will not get any distance to your cast before everything just falls...

First and foremost, I'm no authority or expert on carp fishing. All I can relay to you is my opinions and what has worked for me. The bait ball takes some adjustment to get the consistency right, I've had plenty of times where I cast out and the ball just crumbles apart in mid air. Don't whip...

You can make your own decisions, but personally I wouldn't take advice from someone who admits online they are trying to snag fish

I don't think I understand what Tubetrax is talking about either. It's true that you don't want too much free bait out there because you want the carp to be competing for the food. This way they have less time to inspect your offering, they just take it before another carp can. However you do...

I tried a Fenwick for the first time earlier this year. I now own a Nighthawk, HMX and an Eagle. Anytime I see a Fenwick on sale I almost cant help myself. For this price range I absolutely love these rods!

You don't need a feeder, use the same mixture of oats/corn etc. you are using now and mold it around your lead weight attached to your line to make a ball, then cast it out. You might need to play around with the amount of liquid to ensure it doesn't crumble apart when you toss it but still...

White or chartreuse are my go to colours. They've almost always produced at Scugog for me

You're putting your time in on the water, these long stretches without a fish is what makes it so gratifying when you do get back into them. Try to not get too discouraged, this happens to everyone. Just because you are not catching anything doesn't mean you're not learning something. You now...

Yeah, we all know where the fish are and when, duh. We've been fishing there for years. But why don't you go ahead and refresh my memory anyways, its been a while. A PM is fine. :rolleyes:

Every U.S. state is north of the equator, you probably meant border. I agree that bass fishing in the lower states is on a completely different level than here in Ontario. Warm weather year round really allows the large mouth bass, a warm water species, to thrive. What we would consider a...

Why is that?

I've had success with them. I would definitely change the treble to a single hook going for salmon. If you are buying the shiny ones with the little eye glued on, just know that the eye falls off very easily. I don't think the kings will mind though. The shiny sticker gets scraped off fairly...

Aaahhhhh!! Decisions Decisions Looks like I might just have to buy 2 setups lol joking....sort of I'm looking at the Raven Matrix combo also. It's on the more economical side of their spectrum. Does anyone have any experience with this particular model? Sorry for all the complete newbie...

Sounds like you're trying to find a stretch of water that matches your fishing style. Instead try to change your fishing style based on the water you're fishing. Weeds are not a bad thing. Predatory fish use it as a place to ambush from, others use it for shelter/protection/shade. Try a...
