that carp was a genuine surprise lol, i remember my mom taking me out fishing when i was like 12-13, she was bass fishing and i was just sitting in the back of the boat bobber fishing for bluegill/crappie/perch and all of a sudden the drag started screaming, it ended up being a 22lb common carp that i fought for over 40 minutes on an ultra light with 4lb line, i STILL have a picture of it on my nintendo DS a whole 10 years later, honestly one of my best memories

I have a similar memory. I was 10 or so, fishing off the dock just looking for bluegill or whatever and a carp grabbed my kiddie fishing kit. Hook, worm, and bobber I think. Dragged that sucker to the dock and it gave one last thrash right as Dad was getting the net in the water. Snapped the line, took the hook with him. I was bummed about it for a week, I wanted that fish lol.

Your videos sometimes bring back old memories! A little over 50 years ago my wife and I used to go to her folks' house for Sunday dinner, and after dinner I'd wade-fish the Tioughnioga River (upstate NY) behind their house for smallies and panfish. I was fishing a Panther Martin spinner on an ultralight with 4 lb test mono, and was catching lots of rock bass, smallies, and shiners, when on one cast retrieve stopped like I'd snagged on a big rock. Not a rock, but a 15 lb carp that had inhaled that spinner! I used to run with the drag set really light, and that fish just ran me back and forth in the short stretch of water he had to swim in, until he got tired and I managed to kick him out of the water onto a gravel bar in mid-stream. He had the spinner way back in his throat, but I managed to get it back, then kicked him back into the water. FIrst time I ever caught a carp on an artificial lure. I'm 81 now, and she and I still like to go fishing - I'm going to be fishing on the St Lawrence for a few days this week, land using a bunch of the things you've shown us on these videos! Thanks for putting out a quality production! We really appreciate it!

That's why it helps to have consistent spots where you don't have to move a lot to catch fish, bridges and points and coves can be really good places for that depending on time of year.

That's really the key, reading the water and what you want to catch is often the difference. Fish aren't just "out there" randomly.

@BlkHunterGatherer Ай бұрын

There is an old saying that 80% of the fish is in 20% of the water. That’s what they say and it’s been true for me on the water. I’ll add to that by saying you can measure yourself as an angler by how consistently you find the 20% of the water with 80% of fish and how well you fish the 80% of the water that only has 20% of the fish. That whole thing about “they weren’t biting that day” stops making sense when you look at it like that. Sure, you weren’t catching fish but if you had a pro angler in your boat at the same time fishing the same water as you, do you think they’ll get skunked? Will Bill Dance in his prime get skunked?

Sometimes, it is good to hook a fish, that will test your line. Sharpens your fish fighting abilities. Those are some nice size Carp. The funny part is, if you were fishing for Carp, you would catch, nothing but Crappie or other fish. lol! They say, that the wind pushes bait-fish up against the shore, hence you catching fish, along the shore, the wind is blowing towards. The knot on that package, is the same knot I use for all my tying. Very strong. Just make sure to wet the knot before you pull it tight. Reduces heat friction on the line, as you pull it tight.

I fished a lake adjacent to a Provincial Park in southern Ontario for a week each year for over 20 years. I was snorkeling one afternoon when I noticed dozens of Crappie about 15' down in the weeds right off our cabin. So I took a 4' trout rod out there with me and proceeded to catch about 10 of them before I got tired. I used little jig heads and 1" - 2" plastic minnows and grubs. Some days they wouldn't bite for anything. Other times they were jumping on the bait instantly. Some of them were huge too... like dinner plates! Once I mistakenly hooked a 25" pike... it darn near spooled my reel but I eventually got control of it and after swimming in to the beach I actually landed it; on 6lb Stren Magnathin line. I enjoy your channel very much; I watch everything you post!

I've used foam slip bobber I bought from Amazon. The small cylinder shaped bobbers that are really good. Reasonably priced.

I caught a smaller carp on 4lb test on a maribou crappie jig once. One heck of a fight!

When i was young, i used to fish quite often. Most of my equipment is broken and i don't know anything about even setting up a rod anymore. I'd love a series that just shows the basics up to actually getting out on the water. I'll be subbing in hopes i can learn
