!! Another great day out carp fishing and this time Canadian Bacon joined me. What can i say, another fantastic result of big fish and perhaps a story too long to tell considering the number of fish we had on the rods.
Bacon arrives at my place at 6:20am and after a short drive we're on the st. lawrence, the rods are out and baited up for 7:20am.
I decided the best place to start was the area topwater and i fished last week as there could be larger numbers in the area getting ready for the main spawn. We saw a few fish spawning in the weeds far to our right but the main spawn still didn't seem to be in full flow.
Basically whenever i take anyone out they get the first fish then we take it in turns. If you lose two fish in succession then the other person takes the next one.. It seems fair and everyone catches something.
So here's the results with some great pictures below each entry: (As you can see we had a lot of action and a very nice average size for the day.)

Here's an action shot of bacon although i'm not sure which fish he had on or if it made it to the net. As you can see on more than one occasion we had an audiance
We were a little unlucky as a few of the fish were being lightly hooked and came off a little too easily... Also we had some thick weedbeds to contend with and we lost a couple in trying to get them out of the weed. My 34lber actually went through 3 weedbeds and i was very lucky to get that one to the net.
Total for the day:
27 - Runs (Fish on)
16 - Fish Landed
1 - Over 30lbs
9 - 20's
9 Fish for John
7 Fish for Bacon
Average size 18lbs 4oz
Total weight 294 lbs 4oz
The look on Bacons face after a great day carp fishing.. Priceless
***
I forgot to mention how strong the winds were 40+km/h and how i mentioned to bacon how fishing from the shore has it's advantages.
I had a lot of running around to do as we were fishing about 12ft above the water on a steep bank so every fish we caught had to be carried up.. Well atleast i didn't fall in although there were one or two close calls
very ,very impressive
