First few fish of 2014

[chris f]

So i've been out 3 or 4 times so far this spring,last couple of times managed to hook up with some fish,landed some and lost some as well.Here are some pics perch,pike and carp.Just been using a drop shot set up with tx minnow.Was cut off a few times so had to up the #test of leader line,those pike.The carp was a bit off a fluke as hooked into someones lost rig that was still attached to the carp anyway it put up a good tug of war and pulled some drag on a few runs

sweet, as much as anyone giving praises to the pike and the carp, that perch is a good size perch.

That carp is a pig lol.

The carp is probably full of roe ready to spawn

What are the chances of you hooking onto to someones broken line. Great start to an early spring buddy, keep it up!

Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm down in the far southwest ontario zone 19.All fish were caught and released,that carp almost broke the net man what a tank,one of the biggest fish i've landed.The perch was decent size for where i fish,and the pike was fun but they keep most of the perch away when around as they are patrolling and looking for a perch snack.Down this way the weather has been up and down as well,first couple of trips out even down here the ice was still hanging around, water temps have been cold but slowly warming and the winds have been a mixture of northerly or southerly and decent amounts of sunshine.All these fish were taken on a new medium light action 7' spinning setup,really liking the tip action compared to a medium action i would typically be using anyway just great to get some fish on action .
